Sunday 17 Feb - Day 6 - Success (sort of!!!) Found it quite difficult today, due to switching S days I think. Also I had a really early lunch about 11am as we were going out and I didn't want to get caught out and the rest of the family decide to to to MacDonalds or some other fast food place becaus...
Hi Reinhard, my current weight is 168lbs and I would like to get to about 140 -148lbs. I will try not to be discouraged if the loss slows down to half a pound a week, as long as it just goes down. I am trying not to weigh myself all the time, just every 21 days, I will record any losses or gains on ...
Hi Reinhard, thanks for the welcome back. Well so far so good, I always find the first 21 days the easiest, but then things start to get a little difficult, but I am determined this time to carry on and not stray. Thursday 7th February - Day 18 - Success Friday 8th February - Day 19 - I am going to ...
Day 5 - Friday 25 Jan - Success :D So far so good - have found this easy so far - but I have now reached my two S days, I think it will probably benefit me if I stay away from sweet food, when I don't eat any chocolate etc I don't miss it, but as soon as I have a taste, then I usually want some more...
Hi Everyone, I'm back again too, I started yesterday after being lured away for a while on Slimming World, but its just all too complicated compared to No S. I started again yesterday and this is now day 2. I'm ready for the 21 day challenge.
Hello everyone I am back again :oops: !!!! This time I am definately going to stick to it and not be seduced away by the quick fix diets that keep beckoning me from the pages of magazines, newspapers and bookshops (except the NO S Book of course). Will get my order in for a copy of the book as soon ...
Hi thanks for the welcome back. I think I'm eating enough, as I'm not feeling hungry and I'm not having dainty little portions, I am definately filling my plate!!! This week hasn't been usual as its school holidays here in the UK and I am out of my usual routine - hence the cereal for breakfast and ...
I agree entirely with you Deb. As soon as a someone tells me what I can or can't eat then I start obsessing about that food. That is the beauty of this plan, no hard and fast rules (apart from the No S bit), so if I want to eat baked potato for breakfast, lunch and dinner I can - I don't have to sta...
Hi everyone Haven't been here for a while (not since last August) so I am now starting all over - have strayed and tried other diets, but dieting just doesn't work for me (I don't consider No S a diet really as no foods are banned or labelled as bad etc.). Have put on a few pounds so need to lose th...
Hi Reinhard, I have been absent for a long while, but have decided to come back to the only sane and sensible diet around. I am so pleased for you about the book - you truely deserve it. Many many congratulations.
Day 1 Tues 8 Aug - SUCCESS Breakfast - oat cereal with skimmed milk and cup of tea Lunch - Wholemeal pitta bread with tuna, sweetcorn light mayo and chilli flakes - cup of tea Dinner - Salad with apple, celery, carrots, tomato and spices and mixed nuts. Greek Yogurt Have not been drinking enough las...
I would definately keep going on the No S Plan - this isn't a faddy diet just a sensible healthy eating plan and that can only benefit you and your baby. Obviously if you need to snack then do, just try to make it as healthy as possible.
Well I had my two S days and then added a 3rd yesterday - so big failure for me. Think I'm going to start over and make today Day 1 again. I had started to get a bit lapse at posting and that really isn't doing me any favours and even though it is a bit tedious I am going to record what I'm eating, ...
Well done Deb - just shows that it does work it you stick to it. I haven't lost anything in weeks stuck at 157lbs, just on a plateau at the moment, hopefully soon I will start losing again. It seems whenever I have been on a diet in the past I get to about this weight and then can't lose anymore. Bu...
Thanks Pangelsue, but I've got to be honest and the last week hasn't been quite as good, I have been so busy that I haven't had time to post and I have been snacking a bit. I think the reason was that it has been so hot here that I haven't wanted proper meals, so instead of having three proper meals...
Thanks Reinhard - I'm only doing so well though, because your plan is so brilliant - this is the longest time ever that I have been able to stick at any sort of healthy eating plan. It has now really become a way of life, and I intend to stick with it for ever. Friday 14 July - Day 52 - Success Satu...
Day 51 - Thurs 13 July Success Breakfast - Slimfast shake Lunch - wholemeal pitta bread stuffed with houmus and salad Dinner - homemade lasagne and salad Have been trying to drink loads of water lately - I can just about manage to drink between 60-90 ozs every day. Just lately I have completely gone...
LOL I know what you mean about what hard work they are. When I got pregnant everyone was telling what hard work a baby was - well let me tell you something, a baby is easy compared to a puppy. Babies dont run about, babies wear diapers, babies don't have teeth and don't chew the furniture and babies...
I've got a Great Dane - she was 1 year old last week. Its great having a dog because you have to walk them whether you feel like it or not, and it gives a purpose to your walk, so you don't feel like you are aimlessly wandering around. Also dogs are great icebreakers, I have made loads of friends ov...
Hi Deb, thanks for the kind words - hope you are well. We are all fine and Amy is keeping me busy as usual - she never sits still and has so many sports that she is into the latest is Archery which she started 3 weeks ago, but she also does judo, diving and horseriding. Wish I knew where she gets al...
Well I have now been doing No S for 42 days (so far no failures) I think I am going to follow Pangelsue and Debs ideas of just counting the days consecutively now. Here's my progress for anyone that may be interested Start weight on 24 May 162.5lbs Todays weight 5 July 157lbs Total lost so far 5.5lb...
My second visit to the 21 Day Club - have now been doing No S for 42 consecutive days - I love this plan. Here's my progress for anyone that may be interested Start weight on 24 May 162.5lbs Todays weight 5 July 157lbs Total lost so far 5.5lbs Not a fast loss, but definately a loss and I am more of ...
Hi Donna You could try looking at the Shangri La Diet - this is a plan which has been devised by a Professor called Seth Roberts where you use Extra Light Olive Oil as an appetite suppressor. You could use it in conjuction with No S. I think a few No Sers use this - may one of them could give you a ...
Friday 30 June Success Breakfast - banana smoothie with a spoonful of peanut butter added to it - really yummy. Lunch - half can of tuna mixed with some low fat mayo and half can of mixed salad beans - added a spoonful of mixed nuts and seeds and black pepper. Yogurt Dinner - Vegetable dhansak with ...
Well yesterday (which was an S day anyway) I had some icecream (greek yogurt and honey flavour) it was devine - in the past I wouldn't have had it because it was "fattening" - yesterday I ate it guilt free and throughly enjoyed it. Oh the freedom No S brings.
Glad you'e enjoying your walks Deb. I love walking - which is just as well having such a big dog. Still when you have a dog it does mean you have to get off your backside and walk even when you can think of a hundred other things you could be doing. My problem now is that since I got my great dane, ...
Hi Deb - glad you had a good one. Kids are wonderful arn't they - once upon a time, I thought I didn't want any - but my Ami came along 8 years ago (totally unplanned) and I think to myself everyday - thank god she did - I would have missed out on so much she is such a blessing. Now when I hear peop...
Not posted on the Urban Ranger board before, so thought I would just share with you all what I do each day - as far as walking is concerned. I've been a Urban Ranger for years - the reason being is I have a dog, and dogs need walks. Upto last year I had two labradors but due to advancing years and v...
Hi Pangelsue, sounds like you have had a lovely day. Well done on todays success and thanks for the kind words over on my check in. With regards to my different meals - most of them have one thing in common - they are very easy and require very few cookery skills - I'm basically very lazy when it co...
Day 9a - Thurs 22 June Success Breakfast - Banana cut in half with a little peanut butter spread on it Lunch - Baked Sweet Potato with Houmous mashed into it and some salad, two small peaches Dinner - Salad made with a chopped up apple, celery, a tablespoon of mixed nuts and seeds, fat free cottage ...
I understand what you mean. Quite often I don't feel hungry in the morning, on days like those I either skip breakfast altogether, or I will eat a piece of fruit, or have a liquid breakfast (fruit smoothie or a slimfast shake). I just can't force food down if I'm not hungry. This doesn't make me eat...
Day 8a (Wed 21 June) - Success (I think) Breakfast - banana Lunch - granary roll with some salad and a little cheese, Fat Free Yogurt Dinner - Chilli and Brown Rice (again) fresh apricots Today was a success but I made a mistake, I didn't have enough to eat at breakfast (at about 8am, then I was rea...
Thanks pangelsue - goodness never been called awesome or inspiring before :lol: but its the No S Diet and Reinhard that deserves the praise - i'm just following the rules. This is such a great plan that I just feel that I can't fail on it - its the first diet that I have ever done that I feel I can ...
Day 4a - S Day Went to friends for the day, so had to eat what they were preparing, but I had a little of everything (even dessert) as it would have been rude not to. It was so great that I could do this without thinking that I had failed, I think this was the first time that I had really taken adva...
Thanks operababe - you too - i've been reading your threads. Anyway Day 3a - bit of a funny day today - didn't want any breakfast - I think because I had dinner a lot later the night before so wasn't hungry. Lunch - Went out to lunch with Mr Daisy to a Chinese Buffet restaurant - but was pretty good...
