Thank you so much!!

I posted my starting pic of the day I rejoined slimming station (pending moderator approval), and I am so glad that most days I forget how far off I had gotten.  And I had already lost about 30 pounds before that.  Congrats on making so much progress and especially on forgetting your top weight!!!!  That is a great thing haha.  But als…[Read more]

So great to see!!! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you Allison! And thank you Dr. Lewis and Alska Gal for the shout-out in the video chat!

Somehow, with all of my mishaps along the way, I’m here now maintaining. It must be the one foot in front of the other, and coming back to the five bites again and again. And a snickers is a powerful slimming tool.

Actually, my weight is still going…[Read more]

Jane, thank you for your inspiring post. Congratulations on Maintenance.

Great job Allison!

🙌

Maybe.  I’m not sure.  I’ll ask.

Dr Lewis – can your tech guy fix her starting weight?

Hi Adenike!

You are finding out what works for you and what doesn’t. That’s good!

In social situations, you can ask for a box and take the rest of the food home, to the delight of other people.

If you take smaller bites, you will be most likely feel smaller hunger.

Eating more stimulates hunger more, in my experience.

One foot in front of the…[Read more]

I lost 9 pounds last week. Which is great but, I wanted to do better. I did get some more advice on the amount I’m eating and I realized my bites are not small enough. So I will try again this week with smaller bites. Also on the Saturdays I eat good food with people so I feel more pressure to eat not just because people are watching ( because I t…[Read more]

Hi there everyone!

For my second meal I had an encore of my first, this time with a dollop of red relish instead of ketchup.

I appreciated the meal!

All the best until next time.

Hi everyone!

Day 4 of maintenance, and my weight has dropped again, so I’m affording myself 6 bites per meal today.

I’m wondering if I should also add in a third meal? What do you think Dr. Lewis?

My weight was 50.6 kg / 111.6 lbs / 16.9 bmi this morning.

I’m feeling good and strong! I took a walk to the store and bought more food. My ease…[Read more]

How is it going JulieNom?

Eating out is wonderful! I also like take-away. It’s feels good to have someone else prepare food for me for a change. And I like watching Food Wishes with Chef John on youtube. He’s great!

How interesting that your doctor didn’t understand about cruise and eating less, and seemed afraid for his health just from talking to you. It’s not for…[Read more]

I ate less on my cruise than at home! I ate more healthy things as well! I was too busy to eat. I never thought of staying in my cabin snacking! I lost 8 pounds. Shortly after, I had my check in with my doctor. I was excited to tell him all about this, but he did not understand. He looked very alarmed and brought out a huge jug of hand sanitizer,…[Read more]

ps. I looked up the barefoot contessa – I’ll have a watch!

Hi JulieNom!

A cruise sounds lovely! It would be an excercise in portion control to attend a cruise buffet.

I’m looking forward to seeing where this journey will take me, food and other things. I’m interested again now in going shopping for a particular sausage tomorrow. I’ll do it if I still want to tomorrow. I can have the sausage.

This is so cool! You are the Barefoot Contessa (I used to love watching her show) of 5 bite!

I used to have hoarding of other things. I used to hoard all manner of cosmetic products (while eating a bad diet). I just love them. I had a problem with buying too many. I did some No Buys where I couldn’t buy anything new until I used the old. It…[Read more]
