Re: Who is losing weight doing No S?
After the first year of the pandemic I realized that I had 20 lbs to lose. I decided to work on one pound a month - I'm down my 20 and it has been a ride of realizing where my mind goes to make a bargain with myself to just eat. It is insane on how your mind can override your body. I liked the advic...

I love NOS and how I feel successful is every month is I have to lose 2.5 lbs -- that equals 30 in a year. In my calendar I write the goal for the month and if I'm not at goal S days are just regular days. When weekend comes and I'm at goal I get ONE dessert or treat. This helps me feel more success...

New Way for ME
I have about 15 lbs to lose. I have done NOS for quite some time, but for the past few years....not so great. My take on NOS this time is three plates a day, but I can have anything.
