Welcome back, renee! I agree with the others! Vanilla No S is the way to go! I, too, have had more than my fair share of slip ups with No S /experimenting with other plans. I also gained 13 plus pounds previous to making my second attempt at No S (on top of weight I already had to lose). I can't say...

Take care, Pangelsue! Hope you're feeling better soon !

GOOD LUCK ON REACHING YOUR GOAL, r.jean! YOU ARE DOING JUST GREAT!!!!

GOOD LUCK Marc - great to see you back. I don't believe I've posted on your thread before. However, been following the No S Plan off and on since late 2009 and have been reading your posts. Welcome Back! You are indeed an inspiration!!

NoSRocks

Sounds like a great idea! I am a bit of a slave to the scales....been trying to lay off them recently, especially now that I've at long last dropped a couple of pounds! I'm now kinda torn about the scales: not weighing for a few months (I did sign up for the 90 day challenge after all) and getting e...

Hi guys! Thanks for your well wishes, tobiasmom. You too!!! mimi: sorry to hear you've been feeling down and hope you're feeling much better soon.

Glad you're feeling better today, oolala~!

NoSRocks

Hi mimi - just read the news about your pet and I'm so sorry! Thinking of you and yours.

NoSRocks

Alas, in this case I think this has not happened. In honour of my up-coming anniversary, I'd weighed in a few times over the previous week (normally I go weeks or months without stepping on a scale), and the numbers were very similar to what the doctor's scale said. Nevertheless, still a fantastic ...

FABULOUS! Many Congratulations!!

I've been following your No S journey for the past 3 years and you are SUCH an inspiration to me! Very exciting - THANK YOU!!

GREAT job, sheepish! Many Congratulations and thanks for an amazing post!!

Hi who me? Just wanted to stop by and say hi and also how much I admire you and your partner, Robb. You've both gone through the mill and come back out victorious on the other side. ((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))))))

NoSRocks

Well done, ellgee! Welcome back - not that you've been away, of course. The great thing, I find about No S is that it is super-addictive and not a (insert no of days) wonder like most other "diets". Even though I've struggled with my mind over matter and had my ups and downs along the way and no dou...

Hi mimi! Glad to be of help! Good luck with those supplements; I'm sure they will work well for you. What a coincidence, huh?

Thanks r.jean! Very good analogy too, I might add :) I guess it gives me hope - however fleeting - that I actually can lose weight again.

NoSRocks

Agree with the others! - You're doing GREAT!!

I had plenty of treats this S weekend. Sunday more than Saturday as it turned out. Finding it much harder today after eating cake for dessert and no vegetables to speak of on Sunday. However, I managed to muddle on through.

WE CAN DO THIS!!!

NoSRocks

Not too bad an S Weekend, I suppose. I ate more today (Sunday) in the way of desserts/cakes as I had quite a few in the house and wanted to use them up! The annoying thing was I was really psyched up to be super-good as I didn't have the usual cravings for sweet stuff/cra*p this weekend as I usually...
