Hey Gayle, have you reached 113?

Are you still going strong Katie? I  miss your updates

Yes

Correct, Pia.  Commit to the finish line, then stay consistent.  If it takes two week, so be it.  But stay consistent hour in, hour out, day in, day out.

Such a great post Gayle, I did not get through the weekend successfully last week and today I am already fantasizing about the food I would love to eat, but I really have to stay focused, because otherwise I will as you said just keep maintaining this higher weight and that is not really what I want, but sometimes I get so confused about what I…[Read more]

Right.  You can always have that (whatever that is) some other time.  

Not much going on here at the forum this week, but great chat with Gayle and dr Lewis. I have had a really great day, it has been so easy so far no tiredness/dizzyness or headache, lunch time I had a snickers and dinner I am having another bar,I have made pizza for the family and I was contemplating having 5 bites of that but I am afraid that will…[Read more]

Me and my wife saw dr Lewis on a talk show in 2008 I was  285 lbs I started the diet the next day because my wife told me I wouldn’t last a day on that diet I dropped 100 lbs fast and I’ve stayed under 200 for the most part for almost ten years now at one point I got to 150 and felt great right now I’m 175 on my way to 145 to stay under 150 stay f…[Read more]

Great, Katie!  Keep it going!  You are almost there!  

Right!  

Just checking in because I am absolutely starving, I did really well today 5 bites of bread and cheese for lunch and 5 bites of chocolate and crisps for dinner. My husband is currently eating cake and drinking tea, and I am not feeling tempted because I am enjoying feeling the fat melting of my body 

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Thanks Dr L. Great tips!!love the idea of a  game. Competition helps and sets you in a different mindset</p>

Thanks Gayle, don’t be sorry for the pain it taught me a lesson, reminded me that I can’t eat so much back to 5 biting 

Great work!  (I’m jumping up and down and screaming on the side lines.  Can you here me?)  Keep it going!!   

Right.  Here we are all friends running the same race with the same playbook in hand.  And as each person crosses the finish line, it’s feels like we scored another one for the team.  Go Five-Biters!!  

Libby–I am SO EXCITED for you!  You are EXACTLY RIGHT ON!  When you 5-bite correctly, as you are, it is remarkably liberating.  You can eat absolutely anything, and five bites of what you are craving is often much more filling than 100 bites of something you’re not really craving.  I cannot wait to see where the loss of the next block of wei…[Read more]

Hi LM —

When you are in social situations, imagine that you are playing a game.  It’s a challenge–a very difficult game–but have fun playing it and set out to win it.  Your game is to get through the entire night, as hard as it might be, on 5 bites of regular food.  Go in with that mindset and prove to yourself that you do indeed have the ex…[Read more]
