Amy, I like what you said about dismissing thoughts about extra bites right away. As Dr. Lewis always says this is all about your mind set. Anyone can do this if they have the strength in their mind. You and Marie clearly have it!!
Marie, I love looking at pics of when I was thinner for motivation. I have one as my wallpaper on my phone. I look at…[Read more]

So, net loss was 4 pounds for the week. Not sure why I didn’t exceed my personal best in weight loss because I certainly exceeded my personal best in bites! ( or lack there of!) I am a bit disappointed that I will not be hitting my short term goal of being under 150 by tomorrow as I leave for my vacation. 

But, Always looking for the po…[Read more]

I am leaving for vacation tomorrow and will be eating at restaurants quite a bit over the next week. I am going to post some quotes over the next few days to remind us of the importance of staying perfect and how to do it! We can do what no one else can!! We can stop at 5 bites!!

“When you go out for a meal I want you to be a little bit t…[Read more]

Ata girl Marie  I don’t expect to feel satisfied after 5 bites.  It just sort of quiets my stomach for a moment. Then I move on to other things and turn my focus away from food altogether.  The trick for me is to not entertain any sort of thought of going over the 5 bites.  If I have that thought and don’t dismiss it right away then the lon…[Read more]

I finished my dinner bar and didn’t feel satisfied. I was contemplating whether or not to have a small bite or two of something when my daughter cane in with her old laptop. She found an old video she had uploaded about 6 yrs ago. I was soooo skinny! I never realized how skinny I was.

That put all thoughts of eating anything out of my head. I…[Read more]

Wow Susan that’s awesome!  Way to go above and beyond I’m looking forward to seeing those numbers too!  You may have just inspired me to skip my 2nd meal on Saturday which will be the night before my week 2 weigh in.. Maybe it will boost my numbers some too.  Way to go Susan🎉😊

Thank you Cassandra! I’m sorry I’m just seeing this or I would’ve responded earlier. Work has been crazy busy but the weight is coming off!!! Yay!!!

I love that Susan. Knowing, without any doubt you were perfect, you did what was necessary to get to where you want to be is the best feeling!

I can’t wait for your weigh in

You are both doing great!! 

I love this quote on the eve of my weigh-in day. I literally could not have done better this week. I was “beyond perfect” as Dr. Lewis calls it. 5 out of the 7 days I only had 1 bar. The other two days I had 1 bar for lunch and 4 bites of regular food for dinner. I drank only black coffee and regular water  in minimal amounts. So, although I’m…[Read more]

Great plan Amy.

I had almond snickers for lunch and will have 100Grand for dinner

one meal, one day at a time

Yay!!  Had my snickers for lunch and will do a payday for dinner. I’ll stick with doing the bars for at least the next few days with ya.  And if it shows that I lose more weight when doing the bars only than I may do it for longer. The chats really do help to motivate for me too!  Maybe you will even reach 20lb loss before Apr 16!?!?!  So exc…[Read more]

I ended up eating 2 bites of a bar for dinner for a total of 12 bites yesterday. I’m down 3lbs from yesterday morning.

I threw out my creamer so it’s black coffee from now on. Plan today is a bar for lunch at 12 and second bar for dinner at 5 and lots of water and keeping busy.

I woke up very hungry today.  I know the next 2 days will be the…[Read more]

Wow that must be so disappointing. But you did lose 1lb.

I know if I don’t drink enough water I retain a ton of water. Maybe it’s water retention?

Wish I could offer advice but I have no idea

But it will come off. You’ve been doing amazing, Remember how far you’ve come

(Continued from above) ^^

I realized I didn’t post the rest of diary . This is from where I left off late yesterday, not sure if you read that post ( before Marie’s post)

At 1:00 pm before eating / drinking anything all day I weighed 157.0

After eating 1 snickers, 8 Oz coffee, and 8 Oz water I weighed 158.0

I did not eat or drink anything else…[Read more]

Good morning DrLewis!!

Not sure if you saw my post late yesterday, after my experiment. As I said in that detailed post late yesterday, I only had 1 bar, 8 Oz coffee, and 8 Oz water all day yesterday.

I had barely lost anything overnight the night before. Even though I was breathing!

I had absolutely nothing ingested until 1 pm. Up until that…[Read more]

I’m sure they do suppress your appetite.  Just don’t exceed 5-bites worth, and that IS your meal.

I have started watching some of the chats and some other YouTube 5 bite videos.

They all help to keep me busy and determined to get this weight off as fast as possible.

After watching the chats and videos I realized I’m not supposed to use cream in my coffee which is what I’ve been doing. So that stops now.

Starting tomorrow, black coffee, wat…[Read more]

I probably will be skipping the next meal. It’s after 4 already and I had planned to do a bar between 5-6.

I’ll take a long hot bath enjoy a cup of tea and watch some of the chats until bed, which will be early. I’m feeling extremely tired today. Only 3-4 hours of sleep last night

Amy yes let’s do this. I think bars will make it so much easier

I wonder if our body gets to a certain point and holds on to water weight then after a day or two you get a big loss.

It is weird that you weighed more but only had 16ozs fluid and 1 bar.  But we are stronger than our bodies. Push though the drop will come
