Today was good. I kept to the one plate method at meals, but i did indulge in my Sunday School weekly coffee cake! also had a few other treats, but didn't stuff myself. I almost don't want to indulge tomorrow simply because i am wanting to get back to no-s days. :D We are going to a bbq at a friends...

I have noticed this last week at dinner time that I am getting a full feeling sooner. Usually about half way through my dinner I start to get full (not stuffed, just comfortable), and this on top of already having a "reduced" dinner by No-S standards. :D Is anyone else experiencing this? It is such ...

Today was a good day, especially considering it is an S-day. :D All of my meals were one plate only. And my snacks were few. B: 2 pc. wheat toast w/peanut butter 1 banana green tea L: 1 small chili (Wendy's...ok, don't go there about the chili! :twisted: ) 1 fruit cup 1 large diet pepsi S: 1 Babe Ru...

I am also learing to just let S-days be "days". Today i went to Wendy's with my daughter for lunch. Instead of having fries, etc, I just had some chili and a fruit cup; not because i was trying to "be good", but that was really what i wanted. Usually i would have stuffed myself simply because I coul...

I know how you feel, the lure of ice cream is a strong one! I managed to dodge this particular bullet today as well. Great job on keeping your priority straight. You are worth it!

doulachic

Well, we didn't stay there to eat it, I made them take it to the van and then we got the heck outta there!

doulachic

You are doing so awesome! It's amazing how our stomaches don't need as much food as we think they do!

Keep up the good work.

Another Success! Today was a good day. I took the kids to town to do some clothes shopping (for camp, school, etc) so it was a long day, when we were done I took the kids to DQ for ice cream and I totally resisted the urge to join them! (I sooooo wanted a Moolatte!) I am so proud of myself for resis...

Today was a success! B: 2 pc wheat toast w/peanut butter green tea L: 1 tuna sandwich 1 small can mandarin oranges D: 1 frozen burrito (cooked of course! LOL) small serving chili w/cheese small serving mexi rice Exercise: 1 hour stationary bike Today went well, no sweet cravings thank goodness! I do...

doulachic

Deb, You are doing awesome! Don't ever doubt it. I have so enjoyed reading your posts since I have started this, you are an inspiration! As for the inches, great job! Sometimes i like to wrap the tape measure around my waist and set it to my old measurement just so i can see how far i've come (thoug...

How about NO SHAMING? Sometimes you can get off-plan and then think "Oh no! I've totally ruined my diet!" This is bad for self esteem and motivation. Let's learn to pick our selves up and go on instead of getting on the shame-wagon.

doulachic

I am also finding that my cravings for sweets are diminishing. And when I do have something, it just doesn't seem as good as it did before no-s. It's amazing really considering how addicted i was just a few weeks ago.

doulachic

Today was a good day, but i'm counting it as an S day (for Special Occasion) because it is my hubby's birthday! Maybe i will treat Saturday as a no-s day this week. B: 1 bowl of Cream of Wheat w/sugar/milk 1 piece of wheat toast w/butter green tea L: 1 ham sandwich 1 small apple D: Meal from mexican...

doulachic

wow! One week later and I have lost another 1.5 pounds! That makes a total of 5 pounds since starting NO-S! I'm hoping this fast loss will continue at least until i reach the 160's (169 would be REALLY welcome right now!) Hey, it's only 3.5 pounds away, it could happen! :wink: Keep up the good work ...

doulachic

This is true! The other day I noticed that my two sets of plates (two different designs) are a little different. They are both the same size dinner plate, but the rims are different. The rim on one is a little wider, so the actual "plating size" is smaller. I noticed this the other day, so i have be...

doulachic

Today was a success!! Yeah!! Also, my official weigh in was tonight and I have lost another 1.5 pounds! When I stepped on the scale I thought I would be the same-no loss or gain. I was so suprised! If I get back into the 160's (and finally lose what I have gained in the last few months--oh, don't as...

doulachic

Sounds like you are doing awesome! I so can't wait until our produce stand down the road opens! In just another week or two I will also be enjoying fresh veggies and fruits, much better than the stuff they have at the Wal-mart...shheeessshh! I have to weigh in tonight. I don't think the scale budged...

doulachic

Thanks for the encouragement Jan-Tz and Deb! (Deb, you crack me up!) I am feeling much better about it today, and I am more focused. I guess it was the old "diet" way of thinking, you know, like oh no now i've totally messed up my diet! I keep trying to get out of that mentality and just focus on th...

doulachic

Ok, today was a "slip-up". (i hate to use the word failure). I did not overeat on regular food, but i had sweets. But tomorrow is a new day, so i will just start over fresh. I am feeling a bit disappointed in myself as i feel the "old ways" tugging at me, but i refuse to give in and give up! Oh, i d...

doulachic

I did a general google for no-s, just to make sure it worked because i was telling a friend about this site but couldn't remember the exact address, so i told her to google it....anyhoo, i couldn't believe how many sites popped up mentioning no-s! mostly all positive. Hey, your idea IS getting out t...

doulachic

Welcome Judy! I am also new to the No-S lifestyle. I have been doing it for about 2 weeks now, and I love it! I think you will be pleasantly suprised by the simplicity of this plan. Yes, it really is that easy! For years, people have been telling us to just "eat less, move more", but the no-s plan a...

doulachic

hey all! Well i survived my S weekend with not too much damage. I did eat quite a bit of sweets (those darn cookie bars! LOL) but I am looking forward to getting back to those no-s days this week. I am feeling quite a bit better so I will try to get some exercise done tomorrow, I'll just see how it ...

doulachic

Today has been a good no-s day. :D I actually planned what I wanted for a sweet snack during the week and I made it today. Yummy! ( I think I had a little too many though. :wink: ) But I am done eating for the night. I did pretty good on my meals though, no seconds and decent portions. B: 2 pc toast...

doulachic

ClickBeetle, I would love to have some extra support! I would like to get down to at least 150, as I was down there before and felt pretty good. 145 would be better, but right now I'll take what I can get. :D My doctor set my goal weight at 135! I'm like, uumm, I don't THINK so! Maybe if I was still...

doulachic

Reinhard, i do know that it won't always be that much weight loss in a week (darn it all! :lol: ), but thanks for the reminder. about two years ago, i was almost 200 pounds. i managed to lose about 30 pounds, but then i got so sick of dieting that i decided i'd had it! i've just tried to "eat normal...

Today went well. A success! B: 2 pc toast with peanut butter 6 apricot halves L: 1 grilled cheese sandwich 1 apple D: Tuna casserole green beans 5 saltine crackers (ok, i did this while waiting for dinner to cook!) 2 large pieces of homemade bread w/butter (still working on portions) Exercise: 1 hou...

ClickBeetle,
I'm ok if i eat pancakes, etc in the afternoon or evening, but i just can't seem to eat anything with sugar first thing in the morning. Not even cinnamon roll, or sugared cereal. it just makes me feel sick. strange, huh?

doulachic

Well, i did not get a chance to post yesterday because i was attending a birth for most of the day. So i will post yesterdays' results now, and today's results tonight. Make sense? :D Okay, yesterday was a success for the most part. B: 2 pieces toast with peanut butter 6 apricot halves L: 1 piece ca...

Ok, i went in tonight for my official weekly weigh-in at my TOPS (Taking Off Pounds Sensibly) group. And i have lost 3 1/2 pounds this week!!! :shock: You have to understand that i have been on a gaining streak for the last month or so. The only thing that i have done differently is that last Tuesda...

Today went pretty well. I did have a raspberry smoothie at about 1 pm at the coffee house because it was my usual monday coffee hour with friends. But i didn't have the usual muffin! I should have stuck to a lowfat mocha, but for some reason i wanted to try something new, and it was sooo hot today! ...

I started No-sing on Tuesday, June 14, 2005. Here are my starting stats: Weight: 177.5 lbs Height: 5' 5" (can't change this, unfortunatly! :wink: ) Long term goal weight: 145 lbs I have been doing this successfully for about a week now, and i love it! I just had my first weekend of S-days, and they ...

doulachic

Thanks Debbie! I LOVE my job!! well, it looks like my weekend has gone pretty well. i have had a few goodies, but not a ton. and i have stuck to the "no seconds" at mealtime even though i had two s-days. and i am not dreading the no-s days because i know i can have anything i want if i wait 5 measly...

Hi everyone, Well, i have been a lurker on this site for quite some time now, and just decided this week to give this a try.
