Day 1

lunch: cornbread and chili 5 bites

dinner: snickers bar

This frame of mind is so comfortably familiar, it’s nice to feel so certain about what I am doing already. No hunger pangs, energy levels good. I am expecting difficulties over the next two days with energy levels as my body switches over but I suspect that my body…[Read more]

I’m so glad! We are here to ENcourage each other and remind each other that as long as we stay in the game WE ARE WINNING!

Thanks Gayle! Yeah we are so lucky to have a place to get support. Everywhere else I look that is okay with rapid fat loss is in the ED community which is super unfortunate. I don’t want to pathologize the practice of eating less.

It’s funny, once you lose weight with 5 bite, every other approaching seems unnecessary and time consuming.

Hi Caitlinn-

First of all – give yourself credit for your initial success! Now, you have proven to yourself you CAN do it and DID do it! NOW, you will do it again today.  It really is about COMMITTING yourself 100%. I spent 2 years of up and down with 5 Bite until I finally committed 2 years ago on the slimming station with dr. lewis. Then I…[Read more]

Hi Everyone!

Well- Last Tuesday I got down to my all time low of 114.8. I felt like I was too skinny but keeping up with goal of getting to 113 to see how it felt.  THEN – I caved. My son came home Thursday and I started my pre holiday weekend indulgence. I went a bit crazy for 3 days. I completely lost focus. So unusual for me to allow that for…[Read more]

Hi Chloe-

Welcome back! I completely get it!! I STILL need accountability after 2 years in maintenance.  We need to have those slips in order to figure out what we need. Most of the time, I am in a healthy eating and lifestyle place but sometimes BOOM those old habits creep in. I love having Slimming Station and Dr. Lewis as my safety net. It’s…[Read more]

Yep I am on it! thanks doc 

Day 0

Hi y’all I am back again. I did a pretty terrible job with going it on my own and managed to gain back all the weight I lost.  I went from 150 back up to 170. I have fiddled with various bite schemes for the last month and a half only to fail miserably. My understanding is that it’s quite easy to lose weight and be disciplined about…[Read more]

That’s a novel idea!

Weight: 115.4 (down pound)

Happy Thursday! Yesterday was sooo hard due to absolute exhaustion BUT i made it through without slipping. I really think that given all the days of dieting under my belt that I’m closer to 113/114. I really don’t have visible fat on my body

Today I am feeling so glad that I chose to stay on plan. Need to keep thi…[Read more]

You are spot on Tammy! You sound so ready and this is FUN to do with friends and family. Definitely one day at a time – sometimes one minute at a time!

Welcome back Rachel! Just in time to get SKINNY for the holidays!! This diet is sooo fast. There is always temptation. I was fighting it hard this morning because of lack of sleep BUT — cravings ALWAYS pass. Ride the waves!!

It is soooo worth it. I will hit my 18.5 BMI by next week (or maybe this week – 2 to 3pounds away). Come join me!!!

Hi Tammy –

Welcome to the ONLY DIET THAT HAS EVER WORKED FOR ME! Even though I only HAD to lose 15 pounds by conventional standards, I’ve lost about 30 with 5 bite but particularly under the tutelage of Dr. Lewis. Before joining the Slimming Station, I roller-coastered for two years on 5 bite. I am now celebrating my 2 year anniversary…[Read more]

Happy Wednesday everyone!

wt: 116.4

Not at all alarmed by 1.4 increase on the scale. I have been strictly dieting. This is because I am PMS and only slept 3 hrs. I am so in tune with my body and process. Confident that it is all working. I bet my “real” weight is more like 113-114.

I am going to put in the time and will easily see 113 nex…[Read more]

That’s funny Pia! I also work at a hospital and it is so strange to see the doctors and medical staff are mostly overweight and out of shape. You would think that they would understand the relationship between skinny and healthy.

You and your baby boy are beautiful!

I’m sure Dr. L can talk about weight fluctuations with breast feeding.

I completely relate to the feeling of wanting the range to be lower so you don’t get as upset when weight fluctuates.

I’m currently holding on to water because of PMS. Even though I know this happens every month, it’s…[Read more]

Thanks Dr. L!!

Wishing you a hearty congratulations Letileti. So exciting!

You only gained 10 pounds during your pregnancy? I never heard of gaining such little weight during pregnancy.

I bet you are going to lose that last few pounds FAST! When are your most challenging times of the day?

Before PMS I had 2 pounds to go! I’m 5’6 (5′ 5′ 3/4) and 115.

I…[Read more]

Hi Pia

I am expecting my period so my weight has gone up a couple of pounds even though I’ve been on plan. Hypothetically I should have gotten to 113 by Sunday but the scale is not cooperating. I imagine I will see 113 once period is done.

Putting in my time and the results will follow
