Okie dokie, three weeks on NoS are in the bag. Zero failures, one planned S day that ended up being not-so-S. Had to institute a bedtime snack because I couldn't sleep otherwise. Aaaaaand... 206. I'm up a pound. I am coming off the weekend, and also off my period. And I'm going to weigh myself Tuesd...

I saw that in your thread, Octavia , and if I hadn't been so tired I would have replied: you sound like you were EXACTLY like me. Worried about fainting, haha. I've had times in my life when I would walk, fast, for an hour every day, but I always had a snack beforehand so I wouldn't have blood sugar...

DAY 19: SUCCESS I didn't think it would be, for a while. Breakfast was two hours earlier than usual and lunch was scanty. I thought for sure I'd need an afternoon snack, but I got by with an early glass of milk and a later glass of wine. No snacks. I didn't even suffer much. My body has learned to c...

Thanks, lpearlmom. I see you had a significant weight loss in 2015...what prompted that? Was it just a matter of getting in the NoS groove? Anyway, we're back from our mini-vacay. Day 13: S DAY Day 14: S Day Day 15: S Day ( ? ) Yesterday I decided to take as an S day because we were out enjoying our...

DAY 12: SUCCESS ( ? ) Another day that was a success other than eating a couple bites to make my kid happy. Food isn't just fuel, it's an integral part of human bonding, and I'm not going to refuse a couple mini-pretzels from my kid on a special day out. If that makes the day a failure then it was a...

I had a yoga instructor who berated people who try to master meditation and higher mental stuff like that before they'd mastered basic yoga positions. "You want to control your mind? You can't even control your body!" Somewhere Reinhard says something similar. Learn to control this basic stuff like ...

I definitely have episodes of hypoglycemia, and over the years I've learned to distinguish three kinds of hunger: low blood sugar hunger, empty belly hunger, and actual calorie deficit hunger. Low blood sugar comes with a spacy sense of unreality. Empty belly hunger is growling and cramping. Real ca...

Day 9: SUCCESS The hunger wasn't quite as bad today. Certainly my mouth didn't water as much. Breakfast was too thin, so I was ravenous in the morning, but my lunch and dinner both lasted a good 3-4 hours before I started feeling hungry again. So maybe this is just an adjustment period. I don't thin...

Haha, not a thin person. Female, late 30s, 5'6", 205 pounds. I have an advantage in never having succeeded at severe calorie restriction diets, so I've never slowed my metabolism down that way. My FitBit says I burn between 2300 and 2400 calories on a normal day (though gardening season is coming up...

Last week I was indeed waking up ravenous. Being hungry right away in the morning has always been my metric for identifying calorie deficits, so that part was great, but the not-sleeping part took a serious toll. Dinner is often 4-5 hours before my bedtime, and for various family reasons I can't see...

I am four pounds down from my first weigh-in, back in January. I feel as if my body is made of stone, and No S is a drip of water....making an impact with painful slowness. Still making an impact though, and that makes it worth it. Better than gaining! It must be a comfort to be sure that your weig...

You can tell I grew up in a big family - cooking for one does not come naturally to me. But that's what freezers are for, and most of the portions are frozen with rice so extremely easy dinners. I don't think it comes naturally to anyone. Anyway, if you live by yourself, you need lots of freezer me...

Hi there! Probably you've already written about this, but can you share with me your water-drinking strategies? I have a similar strategy, but the habits aren't there yet. I'm curious what people do about water, too. Drinking fluids speeds up the rate at which your stomach empties, which means it m...

Monday Monday. I caught up on sleep over the weekend, which helped the headache and irritability. Day 7: S DAY Day 8: SUCCESS ( ? ) Okay. My young daughter, who has had a lot of disappointments lately and who has gotten clingy, really wanted me to eat some Pez with her. So I ate about six pieces of ...

osoniye , adding more low-calorie foods seems counterintuitive if I'm having satiation problems, but I have experienced in the past that whatever fiber/water/nutrients vegetables offer will actually increase the satiation factor of a meal. I will be more conscious of including veg in my meals in th...

Thank you both for your replies. Maybe some of my plates haven't had enough fat on them to get the calorie count where it should be. Breakfast has been two eggs, fruit, and some kind of carb--oatmeal, whole wheat rolls, shredded wheat. One lunch was lots of sushi and an orange--not much fat there. A...

Friyay's check in
Hello, all. I began No S for the first time on Monday. So far my record is: Day 1: SUCCESS Day 2: SUCCESS Day 3: SUCCESS Day 4: SUCCESS All that green is nice. Food tastes better, and it is so freeing to be able to eat whatever sounds good for each meal (except for sweets, of course). I have been so...
