Everyday Systems

I've completed 3 weeks and am down 8.2 pounds. Had a few rough days this week. Time between lunch and dinner was too long. I need to get more exercise in during the week and more water. Otherwise, I'm doing well. Staying strong. Pleased with my results so far.

Thanks Joelle and Janie for the words of encouragment. I appreciate it. Janie, I have thought about changing my meal times. This would be a possibility for me as well. If I have any bad days over it this week, I'll probably do just this. I had a great day yesterday. Had a sweet treat, but stuck to t...

I'm 2 weeks on plan and am doing well. I'm down 7.5 pounds. I've been walking a mile about 5x a week and doing extra yardwork/housework to burn calories. Feeling good. Staying positive. Had a few rough afternoons (wanted to snack), but I held strong and got my mind on something else to get through i...

I'm down 6.5 pounds after the first week on No S. I'll take that!

Gonna keep plugging along. I'm off to a great start.

Day 8 on plan. I followed my 3-plate rule. Went to a ballgame in the evening, but didn't eat anything at the park. I'm trying to get more fruits, veggies and water into my diet. Have been doing very well with this. Even had peas one day for lunch. :D Need to work on getting more exercise and have go...

Thanks so much for the encouragement, Deb. I appreciate it. Had another good day. I've finished my first week and am very pleased with my progress. l'm becoming more aware of the portion sizes that I need to get me through to the next meal. A few times this week I have left a few bites of food on my...

Stayed true to plan today. Took a walk with my kids. We ate out this evening and I was still able to stick to my plan. Very cool.

Stuck to my 3 plates of food. Took the day off from exercise. A good day. I was thinking about 2 things today. First, this food plan is not controlling my life. Before when I would diet, the diet would take up all of my time - journaling my food, preparing special meals for just me, exercise for lon...

Another good day. Had a bit of a rough afternoon. About 2 o'clock I was feeling hungry. Instead of eating, I fixed a big glass of water. Sipped it off and on for the next half hour or so. I got busy doing something around the house to keep my mind occupied and eventually the feeling went away. I mad...

Very encouraging for a newbie and you made me laugh.

Congrats on your 3 week success.

I don't really want to lose 100 pounds, I just figure that I have more in common with the people here than I do with the folks that are trying to lose 15 or 20 pounds. I do need to lose a lot, but I don't really have a pre-set number in mind. I think I'll know when I get close to it. I'm thinking th...

This is day 3 for me. I got some exercise in today. 15 min walk and some laps in the pool. Stuck to my 3 plates. I'm wondering if I'm eating too much to lose, but will just have to wait for my first week weigh-in to see. My meals are balanced. I'm trying to get more fruits and veggies. Also, more wa...

I stuck to the plan. Took a bike ride with my boys. Walked for 14 min. on the treadmill. Trying to get dh to join in on this with me. He's thinking about it. I'm feeling good. Haven't been tempted, yet. My motivation is there. I read some more on the bulletin board today and I'm really feeling like ...

My first day went well. I stayed on plan. Hardest time was between lunch and dinner.

I'm feeling strong. Motivated.

My lowest weight ever was 137-140. I was super thin then, but I ate very little. When I was married (14 years ago) I weighed 155. I'd be happy to see something in the 160s. Shoot, I'd be extatic! <grin> Right now, I'd just like to get below that 200 mark. I'm trying for now just to focus on 5% of my...

Hi All, I just joined this evening. My starting weight is 240. I'm 5'7". My be-all, end-all goal would be to see 160 again, but for now I'm just going to concentrate on getting below the 200 mark. I'm a sahm to 2 small boys and diabetes runs in my family. I'm tired of being fat. I want a more active...
