Good idea–switch your bars around. Let’s see how that goes!

Great. But also remember this: Thanksgiving is a free day, but every bite you bank leading up to Thanksgiving is another bite you have on that day. At least that is another way to think of it. Also, no matter how hungry you are Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, it’ll all be worth it on Thursday. So find a way!

Thanks Dr. Lewis! Each day is just a little bit easier than the last. However today, I am not hungry, but I find myself craving food other than the snickers bar. I may mix it up and try a different meal/candy bar to see if that makes the cravings stop.

Weight loss slowed a little today. Hoping it picks back up tomorrow! Need perfect…[Read more]

Hi Dr Lewis!

I may go down a weight class for my meets in 2018.

The nice thing is that I know I have control over what I want to weigh. That is the greatest lesson you’ve taught me.

If I didn’t lose my initial weight with you, I never would have been able to do a pull up. Doing pull ups gave me the confidence to learn power lifting.

Sometimes…[Read more]

Great job! AND, knowing that you can eat freely just a week away, I think you can stick to the Snickers. I’m thrilled that you found today easier than yesterday; tomorrow will be even better! Great job! :woohoo:

Not a perfect day yesterday. Almost made it through without extra bites. But I caved, and took 2 extra bites of a bar yesterday. So 12 bites total.

Today is a new day, and it will be perfect. I did not wake up hungry like yesterday, so I think that is a good sign. I want to be at 153 by Thanksgiving if possible. So only perfect days from…[Read more]

I forgot to get my weight today. I will check tomorrow. Had my 5BD lunch and dinner yesterday – snickers only.

Today I woke up so hungry though, and light headed! :S
I ate my 5BD snickers lunch around 10am. Need to get through this day with only one more snickers. I can do this!!!

Hi WalkerLori! Welcome back!

I don’t know how much lighter I’d like you … it depends on the amount of fat around your stomach. You MUST have a lot of muscle on your body, so in theory your stomach could be really flat. BUT …. if it is not …. then I DO want you to lose weight until it is gone.

Great job, though, in maintaining your…[Read more]

Hi Pia,

I’ve been doing this power lifting stuff for about a year.

I like to maintain about 125 lbs. I feel strong at that weight and keeps me in my division weight class.

I need to lose about 3 lbs to get back to 125. I’m doing Meal 1 with a bar. Meal 2 will be 5 bites of dinner. That seems to work the best for me.

I’m cheering you on!

Well done, you’re on a roll, I have had 4 perfect days, but tonight I caved, annoyed with myself but I just have to start again looks like I will never be able to be perfect for more than a few days at a time, but guess I just have to keep practicing.

Thanks! Yesterday went well. Aiming for another perfect day.

Hi Walkerlori.
Good to have you back, I admire that you can do heavy lifting like that :cheer: , I’m impressed. When did you start and how much have you got too loose? How are you doing with the 5b are you doing bars?
Let’s cheer each other on :lol:

Ready to get this weight off! I want to be skinny, more than my interest in food. Happy to be back on 5BD after a few months away. I thought I could get the weight off following some different diet plans. Obviously that didn’t work. LOL

Ate bars only today, and feeling great! Aiming for a perfect week.

Thank you Pia. Has been a good day as far as food goes and stress and problematic situations arose but didn’t succumb to the food. Kept on the track and distracted myself with some yoga and finishing my chores
Feel great now tonight reflecting back on the day. Learning from past experience no extra food is worth it. How are you today Pia ?

Great pep talk Sharon, you may have been talking to yourself, but I feel as if you are talking to me. Let’s be perfect now

Talking to myself here. No more over eating buttercup , you are sabotaging your health and creating disease in your body. Come on this is ridiculous. You WILL adhere to an organized perfect day tomorrow Sunday 12 November and get back on the track , tie those laces up tight and get on your way.
No more excuses in this club. Are you in ?????

Yes…[Read more]

Hi Sharon
Great, let’s help each other do this :lol:
I had a bit of slip up yesterday too, but I like the way you put it we have to create a habit, not too overeat, I will remember that!

Hi Pia so happy that you are here. Make it a wonderfulmperfect day. Little off track this week not massively but not five bites. So Thursday today I am drinking lots more water today. Have to stay very focused now. It is only me sabstsging myself. Why do I do it ?? I think it is habit
I have to create a habit which is a normal behavior for me and…[Read more]

Hi Debra
Great to hear I’m not the only one here, it’s really nice to be able to support each other.
Sorry to hear you caved yesterday, I did too, but I don’t think I am strong yet like you, I always cave but good thing is that with this diet we can always pull it back, and as Dr Lewis said to me every time we cave we get to experience that it…[Read more]
