It’s wierd because I decreased my bites the second week and I didn’t lose as much weight. Go figure.

I am losing fat though and every day I’ve lost at least 1 lb. so I’m definately not complaining.

Thanks Marina.

I have not gone one day without losing something and again this morning it was another pound but who can complain about losing 27 lbs. in 14 days.

Thanks again for your support. How are you doing with the plan?

Diane

Wow congrats!!!

And you’re right…any loss is a good loss!!!! Keep up the good work!!!

Marina

Thanks Al! (or do you prefer being called Dr. Lewis?)

Unfortunately I think my bites were too big…either that or cheese bloats me…I’ve always had a problem with cheeses but I figured one bite couldn’t hurt….but it did…no weight loss today.

But I’m not giving up!!! I’m going to be extra strict today! How long do you think it will take…[Read more]

Marina – Welcome!

Delighted to have you on-board.

Firstly, I would wait until you are finished losing the weight before you try on your dress–you will have a completely different body at 120 than you do at 175. So get excited about trying on the dresses–which means get excited about getting thin and getting there fast. We are all here to…[Read more]

Teresa,

I’m so sorry! Well then I say we do this together! Stick with it and I will pray for you too!

This diet really does make a lot of sense…I thank you too Doc!

I normally don’t eat breakfast…just coffee and milk, but today i eliminated that and just had some no calorie vitamin water and then chai tea without milk.
Tomorrow I think I…[Read more]

marina, it’s my first day too.
I just found out a few weeks ago I have cervical cancer -but I am going to eat my 2x 5 bites anyway-after all overeating feeds the cancer cells too.
I have a staging biopsy(Leep procedure) next week, maybe no further treatment.

today I worked through breakfast and didn’t miss it.
Past 1 PM I ate 5 bites of a…[Read more]

Hi Diane, you’re so right about the bite sizes. The second week I found myself enlarging my bites and I paid for it, so now I’m back on track and hoping for greatness! Take care and happy eating!

Hi Barbara,

It was so nice for you to reply and add your support. I am so excited for both of us and you’re right by summer we’ll both be thin. Just think of the clothes we’ll be able to wear and what it feels like to be comfortable for once in our bodies.

I want another 20lb week so I’m watching my bites and even cut back to 3-4. This…[Read more]

Alki33, congrats! I am stalled at the moment at 11.5 lbs. in the first week but I know that my bites have not been consistent. I am re-energized and determined to look good by summer. I cannot believe the weight falls off so fast. The is the easiest and yet the hardest diet. Love it!

Hi Dr. Lewis,

I got your response and I believe if you say it’s possible, I can have another 20lb week weight loss I’m going to go for it. I want nothing more than to reach my goal and when I do I have so much to look forward to.

Again, I can’t believe how good I feel already losing 25lbs in 8 days which is pretty awesome if you ask me. This…[Read more]

Thanks Dr. Lewis for the reply.

I am down two more lbs this morning so I think I’m back on track.

The reason I put "Why less than 5 bites" was because I don’t feel like I need 5 bites anymore so I hardly ever do 5 bites.

The funny thing is when I first saw this on Extra which I hardly ever watch so everything happens for a reason, well the very…[Read more]

Hi Alki –

I don’t think the salt in the mini egg would have set you back.

I’d just stick with a small amount of food for each meal. If you periodically want to skip a meal, though, that would be fine (possibly even great!) And you are right–one bites tastes the same as a lot of bites, so stick with one.

Lastly, I’m not sure what ‘Why less…[Read more]

I was only down one more lb today so I’m eating lighter than 5 bites to make up for the salt I took in yesterday which I think I’m paying for.

I’ll be training a new hire today so I won’t be able to visit with you on the chat . . . wish I could. Have some questions but have to run now.

Hi Alki33 –

Sounds like you have the perfect frame of mind. Again, your objective is to get to the finish line quickly, predictably, and (of course) safely. This will do that for you. once there, you can figure how much you can ‘get away’ with. I leave that up to each individual person. You are doing great!

In terms of the salt, unless you…[Read more]

I would love to do another 20lb week so I’m going to really be careful.

For dinner tonight I had 1/2 hard boiled egg with a little mayo, dill pickle and seasoning. It tasted really salty to me so I’m hoping it doesn’t mess me up, I want to have a good week.

I am following it as perfect as I can and this morning I only lost 1 lb and I even ate less than 5 bites yesterday just to insure I’d have another good week.

Today I was going to have a meatball and a half with BBQ sauce and I could only eat one meatball. They aren’t huge so I’m hoping to be back on track tomorrow.

I can’t believe how easy this…[Read more]

Or more. Remember, you COULD do another 20 pound week, but it means you have to be just as perfect in how you eat, and that kind of focus takes discipline. But, I know you could do it.

Keep up the good work!
Al

Thanks Dr. Lewis for all the support, I was down another 2lbs today so hopefully I’ll have a 14lb week. : )

I’m looking forward to your chat on Monday.

Take Care,
Alki33

I was just letting you know I use firefox and have had no problems -just an FYI -I have had no problems using the chat feature
