Activity

I am guessing that it will get a little busier on the forums in the next week or so with all of those NYE resolutions people are making.

Today was a great day!

Butterfinger bars again, one for lunch, one for supper.

I drank 3 mugs of coffee, and warm water when I was thirsty.

I’ve been trying to keep bundled up lately; I’ve been more cold than usual. And I’m hoping it will help me lose faster!

It’s great to be back on track again. Food is such a strong habit! But…[Read more]

Wynona, when I first did the 5 Bite Diet in 2006 every day I would write a take my weight write it down and or any loss or gain. That paper help me keep focus. That might be my suggestion, for what it’s worth. Sean

Susan, thank you for your very kind words of encouragement. That means a lot to me. So far the day is going fairly well but I have to admit that a couple of times I’ve fallen. However school is out for Christmas holiday and so I don’t have to worry about final exams, students, and a whole host of other things. I will have time to do what I wan…[Read more]

Dr. Lewis, please forgive me for not responding sooner. My School finally finished final examinations and let the boys out for Christmas vacation. Becky asked me an immense amount of freedom to get other things done rather than pay attention to students.

140 lbs!?! I remember you telling me that once in your office and I was horrified! I must…[Read more]

Great job, Rachel!!!

Day 8 of my reset

1.5 lb loss this morning. Yesterday I had 5 bites of vegan meatballs in tomato sauce for both lunch and dinner.  No diet sodas. 

*I am hungry, but I am happy because hunger is natural. Feeling full is unnatural* 

Oops.  My error.  I’ll fix it..

Yes! Me too

Thank you Rachel!

Another perfect day! Hooray!

We went out for burgers and to go look at Christmas lights tonight. I ate my bar beforehand, and drank a small diet soda while the others enjoyed burgers and shakes. I had to have my sister taste my soda to make sure it was diet- it tasted so good!

The rest of my day was…[Read more]

Bundling up is a great idea to beat the cold! You are doing an awesome job Skinny!

You can do this Wyonna. Mind over matter.  Remember that feeling full is just a bad habit, and it is unnatural. Hunger is natural. So when you are hungry, take a deep breath, count down from 5, and say I am happy because I am hungry as it is natural and means I am burning fat.  I also keep some visuals around that encourage me to stay the c…[Read more]

Thank you for the encouraging words! I may stop weighing in the next week or two. But right now I use it as a tool to make sure I am getting my bite sizes right. In previous attempts at the 5BD I was losing 1.5-2lbs a day. So that is where I am trying to get again. If it doesn’t, so be it. It will just take a few extra weeks to get to goal.

Hi Rachel!

You are doing great!

9 lbs in 1 week is amazing!

Sometimes weighing every day can be disappointing when you don’t lose something every time. I have noticed that Dr. Lewis often recommends weighing just once a week. Then you get a big loss all at once!

Don’t be discouraged when the scale doesn’t go down every…[Read more]

❤️Scale is slowly moving again❤️  1lb loss this morning. Yesterday I had 5 bites of dolmas and hummus for lunch, and 5 bites of a homemade vegan burrito bowl. No creamer. 1 diet soda.

Today I aim to remove all diet soda. I really want to see bigger daily numbers.  Maybe even take smaller bites.

*I am hungry, b…[Read more]

I agree, it’s tougher during the holidays! I have the hardest time in social situations… It takes a lot of strength to say no! I just have to remind myself why I’m doing this. It also helps me to be accountable when I check back here each day and post how I’m doing!
