It’s sounds great. Of those Starbucks Egg Bites, how many do you get? How many pieces of sushi do you eat?

I figured I’d make a weekly thread instead of cluttering up the forum!

W2D1: 5 Bites of Starbucks Egg Bites for lunch, 5 Bites sushi for supper. Black coffee, water, green tea, and a diet Vanilla coke

Exactly right, Debra! Even though it’s “only” 6 pounds, you are already deriving some of the wonderful benefits of being thin. Enjoy the journey–every day is a little better ion some way than the previous day. This is exciting!!

Seven full days of five bite! Hasn’t been perfect, it’s been a crazy hormone ride, but my energy is up, my blood pressure and blood glucose is down and six pounds of toxic fat is gone! Here’s to Week 2!

End of Week 1

Today is my 7th day of 5 Bite. I’ve kept it to 2 bars, water, and black coffee today. Hoping for a good number tomorrow, even with my hormonal weight flux. 🤞

Due to start my cycle tomorrow… my first weigh official day. I snuck on the scale this morning and saw I was up a pound from the last time I weighed. Part of me wants to say screw it, this is too hard, especially when I was so good yesterday (one bar and a little less than half a sandwich and two mini coke zeros). Some days, being a woman s…[Read more]

Great job!! Feels good to be so strong, doesn’t it?!

Got it. Some studies have show that PATIENTS do better in warmer ICU climates, but I didn’t know what the policy was at your hospital.

Hi Samantha! It’s been intersection watching the Jubilee celebrations from the other side of the pond… but what a treat for you! I’ve enjoyed reading your posts. Stay the course! I just finished Day 5.

Debra Rogers started the topic Day 5 in the forum The Slimming Station Diet 3 years, 7 months ago

I won’t lie… today was tough. I’m PMS’ing, grouchy, bloated, and just not in the best mind frame. But I stuck to it! A Coke Zero at lunch helped with my sweet tooth and I took two long walks, the last one on the beach this evening. I’m back on the COVID unit tomorrow, which is always a challenging shift, but being busy should help keep my cr…[Read more]

Hi Dr Lewis – every room can adjust their own AC, so some like it warmer, some like it colder. It’s the PPE and fitted N95s that make it so hot. After a 16 hour shift, I feel like I’ve been baked in the oven a hundred times!

drlewis replied to the topic 30lbs count down! in the forum The Slimming Station Diet 3 years, 7 months ago

Brilliant!!

drlewis replied to the topic Day 4 in the forum The Slimming Station Diet 3 years, 7 months ago

Hi Debra. I’m curious: you mentioned that it’s hot. Do they keep the COVID unit warm at your hospital? Do you know the degrees?

Debra Rogers started the topic Day 4 in the forum The Slimming Station Diet 3 years, 7 months ago

Energy levels are defined down today. But I’m thrilled that my 5 Bite lunch filled me up and I wasn’t hungry at all. Praying for some extra stamina to get me through the last half of my nursing shift! I’m working the COVID unit today and it’s just hot and exhausting.
