Hello, and Welcome! Wynona and Apriljean!

I’m excited for you too! Are you just starting out, or have you been 5 biting for a few days?

I have been off track since Thanksgiving, as you may have guessed from reading the forums. I’m going to restart and be perfect again, beginning tomorrow morning.

This feels like a crazy time of…[Read more]

Well, the past couple of days I have not been perfect… But I think I’ve made progress. I have been eating more bites than 5, but less bites than I’m “hungry” for. I really mean it now… Tomorrow I want to be perfect!

I had a thought, I may not feel like I ‘need’ to lose the weight so quickly, and therefore I’ve been excusing myself eating…[Read more]

Hello Sean!

That is inspirational! I’m excited for you to get back to your best weight!

I have tried MANY diets and weight loss plans, and I truly think this is the BEST diet for weight loss that there is!

I hope you have a wonderful day! Good luck!

Ok, tomorrow marks 2 weeks of failed days doing this. This can be the last failed day! I can be perfect from here on out! I think I need a new ‘journal’ for a fresh start. So tomorrow when I weigh, I am going to start a new thread to check in each day.

And making my own ‘rules’ such as 3 bites rather than 5 is just distracting me. So 5 small…[Read more]

Today was even better than yesterday… Less and less ‘extras’ every day!

Lunch was exactly 3 bites of mozzarella sticks.

Supper was 3 bites of mozzarella sticks, and then some pickles. But I finished the last tiny bit now, so that is the last I will be eating of them.

I drank two mugs of coffee, and a diet limeade. Tomorrow I aim…[Read more]

Today was pretty good, but I was not as perfect as I should have been.

Lunch was 1/2 a Snickers, then I ate a pickle.

Supper was a chocolate covered cherry and 3 bites of potato chips.

I drank 3 cups of coffee so far, and I am going to drink another one.

And NO more bites, licks, or tastes! I can and will be perfect for the rest of the evening!

Thanks Chloe!!

Today was really good, except I ate pickles along with my three bites for each meal. I guess my stomach is pretty stretched, and I decided pickles were better than sugary baked goods. But the salt isn’t!

For lunch I had half a snickers, then a little later I had some pickles.

For supper I had the other half of the snickers…[Read more]

Glad to see your post today! I wasn’t totally perfect today, but a lot better than I have been. It’s encouraging to see someone else checking in, too!

Ok, here is my weight: 211.2 lbs. 9 lbs up in a week!!

Maybe Thanksgiving just isn’t worth going off the diet for!

I think I’m going to weigh in on Sundays from now on.

Perhaps I can beat my best weekly loss this week!

Oh dear. I was awful today! That first 5 bite meal IS hard, and I failed.

This whole week was a flop, starting last Sunday. But now Thanksgiving is OVER.

All the Thanksgiving food is gone, and there are no more big or unusual happenings planned for next week.

I have a plan and I am going to stick with it!

First, I think I know why I’m…[Read more]

Well, I ate a Snickers for lunch, but I had extra bites after supper. I need to get re-motivated!

I did not drink any coffee today because I have had laryngitis all week, and supposedly caffeine is bad for your voice. I am going to sing with our church choir at a funeral tomorrow, and I was desperate to get my voice back. It’s back now,…[Read more]

Thanks Dr Lewis!

We had a really good Thanksgiving.

It was truly a learning experience for me! I made a ‘normal’ plate, but remember thinking “Wow, each of these ‘portions’ would make an entire meal for me normally!” I ate some of everything, and only finished my turkey and pie. I didn’t need to though. Old habits!!

One thing I…[Read more]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Yesterday was perfect, just a Snickers for lunch and another Snickers for supper.

I didn’t check in because I took Nyquil for my cold, and then I got too sleepy.

I’m excited for my free day today!

I hope you all stay safe and have a wonderful day!!!

Today was perfect!

I don’t know why I’ve been having such trouble the past few days! Today was easy, thankfully.

For lunch, I had 5 bites of a ham sandwich and threw the rest away.

For supper, I had a Snickers bar. I cut it into 5 bites so I could visualize how much I am eating.

I have had almost no voice for 3 days, and a…[Read more]

Yes, I will. Especially since I only lost 2 lbs this week!

Today is going to be PERFECT!

Ok, I have to check in. I was really awful yesterday: I did good, 5 bites at lunch and 5 bites at supper, then after supper I started to pick at the food on my plate. Then they served cake, and I ate a peice. And today, I had resolved to not eat, to make up for the cake. But I started picking at food, and just tasted and took a LOT of random,…[Read more]

Great job! Your posts are always encouraging. I need to get excited too. Time for me to re-read Dr Lewis’s book!

I haven’t tried eating ‘normally’ this time on the diet yet, so it will be interesting to see how I feel on Thanksgiving!

I do remember once during the first time I ever tried doing the 5 bite diet, I went off plan and ate a…[Read more]

Thank you Chloe and Dr Lewis!

Today was better. Still a little bit sick, but I rested and drank some hot water.

I did have some cough/throat drops too, probably not the best idea though. And I have to confess that I drank about 1/2 cup broth with lunch too. Bad choices! It will not help me! Truthfully, the hot water made me feel…[Read more]

Dr Lewis, I wish I had read that earlier today! You are right, it won’t make me feel better.

I drank 2 mugs of broth today. That has carbon, not as much as juice or milk, but it still has carbon. Then my stomach hurt because it is smaller now. Lesson learned!

I feel a little better today than I had been. It wasn’t a very perfect day…[Read more]
