Basically, the more complex people thing a diet is, the harder it is to stick with.

Not exactly an earth-shattering finding, but it would seem to be good news for No-S.

Well, I survived the weekend... it ended up being a bit more exciting than planned for. Our 2-year-old broke his foot Friday night (long story, it's just a buckle fracture, but he'll need a cast for a couple weeks), so he and I stayed at home all day Saturday, and missed the birthday party in the mo...

I just finished my first week of No-S and Shovelglove. All five weekdays have been green both programs. :D :D :D I've already lost 5 pounds, too! No-S hasn't been too difficult so far, although I haven't been super hungry due to having a cold this week. It seems like *not* snacking makes me less hun...

I'm definitely feeling it, though - I had a hard time lifting my arms to bru...

When I was 17, the summer before I started college I was around 220, and I lost a total of 55 pounds over a year and a half...
