SK: Thanks!! Looking forward to finally hitting my goal and not stopping at Mile 25 of a 26.2 Mile Marathon!! I’ll be excited to see your results as well 

Dr. Lewis: I really know I can!! I have to stay focused.

Sharon: How has your week been??  We are going to cross the finish line together and soon!!

I am not going for mediocre res…[Read more]

Awesome!! 👏

Very excitedly sitting on the brink of the 120’s!! I really want to be under 130 by weigh in on Thursday!! I haven’t been on the scale, but I have been perfect!! 

I am already at my lowest weight I can remember so that makes me happy and proud. But, this is not my goal!!

120 is my goal!!

Excellent control! You can do 5 bites under any conditions and you just proved that! It’s good to be a bit nervous when going out so that you stay focused. Great job!!

I lost 14 pounds in one week!! 

I’m with you!  I have my grand daughters birthday pool party  that very same day and my ex-husband’s  entire family will be there. I had a really bad divorce and they were pretty cruel to me including taking jabs at me for being over weight. I really want to be at my goal of 120 by July 13. I will be thinner than the thinnest member of his family…[Read more]

My weigh in is Thursday . I have been perfect 5 straight days. It’s great knowing we are all doing the same thing!!

Good to see you Shelly!!!

Best of luck! Yeah tell them whatever you need to in order to prevent them from tempting you. Remember, you won’t miss the food you don’t eat!! You won’t regret NOT eating, but you WILL regret breaking your commitment to yourself!

Also, imagine Dr. Lewis standing in the corner watching you.  What would you eat in front of him? 

“The extra fat self -promotes. When you get thin, you won’t want to over eat.”- Dr. Lewis

My husband brought home a package wrapped in brown paper.

On it, he wrote “do not open until you reach your goal”. 

I don’t know what it is but I am really excited.

He knows I love surprises! 💕

I love it! 

Hello and welcome!!

With this diet you can do anything!! I currently weigh less than I did when I was 16! And I am 54!!

You are in the right place!! Just stay focused day in and day out and you will be at 95 pounds very quickly!! 

This one  is from outside this community but to me it explains why we are here and why we come back!!

Was trying to post a funny gif that I saw, but don’t know how??

I lost 112 pounds very quickly on 5BD in 2014. But, never hit my goal. I kept it off for a while and then it started to creep back on. I never read the maintenance section of the book because I never hit my goal. I did try various other diets after this one including keto, but nothing works for me like this diet does! For me, it is all about…[Read more]

“It’s really fun and exciting. Each day You can’t wait to see how these changes are going to affect  you. How much better you’re going to look and feel and how your clothes are going to fit.” – Dr.Lewis

I love this quote today because yesterday I pulled out my summer clothes! Talk about exciting! The clothes I wore last summer are falling of…[Read more]
