Activity

Awwww thank you Susan and Dennis. I actually changed the plan as wanted to tackle the food aspect up front with a small meal in the evening. I threw away all the food in the fridge but had some frozen meals in the freezer.

So in all my first day back, was a success. I weighed in first thing this morning and will weigh in once a week not every…[Read more]

Wow incredible work Susan. You Re in the race to get to that finish ribbon. Sooooo inspirational for everyone to see your commitment and strength. Thank  you for being here  and journaling like you do. You are going to be there in no time skinny,  thin and healthy in beautiful clothes with a happy healthy mindset. 

I spent the  last two days at my mom’s, came home tonight and realized I forgot my scale at my mom’s!! I am so mad at myself. I should have put it in my car after I weighed in after lunch!

I am going back there Tuesday and will get it and start up my weight diary again. I want to do this!

I can tell you that I never get up and eat or drink duri…[Read more]

Great plan Sharon you got this 

No.  Over a period of days, ALL water in = ALL water out.  SO, at no point do I want you to count the weight of water in your analysis.

If you look at your last evening’s weight loss, you went to bed at 162.0 and woke up at 161.0.  1 pound when you sleep at night.  Great!, and in theory that IS what your body loses in an 8-hour period of tim…[Read more]

Sounds great Sharon! Good to see you! You are in the perfect place  to do this! 

Here is my analysis, let me know if this seems right based on my numbers.

1. in the morning/ early afternoon hours I GAIN anywhere from .4  to 1.4 pounds.  ( not including clothes). That is from multiple cups of coffee, water, and lunch, I believe.

2. In the afternoon/ evening hours I LOSE anywhere from .4 to . 8 pounds . That is from e…[Read more]

“We all have the tools to get the job done. It’s a mind game. Do you really want it or not?”- Dr. Lewis

Glad to see you!!

yes this is the place to be for me too!

I listen to chats every day and read any new posts and also add a post (or a few) of my own. 

So helpful as a “time out”!

You did great yesterday.  The reason why you didn’t lose as much as you were expecting must be because of salt in the food.  Still, that will wash itself out in a day or so, so no fear.  I expect big things to come!!  

1. Of all the diet programs out there, why did the 5-Bite Diet catch your attention? It made sense to me. The diet itself is simple and to the point. Fast results.

2. Why is this diet better than other diets out there? I tried many diets and this is the one that has had the most impact on me. I am able to stick to it for the most part and lose…[Read more]

So, my plan was to continue to just do bars and to continue with my food diary. But, Yesterday, when I was out,  I saw McDonald’s. I decided to try with Dr. L  has talked a lot about: ordering fast food and taking 5 bites and throwing it away. This has always been a problem for me. I ordered the $1 hamburger, took five very small bites, (to be sur…[Read more]

“You just need to manage the journey. Once the journey is manageable,  it’s just a matter of time.”- Dr. Lewis

I love this quote because it is exactly where I am right now! I’ve got my well-managed plan mapped out and need to keep in managed every day!!  

I know it seems crazy like keeping the journal is conjuring the “weight loss fairies” or something!!  🧚‍♀️

Lol. I don’t really get why but at this point, I don’t care why. I just want to get to my goal!! So I am going to keep doing it.

Interesting tidbit:  By keeping this rigid weight journal, irrespective of the data it gives us, you’ve lost TWICE the amount you did last week!!!  GREAT going!
