@drlewis – thanks!  I can’t believe it took a few years for this to start clicking like it is now.  It doesn’t even feel that hard anymore, and I am so excited to being do this right finally!  Looks like we finally found…[Read more]

Weekend strategies:

5 bites vegetarian breakfast sandwich

Looking forward to that day!

Great, Rachel!  I do want to get to the point, though, where you can order take out with confidence that you are only going to eat 5 bites of it.  Don’t do it just yet, but at some point you will develop that level of control.

Hi Sharon! Great job!

Reset Start Date:  5/13
Starting Weight:  210.4

Weekly Saturday Weigh-in:

Week 1 complete and down another 3lbs.

It was a tough week. Not gonna lie. My cycle started today, which explains a lot of my aches, pains, and cravings. I retain a lot too during this time, so I hope that is the reason for a smaller number this week. Also, I know at the beginning of the week I was not perfect with my bites until…[Read more]

GREAT!!  Whatever you are doing, keep it up!  You’ve tamed the hunger and everything is downhill from here.

It’s late for me, and I’m just now getting to my messages, but gee–that’s a nice complement.  Thanks!

2nd day in a row of perfect 5 bites! No leg cramps today (so far).  I did notice a slight headache around dinner time, before I ate.

Surprisingly, I am not even hungry this evening.  I did have an altered eating schedule today due to a busy work day.  Meals were at 1pm and 6pm.  I may give that a try tomorrow too, rather than 12 and 4.

So glad to hear of your long-term success!! Thank you for your motivational words!!

So excited for you Alison. I lost my weight with DR Lewis And five bite 7 years ago. One of the most Invaluable tools I learnt with Dr Lewis is allowing food which I only allowed once or twice a week. Forbidden foods, keeping chocolate in the house. I can now honestly shout out that this is the best weight loss plan in the world. I maintain…[Read more]

Allison – that is an awesome plan.  I am committed to doing this 100% as well.  Hope your day went well!

Dr. L – yes, totally able to overcome the hunger yesterday.  I had horrible leg cramps for some reason last night, so I ended up drinking a large Gatorade.  :(  Hoping that doesn’t derail me too much.  At least I am getting the bites corre…[Read more]

I am new, but so far, this has been the best thing I ever spent for my weightloss journey. I only wish I had joined when I first learned of it a couple of years ago!!!

Rachel,

You can do it! I am finding motivation in reviewing the community posts. The best thing I like so far is the feeling that very soon, I can make a big dent in my progress. This is something that has alluded me for many years trying the slow and steady way!! It is hard to stick with it when you lose only a pound or two a week. But when…[Read more]

Thank you!!
