Did fine today. I can have another meal if I want to, as I skipped lunch, but think I will probably just skip it. Dinner was sausage, noodles, and broccoli. Yummy :) My weight is the same. I can't seem to stay off the scales. DH likes to weigh everyday, so I can't put the scales up and can't seem to...

WTG Gemma!! Hope you have a great time at your niece's wedding.

I've been good, all S's so far. I'm really looking forward to my S days this weekend, though.

I've been craving homemade ice cream milkshakes and popcorn.

Hope everyone else is doing well.

Aquapixie

Thanks for sharing your opinions. In the end, I didn't eat another meal, though I had mentally prepared for one.

I'm in the same situation again today. At breakfast at 11:30am and will have supper at 6 or 6:30. Will play it by ear again and if I'm hungry eat.

Aquapixie

Woo Hoo! I made it through 3 weeks!! I've lost 5 pounds. I'm a bit disappointed in that I lost the 5 a week ago and haven't lost anything since, still I'm happy. Hopefully I'll lose another 5 in 3 weeks.

Today was a green day.

Aquapixie

Thanks Gina

I appreciate your response and I think you're probably right about being very hungry tomorrow.

Thanks again.

Aquapixie

Do you ever have a skipped meal later in the day? Today we had breakfast at 11am and then didn't eat again until 7pm. If I eat a sandwich or something is it a snack?

Thanks for your help.

Aquapixie

Hope everyone had a great weekend!! I'm ready for another week of No S days.

Aquapixie

Did well yesterday. Not feeling particularly hungry this morning, but I feel overwhelmingly tired. I have to take my daughter to school, then I may come home and sleep, though I really need to be cleaning.... *sigh* Not sure why I'm exhausted. I slept okay last night, though I did have bad dreams. M...

Aquapixie

The Mom's retreat was awesome. I feel refreshed and ready to tackle the rest of the year. We had baked chicken, mashed potatoes, and green beans for supper. Then cake and a few chips and two dove candy pieces. Breakfast was sweet rolls, muffins, ect. I had 1/2 of three different things. Then for lun...

Aquapixie

I went to school in late 70's / 80's. I remember the 4 food groups. We had a milk break in the morning, where we got a carton of milk and for lunch we could pick chocolate or white milk. I don't remember ever having salad. We had pizza once a week and fries every day. I don't remember the desserts i...

Aquapixie

You're so right Starla!! Well put.

Aquapixie

I'm going on a Mom's retreat this evening. Not sure how / what I'll be eating, but since it doesn't start until 5, I'll be on the S part of my day. I'm feeling a bit hungry this morning. Weird, as I hadn't really felt hungry in the morning. Maybe I'm just thirsty. I weighed this morning.... up a pou...

Aquapixie

Have had a lazy day, so far today. I'm not feeling terribly well and I've a lot to do. Will be going out in an hour or two, to run errands, get groceries. Breakfast: mushroom soup with Ritz crackers. (it was 11:20 when we ate.) 1 cup of tea with honey and milk. Lunch: nachos and dip Supper: chicken ...

Aquapixie

What a cool idea Mrs J! I might have to try that sometime.

Aquapixie

Thanks Naomi :) It really is becoming a habit. :) Yay for us. :) Yesterday was good. Brunch - mushroom soup and ritz crackers out during lunch, so skipped it. Had two irish coffees and for supper we went to logans. I did really well! Had one roll with butter, 1/2 of a ribeye steak, a handful of frie...

Aquapixie

Today makes two weeks since I started this program! Yay! It's working!! I've lost 5 pounds!! Woo Hoo!!! I'm so excited. :) I realize I won't be able to sustain this level of lose, but woot woot! I'm happy today. We're going to attempt to make homemade dumplings today. They're my girl's favorite food...

Aquapixie

Aww! Thanks so much!!

Aquapixie

Monday, March 1st! Woo Hoo :) A new month, and oh so closer to spring!! Breakfast : tomato soup and ritz crackers. 2 cups of hot tea with honey and milk I ate at 10:30am, so not really breakfast but, I'm going to have something for lunch soon. Not sure what. Lunch : nacho and cheese. This was a poor...

I've heard the term glass ceiling several times on this board, but I can't figure out it's meaning. Please help! Am I missing something imporatant?

Thanks

Aquapixie

Thanks Dandelion :) Another junk day. Brunch - chicken noodle soup with crackers Snacks- popcorn (left over from last night.) Slice of chess bar, (it's all gone!) Also, a small bag of cheetos. I bought the big variety box of chips, since I can have them with my lunches. Not sure what we'll have for ...

Aquapixie

I'm ready for this cold to be gone, though it seems to want to stick around. The only good thing about it, is I'm not really hungry. Of course, it could be this new way of eating that is diminishing my appetite. I hope so. :) I haven't eaten anything today, though it's nearly 10am. I have had two cu...

Aquapixie

Hi Naomi! WTG on all your successes

I like how you modified your meal times, what a great idea!

Aquapixie

Hey

Hope all is going well today. Just wanted to say Hullo!

I ordered Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day! It came this morning! I'm excited to try it out. Thanks for recommending it.

Aquapixie

I'm in, too! Dd's birthday is also the 17th, Reneew!! She'll be 11 this year and I'll have an S day that day, too. :) I'm excited about starting! I've been doing okay since starting this program, but want to do even better. This month's goal is to work on the quality of my diet, cut out more of the ...

Aquapixie

Day 10! Woo Hoo!! It's hard to believe I've been at it this long. It's not been that hard, though there have been moments that seemed to last hours. It's getting easier and easier. Today is half N day, half S day. Yay! I'm really looking forward to it. Breakfast / Lunch - Ham and cheese croissant an...

Aquapixie

Today is going to be another day out of the house. Had raisin bran for breakfast and a cup of hot tea. Not sure about lunch yet, I'll either eat before we go, (very early,) or pick something up while we're out, (not very healthy.) I'm going to try to drink more water today. I feel thirsty. We didn't...

Aquapixie

Made it through another day! :) Feeling much, much better. Didn't get much done at home, but had a great time visiting with friends at the park. Then dh and I watched an old movie. It was pretty good, though a bit too deep. I skipped breakfast, then for lunch we ate at Arby's. I had an order of pota...

Aquapixie

*hugs* Hope today is better, and like the others, your weird situation clears up.

You've been doing awesome and you keep it up!

Aquapixie

Still not feeling well, but I have such a busy day, I can't stay in bed. Breakfast- Cream of Wheat with a little bit of sugar (it wasn't as sweet as I would normally have it and it was okay.) 2 slices of toast with butter. Just got home, after running around all day. Had a ham and cheese sandwich wi...

Aquapixie

I've been in bed most of the day, but it's been a success, at least so far. I had hot tea with sugar and milk for breakfast. Just not hungry. At lunch time, I had 1/2 a sausage biscuit with jelly. I couldn't remember if jelly / jam is allowed or not, but thought I'd treat it like the sugar in coffee...

Aquapixie

Hi Dandelion :) Thanks :) Feeling a bit better today, though not normal. Almost took a S day for Sick, but decided not, too. Do you do the roast potatoes?? I think that is my all time favorite British food. Speaking of British foods, have you seen this webpage http://www.britishbacon.com/comersus7f/...

Aquapixie

Hey :) That book looks really good. I downloaded a sample to my kindle. I might by it. We had roast goose for Christmas the year before last. Yummy :) I didn't think about saving the fat. That's a great idea to cook with. I use butter, though to fry with I use peanut oil. My S days for this week are...

Aquapixie

Hi Aquapixie. Good to hear from someone who has had experience of very low carb. Very good to hear (although sad too!) that you're in the same boat, makes me feel alone. I'm sure that unfortunately there are loads like us out there. I know what you mean. :) What was it, in your case, that didn't wo...

Aquapixie

Hi Cassie, *hugs* I've done the same thing. In November I was down to 177 and now I'm nearly 200. Try not to dwell on it, start afresh from this moment. I too, am coming from a lowcarb background. It just doesn't work long term. I think lower carb is the way to go, and is what I will eventually work...

Aquapixie

It's hard to believe I'm at day 4 already. This had been almost painless. I've been up for an hour and a half and I'm just starting to get hungry. The eggs and bacon really worked yesterday, so I'm going to add bacon to my breakfast this morning. I wanted to have cream of wheat, but just found out I...

Aquapixie

Hi Dandelion :) MMmm fried potatoes, cooked in bacon grease. I'm going to have to have those soon. This way of life is really wonderful with all we can eat. BTW, my husband is English. We've lived in the US for so long, he's a bit Americanized now. lol He even says Garbage can instead of rubbish bin...

Aquapixie

Hi Dandelion :) Browsing this site has gotten me through many times over the last few days. It really is a good idea. Though, I have found myself craving peanut butter and jelly sammies and cream of wheat, after reading about what people are eating! I'm planning on having the cream of wheat for brea...

Aquapixie

This is the craziest one I've ever seen. Okay, I admit it. I've thought of trying it. lol

Aquapixie

Thanks y'all for sharing your experiences. I guess it all comes down to being patient and not trying to compare to others.

I think I'll try to do the only weighing every 21 days, too. Not sure I can still with it, but I'm going to give it a shot.

Aquapixie

Aquapixie

Thanks for replying Dandelion and Izbiz.

5 pounds in two weeks is awesome, as is a steady rate. Do you know why you didn't lose the first two weeks, Dandelion?

Aquapixie

Has anyone found, that when you first go on this way of eating, you lose weight faster at the beginning? I'm sure I have ate much, much less yesterday and today, than I did the previous two days. If I keep it up, it stands that I will lose. I know a lot of people have said they gained or lost very l...

Aquapixie

LOL! It just occurred to me that the forum is for "daily" check in. For me, it's been nearly "hourly" lol never mind, whatever works! Okay, I just had lunch. It was yummy and filling. I filled my bowl with soup and crackers, then commenced eating. The funny thing was, 3/4 of the way through my soup,...

Aquapixie

Hi Donna :) Good luck on starting again. I think having a 4th meal or snack, can really work for some people. Especially if you have a long time between meals. I'll be looking for your update about giving up the sugar / flour. That's what I did, while on Atkins. Right now, I'm having flour, and a li...

Aquapixie

Day 2- So far, so good. I had the same breakfast as yesterday, a bowl of raisin bran. For lunch, I'm going to have chicken noodle soup and crackers. I do love soup and bread. I've done low carb before and that was forbidden. I might add something to it, but I'm not sure what it would be. I decided n...

Aquapixie

Hi Naomi, Thank you so much for encouraging me. You're so right, that it's difficult but easier in a way, from the complicated diet plans. I tend to be a binge eater. I think I'm addicted to food, if that is possible. But addictions are habits, so I just (as if it's easy!) to break the habit and it ...

Aquapixie

Thanks Oliviamanda

I can use alll the tips I can get. I'll try to have a larger breakfast tomorrow and see how that effects me.

Aquapixie

I had my dinner about 2 hours ago. I'm not feeling terribly hungry, but have an almost uncontrollable urge to eat. We're going to the grocery store in a bit, as it's been snowing here the last week and we're out of everything. I'm trying to think of foods that are yummy, nutritious, and filling to g...

Thanks Black Angel,

I meant to post in the daily check-in area, I must have clicked back before posting. Should I move it there? I'd love comments, but don't want to be in the wrong area.

Aquapixie

I failed miserably on my last challenge, so I'm beginning afresh. Today is day 1. So far, so good. I had raisin bran cereal with milk for breakfast and mushroom soup with crackers for lunch. Supper will be pasta with peppers and sausage. This journal is going to be a place to come when I think about...

Well, so far I've had a great day, a good day, an okay day, and a fail. Not giving up though.

It's 3 weeks until Valentines Day. 21 Days. I'm going to try very hard to stick with NOS until then. I restarted (for the third time, sad I know,) today. We stayed up way late last night, so didn't get up until 10:20am. Had breakfast at 12:30pm. I had an egg salad sandwich. It was yummy. I feel fair...
