Hi 5bitegirl! Thanks for the welcome!

I hope I reach my goal quickly. Dr Lewis suggested 130 for me and that makes me nervous as I haven’t weighed that little since I was 23 or younger. That’s 50lbs from now! I wonder how quickly I can get there? Now I am dreaming for sure…I will plan out a timeline in my calendar because I am just that…[Read more]

Hi Michelle!! Waving back!! You are sooo close. I say… be on the chat IF you want to be on the chat. If you don’t , that’s ok but it’s important that it is YOUR decision. It’s important to be bold and unapologetic with your goals in life. His concern is sweet but truly off point. If you have excessive weight on your body, this plan is safe. You…[Read more]

Hi Sherry! I figured out your name (silly me).
It helps to read previous posts. haha

I am pretty sure I had asthma when I was a kid but it only popped up when I exercised and goodness knows I didn’t do much of that though I was an active kid just not chronic exercise. I was a sprinter and swimmer. After swimming for a while I would try to take a…[Read more]

Hi Gayle! I know you from Facebook! *wave* Thank you so much for the warm welcome. I am so excited to get back on track. I lost my way a little bit when my mother passed away in Oct and though I have still eaten low carb I still managed to eat too much and put on almost 10lbs. I even did well during the holidays. Sometimes I get in a mode and…[Read more]

TODAY IS A NEW DAY 5 Bite Girl!! Yesterday was HISTORY!!

I can’t even count the number of times I slipped and felt like a failure. THEN…I said ENOUGH!! I joined Slimming Station and said that I would do WHATEVER IT TAKES to lose weight. I was on EVERY chat, posted throughout the day (stayed connected) and practiced saying NO to food. I cleaned…[Read more]

Tammy (TSang) is the BEST!!! Together, Tammy and I are determined to SING the praises of 5 Bites from Texas to NY and beyond!!!

Whether it is about losing or maintaining weight, 5 B and Dr. Lewis’s clear and precise, medically supported explanation are what has given us WEIGHT FREEDOM!!!

My own obsession dates back to childhood. I went on my first “diet,” the Stillman high protein plan, at age 14 when I weighed a whopping 112 pounds. The diet allowed…[Read more]

Good morning Everyone! So excited to read your stories!! Yes I am a big fan of Dr. Lewis and 5 Bite. I am not on payroll. He has just gotten me to a place that I have NEVER been able to get to with any other diet. My weight, has been a negative obsession for most of my adult life. The sense of freedom and empowerment I have is something I wish I…[Read more]

Thank you 5B girl! And, Michelle, we’ve a bit in common. I’ve had chronic, moderate asthma for over 30 years, but it has much improved in the past couple of years. I, too, find that weight loss only occurs with faithful five-biting using low-carb foods or bars, and I feel great eating that way.

I’ve decided that tomorrow, Tuesday, I’ll begin a…[Read more]

Welcome, Michelle and Sherry!

It sounds like you both know what you’re doing and will reach your goals very quickly!!

Gayle, I love all your encouragement!

Tsang,

Your weight loss story is amazing!! I’m so glad you’re here!

I’m so sad to say that I never made it through day 2 (probably obvious by now!) and never got back on track for the rest of the week. Extremely frustrated with myself!!

And strangely enough, after my pep talks against hunger, good food, and social pressure, none of those things led to my downfall. It was a simple lack of focus and motivation!!…[Read more]

Awesome!!!

Hello! I’m Michelle! I’ve been on 5 bite before last year and lost about 45 lbs and I’ve stopped short of my goal thinking maybe I was there. Well…we all know how that can change! I’ve also regained about 8-10 lbs and I need to refocus and get this done. I’m not really sure what my weight goal is anymore (I exercise a lot and honestly I have my…[Read more]

I’m feeling it, too! Saw a quote today, “Dream big…start small.” A small amount of food, that is. My trainer would have me eating six times per day, which would surely cause me to gain six pounds per week. Hunger diminishes when we eat “small,” as we do when 5-biting. The 5B diet also incorporates a nice, long fast, helpful to me in weight loss.…[Read more]

Hi Sherry-

It STARTS with a DREAM and I say… “DREAM BIG”! I had dreams too and Dr. Lewis challenged me to push even further.

I have a tiny waist – before vacation. I have NEVER had small hips until I got close to BMI. I thought I just had BIG hips.

The BAR challenges are great because there is NO guesswork and you get that hungerstat reset…[Read more]

My name is Sherry! Thank you for your kind words of encouragement, Gayle. I’m going to spend the next few days acclimating myself to five bites using “real” food, and then I’d like to try a bar challenge. I have done this…the hunger just fades away. It was the weird head/chest feelings that did me in. Looking forward to seeing my 24″ waist…[Read more]

It sounds like you’re so ready to take the next step. You won’t believe the difference in your body when you get close to your BMI. I used to be a gym rat and the results w 5 Bite are so much more dramatic. What is your first name? I will be cheering you on the entire way!!

Congrats to your renewed commitment in yourself.

Gayle

That is a great explanation!!

I will reset first 2 days w quest and then transition to the fun sized snickers!!

Hello, all! I have newly rejoined, after several attempts at 5Bing. In fact, Gayle, I was lurking about last fall when you completed your fantastic journey into the teens! I’ve been put off the plan in the past by disturbing sensations of lightheadedness and extreme fatigue, which, while Dr. Lewis says are to be expected, are a bit unnerving. For…[Read more]
