Well done Allison! Great plan! I love the profile picture. And congrats on your daughter’s performance My vacation was great, but toward the end my resolve wore thin, but I’m back at it. I refuse to quit.  I will see the finish line this time.    I’ve also been reading Why Weight Around and listening to old recorded chats. I always learn so mu…[Read more]

Hello Dalia and welcome back! Being here is a huge commitment, and I like your perspective! Looking forward to seeing you a lot here! I’m in east coast USA and you are 6 hrs ahead of me I think. Not too much difference. My good morning is your good afternoon. I love the UK! I have been there many  times

Hello All!  I missed Monday too, big snow storm and power outage.  See you on 1/30 as well.  Keep 5 biting.  Clothes are feeling looser. It’s working (as it always does!).

Karly, we missed you!  But I totally relate.  Like Allison, when I mess up?  That is when I’m ashamed to show up.  Too many no-shows on my part,  and I duck out all together.  But I too am determined to break that pattern.  I’m telling myself: there is not shame in the slip up, even repeated slip ups.  For me, the shame lies in quitting. (And al…[Read more]

Welcome Sarah!  This is such a safe space.   Dr. Lewis and everyone  else always make you feel welcome, right from the start.  Looking forward to seeing you on our next chat!  This is such a great program!

Dr. Lewis, GREAT meeting! Thank you for your time tonight. I’m amazed that after TWENTY YEARS you still show up every Monday night. Impressive.

Sorry we got cut off, you were just getting going. But you asked a question, Why do people quit and not finish, in spite of all the support you give.

I’d like to chime in with what I think. I was one of…[Read more]

Well done Karly! I’m celebrating your win with you.  I agree, 5BD is all about dialing it in.   Now we just have to rinse and repeat!

Awesome Allison!  Love the mindset!

I’m totally focused and resolved. I’m done being robbed of vitality via excess food. Not worth it.

I think of each of you every day, and when I’m feeling the discomfort of holding myself back from freely eating, I remember I’m not doing this alone.

I’m thankful for this  little support team.  It helps! Glad you are all here.

Thanks for the e…[Read more]

I just joined again too Nice to see you again Allison! Nice to meet you last night Karly.  Last night was a good chat.  I’m inspired and hopeful again! It’s good to be here.

Day 2 down, Day 3 here we come!

What a great day you had Poppycat! It’s amazing how energized we become  when our body is not bogged down with excess digestion.  I’m so glad for your good report.  Yes, lets go into that time of year when people gain weight, and be those that baffle others with our losses. That gets me excited!  I want  to…[Read more]

Day 2 down!  Day 3 here we go!

How’s everyone doing? I encourage you to stay  focused on today.

When I began this program at the end of last April,  I thought I only had about 20+ lbs  to loose to get to MY goal, but  after talking to Dr. Lewis found out I ACTUALLY had 62 lbs to lose!  That realization was crushing at first because the dista…[Read more]

I agree Racheal, mistakes always belong behind us, right?   A new day, a new opportunity. Life is a one-way ride, no do-overs, but ALWAYS another chance to live it out better today.

Sleeping in…warm bath…I love it!  Get it when you can!

1st bar down (I always eat early 11AM lunch) and black coffee with French Vanilla Stevia drops and I’m d…[Read more]
