Everyday Systems

Hi all! I'm starting fresh again today! Where do we post our weight?

I'm back once again after some time of trying out the latest diet. When I check out at a store, I'm always looking for the next newest diet in a magazine! Every time I try something new, I always get that feeling of failure, or spend lots of time trying to figure out what I can eat or not eat. My mo...

Yes, I would take those NoS days.. and I went so overboard I felt ill! I am thinking that maybe six meals per day would be the way to go because my stomach cannot hold a lot at one time.

Thanks for responding

Hello Everyone! I have been lurking here since the article came out in Woman's World. I had a lot of start and stops trying the NoS. I always feel so much better and happier when I am doing the NoS then I get discouraged and try something else. I have gastric bypass surgery March 2005, and I've been...

I have started walking three miles every morning this week. I go super early so it won't be too hot. This seems to keep me motivated to stick on NoSing for the remainder of the day.

Hi All! I've been doing the NoS for one month now! I have resolved not to get on that scale until the first of each month! Anyway, something I have noticed: Even if I do decide to snack, which I have done the last couple of days, it is really not all that bad! I used to be all or nothing when it cam...

I am very sorry to hear about your grandfather. I lost my mother this past November, and I am so dreading Mother's Day this upcoming Sunday. Anyway, my advice to you is just go easy on yourself during this time. I've been doing the NoS for almost one month now, and I have also had some red days mark...

Wow, did this hit close to home for me! My mother passed away this past November here at home. She battled cancer for the last 10 years. I am dreading this next Mother's Day because it will be my first without her, as well. This is the lady who was such an awesome cook, and when I was morbidly obese...

Don't be so hard on yourself! Like someone said, let your sick day be your "s" day. I went off the wagon a couple days this week, but I don't have any excuses for it! I was so upset about it, and wanted to begin all over. Instead I just marked the two days with red, and decided I wasn't perfect, and...

I have experienced some of that tired feeling, myself. I thought maybe it was because of some sugar withdrawal. You might try adding some more protein to your meals. I have to have protein at each of my meals to stick with me. I know I stay full a lot longer.

Dear Becky, Please don't feel bad! I also had a very bad past Monday and Tuesday of this week! I was about to give up, and try my own thing again. Then I thought it was just crazy to give up. So instead I put two red marks for Monday and Tuesday, and decided to begin anew today. Tomorrow will make t...

Hello! Last week I wrote on the bulletin board asking people to help me get back into my exercise. All the replies were very helpful! Anyway, I got in my car, and measured off a little more than a mile. What I have been doing this week is I divide my walks up! I just find a block of 30 minutes, and ...

Hi All, I have really been out of the habit of exercising lately. I've been blaming the bad weather for it, but now there's not excuse for it! Actually, there was no excuse before since we have an indoor track! Anyway, right now all I really want to do is walk. How can I get this habit started again...

I love the bulletin board here very much! I also think it would be neat to have a chat!!

I know exactly what you mean about wanting to sabotage everything! I really went through that this past Monday night! All I can say is maybe fill your plate more, and really eat more protein. Protein really seems to "stick with my bones" more than anything! LOL I think if you would drink that glass ...

Pink Mommy, I've also had the stomach surgery, but I've been trying to go on the three meals. I've been using a regular-sized plate, but I actually feel too stuffed like you said. I am considering using the smaller plate. At times, between my meals if I get really hungry, I've been drinking the whol...

Dear Sharky, I would think since they closed their shop, and you have to drive 20 miles would be a very legitimate reason to get out of your contract. I would ask to speak to the manager, and then if that doesn't help, tell them you want to speak to the next one up in charge. I really think they wil...

Thanks all for your sweet words. I've noticed a weight gain since the death of my mother. I stay here and take care of my father now. My mom was a very wonderful and wise woman. I remember watching how she would eat just one plate with no seconds. She would also eat very slowly. She never had a weig...

Hello All! I just had to make a post about how much better I feel with this new way of living. I feel like I am eating like a normal person again. My mother used to tell me just to cut back on my portions when I had such a weight problem. This is the exact way she would eat: Three meals per day. She...

Thanks for the quick response. I wanted to tell you that before I had the gastric bypass surgery, I also had a sleeve gastroplasty. My liver was so enlarged that I had to have this surgery first so my liver would shrink down to normal size. This made it easier for the surgeon to do the gastric bypas...

Hi Everyone! I was just wondering if anyone here has had the stomach surgery gastric bypass. I had my surgery November of 2004. Sadly to say, the honeymoon phase is over! I began at 322 lbs, and now I weight about 170. I have gained approximately 40 pounds back, and I am very upset about this. I bou...

Hello all, My goodness I have felt sinfully guilty eating what I have today! I really don't feel so good, either!!! I had gastric bypass surgery in November of 2004. My stomach is supposed to be the size of an egg so I get full really fast! Has anyone else here had that surgery before tried this die...
