Hello Guys and Gals (Wasn't that a musical??? No, Guys and Dolls...) Anyway, I lost another 1.5 pounds. We had a Boxing Day party at our home on, well, Boxing Day and a friend who I hadn't seen since May told me that I look like I've lost weight. I remember Navin, along time ago, said that he was lo...

Hi Deb. I'm so glad to hear things are going well with business. That is exciting. Yes, you cannot stay out until 3 am and then get up and go to work. Since I have had the puppy I have been really tired. It is like having a new baby again. So, I can relate to the fatigue. Plus, this is a very frenet...

It is Saturday night and I have decided that I don't like See's candy anymore. We gave away all the milk chocolates and all the nuts and chews. The only boxes left are soft centers and they are just gross. You never know what you are biting into with soft centers. Why doesn't See's put a menu on the...

Hi Sunny Day!!! I know what you mean about skinny jeans being out of style. My levis from a few years ago seem so high on my waist. Better still, I can barely wear my trendy jeans from a few months ago. They are so loose that I have plumber's butt. :oops: Just bought a pair of Nordy's line in a size...

Just a quick update: last night was my wedding anniversary. Although my husband and I had an amazing meal we skipped dessert on his suggestion. He said, "We have so many holiday dinners and parties, let's just wait to eat dessert on Saturday". I was shocked. I mean I think he is becoming a No-eser b...

cholesterol dropped
Hello Reinhard et. all. Last fall I had a blood profile that showed my cholesterol at 203. It worried me because I used to have low cholesterol. I am happy to report that this year's blood profile showed my cholesterol at 188!! That is after doing No S for six months. (I tested right after Thanksgiv...

Hi CJ, long time no speak.... I understand about that stuff. Certain things trigger my desire for sweets. For some reason, when I eat persimmons I start craving sugar. Maybe they are just too sweet. I had a small problem last night with some bread that my husband brought home from Il Fornaio last ni...

Hi Sister. I am the same way on Mondays. Last Monday I opened the freezer and staring me in the face was the kid's Dreyer's Ice Cream.

One of my first jobs when I was 15 was at a Fish and Chips place. I could only take it for a few months as the grease and the smell got to me. I'm happy that...

Hello you Shameless Hussey (love the name! LOL)
Before I got rid of all my DIEt books I wrote "www.nosdiet.com" inside the front of each book. It made me feel better to know that while I was passing along a diet book it also contained a message of hope.
Liberating to toss them isn't it?
