Monday June 20th: Success Tuesday: Success, Wednesday: Success, Thursday: Failure Thursday I was accidentally served a sweet ice tea instead of an unsweetened one, and of course, I drank it. But then, I made things worse by having a piece of blueberry pie and later that night I had a coca cola. It ...

Thanks for your encouragement Ladybird. I did better the next few days, and I didn't overdo it on the S Days. I enjoyed myself, but I didn't feel the need to stuff myself. This morning (Monday) I weight approximately 190 pounds. So, that's a two pound loss. I'm really doing very well overall. Just f...

I agree with Skeleton. You are an inspiration. I now know, I need to focus on days on habit and not on the end result to get where I want to be. Your the best Ladybird. I always feel better after reading one of your posts. Thank You for being you.

God Bless

Thanks everyone for your support. It really helps. I know I have to take this one day at a time. Last week was pretty good.

This sounds like something you can do forever if you modify it. That's so great!

I'm amazed that you can avoid snaking on the weekends too! You're doing great. Keep it up!

Thanks to everyone who's been checking in with me. It's a real help. Again another challenging week, but it's getting easier.

Saturday June 4th: S Day

I've started eating more at meals and I'm trying to slow my weight loss down. I realize this is not a race. My highest weight ever was 230 pounds, and when I started No S this go around I was heading back up towards 230 again. I'm trying to get down to 180. Granted, I should probably weight about 14...

I'm exercising too, but I try to keep it reasonable. My deal is that I only exercise on N Days at least 15 minutes and no more than an hour. That way I'm always getting something in even if it's hectic and I'm never exercising excessively. Mostly I either walk (traditionally or with walking videos)....

I've had a rough week. I've felt hungry between meals in a way that was excessive. I need to find the sweet spot between eating enough without overeating. I took one non-weekend S Day this week for a birthday party. Despite the strain of the week, I managed to get through it without any failures, bu...

Hi Amy,

Where did you begin at weight wise? I wonder why you feel the need for further restrictions? It seems like you've done wonderfully.

Thank you for your post Amy. It's been a challenge, but it's getting easier. I'm just taking it one day at a time.

I read a book years ago called Thin Within that tries to teach you to eat when only hungry, but I don't think it's practical. I don't think intuitive eating is practical either. I've found it's much easier for me to eat a reasonable amount of food at regular mealtimes. I'm finding I'm now hungry whe...

I've been doing the No S Diet for a few weeks, but I just started tracking. It's simple, but it's not always easy! :D Sunday May 1st: S Day Monday: Success, Tuesday: Success, Wednesday: Success, Thursday: Success, Friday: Success Saturday May 7th: S Day Sunday May 8th: S Day Monday: Success, Tuesday...

Oh, Okay.

I thought this was where people were suppose to post.

My Bad! LOL!

If you could fail an S Day, I would have failed Saturday. I'm still hanging in there. I can'...

I find I wasn't waiting long enough to find out if I was hungry. Real hunger is unmistakable. I have a grumbling in my stomach. Now that I'm only having three meals a day, I find that I'm good and hungry for them. I actually wake up hungry for breakfast, which didn't happen before, because I was alw...

I'm new and want to post for last week.

I just need to get through today and I'm home free for the weekend! Hooray! :D Peace O...

Oolala53, I've been reading Clower's work, and I'm struck by how moderate the French are about eating. That's what I'm aiming for with sugar. Personally I don't use sugar substitutes, but I am trying to reduce my sugar intake by having only a small size dessert on S Days. I've tried cutting out suga...

I've started reading The Beck Diet Solution, and I find it also very diety.

After reading these comments, I just ordered the Fat fallacy from Amazon! Sounds interesting. Used and free shipping it was only$4.99 ( before tax). I just ordered a used copy of The Fat Fallacy from Amazon too. I enjoyed The French Don't Diet Plan so much, I wanted to read his first book. I think ...

I just bought The Beck Diet Solution. I haven't had a chance to read it yet. But it should be interesting to see how it intersects with No S.

I'm reading Clower's book The French Don't Diet Plan. He covers slowing down when you eat and taking smaller bites, and I was reminded of looking at a man in a restaurant taking huge bites as he ate. I remember hoping I didn't look like that when I ate. Now I realize I probably do! Now I'm trying to...

My Anne Barcone book Chic & Slim: How Those Chic French Women Eat All That Rich Food And Still Stay Slim is suppose to arrive today. And it's just in time for my 40th birthday. I get a S day today for my birthday. So far I haven't gone overboard. Will see how I do at the Olive Garden tonight.

Thank you for the warm welcome Elizabeth50. I finished another successful N day, and read some more of French Women Don't Get Fat. I"m also reading her book, French Women Don't Get Facelifts The books are fun reads, but some of the advice has to be taken with a grain of salt.

I'm new to the No S Diet. I'm on my third N day. So far it's not that bad. I can see myself doing this for life. I'm also reading French Women Don't get Fat, and I ordered Anne Barcone's books and William Clower's book. I find the French ethos of enjoying your food to fit well with the No S Diet, an...
