I'm sorry but I'm very unclear as to what not being able to follow the NoS diet has to do with your daughter being accepted to a prestigious college and it being beyond your financial means?

Hi Oolala:

This is great and such good news to share. Thank you!

Just out of curiousity - how do you decide when your next weigh-in day will be? It doesn't seem to be a certain amount of weeks or months...

Well I am benefiting from all of this excellent advice even if Kathleen isn't. I weighed myself this morning after 2 wild S days and I was up 5 lbs!! First off, I shouldn't have weighed myself. But I did, and I almost ditched the diet (I actually considered overeating today to excess, and then start...

Hello Jean:

Thank you for the encouragement - I would be thrilled to lose 43 lbs by the end of this year.

Mar 9/12 - although I lost, this is where I often ditch a diet due to low weight loss (and then actually end up gaining over time through extreme dieting/bingeing). Although it's only a .6 loss, it is still a loss, and I had two quite extreme S days last week. Goals for this week are to exercise a b...

Hi MCS - just wanted to stop by and say hello. I'm fairly new too and I can relate to your struggles - you're doing great though!! I enjoy reading your posts - reminds me so much of my own thoughts.

Hi Kathleen: Just wanted to stop by and sell hello. I'm farily new at this too and my brain trys to constantly tweak things and make it better - generally this has worked for me in life in many ways - it's basically a problem solving technique, trying to see the issue from all angles. In my working ...

Some thoughts on this process I want to make sure I note down: - Past binges for me happened 2-3 x per week, with a resulting weight gain of 1-2 lbs per month. Although in these early stages of the NoS diet, I am having quite wild S days, my mindset is already changing in that it's not a matter of h...

I've only just started on No S (on it now for a week) but I knew Fridays were going to be a challenge so I made Friday and Saturday my S days. So far this is working, because Sundays aren't an issue for me. I've read pros and cons on here about switching S days so maybe more of the experienced Noser...

Hello Haley! I'm new too. I have lost 1.1 lbs after one week, and I am thrilled with that.

Good luck to you - I really feel this is the answer.

Hello everyone: Reading everyone's posts has made me realize that my trials and tribulations with dieting, and the resulting frustrations (and weight gain) are experienced by so many other people that I actually feel normal! It's kind of like realizing that every family is dysfunctional in its own w...

Thank you everyone for your replies. I am going to look at this as an opportunity to change the way I interact with foods - especially sweets. I have had an emotional eating problem for 35 years, and I have tried therapy, intuitive eating, most diets out there - it's robbed me of a peaceful life. It...

Hello everyone; I am just about to start the No S diet and I'm wondering whether to separate the S days. I am an emotional eater and I find it difficult to go beyond 3 days without eating sweets. I'm thinking about making Wednesday and Saturday S days. Is there a reason S days are back to back other...
