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]

Day 7 of my reset

❤️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!

That’s super exciting!!! YES, in only a few days you can reach your goal!

You can do it!

Hi Skinny2020

I have 5 pounds to lose.

In few days I shoud be there.

My weighttracker is not updated . I need to eat with family members.

But I can 5 bites easier because I try to taste 5 different food and talk about them around table with other family members.

it’s a social way of sharing expériences

Hi Letileti!

Yes, you are never alone!! Keep going, you can do this!

Do you only have 12 lbs left to go? You could lose almost all of them by Christmas!

Something I noticed a few days ago was that more bites just never taste as good as you think they will.

Have you ever tried to eat Snickers bars for your meals?…[Read more]

<p style=”text-align: center;”>Not sure about you guys, but this holiday stuff makes it even harder! My coaster son came into town and surprised me with dinner!! First time he’s ever cooked for me (he’s 23) so I didn’t want to offend him by not eating everything 🥰 I try to behave when there’s nothing going on, & splurge when we have plans, which h…[Read more]

I add lots of spices to boost my metabolisms to my bites.

I Try always to remember that 5 biting we are NEVER alone.

<p style=”text-align: center;”>I am visualising my weight to ask my brain to reach it every night before falling asleep.</p>
Avoiding mindless eating brings on the surface the reals reasons of why I often need to overeat. Stress. Boredom. Depression.

I try to face the real problems with the right answers, not food.

Hi everyone

I am joining your race to lose few pounds in advance before Christmas holidays.

I am reading your posts everyday.

I am trying to eat one meal at time. To think that my race starts with the last 5 bites party and ends with the other.

Then again.

I know I can’t eat more one or two bites of the same food. It gives me strong c…[Read more]

Today was perfect! Hooray!!!

I MUST drink my coffee in the morning, rather than waiting until later. For some reason, even if I drink exactly the same amount, I do much better if I drink my first coffee around breakfast time. I feel less hungry that way!

I ate Butterfinger bars for my meals today; they weigh 1.9 oz so they’re about…[Read more]

No weight loss this morning. 😢😢😢 I was eating just eggs, but they were making feel sick. So yesterday I switched back to 5 bites of my vegan food. I had 5 bites of dolmas and hummus, for both lunch and dinner, totaling about 300 calories . I even cut out coffee creamer, and spent 45 minutes on the treadmill.  I…[Read more]

I am in Sacramento. We don’t get ice, but it does dip down this time of year. Woke up to 35degree weather outside. That is really cold for is, so I understand! Trying to bundle up and stay warm inside as I live in an older home that doesn’t retain heat very well…very drafty. Just an excuse to drink more coffee!!! 😂

Yes, in the last 5 days I am…[Read more]

Wow, 5 days is really great! I keep cheating every few days, ugh! I am going to follow your example.

So you have lost 8 lbs in 5 days? That’s amazing! I need to cut out the artificial sweet stuff too.

I hope you have a good evening! We are supposed to get ice here, so that’s going to be interesting. The trees are already wearing icicles!

Thank you Susan! Today I realized, I have been forgetting my resolution to be perfect simply for the sake of being perfect! I do want to get skinny!!! I appreciate that you took the time to encourage me to try harder. Thank you!

Today was way better. I was super busy cleaning this morning, and it was 12 pm before I realized it! It was…[Read more]

Wow!  Right on advice, Susan!!
