Thanks yeah I feel like I wasn’t having to put too much willpower into it because somehow in my mind right now, it’s just not an option to eat more.It’s such a strong feeling that is getting stronger as I continue on. I hope I can make sure to re-stoke that feeling and make it all the way through.

Day 5

Got through just fine, even trained a…[Read more]

Thanks doc

Day 4

I’m writing a day after. Yesterday was relatively easy as well. My limbs falls asleep really easily if pressed against something, even just sitting a certain way. It goes away once I keep moving around. I can’t seem to find any concrete explanation for why this might be happening except some sort of electrolyte imbalance. I have…[Read more]

Day 3

Still going! That was a relatively easy day 3 compared to a lot of the other ones I’ve been through. Feeling the drain and uncomfortable feels at times but as soon as I give a little push, my body is ready to go. Seems like my body is adjusting to switching its power supply. I think I’m in a much better place mentally now than I was last…[Read more]

Nice!, I also get sleep disturbances in the sense that I don’t seem to need as much sleep when doing 5 bites, not sure what that’s about but it’s actually kinda nice to be alert in the morning instead of super lethargic. Also doesn’t it feel amazing to get past meal time without thinking about it? Not being fixated on food is such a strange and…[Read more]

Day 2

So far so good, a little difficult with some of the side effects but manageable. Keeping at it, making sure I don’t think about it too much.

Thanks Susan and Becca, let’s get after it! And thanks doc, you’re right, just gotta trust the body and let it do what it’s going to do.

Hey Susan! Yes still trucking. I’ve been convinced to go full 5 bite instead of just the 15. I seem to be adjusting pretty well so far. Should be dropping into the 160s by tomorrow. Hope you are doing well too!

Came back from vacation at exactly the same weight I was coming in! I was hoping to be down a little but that’s okay. I am another half lb down today at 172.5. This just goes to show how easily I could have gained weight as I would have eaten a lot more if I wasn’t counting bites.

Had some coffee this morning and think I’ll shoot for 10 bites for…[Read more]

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]
