Everyday Systems

Bright Angel, thankyou for all your thoughtful posts. I love that you have much sucess counting calories. Actually for me its point values, but a point is roughly 50 calories so I know both. After all these years counting is second nature, habit, no effort. Its all stored in my brain. However, I nee...

Hey everyone! I'm looking for some advice here. I'm pretty new with NoS and here's a problem I've been having. Today I thought about getting pizza for lunch and I know I would have 2 pieces. It's pizza hut meat lovers and I happen to know they're around 500 calories a slice. So, in my mind I'm think...

Dee, I love your blog. I am a long time WWer and have fiddled with the Nos diet for about a year on and off. I can't wait to read your experience with Nos. Good luck to you!

Thanks for all your replies! I check these boards everyday, though I don't always post. Best to all of you!!

Hi, everyone. I have been toying with this plan on and off for about one year. I've never stuck with it for more than a week or two. I always give up, not because the plan is difficult, but because I think it's too easy and livablel to work. So, I did another stint with WW and lost around 8 pounds a...

Hi! Just a couple questions to make sure I stay legal. If I have an olive in a martini is the olive legal or is it a snack? Also I know most starbucks concoctions would be considered a sweet but if I made a cup of hot tea at home with a little milk and sugar is that legal? What about a cup of hot ch...

I like the sound of that. A perfect vanilla no s January!

Not sure if that's the exact right name but I read this entire years worth of blog last night and this morning and I have to say it really spoke to my heart and inspired me completly. Thankyou for taking the time to write all those thoughts down. I really related to it and it proved to me that no s ...

Thank you for all your thoughtful posts. I do like no s and as long as i can lose weight doing it I will put in the hard work. ( its not that hard) I just wanted to know that it won't take me 12 years to lose 20 pounds or that i will end up heavier by stopping the point counting. Thanks again!

Hi! I've been contemplating making no s a lifestyle for me for a few months now. I try it and then fail, go back to weight watchers, become obsessed with food, back to no s , etc. The longest I did no s was 2 weeks and heres what happened. First week down 4.5! Yeah I thought I finally found a wonder...

I found this quote in a magazine called Thriving Family about making your marriage better but I thought it applied quite nicely to the NoS way of eating. " Faithfully doing small things really does matter and brings great reward." Sometimes I feel like if these changes I'm making aren't extreme that...

After playing around and not committing to this diet for about a month I finally decided to commit to it through the new year to see if at the very least I could maintain my weight through the holidays. Today was the end of my first week ( I weigh once a week) and I lost 4.5 pounds! I really needed ...

I would love to be your buddy! I am 31 years old and 5"2. I weigh 156 right now and want to get back down to 135- 140 pounds. I know what you mean about being sick of counting. I always have done weight watcher points and although it did become a habit that wasn't too hard anymore I just got sick of...

Hi everyone! I've been an on and off weight watcher for about 10years. I am up about 20 pounds right now from my weight lost there and I've been playing around with no s for about a month. I love it and i want to keep doing it but I keep doubting that it will work because i am so used to counting po...
