I loved Curves when I was going a couple years back. I only left because they club I went to was closing and I was moving away. The clubs near my condo were missing a few of the machines that I liked best, so I couldn't find one in a convenient location that had the tools I was looking for. It is a ...

Hi Jennyp, For 21 club, you count 3 full weeks - N days and S days. I am now into my 4th month of No-S. Interestingly, I didn't have my first red day until I was in my 3rd month. For myself, eating only 3 meals without snacking during the week is fairly easy, so perhaps it has become habit. But I st...

I disagree. Meals are meant to be enjoyed, not eaten for the sake of eating. I think eating something you don't really want can lead to cravings and possible failures.

Good for you vmsurbat It IS NOT about guilt, it is about change and feeling good about yourself. If you have more "NWS" days this month than you' like to, I am sure it is fine, I would try to limit the snacks/sweets/seconds on those days if possible. And in the months coming, once the "special days"...

Betty, I think you've reached a fantastic realization. It doesn't matter how long it takes you to reach your goal. The point is that you have a goal, you know you can obtain it, and you are willing to do the work to get there. You will, in the end, be rewarded. Just take it one day, or even one meal...

Hi Debs, Thanks for checking out my check-in! :) An "oat cake" is 2 egg whites lightly beaten with 1-2 Tbsp natural applesauce, 1 packet of oatmeal (I prefer Quaker Weight Smart any flavor) and a hearty shake of ground cinnamon. Mix all together in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 2 minutes. ...

thanks everyone! I am happy to report that I made it through the day without giving in to the sugar cravings! :D I think the apple with dinner helped. I don't keep fruit juice in my house but I might start to. Every time I buy it, I end up throwing it out because I don't drink it often enough and th...

Sugar craving
He everyone,
It is my 11th day of the No S lifestyle and for the first time so far, I am REALLY craving sugar. I just fixed myself an iced coffee with a little bit of sugar in it but it is definitely not sweet.
I would assume this craving is normal, right?
thanks,
mel1974c

Great to see another popcorn lover!! I had popcorn - a huge bowl of air popped with real butter and salt for lunch last Saturday. I was hesitant to eat it as a meal on an N day because I eat more than a plateful in one sitting. How much popcorn do you eat as an N day meal? Also, I too enjoy Leslie S...
