Activity

Hey Gayle! hope you’re able to push through that last plateau. I noticed for myself that I started to self sabotage when I was on the threshold of dropping into the 140s. I had never been there and a part of me just didn’t want to know what it was like to be on the other side of that 150 number. I don’t know what that is really but for myself, I…[Read more]

Day 1

lunch: cornbread and chili 5 bites

dinner: snickers bar

This frame of mind is so comfortably familiar, it’s nice to feel so certain about what I am doing already. No hunger pangs, energy levels good. I am expecting difficulties over the next two days with energy levels as my body switches over but I suspect that my body…[Read more]

Great, Gayle.  Keep pushing forward.  You are ALMOST THERE!  Wait no more!!  Do it now, doe it fast, and get it done!  You don’t want to be in these same shoes once the fancy Holiday parties hit.  You want to be your thinnest ever at that time.  And if you don’t do it now, it won’t get done.

Right on!  Like you Chloe, I feel the same way.  I just wish everyone recognized how other strategies simply are ineffective and waste their time.  

Right.  If at first you don’t succeed (and VERY few people do), try, try again!  Eventually you WILL get there, and life becomes truly extraordinary.

I’m so glad! We are here to ENcourage each other and remind each other that as long as we stay in the game WE ARE WINNING!

Thanks Gayle!

Your comment got me out my disappointed slump and excited to commit and get skinny.

Thanks Gayle! Yeah we are so lucky to have a place to get support. Everywhere else I look that is okay with rapid fat loss is in the ED community which is super unfortunate. I don’t want to pathologize the practice of eating less.

It’s funny, once you lose weight with 5 bite, every other approaching seems unnecessary and time consuming.

Hi Caitlinn-

First of all – give yourself credit for your initial success! Now, you have proven to yourself you CAN do it and DID do it! NOW, you will do it again today.  It really is about COMMITTING yourself 100%. I spent 2 years of up and down with 5 Bite until I finally committed 2 years ago on the slimming station with dr. lewis. Then I…[Read more]

Hi Everyone!

Well- Last Tuesday I got down to my all time low of 114.8. I felt like I was too skinny but keeping up with goal of getting to 113 to see how it felt.  THEN – I caved. My son came home Thursday and I started my pre holiday weekend indulgence. I went a bit crazy for 3 days. I completely lost focus. So unusual for me to allow that for…[Read more]

Hi Chloe-

Welcome back! I completely get it!! I STILL need accountability after 2 years in maintenance.  We need to have those slips in order to figure out what we need. Most of the time, I am in a healthy eating and lifestyle place but sometimes BOOM those old habits creep in. I love having Slimming Station and Dr. Lewis as my safety net. It’s…[Read more]

Unfortunately I gave in to temptation at a wedding this past weekend. Pretty upset with myself because I’m pretty sure any progress I had made is now gone. Waiting until tomorrow to weigh in and see. If i’m being honest with myself I didn’t really commit myself to the bars only idea for the first week but think that is what I need to do now to…[Read more]

Yep I am on it! thanks doc 

Yay.  And you will feel the benefits immediately.  The second you commit to eating nothing but five bites twice a day you may be hungry, yes, but you will instantly feel strong and powerful.  You KNOW where this program is going to take you, and it’s exciting.  Also, Chloe, after reading through the beginning of this thread I realized that you lik…[Read more]

Day 0

Hi y’all I am back again. I did a pretty terrible job with going it on my own and managed to gain back all the weight I lost.  I went from 150 back up to 170. I have fiddled with various bite schemes for the last month and a half only to fail miserably. My understanding is that it’s quite easy to lose weight and be disciplined about…[Read more]

Right.  Great.  The thing to remember is this:  You will be really hungry at lunch.  Have a cup of black coffee and lots of water.  Power through ’till dinner, then five bites.  And then the weekend!  No work pressure.  You can just relax and basque in your own misery (hunger).  The days will tick by quickly, and come Monday you should be feeling…[Read more]

Yesterday was great. Unfortunately I gave into peer pressure at work this morning and had a kolache but good news is it was only five bites so I will just skip lunch today and get my head straight for the weekend.

Great Katie!  Welcome back!

You recognize the importance of accountability to help maintain focus and your commitment.  You are in the right place!  But use this to complete your journey once and for all.

Just remember that as you get close to the finish line you start to feel really, really good, and you lose the incentive to find your magic nu…[Read more]

I love it.  Again, you are separating yourself from mediocrity.  But really, whose wants to live a mediocre life?

I haven’t got the “you’re too skinny” comment yet.  But people are starting to notice the weight drop and ask questions.  Inevitably, they ask how much I want to lose.  When I tell them another 30-40lbs, they instantly jump to “oh no!  that is too much, don’t go that far.  you will be TOO skinny!”

What??? Really?  Why do they feel so uncom…[Read more]
