The No S Diet book is on sale at amazon for $5 and change. I just bought 3 of them; one for my twin sister, one for my friend, and one to possibly leave in the faculty room at work come September. I got an extra great deal because I get free shipping. So if anyone wants to buy an extra one or two an...

I first read about No-S in the faculty room in a "Quick & Simple" magazine's mantra of the week. I loved the simplicity of the rules. That was in June of 2008. I successfully no-essed for a while and then fell off the bandwagon. (Ramadan came and went and then I got pregnant with my second child). I...

Thank you to all who replied. Your suggestions and comments have been much appreciated. Traditionally, during Ramadan, a person should eat TWO meals; one just before dawn and then dinner. Sweets are NOT required, but they are very common. In my particular situation, I find it very hard to wake up at...

The month of Ramadan will be starting soon. This is a month where I will be fasting from sunrise to sunset. This means that from about 5:00 in the morning to 7:30 in the evening, I will not be able to eat or drink anything. I'd like to try and adapt No S during this time but I am not sure how. Any s...

That's great. Congratulations.

Surfwalking...hmmm...sounds like a great idea, kind of like those built in tv on treadmills in the gym.

One question though, how exactly are you positioning the laptop so that it doesn't fall?!

Welcome back.

Your post was very amusing and REAL. Keep up the great work.

Congratulations! That is really great progress.

Your results make me wish that I hadn't been messing up so badly. I have more FAILURE days than I care to remember. Next time I'm tempted to mess up, I'll have to think of you for inspiration.

Thanks for the post and keep up the great work.

Welcome, vcanfield. I am a teacher, too. :) I find that during prep periods I get the munchies, so last school year, while I was counting calories to lose weight (I hadn't yet discovered no S) I would try to chew gum and drink water to keep from snacking. This school year, I will try to do the same ...

Thanks for letting us know. Enjoy!

Thanks for the post, Gingercake. It is nice to know that I am not the only one out there who panics sometimes and thinks of going back to counting calories. The weight loss is slow, but it seems more rewarding. I rest assured feeling and KNOWING somehow that whatever weight I lose each week is perma...

Hi, Andi. Welcome. My twin sister is 5'1'' and at her heaviest weighed 247 lbs. Fast forward two years and now she weighs about 150-155 lbs. She has done this by walking during her lunch break at work and after dinner, riding her stationary bike while watching tv, and eating mostly fruits and vegeta...

I am just starting my 6th week on No S and while I have had quite a few RED days, I do find this much easier to stick to and definitely more doable than many of the other diet alternatives out there.

I wish you luck and keep us posted on your progress.

I first read about No-S in the faculty room during my lunch break in a "Quick & Simple" magazine's mantra of the week. As someone who previously thought that there is NO possible way to lose weight unless you count calories, I now know that the opposite is true. (Thank God, I could only last for abo...

Thanks LA_Loser.

I'm glad that I could make a "contribution" to the list.

Hello, all.
How do I provide a link for my "habitcal" and daily "check in" in the signature section of my posts?
Thanks.
