mama-g, I think you are going to win the challenge. (At very least, I am pulling for you to win it!) :D I feel sad for the fellow who is trying to eat only fruits and veggies. It reminds me of a man who used to substitute teach at the middle school where I worked about 15 years ago. One day I said, ...

I'm a country bumpkin, too, and this discussion has renewed my faith in the world. I have decided I am going to become a rural ranger. :) I think that the reason that I have resisted it until now, is because in the country you really CAN'T walk many places as a mode of transportation. I live 5 miles...

I want to make my addition to the collection of recipes here. Something that everyone in my family likes is "Cornie Beanie Weinies." Heat together 1 can of baked beans 1 can of whole kernel corn 1 pound of frankfurters (cut in pieces) This is sort of a stand by in our house. I mean, we usually have ...

Kathleen, I'm in the same place as your husband. Two years ago I weighed 210, and over the past years it has slowly crept up to 229. That is the most I have ever weighed. I gained 3 pounds over the holidays. I am not morbidly obese yet--I am 6 feet tall--but if I keep heading the direction that I am...

I know I am a newbie (and so I don't have a lot of room to make "special requests") but it would sure please me if somebody typed out the recipes for the depression meals. Or, at least if someone could type out the gist of them. I live in rural Mississippi, and we only have dial-up internet availabl...

I'm now in ONEderland...
I was excited today to see that I am in "ONEderland", i.e., I now weigh less than 200 pounds. 199.5 pounds to be exact. I have been nosing for 35 days, and has gotten easier. Most days it doesn't seem like that big of a deal! I started out weighing 212 pounds. (This was at night, with my clothes and...

In my limited experience, the "three MEALS" component of no-s kind of takes kind of takes care of my junk food consumption. Personally, I just don't have the guts to fill a sizeable portion of my plate with junk. I am only going to get three plates of food a day, so I have to plan ahead so I don't g...

Welcome aboard! I'm new here, too...just 14 days of no-s-ing under my belt. But, so far, so good! I think that you will find the folks on the bulletin board to be very kind and helpful--and a useful source of encouragement on our new venture. I am looking forward to reading your postings! blessings,...

Something wonderful I see in all this is that no-s is very adaptable to each person's life situation. Rose has her rules concerning hot chocolate and bananas (and I think they are good rules), and Reinhard has his "glass ceiling". Being a Christian Church minister, I must obey my denomination's rule...

Good morning, Hectarin! And welcome to no-s! I don't have much to add to answer your question, because in my book, rose has done a good job. I try to follow Reinhard's explanation of "sweets" on the nosdiet page. Rose, I want to ask you a question just out of nosey curiosity. Why do you treat a bana...

Thanks for sharing the great article. It really goes to show how the American mindset is firmly entrenched that obesity is caused by everything outside of willpower and that it can be solved without willpower. Several years ago we went on vacation to St. Louis. We went to watch the Cardinals play th...

Water
I am interested to know what everyone's personal plan is when it comes to drinking water each day. The old rule of thumb was 8 glasses a day. When I was doing Weight Watchers, the conventional wisdom was 1 ounce for every 2 pounds of body weight. At the time that came up to 105 ounces of water a day...

Thanks for the good news--you are an encouragement to us all. Also, it is good to know from your experience that "it gets easier, early." Your experience with nos is confirming what I am dealing with now--quite a bit of the "food" problem has to do with the way one deals with stress, angst, anxiety,...

Joining the group!
Good morning to all! :) I've given the NoS plan a bit of a try in the past, but today I believe I'm signing on for real. What I've been doing hasn't been working for me, and I've recently gained 5 pounds. (I am 6 feet tall, and presently, 212 pounds.) I am not obese yet, but if I keep on the way I a...
