My daughter has been really swelling again so I am taking us of gluten again.. it sucks but its the right thing to do. I will have to go shopping for some of her special things.. hmm later lol.. This will help me also.. I am very sore in my joints.. its no stress though.. rice and gluten free pasta is great.. as are the waffles and wraps.. they have come a long way.. yay

B) tea
L) tuna salad 5 bites
D)potato salad with sausage 5 bites
desert.. fruit salad 5 bites

That is the plan.. let's see what shakes lose.. Cheers all!

I'm glad you'll be able to post while on holiday...I need you, too! I am sooooooo looking forward to this scale moving down for us! If we can't lose weight with what we're eating somethings wrong! : )))))))))

Snow White Fri Jun 21, 2013 5:23 pm

I hope you are doing well and have a super Friday with your family! I am going to try to eliminate wheat because I think it makes me want to binge! It is possible to be a fat vegan binging on vegan pizza!

ElleBella Fri Jun 21, 2013 6:47 pm

Oh Yes .. Pizza anything can put on the lbs..lol.. No worries though moderation will work best:D I started using gluten defence a while back but forgot about it for a while.. so I am trying this.. this helps me right out.. my daughter must use Trienza when she is eating any wheat.. but as I love all things gluten I will do it.. lol

B) tea
L) pulled pork buns 5 bites

With having my husband her on vacation I was not going to diet..after some thought I realized what is going to happen when he is here more often. Will I just throw caution to the wind and gain weight..NO!!!! I hope not. This brings me to the plan that I am really trying to stick to this diet.. as close as possible..

I'm starting again with all..My digital scale does not work so I picked up a good old factioned one.. it does not tell the .2 or anything like that.. so its just straight up!

Day 1 204

I'm getting a bit crabby as I am hungry and its only 9am.. this is the hardest part of this plan.. straight hunger for the first 3 days:P It's all good.. I am off to get busy so I stop thinking of food.

Happy Saturday all.. flower

Yay, summer!!!! Finally! bounce

ElleBella Thu Jun 27, 2013 5:51 pm

I bet..me too.. lol.. wish this site had a chat box for us.. lol

ElleBella Thu Jun 27, 2013 6:29 pm

I made gluten free blue berry buckle muffins, gluten free pork with rice veggie soup and gluten free chicken fingers yesterday.. This is so great for my daughter and much better for our family. I am going to work my way back to being completely grain free.. also try to just walk away from the SAD diet and clean it up. Fruits, Veggies, Meat and Dairy.. no grains or legumes.. closest to a Paleo diet to help me heal my stomach. Dairy I know it's not on the paleo list but it does not harm either.

I have talked it over with my husband as he had a talk with his doctor and he agrees that removing grains is the right way to go. I feels great to have found a good fit for us all.

Its 11:30 coming right up so I made it all the way to lunch.. Yay..

L) soup 1 cup

K.. Im off to go and get lunch on and take a long hot shower before we get moving on.. Yay.. cheers all!

ElleBella Fri Jun 28, 2013 4:42 pm

Hi all,

Today I am trying to stick to my plan.. its so hard with my daughter and husband munching all the time.. uuuugh.. but some how I just have to do it.. I hate the way I look at myself and feel about how much I have failed on this plan.. its sooooooooooooooo easy so I just have to do it.. I justify myself every time I can not handle it.. its BS.. I know it.. how long have I been hanging around this place at 205ish.. uuuuugh!!!!! k.. Rant over:!: Laughing

B) tea
L) 5 bite what ever .. out for lunch.. appetizer for sure.
D) If home Salisbury steak with mash and veggies 5 bites

Day 1 206 I think.. did not WI.. this weight is from yesterday and I am sure I did not lose so I will use it.

We are going to be walking a lot today.. I am planning to get new runners, mine are very warn out.. baskets for my bike.. fun stuff.

I plan to do some yoga later.. basic only.. need to stretch.. feeling tight. Maybe I will start with strength training also.. feels so much better when I am feeling strong. K.. 109 start day...lol Embarassed

Alright troopers let get it done once and for all!!!! Twisted Evil

Snow White Fri Jun 28, 2013 6:30 pm

You have not failed! This plan is not for those who need to loose a lot because it's just not sustainable. We both need a lifestyle change and this diet is for a quick fix for people who only need to lose about 20 pounds. I'm like you and have been hovering and even though I could loose 7 pounds a week on this diet, I'd gain it back the next week. In two years, I really have not lost any weight. I lost 25 pounds doing the low carb and just couldn't do it any more b/c I was eating too much. I was 225 when I started that, so I guess you could say I have maintained a 25 pound loss on the 5 bite diet which is good, but I weigh 200 pounds and that is not healthy. I need more and starving myself didn't help me lose weight. I feel a lot better eating whole foods and as little processed foods as possible. They put chemicals in that processed food that cause you to become addicted to them. After eating clean for a few weeks now, I think maybe I'm not a compulsive overeater after all. Maybe I was just hooked on that junk. That alone makes me feel better about this whole process and I can quit raging on myself. Think about that. You were doing the Weight Watchers and they encourage more fruits & veggies now, maybe you lowered your points too much. At this point if we can lose a pound a week and look back in 2 months, 8 pounds will be gone for good. Maybe slower is better for us since we have so much to lose. Stagnating here isn't helping either of us!

ElleBella Sat Jun 29, 2013 1:35 am

You are such a sweet thing...love you pumpkin.. I know you are completely correct. I also lost 26lbs.. last year before coming here.. I might have been down all the way had I stuck with it.. eeek.. sometime the greener pastures are not so green.. lol .. I am ok with losing slower.. but I am not losing slower.. I'm only losing when I eat small on my plate.. Weight Watchers is by fare the best plan out there.. eat what you want .. just do not eat over your pts.. perfect really.. but I always go over board uuugh.... I love food just to much .. uuugh.. lol:P .. K.. I am on plan and losing.. its truly time to stop the rollercoaster I do not know how I am going to do this, but I am not going to give up for starts.. so onward and upward..

Thank you snow.. you are soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo the best girl ever!!!!!!

ElleBella Sat Jun 29, 2013 5:51 pm

Hi all,

Todays WI 204.. yay 2lbs down cheers

B) tea
L) chili
D) pizza
Cheers all!!

K... I ate so so today.. I am working back towards the 30 bites.. tomorrow I should be right on task.. Had about 50 bites today.[/color]

Snow White Sun Jun 30, 2013 3:12 am

Sounds like you are having a great time in spite of the weather!

You really seem to eat pretty clean...but the cleaner the better. I feel less hungry eating clean...less chemicals injected into the food that have me thinking I must be a food addict. Maybe I really haven't been a food addict all these years...just eating the wrong foods for my body.

Love you! Have a super Sunday tomorrow! Very Happy

ElleBella Sun Jun 30, 2013 3:31 am

hmmm not so clean today lol lol!

Thank you Beautiful.. xoxoxo

ElleBella Sun Jun 30, 2013 5:23 pm

Hey all, it's a super sunny day today. Wow. And very hot to boot lol. 104.5 eeeek not fun. We are off to find a fun thing to do...yay

My husband. Had a talk with me last night. He does not like this diet or the stress he sees me in. He has put his foot down so to speak. Lol said stop it and just relax. Eat when you are hungry and stop when you are not. So easy I told him lol not!!!! Then he said you are not that over weight. You look so beautiful. Eeeeeeh he makes me so happy when he says that..

Anyways he is right I am stressing and that is not good. We went shopping and I was happy I could fit into a normal size L. No more plus sizes. Yay. Even at 205 I am in reg size. Anyways I am not going to worry about dieting. Rather I am going to try the novel idea of eating when I am hungry and not eating when I am not. No more roller coaster. It's really did make me nuts..

I'm still here with you all, so no worries about that k. Hugs all

Snow White Sun Jun 30, 2013 8:36 pm

Good advice from your husband. Don't stress especially while he is home...enjoy your time with him.
Happy Sunday! Very Happy

smhsince91 Mon Jul 01, 2013 12:13 am

I agree with you! Counting bites and calories gets stressful! It's time to lose the weight once and for all! I'm here with you! I also agree with Snow White. I think eating more fruits and veggies will help alot. Good Luck!

ElleBella Mon Jul 01, 2013 4:04 am

Thank you so much both oh you. Xoxoxo. I did great today. Lunch and dinner. Normal portions. My only snack was fresh cherries a handful. It's time to go and watch a movie and I am not hungry at all. Hope I can continue this. I'm sure I will lose this way. Yay!
