I have eaten 5 extra bites in the last 3 days just trying stuff that my gf is eating. I think allowing myself to just try a bite helps me break the spell around the food so that my resolve is strong enough to continue. I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything .I think when I say I can’t have something, it makes me feel like I have to put a…[Read more]

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Thanks I’m glad posting to much has actually helped someone. I was pretty devastated thinking that all my previous posts reflecting the effort I put in was for nothing. Now I realize that I built a lot of habit structures that make it quite a lot easier the second time around. :yahoo:</p>

Thanks guys! So far so good, enjoying my vacation and keeping it simple with bars mostly.

Day 8

Down 11 lbs in one week! From 184 to 173

Pretty stoked and surprised given that I’ve been doing 15 bites for lunch and dinner instead of 5. Watching all the chats, I’m wanting to try just 5 or even fast on some days but I think I won’t get into that until I’m a little farther down. Currently this feels pretty dang easy. I’ve had some sleep…[Read more]

Also excited for you, you’re super close! Also i wish we could all see each other’s charts to see the weight loss over time. I just think it would be cool

Days 4 and 5

So far so good! the old habits come back really easy. Been listening to the old chats and absorbing the advice. It’s easier with 15 bites but I know it is much slower. I will certainly take advantage of just 5 biting when I can but it’s a pretty amazing thing so see weight loss with even 15 bites. I’m already down 7.5 lbs down to…[Read more]

Wow 112 lbs is no joke, that’s amazing! It’s good to see someone else that went through the same thing, it really helps. Yeah things are already working pretty well, getting back into the same kinds of good habits. It’s like a muscle that I used to work out and stopped for awhile but it still knows how to lift things! Anyways, thank you, the…[Read more]

Days 1,2,3

I’m back and  way up to 184lbs, higher than I started! So that’s 34 lbs in 4 months

I have just been eating too much. Went back up to eating whole foot long subs with cookies and everything. I had a really difficult day at work one day and all the dominoes just started falling. I think I just got arrogant and, af…[Read more]

Wishing you a great weekend Rebekkah! See you monday

I know that I get used to less and am as satisfied with less bites than if I had more after 3-5 days.

Nice job Susan! Accountability is key. Even in maintenance – we are always balancing food choices and it is helpful to have accountability to keep it REAL!!

Excited to see your progress and inspired by your dedication.

Day 3 to 113. Bump up for no reason. Silly scale. Will not let u stop me. I have lots of food temptations today – including a cocktail dinner reception. I will be having 2 bars no matter what. I’ve learned that weight loss still happens when you apply the process and put in the time. Whoosh is on its way b…[Read more]

Hi Inna-

How Fantastic!! You are going to have the BEST time!! Nothing feels sexier than being SKINNY.  I have a lot of obscene dresses that I wore to Vegas but would only wear them there or for my BF. I do push the barriers for nights out when we go to NYC.

It also helps me to look at some of those websites  I have skinny women in dresses.    T…[Read more]

DAY 4 P/TOM

Getting ready to release some water. I feel skinnier than this but doesn’t matter. I am going strong until 113. I will do 2 bars today and through the weekend. If we MUST go out to eat, I will do a bar or egg whites. I have got this down.

I was quite suspect about…[Read more]

That sounds great. Would love your review of the gum. Gum seems to make me hungrier. Maybe this gum will be different.

DAY 1 P/TOM (Wha???)

Great chat with Dr. Lewis last night. He never disappoints.

Wasn’t sure why I have been so weak, hungry and lethargic the last couple of days. Now I know. Amazed that weight is so low with TOM. It’s only going down from here. Day 5 of Detox from…[Read more]

Dr. Lewis – This was a brilliant and helpful post!

Brenda-

I had SOOO many false starts. Life always throws us curveballs but somehow when our eating is in control we hit those balls out of the park.

I wish, wish I didn’t spend the two years with one toe in the 5 Bite waters. LOVE being SKINNY for the last 3 years. I want this for EVERYBODY!…[Read more]
