Shelly.  I cannot emphasize this enough:  DO NOT ESTIMATE.  No halves or quarters of anything.  Simply take 5 bites.  I used to order 3-inch sub from Subway (years ago when then did that) and it’s more than 5 bites!!!

Dr Lewis,  It was a 6 inch subway sandwich.  I hate half  which is 3 inches.  Thats o.k. isn’t it?   I’m still loosing by eating that.

Happy 4th of July!!  

I love that Rachel!  Bar’s for the 4th!  I love it.  BBQ NEXT year!  

HAPPY 4th of July, Everyone!!      

SK – as you get closer and closer to the finish line you lose the urgency to finish the project.  After all, you are already enjoying the benefits of your weight loss success and you justify to yourself, “Losing weight is hard, and I’ve already done so well!  I look so much better.  I feel great.  If I really wanted to I could finish this pro…[Read more]

Thanks Rachel! OMG – that birthday party was a nightmare -lol!!! I think my  father-in-law is still mad at me -lololol.

You’re right -just need to go in with a plan today!!! Need to muster all my strength and willpower today. Hardest thing for me is passing up the potato chips. Love me some potato chips – more than 5 – that’s for sure!!!

Good…[Read more]

Don’t give up, you got this!  Go in with your plan ahead of time, and just stick to it.  Just like you did on your 1st week, remember?  Can’t be more difficult than that birthday party you had to go to.

Happy 4th of July!  No movement on the scale today.  Current weight remains at 162.  I may re-weigh after I have a chance to use the bathroom, assuming I don’t ingest any liquids before then. I usually see a significant drop after.

Regardless, I knew I had the perfect day yesterday.  And I will have the same today, guaranteed!  My plan…[Read more]

Thanks Danica! I think the next 5 days will go perfectly too.

Dinner!!! I made it til 6pm tonight. Eating lunch at 1 definitely helps. I ate my Luna bar, and drank coffee, while playing the Disney Cars racing video game with my little guy.

I am going to try something crazy tomorrow. I am going to go for bars only. Despite hosting a 4th of July birthday party! We are having a taco bar and bday…[Read more]

Hopefully with your son home you’ll be able to follow the diet as perfectly as possible. I remember those days and I did a lot of emotional eating when my son had to be away for summer visitation.

Thanks Rachel. I’ll be on the next one for sure

I totally agree. I had half of a kids cheeseburger for lunch. I ate my five bites quickly disposed of the rest and felt completely empowered. It just feels like I am finally in control and every meal that I eat a perfect 5 bites I’m that much closer to my goal.

I love your attitude, Danica!  The journey is hard, but just focus on the next meal.  Eat it PERFECTLY!  There is something magical about eating a meal perfectly and throwing the rest away.  

Right Susan: Just imagine how amazing you will feel tonight if you stick to your game plan!  Just imagine.  It will be a FAR better feeling than the feeling you get from eating any of the treats that your daughter-in-law buys.  AND … when you are skinny, you can eat those treats then!  They’re not going anywhere!  So find the will to delay grat…[Read more]

Kelfro, great job so far!  Obviously you are adhering to the diet well–perfectly even!!  Honestly, are you sorry today that you didn’t eat more in the last 2 days?

This will ALWAYS be the case until you cross the finish line.  Just remember this in a week or so when the excitement of starting something new has died down and you tend to fall ba…[Read more]

Dr. Lewis uses Zoom for his chats.  It can be accessed online (after downloading an update to your computer from the Zoom site). Which is super easy to use.

But Zoom also makes an iPhone app that works fairly well.  You download that from the apple app store, then set up your account.  When it is time for the call, you just open the app on yo…[Read more]

Welcome!!!! Great job on the weight loss.  Isn’t it super motivating when you see it drop so quick???  The first 3 days are the hardest to manage, and the scale showed how you handled it “like a boss”.

The forums are very active right now, so definitely a good time to come onboard.  Also, check out the recorded video chat from July 1 (Monday of…[Read more]

Thanks!  What a difference being busy with my son makes, and the coffee (LOL).  I was busy decorating the house, picking out fireworks, and checking into work periodically.  Time flew by and before I knew it – 1 pm was here!  And I was just a little hungry!

Eating lunch now at about 1:15 pm:  1 Luna Bar (Caramel Walnut Brownie = Yu…[Read more]
