Week 3, no FAILURES, lost 1.4 pounds (nice!) Total weight loss 4.2 lbs. I'm in the 21 Club! And today happens to be an S-day. We went out to the Mennonite Farmers Market first thing in the morning. I wanted to pick up just a few veggies for grilling. They had mini-pies! And one was Strawberry-Rhubar...

My mesclun will be ready to begin harvesting soon. Three small roma tomatos appeared today, my other tomatos all have flowers, my slicing and pickling cucumbers have flowers. Still waiting for flowers on my green beans and lima beans. If I can just keep plant disease and critters at bay, I'm going t...

Ok, if evidence is mounting that junk foods can be addictive, then isn't the usual prescribed solution to go cold turkey? An alcoholic can't taper down, he must cease! How to go about that is the tricky part, eh? It's only if one is NOT addicted to alcohol that one may enjoy it, in moderation. (Alth...

Marc, That sounds like a challenge for me to catch up! (and I know it was in jest) I'm not one for competition with others, I'd rather view it as we are all on the same team. And I'd bet you'd agree! :) Next, I'd like to return a compliment and tell you that your progress and your weight goal settin...

To those who view crisps is such a dim light, That'd be me... But I just want to clear up that I'm a big believer in individuals. As similar as we can be, we can also be VASTLY different, both in how our body works, and our minds (psychology) too. When I give 'advice', it's from MY perspective, wha...

I'm kinda with marc on this one. Potato chips are not food. I classify them as another type of S that Reinhard didn't mention: starts with S, has four letters, rhymes with "fit", and I don't want any of THAT on my plate! :shock: If I really want some, it can wait till an S-day. Even then, I'll never...

So it seems that our genes determine our weight after all! Hmmmmm.....! Although our genes may have some say in our bodies 'preferred' weight, genes do not account for the obesity epidemic. Which, if I recall from the No S Diet book, can roughly be said to have started in 1980. Genes, and Evolution...

Hi Betty, I've been married 22 years. In my experience, I cannot 'make' my wife do anything like dieting, it wouldn't be in my best health interests... :lol: As much as we may love our better halves, I don't think it's wise to push them towards something as personal as weight loss. I think it's a ca...

My second week of No S went just fine. I'm losing about a pound a week. Seems like I've taken to No S like a duck to water. It is sooooo nice seeing that my weight is continuing to decrease, AND I'm not spending all that time and energy tracking calorie intake. That was SUCH a drag. I'm taking a tra...

I found it interesting that, basically those who store fat easily would be those who survive starvation periods. In essence, they are the ones who are evolutionarily superior (in times of scarcity). In the modern age of excess, this has flipped to become a detriment. Which way will the human race co...

Injuries and the Traffic Light
(Apologies if this post is in the wrong section.) I twanged my upper back today doing degraded beasts (Yes, those are all medical terms :lol: ). It might just go away by the end of the day. If it doesn't and I feel it best to skip shuggin tomorrow, I suppose that would count as a Red, Failure day. H...

From Reinhard's video of flip the lever, it seems that the momentum of the swing is doing a lot of the work. Perhaps it's just the way it looks, or maybe that's what was intended. Allowing this swing seems to make the exercise way too easy. So I've been experimenting with slowing way down with the f...
