Congratulations, Lynda!   10 lbs. in one week is fabulous!   Have a wonderful New Year’s Day.

So I weighed in at 89.3 kg or 197 pounds.

Was a bit naughty last night and had a bottle of sparkling shariz. Nye. And 5 extra bites, but back on the horse today.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>I am sure you could do that.  I didn’t stay on track for the whole time, so it is hard to say.  I would estimate I stayed on plan 1/4 of the year to lose the -75.

Congratulations, Allison!  That is absolutely amazing.  If it’s ok to ask, how long did it take to lose the last 75 lbs (slimming station portion)?  I was hoping to lose 85 lbs in the next 4 or 5 months, but I don’t know if that is a realistic goal.  I hope it came off quickly for you.

Congratulations on the weight loss, Lynda!   I agree with you.   I also appreciate the freedom in this diet.   However, like you, I have also always struggled with large bite size when I have done the 5-bite.   I almost feel like I’m cheating because I am not counting bites at this point.  I am just eating my two bars and that’s it.  We will see…[Read more]

I have lost 6 pounds. But my weigh in day is Monday. So I’ll see where I’m at then. I struggle a bit with bit size. I know my amounts are between 2 -3 oz or 50-70 gm. I’ve weaned myself off milk in the coffee. What’s interesting about this diet is one of the Dr. guru’s in Australia, Dr Michael Mosley started advocating 5:2 diet of intermediate…[Read more]

Allison…So true!   Unfortunately, with this diet, I have had a tendency to struggle with bite size.  Technically, I lost 35 lbs in 2019 with 3 bites per meal.  My bite size was massive, and I had a lot of difficulty controlling it, so I ended up going down to 3 bites.   Due to these struggles, I am very nervous about transitioning from bars back…[Read more]

Thanks.

Great start!  What are calories? Haha – just 5 bites x two!  Don’t count calories or you will be tempted to allow yourself more bites!!  The mentality is better if you just count 5 bites.  That is from my own experience. If you count, you are likely to say I only had 380 calories so I can have 120 more calories… and then you eat more just to eat…[Read more]

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Great!  I am entering the second half of my journey!! 100 more to go!!</p>

Thank you, Lynda!  That is so wonderful that we started on the same day (Dec 26th).  If you are ever struggling, think of me and remember you are not alone because we are at the exact same point.  And likewise, I will do the same.  And I agree 100%….Let’s get this weight off as fast as we can!

This diet is so incredibly effective.  I have had…[Read more]

Hi Maria,

I’m in the same position as you. I’m just sick of carrying this extra weight around and deeply disappointed about the diets that don’t work.. And after xmas I started Boxing day 26th. It worked for me before I lost about 30 pounds in 2019 and kept it off for sometime as my hungerstat was definitely set lower. But being 48, and having an…[Read more]

Well done Allison. That’s great. Giving me inspiration to put my foot down.

cheers

Hi Tiffany. I’m a re-bounder. Was here in 2019. I lost 12 kg or 24 pounds in 4 weeks. Kept if off for a long time but in the last year, my weight has crept up with too much “healthy eating”. Just basically eating too much. This is the only diet that has worked for me. I feel unsatisfied and deprived if I follow healthy food, low carb etc. This…[Read more]

Thank you, Allison!   I considered waiting until after New Year’s, but I am so tired of this battle.  Since January 2023, I tried 3 different diets, hired 2 personal trainers, joined a health club, worked very hard on my health…..and I only lost 20 lbs.   I finally understand what Dr. Lewis always says…..just get it done as fast as you can.…[Read more]

Woohoo!!!  Starting today shows you in the right mindset!!  Cheering you on!!!
