Hi Reinhard, I've greatly benefited from your every day systems website, podcast, and discussion. I've been using a modified No S diet for a few years which has helped me effortlessly maintain a 30 lb weight loss (I'm only 5'4'' so that's saying something!). I've started doing shovelglove (results T...

Wanted to thank Reinhard for posting his thoughts about No S on the internet! Over the past year and a half I've maintained a 30 lb weight loss (I'm 5'4'' female, 126 lb down from ~ 156) after losing it over the prior year. While I did do intermittent fasting which probably resulted in most of the w...

Just broke the vow...all out binge ensued

jld141

Ugh, after over the top S day weekend I failed again today when my roommate offered me cookies :( I ate 4... I knew I was breaking the rules, obviously, but I wanted one. I need to learn that delayed gratification is the only way this will work. Tomorrow is a new day and I vow to be done for the nig...

Hi everyone, In order to combat the "what-the-hell effect" that is a big problem for me when I fail on NoS, I've decided to record my failures here as Reinhard suggests. I was doing really well on my first week and yesterday, for some reason, I just ate way too many chips...like a whole big bag. So ...

jld141

Thank you all for your responses! I'm sad to say that today was a failure...

I think the reason was that the bag of popcorn was there, and I really didn't want to study.

Lesson learned: don't buy snacks or go to the library to study.

Tomorrow is another day!

jld141

I was trying to follow No S with just using Habit Cal, but I realized that I'm never going to get anywhere when I keep failing and my failures turn into "what the hell" "all or nothing" binge episodes. So I have decided to report my failures here so that I am held accountable!!!

jld141

Hi guys, Question for all of you No Sers... I was just curious: how does this plan work for everyone? If everyone has 3 plates a day, and plates are roughly the same size, how can a short small woman and a big tall man eat the same and both lose weight? Clearly they are different heights and they wo...

jld141

Thanks for all of the advice everyone! oolala -- unfortunately I am in engineering and all of my classrooms are equipped with computers and have a strict no food policy haha However, I do think the splitting it into two is a good idea. Maybe I can have one early and one after classes. Good call on t...

jld141

Hi Everyone! One problem I'm having with sticking with No S is hunger...my problem is that I am a college student and have class non-stop throughout the day (basically I'll eat breakfast at 6:00 AM and I won't get another break till 2:30 or sometimes not even until 4:30). Because of this, I don't ha...

jld141

You are an inspiration! So many greens!

jld141

Yeah.....so I fell off the wagon, AGAIN

But I'm getting right back on!

(Tomorrow is an S day though haha so I guess I'm getting right back on after Easter!)

jld141

That's definitely a good way to look at it!

Unfortunately, I had another failure yesterday :(

Today and tomorrow are S days and I will enjoy them (though not go crazy), and then I'm going to shoot for a perfect green week next week. Gonna try to end March on a good note!

jld141

Ughh thanks No BS! Your encouragement means a lot! I have been on a hiatus from the daily check in but have still been using habitcal. Ever since spring break I haven't been doing so well, and have already had 4 red days this month (2 this week, 2 last week). I thought getting back into my routine a...

jld141

That's really encouraging to hear MJ7910...Today I just feel really fat and gross and wish I could just start over all of the times I binged and stuffed myself. I wish I could take them all back. Obviously, I can't, and I think the only way to succeed is to accept the fact that weight loss will be s...

Sunday March 17th: S Day

Much more tame of an S day than yesterday, and ready to get back into my routine after spring break with a solid week of No S

jld141

Thanks for the encouragement No BS! That's a good way to look at it. I'm blaming my recent streak of failures on "that time of the month" Today is an S day and I snacked a lot, but I realized that it made me feel sick and drowsy. The reason I chose No S is that it makes me feel good, and I need to r...

Ughhh March 15th: FAILURE

ANOTHER failure, this week has not been good! Stressed with lots of stuff going on so hopefully next week will be better. I'll be more focused and back into my routine.

Just gotta move on and know that it will take effort but I FEEL better when I am compliant!

jld141

Thursday March 14th: FAILURE I knew I wanted to keep my green streak alive, but the temptation to eat some chocolate took over and I had a piece. Luckily, I didn't succumb to the WTH effect this time...but it was a close call. Ughhh I'm so close to the weekend too :( Oh well, time to move on to tomo...

jld141

Wednesday March 13th: SUCCESS! Good success after my failure on Tuesday. Although it wasn't easy. I am home on spring break, and still had to fight the urge to go back to my old habit and raid all of the cabinets when I got home. Hopefully over time this urge will go away and it will become easier a...

jld141

Thanks Over 43! I'm the same way with the short attention span...

Thanks for the encouragement!

jld141

Tuesday March 12th: FAILURE Well I guess it was just a matter of time! I ate a ton today and had kind of a WTH effect at the end, and I didn't exercise. Now I feel bad about myself. I should remember this feeling so the temptation to fail/WTH lessens in intensity. Oh well tomorrow is another day! Go...

jld141

Thanks for the recommendations everyone!

jld141

Thanks so much for the info/encouragement!! You're an inspiration!

Monday March 11th: [color=green] SUCCESS![/color] Feels good to get back to No-Sing after feeling so bloated all weekend. Although I am really tempted to snack right now--so I put in my retainer to help haha I'm a little bit hungry but I can last another 2 hours before bed. I really hope this can be...

jld141

Sunday March 10th: S day

Definitely more tame than yesterday, although I did have snacks, sweets and seconds...

I do feel a lot better when I'm No-Sing. I felt sick all day today because of my major S day yesterday.

jld141

Thanks No BS! It was rough to make it to the weekend, but I felt so much better and my urge to snack went away within an hour! Sat March 9: S Day WITH A CAPITAL S! Man, I ate sooo much food today it was ridiculous. I think it's because I couldn't really plan an "S" that I really wanted, so I went ho...

jld141

Hello all! I have realized that the best way to make No S work for me is to be as strict as possible. The one problem I'm having with this is the fact that I don't always have access to a plate. I am a college student and have to eat on the run a lot of times. Not only does this limit my food choice...

jld141

Hi ironchef! I just read your daily/weekly check in and was truly inspired! You are such a good example of how No S is supposed to work, and I really want it to work the same way for me too. I'm starting out at a similar weight as you did (although I am a lot shorter so I have a little bit more to l...

jld141

Thanks MJ7910! It helps to know that the first week was hard for you too. I really only have half a week so far (started on Wednesday). It's Friday night and I want to snack or have a sweet SOOOOO bad right now. I just have to make it a few more hours before bed and tomorrow is an S day. It wasn't t...

jld141

Thanks No BS! I agree, working out really helps me to strengthen my focus on my goals! I wish I had more time to do it for that long every day! Today is going to be another green day, I can feel it. Had a really healthy breakfast and will be busy all day so my mind won't be on food. I am always good...

jld141

Thanks Amy3010! The encouragement from everyone on this board is definitely going to help a ton!!! Thanks so much! Today was pretty much a perfect day. Gotta brace myself for tougher days ahead, but I worked out for an hour and didn't even feel the need to snack after dinner (which is when I usually...

jld141

Feeling a lot better today and I think I'm actually going to stick to NO S this time. I reached a turning point last night and I'm ready to stop being crazy in my mind and start living a normal life! So far so good--healthy breakfast of oatmeal and coffee, I feel better already!!!

jld141

Thanks No BS! Your post is exactly what I needed to read right now!

jld141

Day 1: 3/5: FAILURE
Wow, I failed on my first day! So that kinda sucks. It's hard when your roommates buy oreos....blahhhh feeling bad about myself, but I know the only way to continue is to just pick myself back up. Tomorrow will be a SUCCESS for sure I am determined!!!!!

jld141

Hey Everyone! I read about No S a while ago and was immediately excited by the idea. It made so much sense, seemed sustainable, and I was excited to start. However, after trying and failing over a dozen times, I am back and ready to start again. This time though, I think I've learned from my many fa...

jld141

Ok so I have probably tried No S a dozen times and failed each time before the 21 days. Does anyone have any tips to keep the mental focus? I know how much better I feel on No S, I know how much easier it is than counting calories and how sustainable and smart it is, but for some reason when I'm the...

jld141

Hey No-Sers! I have a question, what should I do if I don't have time to take a lunch break? I'm a college student and have class non-stop most days, and I work in a lab during lunch hour and am not able to eat a meal. Usually I'll bring almonds and a granola bar or something and eat it on the shutt...

jld141

Thanks everyone! :D

12/28/12 Day 1: No S day [color=green]SUCCESS![/color]
I'm ready to start and excited. However it's kind of unfortunate that tomorrow is already an S day and so far I've only done 1/2 of a No S day...but that's okay. I really want to stick to NO S this time! See ya tomorrow!

jld141

Hello!!! This is DAY 1 of No-S..although it's really only a half a day because it's already 12:00 pm and I didn't follow NO S this morning, but hopefully I can actually stick to this plan this time. I'm tired of feeling bad about myself. I'll check in tonight to see how well I stuck to it today!!!

jld141

Hey No-Sers! So I decided to make a public declaration to say that I AM BACK TO NO S FOR GOOD. I've tried No S a bunch of times, and always made it about a week before I failed a few days in a row and gave up. Since then I've tried calorie counting, cutting out all junk food, etc etc, and none of th...

jld141

I'm back to No S after failing about 3 times before this, but I really need a strict set of rules to keep me in check. Here are the reasons I think I failed the first time and I wonder if anyone has any ideas to help address these: 1) If I mess up once early in the day, I just regard the entire day ...

jld141

Thank you so much everyone for your responses! I wish I would've read this before I just had another failure and snacked after dinner. But I really appreciate everyone giving me some pep talks. They definitely helped! I think I just need to be more mindful until No S becomes a habit. In my logical m...

jld141

I'm feeling so discouraged right now! I've done a week of No-S so far, and had one red day, and was excited to start this week and have a perfect week, but all of a sudden I just went on a snacking binge that was out of control!!! : I came home from work decently hungry and scarfed down a bowl of ch...

jld141

July 27th: Success :D July 28th: S-day, but kinda went overboard. Had lots of crackers and popcorn as a snack after a big lunch which included a big chocolate chip cookie and then I ate a ton of dove chocolates....I hope my overboard S days do not inhibit my weight loss! July 29th: S-day, again went...

jld141

Hi Everyone! I have a problem. Recently I've seem to become OBSESSED with food. All I do is think about food. What I'm going to eat, when I'm going to eat it, how much I'm going to eat. How many calories are in each food, if it is healthy if it is not. This is really starting to drive me crazy. I'm ...

jld141

Thanks for all of the advice! I've decided to stick with it. I was good the past couple of days. I guess I'm just going to be one of those people that doesn't get it right away...it may take me a few tries, but I want to lose weight more than anything!

jld141

Ugh another day of messing up. I've decided that peanut butter is going to be an S food for me, because I can't seem to stop eating it once I start!

Why can't I get going on this plan??? I need to just focus and really try harder because I'm starting to think about giving up!

jld141

Yeahhh so today was a failure. I was doing okay, and then my grandma offered me a piece of cake, and I tried to resist at first, but she wouldn't take no for an answer. I know that this is no excuse, but at the time I was weak and gave in. And I felt bad for cheating after that and was still starvin...

jld141

Thanks for the support Liz! I really hope to lose weight finally once and for all. I've been trying so many things only to lose about 5 pounds and then go right back up again. I really hope this time it sticks. Today was a successful No S day, although I think I had a little bit more than 1 plate fu...

jld141

I've been doing No S since the beginning of May but have had a lot of red days. I think it's time for me to do the 21 day challenge, and hopefully by posting it on here it'll become easier for me to resist temptation to snack. I don't have too much weight to lose, I'm 5'3'' and 135 pounds. I'd like ...
