Have dropped a few extra lbs recently. Not sure why but I guess I'll take it ! Chances are its only a temporary loss since my body likes the 130 lbs mark.

Just logged in and read all your latest posts - thank you so much everyone for your continued support and good wishes - Reinhard as always, great to hear from you and thanks again for this wonderful plan!! Just to let you know, I am maintaining 130 lbs!!! So deli...
Hi My No S Buddies! Can't believe its been a year or more since I last updated my testimonial but there it is and here I am! :wink: :wink: Just another very quick update to let you know I've managed to keep off my 40 lbs weight loss in the 2 years since I lost the weight on the No S Diet - YAYYY!

I still continue to lurk around the NO S board on occasions and read all your messages. You all continue to be a great i...
Hello there Reinhard! Thanks again for your support and good wishes!
If it hadn't been for your wonderful No S system, I would never have gotten this far. I have been saved from the years of food anxiety, obsession and misery and I cannot thank you enough !!
Hi again guys!@! :) Many many thanks all for your lovely messages and best wishes - same goes to all of you too! .... Great to 'see' you all here! Just to let you know - even though I haven't been posting much lately, I still lurk the boards on a daily basis :) lol! Planning on dropping into this th...
Hi there all! :) :) Many thanks everyone for dropping in with your lovely, supportive messages ! You guys are the best! Great going Deb ! :wink: :wink: finallyful: thanks for your question/interest - here's what I eat pretty much on a daily basis.., my choices are a bit boring, I admit! :) lol (iron...
Hi there my fellow No Sers! :) :) Sorry it's been a while since I posted on the Board - however I just wanted to pop in with an update and to let you know how I'm doing these days. **I intend to post here again with future updates, be it monthly, 6 month, yearly etc. to keep in touch with my fellow ...
Thanks so much for your very nice compliment, oolala. Really good to hear that lil' old me could be an inspiration to others. :oops: :D :D From reading your latest post, it seems like we have both reached the same stage of the No S Journey; it took me some time and even now I have my moments, but so...
Hi snapdragon! :) :) Thanks for your question. Basically, cakes, brownies and fudge. The sorts of foods I had managed to steer clear of for the past 6 months or so. :roll: Today for example, I decided to try out a chocolate brownie recipe in the afternoon, ate a few squares, which then led onto a bi...
Hi all! Just a little note to say I'm still here and continue to read all of your great messages. Weight down to 133 lbs now. This is still well within the recommended weight for my height. Unfortunately, I have still got the bake nibble habit in the afternoons and although it hasn't - so far - adde...
Hi again oolala! :) Yeah I know what you mean - 'odd' wasn't really the word I was looking for, I kinda wrote that on the run without much time to think - lol. Regardless, thanks again oolala for your most helpful posts and insights. Not sure how the total abstinence idea will go either; tbh though ...
Hello again girls! My goodness, thanks ever so much for your supportive and great suggestions! :) Feeling a lot better today since I was at work all day and didn't have a chance to even think about sweet foods. Oolala, you are so on the ball as ever: and thank you so much for the reassurance that I ...
Hello everyone! Just a quick update from me and to wish you all a VERY HAPPY AND HEALTHY HOLIDAY SEASON! :) As of today, I'm hovering between 135 and 136 lbs. A week or so ago, I was at 134 lbs but recently, on the run up to Christmas, I've started up my nibbling and baking habit again :twisted: :tw...
Hi my dear oolala! Sorry to hear that you are unhappy with your job - it sounds easy to say, but I completely understand and empathize with you. If you are unhappy at work, it can get all encompassing no matter how many times loved ones and well meaning friends try to assure you otherwise! We just h...
Hello again, guys! :) Just another little update from me to say hello and let you know I am still on the planet - lol! Weight still holding steady at 137 lbs. Have been this weight for approximately 2 weeks now. I am not sure if I will lose any more now... but ... hey, you never know! Again, it has ...
Gee, thanks Patty - you're so welcome! :) :oops: :) I had a bit of fun in Old Navy last week, trying on some lovely fitted jackets that I wouldn't have given a second glance at this time last year because I know for a fact they wouldn't fit and it was pointless even going there. I had also lost inte...
Hi again, Patty! Sorry hon, I missed your question re. the wardrobe! :oops: I overlooked that one somehow. I know you won't mind too much since you know I don't get always visit this thread as much these days. Also you're a nice lady and will understand :) :wink: Yes, Patty I do indeed get such a pl...
LOL! :) :) Thanks guys for your nice messages and your great suggestion about the scales, Patty! Certainly would make them less accessible although I've a feeling I might venture down to the basement to haul them back out again! Great idea tho! :) PS: I think we may have talked about this before som...
Hi all! :) Just popping in as its been a week or so since I last posted. Continuing to do good and real happy right now. Weight has been 140 lbs for this past 2 weeks. Looks like I am losing once every 2 weeks recently - anything I lose now I consider a bonus since I am feeling satisfied and happy a...
I've noticed my weight loss is slowing down latterly but still consistently losing. I haven't changed up my eating patterns and don't intend to. It will be interesting to see where it 'pans' out! Great Job, hon!!!
Hi Patty ! :) Thank you sooo much for posting! It means a lot to me, too and also gives me inspiration to keep going! Reached a new 'low' of 140 lbs this week! I'm finding now that the weight loss is slowing down and I am now losing on average once every 2 weeks now instead of weekly. But the wonder...
Hi guys! :) Hope you all have a great weekend. Things continuing to go great. As of this week, I'm 142 lbs. A few people have started to notice now and have received very nice compliments/remarks from them. Its very nice of course to hear but for me, it isn't all about that. I just want(ed) peace fr...
Hi tmom! Great to hear everything is going well with your good self! Congratulations on your No S success and continuing journey. It can't be easy when you're expecting ! (for me it was any excuse to eat what I like, :oops: :twisted: :oops: :twisted: ) so good for you and great job! Take care and by...
Thanks very much again, milliem for your kind and flattering words!! :) Hope you had a good weekend too! BTW - you have hit the nail exactly on the head in that regard! There is certainly a lot of pleasure and excitement right now to be getting the results and losing the weight that I have been want...
Good morning, milliem! :) Thanks so much for popping in again with your well wishes. You know, that indeed was a very good point re. no S and the fact that it is not about weight/body image etc. in fact, it is really to get the focus off of that way of thinking and putting food and body image back i...
Had a very nice Saturday, guys. Hope you're all enjoying your weekend too. Weight still 145 lbs but... looked like it was hovering ever so slightly below! I am sooo happy, I know I repeat myself a lot of the time, lol, but I have set my next mini goal of losing a bit more. Not sure if I've reached m...
I'm with you on this, oolala! Having (had) a relentessly sweet tooth for most of my life, I too longed for the weekends and looked forward to what I was going to treat myself to... often as not, though I too got mildly disappointed on S Day mornings when a: I couldn't quite make my mind up what I re...
Hi all! :) Just popping in to wish you all a very happy weekend! Weight still steady at 145 lbs. I am pleased ... but you know, I guess I wish I could lose a little more. But isn't that always the way? :p) I got a very nice compliment from someone in work today who hadn't seen me in a while re. my w...
Hi guys! :) Hope you all had a great weekend! Went out for dinner with DH on Saturday night. First time I'd been out for a meal in ages, I was a tad nervous about what to chose from the menu since very big portions served. I got some marinated chicken breast with lots of veggies and salad in the end...
Hi Leighg! Thanks for your question :) Basically eating 3 meals a day (please see my daily check in thread for more info) and taking less regular S Days than I used to seems to be doing the trick. I haven't consciously cut carbs but overall, yes I do eat less bread based meals these days, preferring...
Hi Berry! Have a great weekend yourself my friend :) :) Yeah, I guess with regards the weighing: it depends on whatever one is comfortable with and what works for the individual at the end of the day. I think I start fretting about stuff like this aka sweating the small stuff - is when I read 'dieta...
Hi guys! :) Just a little message to wish you all a great forthcoming weekend! Weight fluctuating between 145 and 146 lbs over the last few days. I actually saw 145 lbs on the scale on Monday morning and was thrilled! BUT I think I am weighing too often lately. I was actually weighing myself morning...
Agree with all of the above, guys! :) I tend to visit the boards and read the messages more frequently than I post - especially since my work schedule has changed up recently and I don't get the time to post as much. As is my nature, I do confess to feeling a little 'guilty' for not posting as much ...
Hi again oolala! :) Thank you again sooo much for your most insightful and thoughtful posts! Not to mention the very nice compliments re. my figure! I will be getting big headed at this rate :) :P) What you wrote was very thought-provoking and as ever, struck a chord with what I had been thinking ab...
YaY!!! Berry! Just noticed your lovely message as I was about to log out (have an appt to go to this morning). Just taking a few minutes to write back so I'm sorry if it sounds a little bit rushed lol :p) I'm with you on the 'getting skinnier' part! I know what you mean and once you get on a roll it...
Doing better on the weight front this morning. Looks like I'm back to the 146.5 lb mark again. A few days of watching those sodium levels and sticking to the fat free yogurts seems to have helped (fingers crossed!) My next goal is to get to the 145 lbs mark and then we'll take it from there. I'm set...
Interesting idea, oolala! :) Good for you for making it through okay. Perhaps that could be another mod for me to try further on down the road if I find my weight changing/stalling in future. I had tried this once or twice before i.e. not eating until hungry on weekends (my S Days) but unfortunately...
Hi Dear Kathleen! Just reading your latest post and log. It was a joy to read your latest post. You are doing absolutely great, and it sounds like you're really getting into the mind set now. I've come to appreciate this past couple of months that weight loss etc really is a mind over matter issue. ...
Hi Berry :) Great job on avoiding the diet soda!! I am a bit of diet soda freak and have been trying to cut down (unsuccessfully) and drink more water/flavored water instead. Not doing too great but fingers crossed, I too will be able to drop the habit! I have managed to wean myself off of the cola ...
Hi again Deb! Nice to 'see' you again :) Thanks for your question re. my weekends: actually, I've kinda stopped having S Days altogether and just treat them as N Days now which is basically 3 meals a day with nothing inbetween. As you'll read in some of my previous posts, this seemed to be a natural...
PS: I just found out Reinhard has posted my testimonial on Facebook! Wow! thanks very much, Reinhard ! Again, I am most humbled and flattered at the same time.
Aww! Just popped in to add my sentiments and best wishes to you as well, Deb. I'm sorry I have been a bit quiet lately when it comes to posting to my fellow No Ser's but still thinking of you and glad to hear (from oolala's post above) that you're doing well! :) :) Also, oolala - I did not realize I...
Again, thank you ALL so much for your wonderful messages. So very encouraging and inspirational too. :) To answer your question oolala - as of today (2nd October 2012) I am down approx. 28 lbs. since June. I found that as soon as I gave up the starchy, sweet foods I was having on S Days that I start...
Awww!! Thank you Amy, for your kind words! :oops: :oops: I'm glad you enjoyed it!! I was a little 'concerned' that I hadn't given enough time and thought to what I was writing at the time but I think I was being too critical! Anyway, thanks again for popping in with your lovely message and hope you ...
Hi again oolala! :) :) Many thanks for your great post! So very helpful and some great advice and pointers in there, thank YOU!! :) As I was reading your post, it did suddenly strike me that "you know, I think I have got to that stage where sweet foods don't mean that much to me anymore!" although I...
Thanks Berry! Hear, hear - I agree with everything you wrote - (esp the getting skinny part :P :P ha ha I wish) esp with regards to feeling in control now and at peace with food and eating. It's one less (big) thing to worry about! Yup, DH's birthday is coming up pretty soon and I always bake him a ...
A big HI to you, too, Berry ! :) Thanks so much for stopping by with your support and encouragement. Well done to you too on your ongoing weight success. We are approx the same weight now... wow! I can't believe it. This time last year or even a few months ago I'd never have imagined I'd lose a sign...
Hi again milliem! :) Again, thanks for your nice, supportive comments. Glad you are enjoying and continuing to include the S's ! They are a very important part of No S - especially when you are trying to form lasting habits and I certainly believe this was what kept me going on this plan for as long...
Hi again girls! :) Thanks so much - as always - for popping in again with your supportive and inspirational messages. Many, many congratulations again to you, Mimi on reaching your goal weight. :) Just to answer your question re. my eating habits now vs. a few months ago. I don't have S Days anymore...
Thank you SOOOO much everyone for your kind wishes and inspirational messages! Great to hear from you all and I also send my very best to all of you, too. More than anything, I am so glad - not to mention flattered - that 'lil old me' is helping to inspire and encourage my fellow No Sers! :oops: :oo...
Hi again guys! Just another quickie from me. I really wish I could spend more time on the board, I feel I have so much more to contribute and say to my fellow No Sers! But with time constraints, sadly, I just don't have the time I need to devote to it. I feel as if my testimonial was lacking too... ...
