I have really overdone it on food this weekend, partly because the hubby and I were celebrating Valentine's Day and partly because I was so happy to be able to eat solid food again after the colonoscopy.
I will hopefully have a good get-back-on-track N DAY tomorrow.

Re: Sammy's Daily Check In
Welp, due to the tropical storm, my doctor's office had no power, so now my appointment has been pushed back to November 10th. :S Which means I have to suffer more heartburn daily for two weeks. T_T

Re: automated eating tracker
I think the advent and complete over-use of cellphones has probably contributed to the writing, complex thinking, and memory skills decline we see not only in young people, but also in adults. :( I am trying really hard to use my cell phone less around my daughter --even though she's only 6 weeks ol...

Re: Sammy's Daily Check In
The daily weighing is also driving me crazy. I think focusing on the habits and trusting the process is a great plan. For the first year of NoS that’s pretty much what I did. I had a lot of piled plates and just did whatever it took to stick to 3 plates. Anyway, you got this! Thank you! Yeah, I'm a...

Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling discouraged with No s. I have been doing IF 16/8 for a long time and just recently was able to move up to 19/5(it was a slow process) and it has been really helpful to pair it with the No S guidelines. Weight loss is slow but it is happening. And, No...

In that month of total adherence I lost NO WEIGHT. I was actually up by a few tenths of a pound. At least I didn't gain right? But I'm DONE havin...

I read that as the number 5 at first, too. But, I think that's the letter S, not the number 5!
