SOMETIMES Crusaders, now is the time to RISE UP! To all those who believe in the Alwaysian mantras - you are all blasphemers and heretics! There is only one true and living NoS, and it states "except (sometimes) on days that start with 'S'. Sometimesians, we must unite to fight the infidels! Always...

For me, mid-afternoon snacking had become a habit. I used to brew a pot of tea around 2 p.m. and then have something sweet with it. In days past I would have cookies, etc., usually more than planned - hey, it's a big pot of tea! When I was trying to "diet" I would try to be satisfied with a piece of...

That's interesting. I didn't realize there had been a *sometimes* in there. I like that, though. I re-committed this past Friday - right before the weekend S days. And on Sunday, for whatever reason, I didn't feel like having any sweets, snacks or seconds. I almost felt guilty for skipping them! I t...

I'm a a big fan of John McCann's Steel Cut Irish Oatmeal. I make a big batch (1 cup dried oats with 4 cups of boiling water). It takes 1/2 hour to cook, but it makes enough for 4 days. (1 cooked cup/serving). I just microwave it on subsequent days. It's delicious and I don't need to add milk or crea...

Wonderful thread with lots of thoughtful responses and suggestions. I don't have a whole lot to add as I'm just getting back to this again after a one week or so lapse. :roll: I do agree that N days at home can be difficult. I am a stay-at-home mom and find that when I am not busy (especially in the...

Thanks for the encouragement! I wish I had looked at the boards and posted several days ago and stopped my over-eating back then. (Mental note: next time I feel like binging or snacking or sweet-ing, read boards and post for encouragement!) And I have kept up with the exercise. For some reason I fin...

Welcome - and thanks for posting! Reading through these has helped me to decide to get back on board and give this another shot. I went through several days of overeating - and have that horrible bloated, mad-at-myself feeling. But I am going to brush myself off and start over. I think I'd better ig...

Frustrated with myself...
The past couple of weeks have been hard. I'm not real sure why. I guess with Easter and cooking for guests and chocolate bunnies I just overdid everything. :oops: I feel like this diet is the best, most sensible way to eat. But. I really would like to lose the weight fast and then keep it off by eat...

Thanks for the encouragement, jumpinjan! Yesterday, 3/18, was NOT a good day. :( I had too many errands to do to prepare for Easter and no energy or motivation. I ate a big bowl of icecream - a snack and a sweet - and didn't exercise at all. :shock: But. Yesterday is over. Today I can start fresh an...

I forgot about this thread! But I'm done my first week of no essing - and successfully! I followed the rules exactly and am down 2 pounds! I am also exercising regularly. I started a running program about 6 weeks ago and am now running 2 miles at a time on the treadmill 3 days a week. So the combo o...

Welcome! I must say, I enjoyed your post and the history of "how you got to where you are". Your story really emphasized a lot of the no s philosophy. I'm new here as well - just finished one week. I'm down 2 pounds, but I'm also exercising (started running recently). It's good to see the scale go d...

Visualization technique that helps (me)
I want to share something that I read on some other board somewhere. It's not my original idea, but I've been borrowing it because I find this visualization tip very helpful and inspiring. Losing weight and getting healthy are like being on a bridge. Staying true to the No S rules means I'm crossing...

2poodles daily check-in
New here - started 3/7/08 in the evening. 3/8 and 3/9 were S days. 3/10, 3/11, and 3/12 were successful N days. I'm finding this surprisingly easy so far. I'm hoping it's not just because it's a new program and I'm still in the "honeymoon" phase.... Not worrying too much about what I eat at meal tim...

Welcome! I'm new, too. I started on Friday evening and then immediately went on to S days! Great way to start! :D So far, so good today. I had a big bowl of oatmeal w/nuts and raisins for breakfast and then a plate of food (left-over chinese food plus an apple) for lunch. I usually get munchy later ...

Brand New Here -- just came across the book
Hi all! I was browsing through Barnes and Noble yesterday and this book caught my eye. Since I seem to "collect" diet books, I bought this one. After reading it -- I'm hoping it'll be my last! THANK YOU so much for writing such a common sense book! I need to lose about 20 pounds or so. I've been wor...
