Activity

Me too Marie! I had some slips over vacation where I had bites 6,7 and 8!  Usually when there was booze involved.  And then the booze itself was a no-no and added to the weight gain.

And now I am up 2 pounds in one week, I sooo regret it.

This is my #1 Focus!! Losing these 35 pounds is what I want more than anything ‘

Right.  Don’t stress, Marie–just go with it.  If you’re not eating, you’re not pooping, and that”s a GREAT thing!  But I’d be super aware of liquids that contain carbon.  Liquids other that water and black coffee won’t supply material for a bowel movement, but will absolutely fill up your fat stores (or keep you from losing).  

Indeed: WELCOME!!!  You are right on track.  And it gets even easier; simply don’t change a thing until that extraordinary day when you cross the finish line!  I can’t wait!!!  

I love that quote. That is exactly where I am right now

Welcome Becky. I joined recently as well. It sounds like you’re doing great.

That’s good to hear Susan. I think I’m just going to keep on keeping on and stay of the scale until next Wednesday. I think I’m stressing too much

“You have to want to finish THIS more than anything!”- Dr. Lewis

He also said not to have fiber, I don’t remember why though. 

I found his reply (below) to when I asked if I should take a laxative:

Welcome to our 5 Bite Community! and congrats on your loss. You are off to a great start! 

I’m drinking over 80 ozs of water daily and drinking more coffee than I ever had in the past. I was also eating 5 bites of Persian stew, which is veggies with kidney beans twice a day. All healthy and natural, homemade. No processed food and very little protein other than what was in the stew.

I only switched things because I had completely s…[Read more]

Congrats, Amy!!

And congrats on the five pounds!!

Hi Becky!  Welcome!!  I noticed that you and I are similar in size and have the same goal weight.  May we both kick butt and meet these weight goals!  (and everyone else too!)  

I would think because you’re eating so little you would naturally go less. I think adding some fiber into your bites and going for less meat or processed foods. Foods like pears, berries, prunes, beans, nuts, and oatmeal. You could have a vegetarian chili. Definitely add some coffee with that and make sure you’re drinking enough water. Hope that helps!

Wow 23 pounds! Way to go!

Congratulations Amy , fantastic start to your journey. You are doing so well. Just keep doing what you are doing , it is working xx

Yes sir! Today’s been another good day Dr! See you at the finish line 

YES, YES, YES!!!  You HAVE found the gear.  Now that you’ve found it, don’t let it go!  It WILL take you to the finish line–FAST!!!
