Brilliant!  

Right you two.  There is NOTHING like going into the holidays ALREADY SKINNY.  Already at your magic number.  There is nothing like it.  It is such a huge weight off your shoulders.  And all the food that you eat between now and then is meaningless–pointless.  You will not remember it in a week, let alone a year from now.  You might rememb…[Read more]

My name is Brenda. Thank you so so much for the support! I think I’m going to post my journey and weight each day to keep me accountable. I’ve never done anything like that before, kind of embassing that I have let myself get so out of control. I have turned to food for comfort and security and stability and have put on 40 pounds in one year. Ugh.…[Read more]

Welcome BJS!  I sent you a message, and that will get us started.  But like Laura wrote in a previous post, why not treat this diet as you would a prescription medication and follow it religiously.  Then count down the 72 hours until your hungerstat resets.  In fact, why not force yourself to have just a Snickers bar twice a day for a full wee…[Read more]

Welcome back, Laura!  I LOVE your frame of mind.  I LOVE that attitude.  Treat the diet as life-or-death prescription, and count down the hours.  Life that exact 5-bite lifestyle until you cross that amazing finish line.  We are all here with you!  

Welcome back Laura! I am resetting too. You are in good company. Love your idea to set a timer.  You are going to look so amazing on your xmas trip.

What is your first name?

My name is Gayle. YOU WILL SO ROCK THIS WEEK!!! The body of your dreams awaits you. No food tastes as good as being healthy, feeling light in your body, feeling beautiful, sexy and strong. We ALL slip. We ALL have our stops and starts but this program and group will support you. 5B gives you the tools and Dr. Lewis and…[Read more]

THANKS KATIE! I’m Doing It!! Holidays and birthday are quickly approaching and I am gearing up!!

Time to be BOLD! I was hiding but ready to get real and accountable. This is the result of two back to back vacations!! I was going to wait until Friday but was inspired by Katie’s scale pik. I have a way of playing and allowing little bites, tastes and licks to creep in.

I know that most of this is added volume and water weight (lots of salty…[Read more]

Hi Chloe: I have loved reading your journal. It’s so encouraging to me!! I know you you are going to hit your goals so easily and feel amazing

I love your determination and honesty! It’s inspiring!!

You are going to do amazing. Take it one day at a time! This group has been great for support and accountability l. I know you are going to reach your goals before you know it.

I am sorry I went quiet for a week. Time for a reset tomorrow. My numbers are still the same which is a relief since I haven’t gained but I haven’t been going in the right direction. I am taking a different mindset with reset this time: I am setting a timer for the next 72 hours to get through the hardest days and when I am discouraged I can loo…[Read more]

Right.  Stay focused and get it done.  Just do it.  I say this over and over, but it’s SO MUCH easier in the long run to just do it and get it done.  When you do cross the finish line, you will feel AMAZING!!!

Hi Chloe-

I feel like “breaking food addiction” is actually a practiced skill that we need to continue to exercise. I can be so detached from food when I get the sugar out of body (excess complex carbs) and stop the “habits” of grabbing the foods that cause me to become mindless and repeating the same behaviors that keep me obsessed with food. I…[Read more]

Fantastic Katie! I think I need to do this until I get back to 113-114

Day 3

Breakfast: toast with almond butter, 5 bites

Lunch: Miso ramen soup 5 bites plus the broth

Lots of temptations at work but no slip ups. I seem to be doing pretty okay energy-wise. Looking forward to my numbers tomorrow. I see myself finally dropping into the mindset where I realize that food is not going to solve any of the…[Read more]

Well stated Dr. L! Today is the most important day. That’s where all the focus needs to be!!

Brilliant.  You are on track, Gayle.  Today–more than any other day that you’ve been doing this–is the one that you need to put all your effort into.  TODAY is the most important day of your journey.  You MUST find a way to stick to just 5 bites tonight, and get to bed.  When you wake tomorrow the sun will shine brighter than it has in a very…[Read more]
