That’s good to know.  Thanks.

Hi there…

Thanks for the info!  I did check it out, asked to join, and was approved so I can read and post.  I hope your first day has gone well-Ann

Hi Ann! Good to have someone with similar weight loss goals! The Why Weight Around Warriors is a closed Facebook group that offers support for Dr. Lewis’ 5 bite diet. You should definitely check it out!

Hi Chelstems!  Looks like you and I are at about the same size/goals/etc, except I’m 20 years old than you.  Hey…you can do this!  You will be at your goal weight in time for Hawaii…if not sooner!  What is the  Why Weight Around Warriors FB page?  I haven’t heard of that yet, but I just joined on Monday night.  Dr. Lewis has great advice…[Read more]

I can see yours, mine and everyone else’s…

Oops.  I certainly don’t want to lose anymore weight.  I’ll have to fix that.  Can you just see your stats and mine, or can everyone see everyone else’s stats?

Yes, we did see your old stats, so it looked like you were on the program.  Thanks for updating them…now it says “you have lost 72 pounds and are at 128 pounds.  You are 35, 5’10”, with a starting weight of 200 lbs, you are on week 11, and you want to lose 20 more pounds to be at 108 pounds for your goal.  Your best weekly loss is 36 pounds”.

I’ll be honest with you guys: I don’t know what you see.  When you go to the weigh tracker, you see your stats–and mine?  Could someone please tell me.

I just revised my data to more correctly reflect my weight loss.  I did all of this some 15 years ago.  I’ve been at 128 since.

I definitely am not ready to throw out the scale yet…I want to see that wonderful skinny number over and over before I graduate to the next level.  It is just a goal of mine to get to that point someday.

I’m kind of confused by your weight tracking etc. Dr. Lewis…are you on the program or is that what you lost?

Ann.  Fine, but don’t throw out your scale.  You will need it to finely titrate your weight when you hit your magic number.  For now, just use the scale once a week.  But when you are skinny, step on it frequently until you know and can feel how weight fluctuates about your ideal number.  I can tell you what I weigh to the 0.5 pound sens…[Read more]

I love that: … Did you lose weight?

“I have no idea!”  

My take is this: Everyone–women more than men, maybe–but everyone talks and obsesses about weight, because NO ONE is at their goal weight.  EVERYONE has a single number where their body runs at it’s best.  Mine is 127.  That may go down a pound or so decades from now, but that’s my…[Read more]

Hi Pia,

In the past when I have lost weight, people have made comments, too.  So….everybody must be watching everybody for gains or losses in their weight-LOL!  It is one thing when someone says “wow-you look great, did you lose weight?” versus “are you sick?  you look like you have lost weight…”.  It really isn’t any of their business.  It i…[Read more]

Thanks, Tao!  You gave good advice, just relax and enjoy the bliss!  For me, I am looking for not only a diet but a lifestyle to maintain.  I’m tired of the scale roller coaster and just want to get to my happy weight and stay there.  One of my friends in her 80’s threw out her scale years ago and just goes according to how her clothes fit.  I li…[Read more]

TIP #1. Relax and ENJOY!
It’s only food. Take it or leave it (…Leave It).

TIP #2. GET so jazzed and focused on every little thing that brings you happiness that you are exhausted by bliss, and can’t help but fall and stay asleep. All night, every night.

Peace

Welcome, Ann!  You are definitely in the right place.  I’m going to send you some questions after I take a peek at your weight tracker: we’ll go from there.

Your difficulty sleeping is common, and we’ve all felt it to some degree, but it goes away fairly quickly!  You were SO CLOSE!  I’m going to help you hang in there this time, overcome tha…[Read more]

Thanks Tao…I’ll do that.  I tried this diet a few years ago, and had trouble sleeping due to the hunger.  I suppose my body was in some stage of Ketosis, and it just really wired me up.  I kept a diary through it, and most of the nights I didn’t sleep well, I woke up due to hunger.  So, I gave up.  I need my sleep.  Okay…now to your other…[Read more]
