You will do great, Beth! It’s good you’re thinking ahead so you can make a specific plan. Are you planning to keep 5biting while there or start enjoying maintenance eating? You could post your plan here and maybe commit to weighing as soon as you get back.

And if you have time after your trip, I would love to hear any tips you may have on how to…[Read more]

Thank you, Dr. Lewis. That perspective is very helpful!

I am excited to have completed 1.5 days of perfection. Every hour I get through makes me stronger. I must keep going! It will feel so good when I’m back in my 5b groove again!!

Welcome, Corey! Your goal is brilliant, and I’ll be excited to witness your success! :cheer:

I guess that I can make that my additional motivation.

I love that goal Corey! I can’t wait to see your pictures on the website

So would I! :laugh:

Ah … but focus on the fact that it feels SO GOOD when you are perfect. So keep trying and trying again. Overtime you do, you feel great. And eventually, the good feeling you get from being perfect overrides your enjoyment of eating extra bites of food, and you will fall into the weight-loss groove beautifully. Until then, just keep working…[Read more]

So sorry, Dr. Lewis . . . and the rest of you . . . and myself! I crashed again.

Today I’ve had (another) perfect day 1, and I’m feeling great again. But can I keep it up??

Once I have some momentum behind me, I’m so strong. But when I’m trying to get started or re-started, the smallest little temptations can do me in. I can’t let that happen…[Read more]

Thanks Beth! I have to say that it is good to be back. It has been a little freeing these last couple of days to not have to stress about food and what I’m going to eat, or how much to eat, or beat myself up for eating too much. I feel like I get to relax a bit.

Day 2 was great Dr. Lewis! Today has gone well also. I am going to have my…[Read more]

Super! How did day two go for you?

I don’t know Beth, I think it’s only when I really feel to eat, that’s when I tell myself that it’s ok, and that maybe I’m skinny already, but then when I have eaten everything I wanted I regret and get annoyed with myself because deep down I probably do want to try to see what it’s like to go lower.

This weekend our family is going on a mini getaway to a water park in Niagara Falls. I’m getting a bit nervous, because I don’t want to put on any weight while I’m away. I know I’m at my goal( I still want to go down a few more pounds), but I’ve worked so hard to get here and don’t want to mess it up.

Pia, if you feel you’re already there then chances are you’re right where you want to be

Welcome back Corey! That’s awesome that you finished day 2! You definitely can get to your goal by then – just keep plugging away at the 5 bite diet and you’ll get there

Thanks. Oh yes I am excited, but sometimes (when temptation is great) I just feel that I’m already there why not just eat, and then I end up regretting after that.

You guys are doing great.

Pia–if you still have extra that you don’t like, YES! Keep going! Your body will just live off that stored fuel until it’s gone. You need to have some reserve on the body, but you’ll know when you start to delve into your final reserve and it’s time to stop losing weight. You are so close! Aren’t you excited! :laugh:

I loved reading this, 5Bite! Thanks. It sounds like you are “all in,” and I can’t wait to watch you finish this! :laugh:

Thank you 5bitegirl!! You’re doing great too!! Here’s to another great week for all of us

Thanks 5bitegirl :laugh:

Wow, Pia! That’s definitely something to celebrate! You are both doing amazing!! :cheer:
