“It’s really fun and exciting. Each day You can’t wait to see how these changes are going to affect  you. How much better you’re going to look and feel and how your clothes are going to fit.” – Dr.Lewis

I love this quote today because yesterday I pulled out my summer clothes! Talk about exciting! The clothes I wore last summer are falling of…[Read more]

Susan! WOW!!  I just read your weight loss ticker. Did you lose all of this from 5BD? Did you take any breaks? How long did it take you? We have similar stats.

Rachel…..We can totally do it. I am so excited to get this done fast and to be rid of the excess lbs forever.

Hello!!!!

I got motivated and re-read the book, watched the youtube videos so I am going to push through. Are y’all doing real food or snickers bars?

Hi Danica and Rachel;

I am finishing my Project too. About 15 pounds to go!! 

Susan 

Hi Danica! I am back after a hiatus as well. Doing well the last few days. Let’s get this done together!

Yes!  I love that you love being hungry!     Being hungry = delaying gratification = guaranteed success!

Started my bar challenge today! Feeling a little hungry right now, so using my new mantra “I love being hungry.”

So happy to begin my work on Project Thin! 

Sounds fine.  Bottom line: if that schedule works for you, GREAT!  

I am usually awake by 4am and asleep by 8:30pm. I try to hold out until noon for lunch, but no earlier than 11.  And dinner at 4.

YAY!  What time to you usually go to bed?  What time do you have dinner?

I get kind of hungry around 10am, since I am usually up at 4am. I stare at the clock and start planning out my bites around that time. LOL. To be honest I think I am taking more than 5bites since I have been guesstimating volume. Need to start taking five bites only, starting today.

Good news is that I am dropping about a pound a day, at 167 this…[Read more]

Welcome back, Rachel!  I’m so glad to see you again.  You are right!: Just imagine all the time you will add back to your life when you finally cross that finish line.  It is SO worth it … as hard as it might be at times.  So good for you; you’ve stumbled, but you aren’t quitting.  And you are here to finish this journey.  Let’s do this!…[Read more]

Well…I tried going it alone on this plan. Failed and gained everything back (12 pounds). I realize the community here is more essential than I thought. Restarted a few days ago at 172. Down to 168 as of this morning. Trying 5bites of protein heavy food (twice a day) for this week (eggs etc.).  If I don’t lose at least 10 pounds, I will switch ou…[Read more]

Hi MeriG

I love plucking these out of the chats!! I use them as daily mantras and reminders.

Glad they are helping to inspire you to do this!!

My favorite is:

“Would I rather have this extra bite(s) or would I rather be thin.”

I repeat that several times a day! 

Susan, I just wanted to say thank you so much for the quotes!   I’m in my first week of doing the full five bite, and it’s really difficult.  But the quotes have helped a lot.  So thank you for posting!  

You are brilliant, Meri!!!  I am SO EXCITED!!!  

Thanks Susan. In order to stay on track I need to keep it joyful 

Incredible job! 3 pounds in one day!!!!
