Hi Corgi,

I’m on Day 3 and I’ll admit that it hasn’t been easy. I’m fighting my way through some hunger pangs but drinking something warm like coffee or tea has been helping. I almost wanted to "cheat" last night and have just a few more bites, but I stopped myself. It’s not worth it and why throw away my progress (although only 2 days) thus…[Read more]

Thanks Dr. Lewis!

I am trying my best today – so far just water and no bites of anything.

Hi Al,

Thanks for the words of encouragement but I would have to lose 20 pounds by Thanksgiving!!! 4 weeks!!!

I tried using the "weight tracking" but everytime i click on it, it takes me to the "subscribe now" page even though I am already logged in! Is there something wrong with it?

Thanks,
Marina

Rae!!!!
I’m praying for your husband! God Bless Him!!!
I did the same thing when my fiance went out of town – nostalgia drives me nuts too!
I’m here for you too – let’s stick together on this diet – I haven’t been able to up until now but I will be right here with you! You will look marvelous when you see your husband again!!!
Sending you lots of…[Read more]

Rae that is a great idea!!! I’m always craving something salty too!!! Gotta go buy those pickles!!!

Shannon,
Stick with this group! They are great motivators for us to achieve success!!!

Kathy,
Looks like you and I have the same stats…i’m 5’7" and starting off at 194!!
Any tips? Have you stuck to only 5 bites twice a day, and you lost 30 pounds in 6 weeks?
Congrats!

Marina

Rae!!!
That is how I felt this past week!
Last night I was craving so badly, but i did what you told me to do…I pinched an inch of fat and thought I need to get this off first!!! It worked!!!

Thanks!

Wow…I started this thread and didn’t realize all the support that is really out there!

I’m back on track starting today. I kinda lost my appetite over the weekend..I wasn’t hungry, but started eating and then ended up throwing my food away bc it just wasnt appetizing to me…so its best to grab onto that feeling and start the 5BD again

Way to go Rae!!! That sounds wonderful. I love this forum for all these ideas…i think that is what I will do the next time my fiance orders in…just take out 5 bites and put away the rest (therefore no temptation!!!)

Rae, Dr. Lewis is right, I went on an eating spree on saturday & sunday, only because I was with my fiance…and what do I have to show for it…just weight gain and feeling bloated and blah…so I am back with a vengeance and will stay focused on this diet until the wieght comes off.

Good Luck to everyone!!!

Welome Rae!!! You will do great! We are all here to support you!

I think Mondays sound great too! I may have to restart on Monday though…bad weekend…I really need to stay focused because I know this can work…I’ve already got my Snickers bars all set for the week!

Day 2 – 2 pound loss!!!!

Yaaaaay!

I’m going to try to stick to this diet as strictly as possible this weekend, but I think I may have to reset my Day 1 as Monday!!!

I’ll keep you all posted!

Marina

Congrats Diane!!

See you here on Monday!

Congrats Diane!

Sounds great about the graph..i think hearing and seeing everyone’s weight loss is very supportive and encouraging!

Thanks Dr. Lewis! A good time for me to chat would probably be anytime on Monday thru Wednesday.

Yaaay! I know you can do it…and you’re right…we’ve got nothing to lose but this weight! And to get it off quicker is evern better!

I have about 60 pounds to lose and then will reset my goal for another 15 pounds maybe

Hi Barbara,

I was the one who posted about the cheese, but I believe you can eat anything…I just don’t tolerate cheese very well that’s all.

I never thought about the little bite size appetizers…those would be great!!! This diet is awesome..I can’t wait until next week to report a big loss!

Good luck to both of you!!!

Marina

Wow Diane! That is fantastic! Do you have a lot to lose (if you don’t mind my asking?)

I’m declaring today a start over day for me because although I had only 5 bites yesterday for lunch and dinner, I didn’t lose anything and i think my bite of cheese is the culprit…i don’t tolerate it well but I figured 1 bite would be ok…it wasn’t!

But…[Read more]

Wow congrats!!!

And you’re right…any loss is a good loss!!!! Keep up the good work!!!
