Ok day 3 off slimming station and my 5 bites didn’t go as I planned as I had an unscheduled lunch with a friend, but instead of choosing a big meal and eating it I suggested a sharing board and I had 10 bites at once and chatted lots! Instead of picking and not counting, I put 10 things on my little plate and had that only! I’m concentrating on…[Read more]

The immediate results are so motivating. When I followed a national plan, the weight loss was so slow that I’d quickly drop out. If one lost more than 3-4 pounds in a week, one would receive a mild scolding. The last time I attended a meeting, I heard that fruit was deemed a “free” food, as much as you can hold! No, thank you. Keep at it, Chrissa,…[Read more]

These first few days of 5-biting are hard. It’s a big reduction in the volume of food most of us have been eating. If you have Dr. Lewis’s book, I’d suggest re-reading the parts about the “hungerstat.” It takes a bit of time to reset it, and being consistent with the volume of food we eat will help us achieve that. I’m feeling less hungry today,…[Read more]

It’s 21:12, just put the children to sleep and the day is officially coming to an end….

It’s been a really HARD day. The morning was easy because I had errands and kept myself busy with a nice walk outdoors, but i struggled with hunger all afternoon. Both physical and mental.

I wonder if that tea i’m drinking makes me hungry (It’s a…[Read more]

Yesterday was day 3 of setting my hungerstat. And even then, hunger was totally gone. Woo hoo!!

However, I struggled with strong desires to eat throughout the day. Mostly because I was feeling so tired and achy. I felt that food would relieve that feeling, but I think I was also wanting comfort from that feeling. (Old habits!)

I have no…[Read more]

Down 1.6 today; I’ll take it! Still fighting hunger. I hope after day 3, that’ll ease. Taking second bar of the day with a hot drink, so it feels more like a meal. We’re doing great! Carry on!

You’re doing great! And thank you for being a good role model!!

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

Day 4 and going strong!

Feeling thinner and determined to get back to low end of maintenance range. I have only required 1/2 bar at lunch and dinner. Lots of fluids in between. When I get hungry or start craving I think about to all the vacation indulgence. It was fabulous but that was vacation. Now, I have to own up to how I want to look and…[Read more]

Good morning Everyone!

Day 4 and going strong! Only had one bar each day since Monday. I am 100% committed to getting back to SKINNY by April 28th.

Have a good day everyone. Skinny is worth the momentary sacrifices.

Day 2: 213,6 lbs
Down 1,2
I ate my first bar for breakfast and I will have the second for a late lunch.

Checking in for day 3:
2 bars and nothing else

Great job, Gayle!!

So glad you’re here, Neil! You’re off to an amazing start!!

Day one was perfect – nice weight loss – will be reporting weight loss once a week so that I see a nice number down each time.

Will be posting pictures when I post again when I start eating.

I feel really good – had amazing energy yesterday. One day down and two to go to reset hungerstat.

Thanks for everyone’s encouragement.

Welcome again, Polly! Those acronyms are great; I think it is a great idea to find tools to help you stay focused. Keep the writing on your hand small, though, lest other people ask you about it. We want to keep this journey private until you are done, done, done. Then advertise it to the world! :woohoo:

Neil–GREAT, GREAT job! I love it. Please be true to those pictures–no bites afterwards until your next meal. But so far, so good; rather, so far, so SPECTACULAR! :woohoo:

I have always believed in challenging myself to be the best I can be but never could get there before joining Slimming Station.

Bars are my best method for reset

Today: 1/2 quest at 12:00pm. A little earlier than usual but I was up at 5am.

I am severely jet lagged and sleep deprived which is usually a red flag for overeating but NOTHING is…[Read more]

Welcome back Neil!! CBT Therapy is fantastic. The Beck Solution is a book by a CBT practioner that applies the principles to eating.

5B was the only thing that has gotten me to goal and kept me there. It is the place I come back to when I need to drop a few pounds.

Looking forward to watching your progress.

WTG Polly!!
