Activity

Fair enough.  Life always gets in the way.  But, pick yourself up and start again on your journey to exceptional living!

Thanks!  I am finding day 4 and now 5 so hard.  I was off work today, but decided to take a long nap just to get through the hunger! Really hoping this gets better.  Down -10 pounds so that’s the good part! I will post the weigh-in officially on Monday.

So excited for you Allison! It is so worth it no food is worth disturbing this groove you’re in.

Great.  By the time you read this it will be a new day.  So how is this new day going for you?

T?hat’s exciting news!

Well done Karly! I’m celebrating your win with you.  I agree, 5BD is all about dialing it in.   Now we just have to rinse and repeat!

Awesome Allison!  Love the mindset!

Thank you!  Today is day 3.  I am still finding mornings to be my hungriest time.   The scale is my best friend today!!  It has gone down both days. Today I saw a number I have not seen since 2021!!

That’s a great reminder!  I am also telling myself to pretend like I had the surgery (but so much better because the mild discomfort is I imagine so much easier than recovering from surgery or their lifelong restrictions like no carbonation), which helps me get through the hunger and patience.  My scale looked amazing this morning.  I saw a new…[Read more]

I’m totally focused and resolved. I’m done being robbed of vitality via excess food. Not worth it.

I think of each of you every day, and when I’m feeling the discomfort of holding myself back from freely eating, I remember I’m not doing this alone.

I’m thankful for this  little support team.  It helps! Glad you are all here.

Thanks for the e…[Read more]

Let’s do it Karly! I’m with ya!!

You are getting there! You will still lose with a bit more than 5 bites but the real magic happens when you become a 5 bite machine. Tell your brain – 5 bites and you’re done. You will see a big difference. Drink when you get the urge to eat. I will tell myself – do you want to lose 1 pound a week or 3-4 pounds/week. Also – when I let food slip…[Read more]

Great job Allison! I love your strategy of thinking that you had Gastric Bypass. Sometimes I will tell my brain – 5 Bite is easy once I get reset – I could be on a full fast. It’s so funny but on vacation I was eating food throughout the day and hardly satisfied. On 5 Bite, after 5 days, I have little appetite and don’t obsess about food the way I…[Read more]

Today went fine.  I am only slightly hungry now.  Morning was the most hunger today. Hoping day 3 tomorrow gets better with hunger.

Hi Allison and Carmel!

The best thing about being part of swimming station is the contact you can have with Dr LEwis. No one is as motivating and inspiring as he is. I know Allison has done this before so she knows how quickly and effectively this diet can be and getting us the results we want.

I maintained my weight loss for about five years…[Read more]

I just joined again too Nice to see you again Allison! Nice to meet you last night Karly.  Last night was a good chat.  I’m inspired and hopeful again! It’s good to be here.

Great!!!

Thanks!! I will try to join the call tonight – hoping I get home in time.  I didn’t stick with it long enough last time I did 5 bite, but other ways have not worked for me in the past 1.5 years.  I am pretending like I got gastric bypass today, which helps to sticking to it!
