Everyone is doing great! Even little slips can be seen as a learning experience and not set us back if we just keep at it. I am in charge of all cooking and meal preparation. I can make 20 meals without even thinking about being tempted but that 21st meal will take all my strength not to eat. That happened today at lunch and I ate one perfect bite…[Read more]

Very good posts RSikes and Pia (along with Dr. Lewis)!  Thanks for the insight and information.  What about exercising?  Are you doing it or just taking it easy?  I usually did anywhere from 7-10,000 steps per day, but I am wondering if that is kicking up the hunger and if I should just cool it while doing the 5-Bite.  I also was doing 200 situ…[Read more]

That was a wonderful post, RSikes!  I think everyone should read it and re-read it, until they are on the exact same page as you!  Great job!

Waow Rsikes you’re really rocking it, I love that you are able just to sit during social occasions and have nothing but your water or tea, well done you 

Hi,

I’m not doing as good as I’d like.  Just another pound this week.  Wish my body kept up the momentum it had the first week.  However, I am to blame for some of it, not truly staying with 5 bites, etc.  I’m really going to work hard on that today.  It was interesting to hear from circlecityvegan that she eats half a bar, since she has more…[Read more]

I’m doing ok this week, not as perfectly as I should but I will keep going anyway 

From next week I have 4 weeks holiday and we are going to Norway Wednesday so I would love to be back at 121 pounds by then

I’m glad that you are finding them useful!  

BRILLIANT!  

YES IT IS.  It’s simply an amazing thing!!!  

I’m humming along. My hunger stay is set. I’m doing bars for a week per Dr.’s orders. I’m eating for less than a dollar a day because my 5 bites is only half a bar. Lose weight and save money doing it. What’s not to love!

I Completely forgot about that, thanks for reminding me, looks like my worms are busy eating away today but let them eat YAY 

Wonderful post, RSikes!  Thanks for bringing those journal entries and chats to the forefront.

YES!  This is SO EXCITING when your mind is in the right place, because you realize at that moment it is just a matter of time before you are living that exceptional lifestyle.  Very, very exciting!!  

Hi Sharonmarie. So great to see you back on the forum, I have had so many slip ups myself, keep gaining and losing the same 10-20 pounds, and there’s just no way that I am going to allow myself to get fatter and fatter, I really dislike these extra pounds, so even though I find 5 biting so hard I just have to do it because there is no other way

I would suggest to not “try” it, but rather just do it.  I really do think that bars are a great way to force yourself to eat just 5 bites, and they are great ways of getting started on this program.  But if there is any doubt about sticking to the program (“I’ll try,”, e.g.), then do the bars for a solid three days until your hungerstat resets.  …[Read more]

Wow!  Welcome, Leona!

Right!  You will be skinny by December, but you really need to adopt the 5-bite lifestyle until you are there.  Assume that you actually had a surgical gastric bypass, and force yourself to adhere to just 5 bites.  When a family member or friend asks you why you are eating so little, tell them you had a gastric bypass and…[Read more]

Great Leonag.  I will say this: when you start off, you WILL be hungry.  WHAT you eat won’t change the your hungerstat or the time it takes to set it, so eat what you want to eat.  But I want you to push yourself these first three days: really challenge yourself to welcome and embrace the hunger, then hone in on it when you feel it.  I think you…[Read more]

Sorry, I just now wrote this on Leonag’s thread but I like it so much I’m re-posting it here, for me —-
