Activity

I can’t do snickers either. I eat Luna bars. Most of their flavors are lactose free.

In the evening I have to tuck myself into bed a little early. While there, I am reading a book, coloring or watching a show that doesn’t show a lot of eating (I choose NCIS). If I need to distract myself sooner, I take a long hot bath, watching a movie on my pho…[Read more]

You are doing great. I’m struggling but not stopping.

That’s a wonderful story, Becca!  You’ve found within you what I want everyone to find within themselves: a true desire to be thin, and a thirst for challenge–a challenge to prove to yourself and to others that you CAN have just 5 bites and feel amazing doing it.  I want you all to want to constantly challenge yourselves and push the envelope o…[Read more]

Whew! Made it through my first week. 😅

Breakfast was a black coffee with a few pumps of sugarfree Almond Rocca syrup along with my multivitamins.

I went out for lunch today with a friend who I hadn’t caught up with in awhile. We went to Mendocino Farms and I ordered a diet cola along with a delicious fried chicken sandwich… Of which I only had…[Read more]

Great job, Rachel!!!

That’s awesome, Rachel! Your resolve not to have any diet drinks is inspiring too.

@Itsme – I do allow myself to have a couple cans of diet soda a day, usually one diet drink along with my each of my 5 bite meals. It just makes it feel more satisfying to me than water alone. I also add sugar free, supposed zero calorie, flavored sweetener to my…[Read more]

I know how tough it can be when the husband brings you food. Your resolve to only have 5 bites of it was a great way to show appreciation for the gesture while still sticking to your commitment. I hope you feel better soon!

Welcome Itsme. Those first few days are the hardest, but it does get easier. This is a great program with a great support community and it’s awesome how interactive Dr. Lewis is here himself. I agree with sharonmarie. Having an accountability thread helps a lot. I can’t tell you how many times I wanted to have more food, those first few days in…[Read more]

I don’t drink diet soda for health reasons, in addition to what Dr. L says above.  When I have one, rarely, it is something clear with zero calories and no sodium/minerals. More like a flavored sparkling water.

Bar Challenge Day 10/49

Going strong. Lemon Zest Luna bar for lunch, Justin peanut butter cups for dinner. Today I held out over 6…[Read more]

Oooh–be careful with milk.  Milk is designed for youth, not for adults.  In fact, most adults become completely intolerant to it at some point in their life.  It contains a ton of calories.  Try and avoid it as much as possible.  Water is always the right answer.

I too can’t wait for your weigh-in tomorrow!  This is exciting!!!   Power through the rest of the day and evening with no more than 5 bites.  (Assuming you’ve already had lunch.)

YES!!!  You are getting this!!!  I am so excited fro you, It’sMe!!!  But you need to power through the next couple of days.  PLEASE don’t deviate from the plan.  Night time is the hardest for most people.  Think about the spectacular benefits of being thin, and find a way to eat only a bar for dinner.  Good will!!

Minimally.  It turns out that even diet soda contains carbon, but a minimal amount.  the only think you drink that is “calorie-free” is water.  Its the carbon that gives water color, taste, texture (if any), aroma, etc.  But if you burn off the water in a diet coke in a frying pan you can see the residual carbon that remains.  While it is only…[Read more]

Hi. Plans sounds good

I thought Diet Soda was ok to drink ?

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Thanks everyone. I did not go back and reread book. I just started. This is day 2. I did not realize I should be just eating bars in the beginning. I see how it’s easy to get in a few extra and bigger bites with food.</p>
I was starving last night and ate some carrots. I know that’s a no no and it probably stretch out…[Read more]

Thanks sharonmarie. I’m looking forward to weighing in tomorrow. My clothes already feel a tad looser than usual, so I know I lost more doing this than I would have on any other diet. Good luck to you on the home stretch before your trip!

Rachel keep strong and keep focused. You are doing so incredibly well. Keep drinking your tea coffee and water. Then enjoy your five bites x 2 every day. You are strong and can keep this weight dropping off you every week in big numbers. That is the best prize in the world.

Happy Thursday Rachel
