Joining now! My goal is just to finish the challenge by consistently checking in. I’m at a normal weight and mostly stick to 3 meals, but have a fear of putting everything on one plate. I also struggle to find food freedom and avoid reading about the next plan that’s going to cure all my ills! L...

I’m in! Nov 2 will be my start day. I’m currently at a great weight doing a non strict no s, but I wanted to tighten up the reigns as the holidays approach. My husband will be out of town much of the month and sometimes that triggers nighttime eating! I’ve somehow pick up a slight addiction to...

I'm glad I still receive thiese updates. It reminds me consistent no s will keep me sane. I'll be back up on the daily check in's for June. Yesterday was a big permasnack... when sick kids, husband out of town and exhaustion hit, I still can have the consistency of no S. :)

Planning on a great April. I'm going to do daily weighing and check-ins. Even if I'm not 100% at No S, I can be 100% accountable! My BMI is still in a healthy range, but the highest it's been since i had my second child. I'm noticing that my metabolism is definitely more sensitive to extra splurges....
