SW: 147 (as of June 21) CW: 137.8! (as of this morning) Total loss: 9.2 My version of No-S is really working for me! I take 1 S-day (now I'm doing it on Fridays) and on the other days, I focus on eating a lot of fruits and vegetables and no junk or sugar. My logic of being a little bit more strict i...

Now, I should say as a disclaimer, that while I'm using the No-S techniques, I am carefully considering the food I'm putting on my plates. It was the only way to get the scale moving down...

thank you! You're absolutely right, which is why I'm completely okay with weighing every day and tracking those ups and downs. Every time I've gone "off" weighing, it's true that I don't have to see the daily fluctuations, but in general, I make not so wise choices because I know that I don't have t...

Down to 142.4, so I think I'm rid of all my extra water weight! Five pounds in three days? Definitely not real weight, what a relief! Tomorrow I'm having lunch with friends and am going to use my one-plate rule! No seconds and nothing sweet! Having meals with friends doesn't have to be a minefield (...

I sure wish I knew the solution to the weight gain with period, too. I start bloating up a few days before my period and pretty much stay that way all the way through my period until a few days AFTER.
