10 pounds!! You’re a rockstar!! I love reading your posts Chloe. You have such an interesting, introspective approach. It’s quite inspiring and educational.

Can’t wait to connect with you, Dr. Lewis and everyone else.

So I switched my weigh in day to monday morning, it has been one of the better catalysts because I know I’m going to have to talk to Dr. Lewis on chat later and I want to be able to hand him some good news! I lost 1 lb this week despite a lot of mishaps and overeating, but that’s the first 10 lbs down so far! But the past 3 days have been an…[Read more]

Well said Sean!!

It’s a lifelong process Chloe! It’s about never giving up. Different times of life presents us with different challenges. Every day we make choices to move us closer to where we want to be.

Hi Gayle! Good to hear from you again, congrats for keeping most of the weight off for so long, I can’t say the same for myself right now but I’m working on it again!

Great post indeed Chloe!! Good to see you again. I am also back!! I miss being skinny. I LOVED THE FEELING!!

Looks fantastic!

your before/after picture is quite inspiring!

I started reading a book on cognitive behavioral therapy to help me out with sabotaging thoughts around food. it’s supposed to help a person stick to ANY diet vs sticking to any particular diet. Most of the stuff is what Dr. Lewis already says but there are some other strategies that I feel compliment 5 bites really well. I think I’ll just post…[Read more]

Hi Strawberry –

You are doing EXACTLY what you need to do to stay motivated!! YOU have joined, started and are getting involved. YOU are making a commitment to yourself that YOU are worth it! You are worth the effort of saying no to temptation, you are worth the momentary hunger, you would do anything for the you that would do anything for the…[Read more]

good work!

Yeah I don’t even mess with those, way to tempting. popcorn and other types of snack food are out for me since it’s too difficult to get just right, but that’s just me

@beclean, I’m doing alright, I’m down a bit in weight, a few slip ups but mostly on track. Thanks for checking in. Yeah it has been easier to open up the field of what I can eat, things are less tempting if I have the sense that I can just eat it later. Nothing is off limits so I’m less enamored by things. And counting the bites, being super aware…[Read more]

@beclean yeah some of those phrases like “it’s only food” land well with me when I’m really in the groove, but other times not so much. The better I do with this diet, the more certain phrases like that act as little helpful reminders.

I have been off track a bit, I would say I was only on track for about 5 out of the last 8 days. And that has…[Read more]

Still trucking but with a few bumps in the road. I just got access back to the forums and the videos and it helps a lot to go back and watch how I described my experience last year. It helps put me in the mindset to continue. Good luck everybody with this weekend. It’s just food!

It’s a bit of a rough start so far but still mostly on track. I’ve had two slips, one major and one minor. One, I had to wait at a restaurant and was just going to get a diet coke but I felt bad for not ordering anything to eat when they handed me the menu, so i tried to order the smallest thing, but it was still a lot and I ate the whole thing.…[Read more]

I’m on it! :D

Thanks Doc, it’s Larabars for me the whole week, they’re at 1.6 oz.

Hi everyone, back again for another round. I’ve had several failed attempts to 5 bite again over the last year but haven’t been able to stick to it so I’m back on to get some inspiration from the archived weekly talks and solidarity with my fellow 5 biters. I’ve done this a few times now so I know how it will go if I can just stick to it. Clearly…[Read more]
