Yes, I know I have had a series of false starts doing this program, but I have decided I am going to try again. I think that I have a tendency to both overthink this program (when it ultimately is a very simple concept), and to have an all-or-nothing mentality- I have a red N day, I often just want ...

Beth

Hey! So let me say that I logged in after a very long hiatus and was VERY freaked out to see H2Orange mentioned! I thought I was the only person to have tried the NS system :D seemed like no one else had ever heard of it. LA, I agree with you- NS seems much more restrictive than NOS. Although I too ...

Beth

Well, it depends. You should order the More system if you have lots of pounds/inches to lose, lots of health issues, lots of candles on your birthday cake, etc- this system has helped many women for whom the Total System started out to be too strenuous. But at one time, it was only the Total System ...

Beth

Tricia, it works great! The trick is to stay consistant with it! I lost a few clothing sizes when I was doing t-tapp on a consistant basis- but if you stop, you gain it back! The exercises are a mix of muscle/core building, cardio, yoga, dance theory, and pilates. She does have some moves on her sit...

But to be honest, what I mentioned (drink 1 glass of water, 1 during, and 1 after every meal) is the general gist of the whole thing.

Beth

Tongue-in-cheek indeed, but it does sound like he likes the No-S concept

Beth

I am, amazingly, starting to have more successful days than failures! My hardest thing lately has been avoiding an afternoon snack. Something I have found that helps, however, is to drink glasses of water before my meals, during my meals, and after my meals (not my original idea, got this from a fel...

Beth

Thanks for the welcome back, and for the compliments on my kids! They are cutie pies, but we are most definitely in the terrible twos

Beth

WARNING: Very long post! Hi guys, how are you all? I really have missed you, this is such a friendly board to belong to! Well, I have had lots going on lately- hubby lost his job a few months back, while he was job hunting the kiddos stayed at home w/him and I was the breadwinner for a while. Talk a...

Beth

Peetie and Cynthia, Yes I too looked at NT a while back. I too, did not feel comfortable with the "if you even THINK about food, eat something", hated carrying practically a BRIEFCASE of food to work, and even in the book, Ms Antonello tells you what foods to avoid (why do that when I will only bing...

Beth

Well, I hope you had a great day! I did not have an S day on that day, but we did "kind of" celebrate- I got a new Wiggles DVD for my kids! Does that count?

Beth

Well I always wanted to learn to bellydance. I have some DVDs of bellydance at home, but I wanted to take some lessons somewhere first to mkae sure I was getting the moves right. Hula-hooping sounds like fun too- Jessica, I know there are supposed to be classes for it, is this what you are doing, or...

Beth

So did anyone else deal with that mentality of "Since I can't have it, I want it" and if so, how did you deal with that. Patty, I totally get your question; I was there too! I deal with it by telling myself (several times a day) "If I want it, I can have it on an "S" day." I was very very strict th...

Beth

Great job! I hope to join you in the 21 day club soon!

Beth

I had oatmeal this am, with an apple cut up in it- yummy! I also had a little container of yogurt to give me some protein, but let me tell you I was unimpressed- it was the whipped yogurt and it really had a NASTY texture to it IMHO. Well, won't be doing THAT again LOL.

Beth

Thanks for your welcome backs! Yes, those are my sweet twins in my sig pic! I will have to update that soon though b/c they will be 2 already in April! Thanks for the answers to my questions. I am thinking that most quality food seems to keep one's tummy satisfied longer between meals, so I will str...

Beth

Dru, I came here in a rather round about way. First I googled naturally thin and came upon NT, a non diet board that I worked for awhile, but it was lacking for me in several areas. From there I heard about a TTapp board....an exercise board, but it had a nutrition thread, and there was one about T...

Beth

So I am back again. Why did I not jump back into this? Guess I feel like it seems to good to be true, or at least too good to actually work for me (shrug)? I half-heartedly attempted some other ways of eating out there- weight watchers, naturally slim, etc did I lose weight- nope. Did I lose my mind...

Beth

Wow, it has been over a week since my last post. Due to a game I am enrolled in w/T-tapp, I have been doing a daily journal, and am proud to say that I have stuck w/No-S all this last week!!!

Beth

What a fascinating article! Of course, all the companies that promote their "cash cow" diet du jour aren't going to like this. But it fits in with No-S and a few books I have read (10 habits of naturally slim people, Diets Don't work, Intuitive Eating).

Beth

Weds- Success!

Beth

So to finish off Friday: Partial success (I succumbed to a Starbucks chai latte that evening) Saturday(sday): Success Sunday(sday): Success Monday: Partial success (I had some pineapple cake w/berries for a 4th of July treat) Tuesday: Partial success (I had a cookie in the afternoon at the mall- but...

Beth

This is a question for those who have passed their first 21 days+ Do you now find that you are naturally eating less during your No-S meals b/c you get fuller faster now? I am just wondering if when I get to the point of working on cutting back portions, it may be a moot point b/c I won't be cleanin...

Beth

It is really good to see everyone's check ins, and compare to amount I eat, types of foods I eat etc. I guess part of my stumbling block to No-S success has been my fears that 1. I eat too much at my meals and 2. I don't eat enough quality foods on No-S days. But I see that I am eating the same as t...

Beth

no particular reason I guess. The holiday weekend coming up, my beautiful children are learning to walk (and they are SO MUCH FUN to play with!), my second day of No-S (I feel like it is clicking a little more in my mind). I feel grateful to be alive and relatively healthy, grateful for my wonderful...

Beth

So I started again, yesterday (Thurs June 30). I figured what do I have to lose by trying this way of eating out (other than pounds of course)? Especially if I am doing nothing else to lose weight at this time- No S is the least sacrificial weight loss program I have ever seen, even if I do it and s...

Beth

Oh and don't forget that you have to pop a big ol' handful of pills as well....

Beth

Welcome Casey! So I was nosy and looked at your site... is that you and your little one in that pic? What a cutie-pie, and Mama you are a gorgeous gal yourself! :) The hardest part of No-S after all the calorie restricting/food restricting/exercise to death routines of the past? The fact that you ma...

Beth

Fantastic! Glad it is working for you! Still waiting for it to kick in for me, but seeing as I have been doing some very intensive muscle-building exercises, I am sure things are swollen and I am retaining a bit of water- hopefully this will go away before too long! Reinhard, sorry to hear your wife...

Beth

What are the "legalities" of chewing this between meals? Just to give my mouth something to do? I drink lots of water and tea during the day, but sometimes I just need to work the ol' jaw without breaking my no-s plan.

Beth

Now why would anyone be skeptical of this diet?

Beth

It is funny how things work out... I was cleaning up my desk here at work, and came across a little brainstorm session of mine where I listed the properties of what would be a "Dream Diet" for me: 1. Eat when I am hungry, and eat to satisfaction 2. Eat what I want to eat- no food is restricted 3. In...

Beth

Hi Jay, wanted to join in welcoming you here! I checked out your kettlebell site, I had never heard of them before now. They are pretty cool looking! I am glad you and your wife are looking for a lifestyle change, not a calorie/food group/etc restricting diet, as so many of us have been through in t...

Beth

Silly pyramid. There it tells me specifically how much of each group/serving sizes etc, but it seems to be assuming that I am not overweight? I agree, we should eat less junk and more whole foods, for sure. But isn't that what we end up doing w/No-S anyway? We do portion control on the weekdays by e...

Beth

Yay! I did it! I basically added in the img to the beginning and end of my siggy for the siggy pic. For the pics posted in the message body, I used Imageshack to host them, then made the cut and paste selection titled Hotlink for forums (1)... presto! Thanks for the compliments on my babies, by the ...

Beth

OK how about this- some of the latest photos, from their first birthday party: Cowboy Nathan! http://img178.echo.cx/img178/5168/cowboynathan9oy.jpg And Jessica, in the most ironic picture yet (we JUST started getting her to sleep through the night, of the tons of books we have on our shelves, she ha...

Beth

Hi Reinhard and all!
Anyone know the format for posting pics in our signatures? I have a pic of my babies hosted on another site that I would love to link up so everyone could see them here.
Thanks!

Beth

The new forum is AWESOME! If I missed a day or two of reading messages, it used to take me FOREVER to catch up! Thanks Reinhard, for making this easier for us!
