This is my last diet
Hi I have been gone for a while and have fallen back on several diets to loose weight. Now at 67 I have given up on dieting. I reread the Book and have decided that this is the only way to go. I can't exersize the way I should because of a bad hip, but I try to walk the dog every day. I don't even c...

DebbiAnn starting daily check-ins
It is Sunday, Easter, and all is well. I have been on No S for about 3 weeks and have not had a failure yet. I just finished the book again, and plan on reading some sections for a third time. I seem to get something out of it each time. In the last 3 weeks, I have eaten real food again. I was on Lo...

I find sometimes that if I feel that I am failing at something, I need to re-think why I am doing it. Why am I trying to loose weight, why am I going to this class, etc. If you can justify at least to your self why you are doing something it will get you back on track. The road might get tough, so t...

It funny how different people react to things. I have never had a problem with AS. I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia several years ago and the dr. said to switch to AS. That was before AS was even popular. I think Tab was the only diet drink on the market. (showing my age). That was also the time wh...

Artificial Sweeteners
I have been re-reading the book and came across the section on sugar. Something was mentioned about not liking artificial sweeteners. Some may refuse to give up Coffee, I have the same problem with my diet coke. I have been drinking diet so long that it makes the real thing taste like syrup. And the...

Hi I have been away for more than a year and I am glad this board is still going strong. For the past year, I have been on low-carbs. I lost 20 lbs and am standing still. I am also board with this way of eating. At 65, I feel that I want to eat normally again. Although my cholesterol dropped to 186 ...

Oh how I hate to waste Food
S days are also baking days. I make cookies for my Son in Afganistan. I was trying a new recipe and thought I cooked them the right length of time, but they came out a little over done. A warm one was good, but after cooling a couple of hours they were very crispy, too crispy to send as it takes 4-6...

KCCC said it best. "once you get this 'I can eat this' WOW" out your system" things will calm down. maybe I need to take a second look at just how much food is on that plate, and shrink it a little. eventually I might get back to normal. I did weight watchers for the last 6 months. I know I can live...
