Is there any way to see all habits in one table view, for example if for the month you want to see all of your habits in just one table for the month? I'd like to be able to view all of my habits on just the one calendar month table.

I have this same problem with weekends and getting out of control, but I think I have found a solution. While I'm eating 3 healthy portioned meals (an 1 snack at bedtime due to diabetes), on the weekend (S days) I still get those meals in but they are not the balanced-type meals. For instance, for b...

I baked a turkey breast yesterday while I was watching the race so will have it today with a salad and some leftover augratin potatos, no bread since I'm having potatoes as my carb source. No dessert either!

Thanks so much for the info, will check it out!

Really interesting article, enjoyed reading and relating to it. For me it is true if you eat 25% of your food at breakfast, 50% of your food at lunch, and 25% at supper, then you're better able to resist temptation for snacks and seconds. When I eat a bigger lunch, I'm not so ravenous at dinner and ...

Hay, I was looking at my habitcal and noticed that there were 18 days colored in for the month (started no-s-ing on 4/7) and only 3 are red, and 2 of those red days, according to my check-in were failures, but not bad failures...only 1 was a bad failure in 18 days! I've had to start my 21-day regime...

Day 2/2 (day 2, second start) Wednesday SUCCESS BS was 119. Walked 10 minutes around parking lot today.

Amyg, is "The Secret" a book or magazine? I'd be interested in reading this.

Just last night my family commented that they had not had a pork roast in a long time, and wanted to know what was going on....lol. I always tended not to buy too much pork products in favor of chicken, fish, etc. They commented on how good all the food tasted (I too am an accomplished cook :wink: )...

I too graduated in 1979, and although was a fat kid, I've become an even fatter adult! When I separated from my first hubby in 2005 I was at a whopping 368 lbs. I'm now down to 272 (but my lowest was 250 when I remarried in 2007 - put back on about 30 lbs after going on insulin, taking off only abou...

Day 1 (Tuesday) Success but cautioned success. No late snack before bed though.

Tiffani,
This is really good, sound advice. I'm going to try the 1/3 plating and see if that helps me more than 1/4 protein, 1/4 carbs, and 1/2 fruits/vegies. Thanks

Day 14 (Monday) - FAILURE. I at half my son's egg sandwich before dinner (to keep it from being wasted) and a BIG bowl of cereal before bed. Sugar was 229 this morning. Big fat failure! Will do better tomorrow.

Some of the divided plates are bigger, but there are smaller ones too, the colored ones that are plastic are the same size as a regular dinner plate. I found divided dinner plates at the dollor tree that have lids. There is also a divided plate devised by a diet group that has sections labeled for p...

Day 11 - Friday SUCCESS . I know we are going on on Saturday so I'm looking forward to that. Day 12 - SDAY - Saturday. Had a few drinks and light dinner. No snacks or sweets though today. Day 13 - SDAY - ate Hummas and pita chips for snack today. Had 2 cheese sticks and jalapino poppers for lunch in...

Day 10 - Thursday - absolute success!! BS was great at 95 this a.m. Weight is down 0.5 lbs since 10 days ago. (I must weigh for chart to send to my doc.)

If you can find divided plates, even the paper ones, (I think it's Cornett) that have the 3 sections would help with portion control and food running together. I have plastic ones with lids that I use to take my lunch to work in and I just slide it in the mikey, it's real convenient and portions are...

Day 8 - Tuesday success although we went to Shoney's for dinner, I didn't have seconds or sweets. BS 132. Day 9 - Wednesday - Success again but instead of the milk at bedtime, DH brough home a ham/cheese subway and I only ate 1/2 of a 1/2, which is 3 inches. BS 135. Sugars are looking good.

If you are getting shaky then you might want to have your blood sugar checked. This is a sign of prediabetes and that you can combat now if you find out early that you have it. If your sugar is low (under 70) then you need a carbohydrate without any oils or fat in it...straight sugary stuff (orange ...

I do most all of my interneting at work because there is a high speed internet connection there...at home only have dial up and when I get home I don't have much time to get online. Also I am on computer all day at work, hard to get back on there at night or on weekends...pretty tired of looking at ...

That's a good idea Jill, I'll have to do that.

I do get the emails but I wish there was a different way to track as I cannot check my emails at work. Maybe some way to put the threads you've posted on in a user folder or something would be great!

I did do the milk last night before bed and my fasting blood sugar was 132 this morning. I think this will work for me, but I can't drink too much milk because I'm somewhat lactose intolerant, so maybe a little bit every other night. Will test it and see how it goes. Thanks again!

Day 4 Failure Had too much food today. Drug rep lunch at work, and then I couldn't stop. Tomorrow and Sunday are S days, but will try again for 3 plates on Monday. Day 5 S Day Day 6 S Day Day 7 Monday Success but with a bedtime snack. I think this is gonna be standard for me for a while and it needs...

Thank you for your help. I think I am going to use the "loophole" for the bedtime snack anyway so my numbers will be good in the a.m. but I'm going to make it something that is not a snacky, sweet type of thing, maybe milk and graham cracker or something like that. Will just keep on keepin' on....Th...

I did great on Saturday and even worked out in the pool for 80 minutes, had only 1 treat/snack at bedtime. Sunday was not so good...I at a late breakfast to begin with, and I wasn't hungry at lunch so skipped that. Ate treat/snack early everning and then very little dinner. A few hours after dinner ...

I am a diabetic on insulin and my doc has had me on the 3 meals, 3 snacks a day for a long time, which does control my sugar readings. I have been TRYING to do the NoS way for over a week now, and always at 11:30, 5:30, and 11:00 p.m. my body thinks it is supposed to have its snacks since I've been ...

I am a diabetic and have been told by my doc and nutritionist that I need my allotted carbs per day to keep my number in check...if I overdo or drop by I suffer when I read my sugars. Also diabetics have to watch their kidney function and too much protein is not good for your kidneys. I'm sticking t...

I feel your pain... :( and also your joy :D. I went to WW the start of the year and in 3 months have only managned to keep off 8 lbs. If it's going to be that slow with WW, then I can better handle the NoS and not have to pay for meetings or special foods, and especially not have to keep counting po...

Thank you for those hints and tips, all things working together sometimes help you put everything into perspective. I know one failure does not constitute "an eternal disaster" but it feels like it at the time. Then I have to ask myself, why do it in the first place...here I go analyzing - a downfal...

I had a bad day yesterday and ate snacks and a sweet...only my 3rd day into NoS...so I guess I'll have to count it as an S day. I haven't weighed because I know I had a gain, can feel it in my clothes, or is it that I feel really bloated; it's not a great feeling. I hadn't noticed the bloat so much ...

Day 3 Success (almost)...did eat a bowl of cereal with milk for snack before bedtime. Sugar was great this morning. I guess this is going to have to be standard for me.

Day 1 (Monday) Success!
Day 2 (Tuesday Success again

My problem is bedtime snack is needed to keep a.m. sugars at a low range, if no snack, sugar is high. I have to find a way to have a 1-carb snack at night, maybe take it away from the dinner plate. What do ya think?

I think I started having delayed periods at about age 36 (I'm now near 47). I had always been very, very regular. In 2007 I had 4 periods, this year so far only 1. I had an FSH drawn by my doctor that said I was in menopause, but he could not tell me exactly how long it would take to complete menopa...
