I need to make sure and not let this go too many days without updating. The main issue I have right now is a broken scale. Yes, it’s officially showing “E” (for error) and isn’t resetting. So at the end of the week, I’ll be buying a brand new one.

In terms of bites, I mean, I’ve been on top  of it – 5 bites of perfection…[Read more]

I think I need a new weight scale! Something seems off this week. I barely lost anything, and apparently fluctuating between 218 and 219 lbs.

I’ve recounted my foods, and no bite was off the mark. I mean I was perfect again. The only thing I can think of is I’ve been sick this week with a nasty cold, so drinking EmergenC…[Read more]

I was really hoping to get a step up on this week 2 weight loss, but unfortunately, I haven’t quite hit my stride yet. I had been taking perfect bites, even over the weekend, but the weight has only gradually come down, currently at 218.5; so that’s 1 lbs in two days. I will give it time, but in terms of recounting my days,…[Read more]

Weighed in today, but wasn’t as low as I expected. Figured that would happen at some point, but losing lbs no matter what, this time at 219.5 – first time I’ve been under 220lbs since March.

Had a definite victory yesterday where I had already eaten my fried rice + steak dinner, but my parents had visited with some more…[Read more]

@Rachel – Definitely has always worked for me. I tried to do the weekly check-in, but it just didn’t do it for me. As you said, accountability is definitely a big part of that,…[Read more]

Yesterday was the first time I felt somewhat hungrier than usual. I think it was mainly in my head though because my wife had her usual late night snacks (which I used to take part in) and there were quite a bit of food ads everywhere I looked. The beauty of this set up though is that whatever I may have seen yesterday, and…[Read more]

@Dr.Lewis – one thing those big programs don’t have is you, my friend. Thanks for your constant words of encouragement and guidance. I’m still pushing!

@Rachel – Yay, it really works. I had to do it yesterday. It’s a bit like getting bonus fat-burning ; or like…[Read more]

First off, yes, Chiefs…Superbowl Champs – in dramatic fashion as always. That was a great Sunday, but unfortunately the high became super low for me. First, I ate great and stuck to my 10 bites – very happy about that, however literally 5 minutes after we celebrated the clock going to…[Read more]

Day 4 Entry: 2/1/2020

I think the curry was great, but maybe too soupy – and I remember in the book calorie heavy soup is hard to quantize. I felt full much sooner last night than I usually do, so I did not expect to lose too much weight. To my…[Read more]

Day 3 Entry: 1/31/2020

Chilli is one of my favorites, but the night before, after I had my 5 bites, my parents brought some leftover goat curry – smelled amazing! I resisted…[Read more]

Day 2 Entry: 1/30/2020

I knew I would lose a couple. It was clockwork yesterday. 3 bites of salami sandwich and 2…[Read more]

Day 1 Entry: 1/9/2020

As expected, I knew I was going to lose something off the 218 right away. I did not expect 3.0lbs though as I felt my execution yesterday was not 100% perfect…[Read more]

I’m really struggling with the social aspect of eating right now. The irony is that I’m always talking about 5-bites, and they never actually see me “perform” it, if that makes sense.

I need to get back to journaling like before, and even going…[Read more]

Restart is in full effect. Still eating whatever I want, but being very mindful of my bites and counting them. It’s amazing how you can feel fuller faster when you count your bites. Does anyone else feel that way as well? I start to feel full after the 3rd bite, so then I’ll put down the savory food and finish…[Read more]

The good news is, the lowest I got was 191lbs, which is 22lbs that I hadn’t lost already. So as…[Read more]

Edit: I found them. Using ZOOM…duh!

Long story short had a lot of issues at home with wife getting sick, kids getting sick and taking care of my father in law. Overall – just didn’t perform as I wanted to.

One big milestone though is that I’m finally under 200 lbs. Sitting at 198.0 right now. All things considered, I’ll take it, but 2lbs lost in a week is…[Read more]

It should have been more!

However, still a milestone nonetheless. 13 lbs and I can see myself getting under 200 hopefully by tomorrow. I was definitely dissapointed to not be under already, but I am happy I reached my goal. I think my bites were a bit big than they should have been, not to…[Read more]

Another day – another LB down!

It’s in auto-pilot now, I’m around food all the time, that is inevitable. The thing that I didn’t expect, and I’m not sure why, is how loose clothes would start to fit. I wear the same jeans each week, and today they are officially needing to go back on the rack. In addition, my favorite…[Read more]

My mantra is: “Don’t get caught up in the moment of eating” and “Be excited to be precise!”

No issues whatsoever yesterday. Didn’t have to go to the parents’ house as that is usually where some of the challenges occur, but even then – I think I’ve been strong enough to fight through it. I remember a couple years ago when I had tried, I would actually just stay home and let my wife and kids go – just because I…[Read more]

Day 16 Entry: 4/25/2018

Almost right back to where I was at the end of last week. Feeling absolutely great. Yesterday, zero temptations, not even a thought entered to…[Read more]

Danica – So true, it’s very mental. Wow, is it. However, the proof shows up much sooner than most, if not all, diets out there.

Day 15 Entry: 4/24/2018

Little victories such as staring at a crockpot…[Read more]

I didn’t want to write this today, but part of the journey is dealing with it honestly. I completely failed this weekend.

I was so focused on Saturday morning, but once the afternoon struck, I just switched off completely. We took the kids out to get haircuts, and got some food for them, then ordered some for myself and…[Read more]

Day 12 E…[Read more]

Danica – yay, thanks!

Day 11 Entry: 4/20/2018

10 is my favorite number. Boom. 10 lbs lost.

I’m just super excited, guys. This weekend is my middle child’s birthday, and of course…[Read more]

Day 10 Entry: 4/19/2018

Huge again. Finally under the 205 mark. That is what I have been wanting to be at for quite a while now -…[Read more]

Yesterday was a monumental day. I pushed through a couple of tough challenges in quick succession.

The first one was eating at my parents house. We go there everyday after my two boys are done with school, and I’ve said before how great a cook my mom is. For years, I’ve been fed quite well, and it is a significant part of…[Read more]

After a rough weekend, and a bit more on Monday, I am glad to be on the right track again. It’s great to know that 5-bites can always be applied, and that food is not a solution to a lot of things that come up, such as being sick. I focused yesterday on Coffee + Water and being very exact with my bites. I even took smaller…[Read more]
