WOW -- the difference a day makes. I got up this morning and ate a good breakfast after working out and then went to work. Had a great day! Ate my lunch at the hospital where I work about 2 and now I feel back in control. This feels great! Thanks again for the support. I am so thankful I just didn't...

You guys are AMAZING! Thank you all, each and every one of you, for your replies and wonderful support. I got up this morning and feel a lot better. The jist from what I get from all of you is take your eye off the weight loss and put it on building the habit and then the rest will follow. So, this ...

I just read everyone's messages and they were encouraging. Thanks for listening and sharing. I know I need to learn to trust the process and enjoy the process. One step at a time, one second at a time. Whatever it takes. You know in my heart I knew the answer, but just could't see it today. I guess ...

Wosnes is right. You can't get it wrong on an S day. Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's this "Don't be an idiot" caution, and it's true. But "Don't be an idiot" also means to let the simplicity of the system work for you. Let the learning process be a learning process. The beauty and power of the system is ...

Okay.... gotta be honest here. My post above sounds like I have it all figured out. But I don't. I have so much weight to lose. Minimal is 60 and truly to get in a normal range 75. Right now I feel so lost. It's like a mountain I can't fathom climbing. It's like last week's joy has been replaced by ...

Boy, wished I would have read this last week. See "spin, crash and burn" post below. And it was all due to two things - First viewing the weekend as a foodfest and two, trying to make up for it by tweaking and making meals smaller and "diet" instead of wholesome and enjoyable. Thanks for the great a...

Spin, crash and burn :(
Okay.... I spent the first week talking about how this way of living was almost spiritual and I DO believe it is. And I KNOW it is my answer. But you know what? I arrogantly didn't think I would ever have one problem whatsoever. Wrong. I derailed big time over the weekend. I started out doing good, ...

A friend and I went to a diet doctor in Mexico.... not a fancy town in the interior of Mexico, but a border town. We went in to see him at the same time. Picture this - He can't understand us, we can't understand him. All I recognized were the words potato and tomato. To make it worse we both got sh...

Haven't logged into this part in a few days. I guess for me I realized that I didn't want to *log* my food anymore. Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt. What I DO want to report is that for the first time in my life I'm having fabulous success at something. There have been a few struggles and ...

I tried some different things on my first "N" days this week just to see if they would hold me for 5 hours until the next meal. I waited until then in case I didn't like it or it was just not substantial enough, didn't want to starve the rest of day. One B-fast I had just wasn't cutting it, but I ha...

I'm so sorry about your mother. *hugs* But you are right, she would definitely tell you were on the right track. I think the general consensus for everyone that starts this is that a huge weight has been lifted from their shoulders. It's such a relief to not be stressed all the time about what to ea...

Friday and Saturday were my "S" days since that is my work schedule. Friday I did really well. Ate pretty much normal all day and then Friday night went out with my hub and had a nice meal with drinks and dessert. All day Saturday really well, too. But by Saturday night I slipped into my nonstop sna...

Hey there -- this is my first week and I changed it to fit *my* life. I have Friday's and Saturday's off so that's where I chose to put my days. Hope I don't get boo'd for this. But my take on this way of life is that it is guidelines and from there you make it fit your life. That's what I'm doing a...

I realize I am lucky. I know it was mostly water and next week may actually show a gain. But I know I was probably eating at least as much calories in snacks every day as food, so just cutting snacks out was HUGE for me. I had the mindset that grazing from the refrigerator and eating standing up in ...

Weight can fluctuate greatly day to day. Are you near your cycle? Did you eat a lot of salt yesterday? Did you start an exercise program this week? Your muscles can retain fluid when you're exercising. You might have actually lost fat this week and gained muscle and the scale doesn't show that. My s...

I forgot to add, I have a LOT to lose, so 6 lbs, percentage wise, is not that high for me. I ate well this week. Just followed the guidelines. I am finally free to live life AND have my body weight normalize. PS Will I get kicked off the board since my S days are actually Friday and Saturday instead...
