You’re doing great, Gayle, and you definitely are a wonderful role model!!

But please know that I would not expect you to go below your target weight just to finish out the challenge. If you lose faster than you expected and reach your goal early, then that is something to celebrate by moving into maintenance mode!! And I suspect that anyone…[Read more]

I love checking in on you two and seeing how amazing you’re doing!!

I started on a bar challenge just 2 days before you, so I’m right here with you, taking it day by day and celebrating the decreased hunger.

Please keep sharing your success! :cheer:

YES, Smaro! That’s it! The hunger is becoming mild and manageable! That’s it! You’ve got this! Now the question is: can you just hang on for the weeks required to reach your goal? ABSOLUTELY! It is SO WORTH IT! :woohoo:

Good work, Polly, on find a better sense of control. BUT, let me ask you: what were the 10 bites? Did you have 10 different flavors? Do you remember all the flavors even today? Could you have gotten by with just 1 ice of each item of food?

Yes, Dr Lewis, I had 10 different bites as it was a sharing plate of various fish,…[Read more]

Quest bars are a bit pricey, around $25 for 12, but I like the fact that they contain more protein and fiber, and fewer grams of carbohydrate. I just saw Kind bars at the grocery on sale, $10 for 10, but I think I have enough bars on hand. I don’t do well with candy bars; I think they make me hungrier. There are many types of “food” bars available…[Read more]

You guys have a lot of choices for bars. We have many types of candy bars and cereal bars (special k type) but protein bars can be found only in bodybuilding stores and some drugstores and they are quite expensive.
I have never seen a quest bar over here. Maybe i will order some online.

Another perfect day.
It’s getting easier.
Sure, I had thoughts about food today, but in a calm, non -threatening for my diet way.
I did some housework, cleaned the balconies. I have a lot more to do tomorrow so I will be busy again. The good thing is, all the energy for housecleaning will come from fat deposits

SocialCher, we’ve got this!!!!

Woo-hoo! And so we do! Today is my fifth day, and hunger is nearly nonexistent. I would not have dreamed that could happen, even though I’ve heard from Dr. Lewis, and others, that it does! It’s as if the hungerstat says, “What, no copious amounts of food forthcoming? Well, then, I’ll see myself…[Read more]

As of now, April 22, 2017, this thread … “DrCollins’ Food Photos” … consists of more than 40 pages showing the various foods that I personally, have eaten while on the 5-bite diet. If you are interested in studying these photos, I recommend starting at page 1 and continuing on through the thread.…[Read more]

My Current Plan is:
3 meals of 5 bites each, resulting in the volume of each meal totaling about ¼ cup

Yay Crissa!

I feel like every time I say “NO” to that gnawing pull for one extra bite, I get STRONGER!! I become more resolved to do WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET MY SKINNY!! When I say SKINNY – it means so much more than a number or a size – it’s about achieving optimum health. That optimum health is physical, mental and emotional. I am ensuring the…[Read more]

Keep rocking it Polly! Every day we get stronger. Every day we solidify what we need to get and stay at goal. So thrilling to see your energy and focus.

GO POLLY GO!!!

BRING ON THE WEEKEND!!

There is security in knowing that I will ONLY have bars. No guesswork. No mental games.

Day 6 of 1 bar a day – moving back to skinny zone. Already feel close. I have 7 more days to go.

Goal is to be back to 116 but maybe I’ll even be lower. I will do 1 bar a day unless I feel I need the extra 1/2 or whole. I will not…[Read more]

Thanks Dr. Lewis!

Goal is to be back to 116 but maybe I’ll even be lower. I will do 1 bar a day unless I feel I need the extra 1/2 or whole. I will not cheat!!

I feel quite strongly that I need to stay focused to stay true to my promise to myself…[Read more]

You are in control!

Well done, 5bitegirl! I admire you for being able to do this-just 1 bar, wow!!! :woohoo:
You don’t have much to lose, I believe you will be thin very very soon!!!!

Hello everyone!

Day 4: 211,2 lbs (96 kilos)
1,6 lbs down since yesterday ( 3,6 lbs total in 3 days)

I feel quite happy. Last time I was 96 kilos was 2 years ago.

Just had my Snickers bar with my supplements (cod liver oil, vit D3, vit k complex- I take these mostly for dental health)

I am going to enjoy my coffee with sweeteners

Super!

Thank you, Dr. Lewis!!

Just finished a perfect 2-bar day 5.

Pushing onward!

Really solid, Crissa! You are WINNING this fight. Every day that you continue to say “NO!” to that extra bar, you not only get closer to the finish line, but you turn your hungerstat down. This is brilliant. Don’t let off the gas pedal! You’ve got this. Take it meal by meal, day by day, and before long you will be on high-speed cruise…[Read more]
