no bs
keep working on them.

Y'all just reminded me that I may have to feel a little uncomfortable while doing this and that it's okay. Literally saved me from finishing off some VERY VERY bad Valentine crap, walked outside and tossed it in the compost pile (a place I will never dig it out of). Sounds extreme but let's be hones...

HoeHanna

Soul searching.... Monday I started back to using the recipes from FormulaZone and although they call for 2 snacks, I'm just eating as much from those recipes as will fit on my down-sized plate and skipping the 2 snacks. The recipes are normal foods, except they cut out sugar and crank up the protei...

I'm all in for both the number scale and the color scale. I'm very much a person who throws in the towel after one failure. I know it's just an excuse but my inner-trickster is always looking for ways to talk me into pigging out to the point of illness and self loathing. Hope I can incorporate these...

HoeHanna

hope you get better quick, I guess this is the season for illness. Hang in there, and don't give up.

HoeHanna

Like that you said "Negative calories are where my future weight loss lives!" In fact I like a lot of things I see on EveryDay Systems. Think I'll have to write this one on my fridge.

HoeHanna

I like your idea MJ. May have to incorporate that one myself. Also brings to mind the thought of a color chart that goes from green to red with brown being the middle.... well, you get the idea.

From oolala53 in response to me talking about juicing:
Let your jaws do the juicing!
I LOVED it!

HoeHanna

Just got off HSN to check out the yonana maker, I'm sold! I need that thing so bad. OMGOSHIES! Healthy dessert, who knew?

HoeHanna

kudos to you, good to see you are hanging tough. I have some cabbage roasting in the oven for dinner. It's 5:07 p.m. here, it should be done about 6. I'll eat it with some grilled chicken and I'll juice a small glass of juice I make out of beets, sweet potato and carrots for "dessert". I've decided ...

HoeHanna

I'd make room on my counter for one. Looking into it now. Thanks!

HoeHanna

For ME, incorporating smarter choices onto our plates of food doesn't really count as another diet. I like to imagine the whole point of no-s is to be creative while making healthy choices and developing better habits. I know I'm trying new things while still trying to stick to the rule; so sugar, s...

HoeHanna

Thanks everyone for all the good feedback. Gardening is not for wimps, I CAN tell you that. :P What I have going on out there is pretty good so far. I have pear, peach and cherry trees (cherries aren't old enough to give anything yet). I have 6 blueberry bushes and 3 raspberry bushes, 4 concord grap...

HoeHanna

A lot of people use fruits for dessert. I personally like chocolate so I have invented my own little treat made out of dark hershey's cocoa (no sugar in it), some pecans, a dab of butter, a spoon of milk and a little Truvia nuked in the microwave in a little bowl and set it on my plate. If I take ex...

HoeHanna

You've certainly got a HUGE amount laid out for yourself. Sounds very detailed. You have a lot of words pouring out of you, how many pages do you write on your novel each week?

HoeHanna

Just love your daily posts, they remind me everyday of how easy this should be and how important accountability is. So this month I will try to actually USE the red/green calendar. Thanks

HoeHanna

sounds solid. I'd take that percentage rate anyday. Good going.

HoeHanna

I know the habit is what we're changing here but am I a bad sport if I want the whipped topping, nuts & cherries on top forming a good new habit? I know it's important, but I would be lying BIG TIME if I said I didn't care about the weight loss, please, please, PLEASE let it be a side-effect of this...

HoeHanna

gk, regarding your post on amy's check in.... I was walking 4-5 miles every morning 2 years ago when my feet, ankles and hip started hurting so much, I went to an orthopedic doc, he x-rayed and found nothing so I cut back but still couldn't get it to feel right, so I quit all together for 3 months a...

HoeHanna

Every time I get on here, I get a new lesson. I like that you KICKED the crap out of unwanted cravings the way you did. New way to look at and deal with those out-of-the-blue moments.

HoeHanna

Okay, so back went out again because I'm a dumbass sometimes and forget that I have limits. Another habit I may have to apply the no-s spirit to. Let's try this thing again. I've spent these last few days caught up planning my edible garden for this year after watching a few videos on NetFlix. I wat...

HoeHanna

Amy, no-bs is correct, If you don't eat enough, you will graze all the time. I tested it and FAILED!!!!

HoeHanna

Today=FAILURE in a big way. Would like to blame Pinterest again but we all know how lame that excuse is. Although it's officially an S-Day, I had no intentions of going this crazy. All I can do is try again tomorrow and try to salvage the rest of the evening. Thanks to y'All for the well wishes. It ...

HoeHanna

Fridays are tough for me as well. And there's no way on earth I could ahve stopped at one serving of blueberry cobbler, my fave. Failed misserably yesterday, was on the high end of a bi-polar day and became a bottomless eating machine, Maybe not as bad as before I started this but bad none-the-less....

HoeHanna

I mix a little Hersheys Special Dark Cocoa (powdered-no sugar) with a little pack of Truvia, a tad of butter and enough milk to make it spreadable & some Pecans. Spread them on waxed paper and freeze it. Then I break off a small piece and put it on my plate for the last thing I eat at dinner. It REA...

HoeHanna

Looks like you've been at this a while, I just started last week. Looks like you are active on the check-in. Hope success for you and for me.

HoeHanna

helps so much to have a partner on board. Good going.

HoeHanna

All my hope for starting my exercises this week flew out the door when my back went out at work yesterday, had to come home and lay low (literally). Hoping to get back on the horse next week. Being home and sitting/lying all day does horrible things with your mind regarding food. Luckily the pain ke...

HoeHanna

Went a little overboard on my first s-day, probably treat today more like an n-s day, birthday cake and ice-cream, enchiladas, etc.... Still though, I lost 2 pounds last week (my 1-st week here). Can't believe how much I am not eating compared to what I was eating. Those snacks and grazing really ad...

HoeHanna

good one, I like this a lot.

HoeHanna

Rachelocity: I Like the P&P diet word does play with my head, too many expectation, etc.... I also Humbotsconnie: Good luck, I have a lot to lose also and try to keep the meals to a maximum of around 500 calories. You're right on the math and this is what I have to do. I don't really count calories ...

HoeHanna

LOVE IT!!! I'm a newbie, started 5 geen days ago! I heart your last post, might print it out for inspiration.

HoeHanna

I do not wish the flu on anyone but if it's helping you kickstart this thing, then use it. I hope you are hanging in there and taking it seriously. I've jsut started and DO NOT ant the novelty to wear off, EVER! I feel so good after a week of green days. Glad for the S-days though. Now I have 2 days...

HoeHanna

Jsut started myself this week and 5 green days for me is a HUGE ordeal. So excited for an S-Day, can't wait to see if I can do 5 more green days next week.

HoeHanna

What inswsn said: "I'm so proud of you! Everyone always thinks the infamous phrase "I'll start again tomorrow...", but not you - you say "I'm starting again right now!" Good job getting right back on track instead of making excuses." It's been one hell of a 1st week for me as well, I have had 5 gree...

HoeHanna

Thanks you guys. I hear you loud & clear Oolala. Like you said "the time will pass anyway". I guess that's what finally hit me this year harder than before, the fact that the year will pass and I didn't want to be sitting here in January of 2014 thinking to myself (like I have for the past 8 or more...

HoeHanna

If I could say that I lost that I'd be having a very "Special" day to celebrate, maybe even an orange julius. I have a very LONG way to go also and seeing your post inspires me that I'm moving in the right direction. YAY US!

HoeHanna

You say you've lost weight with this albeit, SLOWLY. Have you been very strict or have you come and gone a lot and do you exercise? I'm thinking of throwing a few moves in with this to kick it up a notch. I'm only on my 3rd day and right now the smell of a roast coking is about to send me off the de...

HoeHanna

Somehow got through another day. Felt better today, must be the lack of sugar. Pinterest almost did me in, all those damn cake recipes with pictures. But now it's time for bed so unless I'm a sleep walker/eater, I'm good.

HoeHanna

Day 2 and doing well.... Found it almost impossible yesterday. Today wasn't half bad though, just have to make it to bedtime without snacking. Cannot wait until the "habit" sticks. Pretty sure I can do this.

HoeHanna

I've been on every diet known to man and finally got so fed up that I googled "no excuse diet plans" and somehow found my way to no S. First simple, intelligent, no excuse diet I've ever seen. I've read the page several times. It speaks to the part of me that thinks I'm going to outsmart all those o...
