Fri 7/15 and Sat 7/16...success days 1 and 2.

Okay, I am ready to get back on track. Hurricane Dennis knocked down a few of our trees and we lost power for only 3 days. But, house, kids and animals all okay. So, I am ready to No-S it again and am starting my 21 Day Challenge TODAY!! Day 1........ Judy Thanks guys for wishing me luck--looks like...

Well, I have been pretty good at nossing the past few days. Had out of town guests and have been out and about with them so meals have been somewhat disorganized and unplanned and a little snacky but I have not had sweets or intentional snacks. Otherwise, i am in the middle of the strike zone for Hu...

Sat, Sun, Mon--days 2,3,and 4, "s" days. They were good but I did not really over-stuff myself. Did not eat just because I could but really enjoyed the food-involved celebrating we did with church and friends. Let's see.....after church potluck lunch on Sunday, friends over for Mexican on Sunday nig...

Sibyl--I like reading about your steadfast progress here, but I especially like the picture of the bunny with the pancake on his head!

Great to read how you have done so far! Enjoy your weeknd!

Congrats to all you 21-dayers! I did not see this thread until today. I am going to try to join you in 20 days!\question--do your s days count? or do we just count to successful no-s days in adding up our 21?

Kevin--awesome progress with the weight loss, no-ssing and especially managing the blood sugar as well. Thanks for all the posts and I look forward to reading your weekly check-ins!

Dru--congrats on making it 21 days a few days ago! Sounds like you have made some excellent changes and news habits! I think you mentioned issues with th scale in your posts--I am with ya there. In fact I got messed up for a day a few days beck from weighing myself and then feeling stresssed and sor...

Tricia--Great job resisting the DQ yesterday and enjoy your s day today!!

Deb--I am just reading through some daily check-ins and wanted to say "hi"! Your journey into no-s land is fun and inspiring to read!

Dang. gave in to the mid-morning munchies yesterday and grazed the rest of the day. Hmmm....why? Well, one thing I did was weigh myself. I have been avoiding the scale b/c of the emotional turmoil but decided to weigh yesterday so that I would have an acurate starting point. Well...as always I hated...

For me an important one would be no sneaking!! This would mean fix the food, put it on the plate, eat it at the table WITH my family.

Y'all have come up with some great tips!
(hope the color comes out right...)

Thanks all who have checked in on me to offer tips and support. Yesterday went well, but had the same frenzied feeling around dinner prep and ate as I was fixing for everyone else. I must strive to actually get the food on the plate today!! I will set out my coffee or other drink to sip plus a pack ...

My experience goes along with Peetie's....exercise is more of an added bonus but does little to actually get the weight to go down. (Is that something like what she said?) I do like to exercise a bit though. But, I feel that the key for me will be the simple structure and portion control of no-sing ...

Ahhh....my first day no-sing on a no-s day. Ate great, felt great. However got too hungry just before dinner time and ate (scarfed) some of my meal while preparing the rest. Need to work on volume and timing of lunch meal to tide me over til dinner so as to avoid my usual pitfall of afternoon hungry...

Sunday 6/26--First day, an S day, but none-the-less a great success for me as it only included the S's of a few extra bites at dinner (not even full seconds!) and a moderate slice of my dad's 70th b-day cake! Looking forward to today being a true NO-S day for me!!

Thanks for the welcomes, tips and encouragment! I got through the first day but it was and S day--Sunday (duh) plus my dad's 70th b-day. But, my S's were only a few extra bites at dinner and 1 moderate slice of cake. Otherwise a moderate breakfast and lunch with no other S's. So, that is a great sta...

Hey --I am jumping on board here with the NoS lifestyle...so glad I found you! I am a wife of 1 and mom of 3 with 50 (yes, count 'em, 50!) pounds to lose at 5'3" and 180. How did this happen??!! Well, I am ready to un-happen it and get fit and healthy again and be a lot more fun and energetic for my...
