Day 28 Weight 144.4 Had carbs (potatoes, stuffing) yesterday with meals yesterday and did the day before as well, which is likely why I'm not seeing much scale movement. But I'm sticking to the basic No-S habits which is my main focus right now. I want to get those really solid before I stress abou...

joy&balance

Thanks, Auto & Soprano! Yes, whenever I have tried to lose weight before, I always was more successful when cutting refined carbs. But then I would want something and have it and then feel like I'd blown it and go back to eating all the carbs. So far with this approach, it's been like, "Hey, I can h...

Nice job, liveitup!

joy&balance

Thanks, Auto! Yes, the exercise is something that just makes me feel better when I do it, but I'm not tracking it on habitcal or anything. And definitely working on just trying to do something most days, even if it's just a few yoga poses. I'll build up over time - no pressure on myself over it. Rea...

Day 5 Weight: 145.6 Yesterday was a success, although I did not get in my 20 min of exercise. However, I made sure to get up earlier today and got 20 min in plus a little stretching!

Hi everyone! After years of trying other things, I am back to No-S. No-S never really stuck with me before - I wanted to lose weight NOW. :roll: However, I am more patient now that I am older. Plus, I am happy to focus on behavior rather than outcome at this point in my life. I want to develop simpl...

@eschano - Yes, it was great!

Thanks all!. Yes, this does feel magical, yet so normal - how is that possible? :D On Sunday, I was at the grocery store and thought "Oh I could get myself a treat. It's an S day." Walked over and looked at them and didn't want one! Said to myself, "Well I'll just have ice cream later like I planned...

joy&balance

First 2 S days almost over, and I feel great about where I'm at. I allowed myself a little more freedom this weekend, but didn't go too crazy. No binges.

Day 6: S-Day

If I can just halt the gaining with vanilla No S, I'll be happy! It is so freeing.

Thanks all! It's good to be back.

Day 2: SUCCESS

joy&balance

After stopping No S a long time ago, I've decided I need to regain my sanity around food and weight issues. What better place to come to than here?

My first goal - 3 successful weeks of vanilla No S to be documented here.

Yesterday (5/12/14) was day one. (Started weighing 146.5).

Day 1: SUCCESS

joy&balance

Have been very successful thus far. Only slip was Friday night - drank too much and snacked. Thus, I am implementing the glass ceiling to deal with this. I know I would have made better choices sober.... Today has been three weeks, so I went ahead and weighed myself this morning. I weigh about what ...

Oh, and thanks so much for the encouragement everyone!!

Days 8-10: SUCCESS
Days 12-13: SUCCESS

Doing well on no-S days. Yesterday (S-Day) I ate pretty well and just had one bowl of ice cream. Today I had a fair amount of junk food, but I'm just going to take it in stride because I know I can handle the next few days eating clean!

Day 7 : SUCCESS

Did really well in Sept. Feeling good!

Day 6: SUCCESS Thanks for the words of encouragement, JennyP. It's really weird, but I am having more trouble avoiding the scale than I am avoiding snacking. Good thing it's out in the garage, or I likely would have succumbed. I am committed to waiting until I've been on this a month though. I'm als...

did well over the weekend.

Why am I so tempted to weigh myself? Is it just a habit? curiosity? I'm going to wait, but man the urge is strong.

joy&balance

Day 2: SUCCESS

Thanks to you both for your kind words and encouragement! I appreciate it.

Day 2 went fine. almost had a couple of "mindless" snacking nibbles, but stopped myself. didn't even want what i was going to eat. Scale is now in the garage for a month!

joy&balance

Day 1: SUCCESS

Made it through day 1 with little problems. Realized how much getting on the scale has become a mindless habit with me. Putting the thing out in the garage today so it's not easy to slip into habit again.

joy&balance

Thank you both so much for the welcome! And I loved your story about the skirt, Deedee. Congrats!

Hi everyone, Like many of you, I have been on a variety of diets, both with and without success. About two years ago, I completed a very restrictive, intense diet and exercise program and reached a weight that I liked. Since then, I have put back on 10-15 pounds (depending on the day) from where I'd...
