Wow, Roy. You are truly an inspiration! I may be calling you for hints/encouragement and hear about your experience. I know it’s all about F-O-C-U-S.

Fantastic job!

Roy, I was wondering if you were an actual patient of Dr. Lewis or if you just participated on this site? How long did it take you to lose those 70 lbs, and lastly, isn’t it TOTALLY AMAZING that the hunger disapates in 3 days?

Thanks Roy…I do appreciate the support…and you have done such a great job…how long were you on the diet to lose that much weight? I can’t wait to know "How Good Thin Feels"

I could write a book on this subject. They’ll get over it.

You are so funny. Just take a vitiam and be done with it.

That’s what Dr. Lewis said to me when I asked almost the same question. Your head will be swimming for about 3 days, mine was 4, I hated it. Just get thru the 3 to 4 days and you will be amazed.

I’m 48 male, 6ft and weight 236lbs. 42 inch waist.

Hi Pat. Hopefully you got something out of the chat tonight. But keep me updated on your progress so we can get you to your goal!

Today is Day 2 and was tougher then the first day for me. I had to weigh myself first thing in the AM and I was already down 5 lbs…which I am assuming is mostly water. People can be very critical of change and not eating the norm today made me realize just how much some of the people I work with are negative inflences around me about dieting and…[Read more]

Its been a few months since on the Slimming Station I have lots my focus. I let my appetite get away from me and eat and eat I loss a lot of time with eating. Get depressed. I can’t stay focus for very long. I did when I first got started.

That is 3 fun size snickers…….

Howdy again, Rfrawley!

I recommend a Centrum Multivitamin (I like the chewables) or a One-A-Day. It doesn’t really matter, but I recommend one of those two.

Good luck. It sounds like your mind is in the perfect place, and I expect you will do well on this diet!

No. But it is easy to gain from eating. Don’t let sickness give you the excuse to eat. Again, we live in an immediate-gratification society. You hurt or feel hungry, and you immediately look for a way to ‘fix’ it. Don’t! I want you to be hungry until your hungerstat resets–no excuses!

Im a little bit confused right now. I know I told everyone that I would weigh in on Monday and give you the official weigh in, but I did it earlier. And I was happy with my weight. Well yesterday I was very sick and I was throwing up all day and I weighed myself today and I had gained 3 POUNDS! Is it possible to gain weight from throwing up?

THAT IS AMAZING!!! I wish I could lose 20 pounds in a week. The highest I lost in a week was 12 …but you are amazing Greg! Keep it up

Hey Gregset! Great Job. What was your starting weight and how tall are you? Keep up the Good work. B

What an awesome inspiration your post is Greg!!!

Despite "cheating"(slightly)for all seven days of the start of the 5bd,Thursday was my weigh-in,I shocked myself by showing a twenty pound loss!! You read that right,20 lbs in a little over six days

go figure,Nobody was more cynical then me when I met the doc and heard his(by now)familiar pitch—-Damn I went in there to schedule a lapband…[Read more]

I would say increased exercise would of course help you but dont overdo yourself. The best I could do with my exercising was 600 calories in an hour (but VERY rigorous exercising) and it didnt seem to make a difference. What I would suggest is to do more toning exercises. Like get pilates or yoga tapes and do those or even just get resistance…[Read more]

I am now realizing that there are so many things that could trigger a binge for me:

Grocery stores
The smell of food
Someone talking about starting a diet in X amount of time (making me say that I’ll just start when they start)
Certain songs
Pressure
Emotions
Being in certain places
Being alone
…and the list goes on

But I’m so glad that Im…[Read more]

Hey guys!

Ok so this is a cross posting from my other forum that I post on, so it will repeat some stuff over again…sorry lol!

Its funny the things that could create "self sabotaging" thoughts in one’s mind. Well yesterday I was researching about ketosis and I stumbled upon a low carb website and I was so close to saying "forget the 5BD, let…[Read more]

Good job fending off those temptations. The trick here is to be perfect for the first few days to allow your hungerstat to reset. Once it has, EVERYTHING will make so much sense. So just do it. You are already part (most?) of the way there, right? Just 5 small bites. It sounds so simple, yet the effect is so extraordinarily powerful. Keep…[Read more]
