Between computer problems and a demanding schedule, I've not been on the board, but I have been keeping up with No-S. I've only taken one weekday S-day thus far. Unfortunately, I feel a long way from my autumn goal of re-establishing a healthy relationship with food, and I've found a "need" to furth...

Diligence's Autumn 2017 Check-In
I like Allisonmeg's idea of seasonal check-ins. I am resuming a periodic check-in, and my goal for this season will be to re-establish a healthy relationship with food--more specifically, to follow the No-S rules without fear. Even more specifically, as someone who has, in the past, often eaten just...

Hi Larkspur, I am freshly back after too long of a break from No-S and the forum. After No-S-ing for a good while, I did cut carbs significantly (as well as certain other foods)--in large part to see whether it would help address some health issues. Prior to this modification, I had little success w...

16 months & down 23 lbs.
I started No S 16 months ago (Dec. 2013). If I remember correctly from when I was active on the forum, I felt like I wasn't getting anywhere fast with No S but didn't want to change it as a lifestyle. I had some medical bumps in the road.
