What a fantastic post! Really puts things in perspective. I am going to print it out for easy reference; this will most certainly keep me on track.
Thanks

Hi Elizabeth 7, I'm glad my post helped you out. I an doing the same thing this time. I find it easier to stick to No S by spreading out the S days. First, one does not have to wait so long for a reward. Also, there is not as much of a desperate urge to go wild on S days, because the next one is not...

Thanks Everyone, Yes, Holocene and Reinhard, I see exactly what you mean. That is a most helpful perspective. That sounds so understated, but I really mean that. Thanks. I really feel much better already. Today is day 7, so I am just shy of a compete week. I am getting used to not snacking (the hard...

I am back...confession time
I have been debating, but think it's time to post. I started a thread in the testimonials section a while back, almost a year ago I think, about losing 10 lbs in 10 weeks. Since that time, in a nutshell, I lost another lb, went off No S, lost another 3, and was actually able to maintain my weight fo...

Mariposa1127, I think the S days mod is the key to sticking with No S this time. On my previous attempts, which I think was at least 4, I would just be nuts by the time Sat rolled around, and pretty much permasnack all weekend long. Not every single weekend, but most. I felt as if each weekend I los...

I am very all-or-nothing. On the previous attempts with No S, if I had a couple red days, I'd abandon the whole thing. The longest I ever made it was 6 weeks, which really isn't too bad. This time, it's been since Jan 1 and I am still going strong. So what's different this time? I think the most imp...

10 lbs in 10 weeks
Subject heading is not to brag, but to show that weight loss doesn't have to be really slow on NO S. I consider 10 lbs in 10 weeks a pretty good rate of weight loss. First the stats. I am 3 weeks shy of 52 today, and female. I am 5.5" tall, and went from 138 lbs to 128 lbs. My mods: S days are Mon a...

I don't think that we go from something being habit to hobby just because it is more time-consuming than unobtrusive. To my mind, a habit is something that we do with regularity because it has become part of our routine, no matter how much time it takes. I do my housework like you, and also exercise...

Great post! I'm on about my 5th attempt at No S. I keep coming back because I don't want to weigh, measure, or count anything. It takes up way too much time and mental energy that could be better spent elsewhere, as your husband points out. I also get a lot of exercise, 8 hours a week or so on avera...

I just want to add a bit to my previous post. When I say it's working, I don't mean just weight loss. I am happier doing No S than not. I don't weigh, count, or measure anything. No food groups are restricted. I eat what I want to, and am not obsessing about food like before. It's really more about ...

I've averaged just under 2 S days per week so far, but I plan to start doing exactly 2 S days per week starting this week, since I am approaching where I want to end up. I'm thinking Monday and Friday, but I may keep it floating. We'll see. The main objective is to stay on board. All I have to do is...

Hi Oolala53, Thanks. To answer your query, I started at 138 lbs, and am now down to 132 lbs. I'm 5'5.5" and 51 y.o. I don't really know what my ideal weight is, but figure I am fast approaching it. My previous ideas of what I should weigh were just that...ideas that I tried to impose through various...

21 day results
Hi Everyone, I started back with No S Jan 1, for the fifth time probably. This time I decided to have mods...two of them. First, I would choose my own "s" days, and I would have a max of 2 "s" events per s day. My reasoning was that waiting until the weekend each week felt too restrictive and was ma...

So in all aspects of my life, I am going to stay more focused over the next year. No S is going very well so far. I am really enjoying the N da...

Hi Everyone, I am back again. I'm not sure how many failed attempts I've got under my belt. But I'm finally getting it: diets don't work unless what you're after is weight gain. The no snacking part is hardest for me. I tend to stray because of that, and because I'll get a bug that I want to lose fa...

Take 3
Hi Everyone, I think the third time will be the charm. I started No S a few months back and didn't make it past a few days. I had a couple red days and let my all-or-nothing attitude sabotage me. My second attempt lasted 6 weeks from mid-Oct to this past Dec 2. I had a wicked craving for snacks and ...
