Yes! Let’s give it a try! My schedule is pretty flexible on Thursdays, except between 6 PM–8 PM Central Time (8 PM–10 PM Pacific Time).

This could be as short as 20 minutes if we prefer. I’m open to any ideas or suggestions! Please share a time that works for you, and I’d love to accommodate Kylie’s time zone as well. Kylie, could you let us know…[Read more]

I guess it is a glitch in the system. I will wait too!!

I have been trying to find a way to deal with that impulse that arises out of stress. The only thing that has helped me is listening in my mind to the words of Dr. Lewis that I am just going to have to claw my way through. Sipping black coffee helps some, and making myself get out help some. But I know it always comes down to those moments when I…[Read more]

I feel like overcoming the “all-or-nothing” mindset is THE key to reaching my goal weight. This is my main focus after struggling to stick to  5 Bites. Practicing stopping is crucial.

I’m sending lots of positive thoughts that the part of your brain—the part that can stop after going a little over—gets stronger and stronger. It’s such an import…[Read more]

Kylie, we are all here for you, and we’re not going to give up on you—Dr. Lewis absolutely won’t either. Maybe consider a modified version of the diet for now?

Hi Preet!

Yay! And yes, we absolutely know this tool is the most efficient way to shed the weight for so many reasons. Sending lots of positive thoughts your way! It’s so great to see you back. This site is such a fantastic resource and source of inspiration—I’ll be seeing you around here!

That is great Allison!!! Thanks for the inspiration!!!

I love to read this! So inspiring! Yes! Staying on 5 Bites during holidays and special events is so much better than joining in on the overeating.

Hi Kylie!

I hope things are going great! I got completely off track with the holiday and the festivities, but I am back today!! Rooting for you to have a great win for your trip to Vietnam!

I saw this with Twix candy bars at TJ Maxx today.

Elizabeth, I completely agree with everything you said! I really needed to hear this. My new analog scale is being delivered tomorrow, and after all the change and chaos—driving cross-country for two weeks and moving—I’m ready to tackle the holidays and stay on track with this plan!

Let’s do it!!

These photos are so happy! You have had a crazy successful year!! Congratulations!!

You are not letting us down Kylie!

We will not give up! We will take it one day at a time!

I want that!!

You are such a fabulous cheerleader and ecourager, Kylie! I hope you are as encouraging a cheerleader to yourself as you are to everyone else. Being our own cheerleader is a big part of this, I am learning.
