Yesterday was a success! Stuck to my 3 meals and it seems that reducing carbs really makes it easier to feel full from meal to meal.
This morning I went to weighlifting too, so I'm feeling pretty giddy about being back on track!

Thank you Sonya - I definitely agree about the binging that can result from the carb-y stuff. Yesterday (1st day back) was success . I was pretty hungry by dinner time but had the BEST dinner and it kept me full the rest of the evening. So far so good today, too. I'm going to have the same dinner to...

Oh my, did I have an awful couple of weeks - I'm finally feeling more like myself. I totally let the stress derail me. I'm getting back on track but I realize that I really do better with low(er) carbs. Every time I've ever lost weight it's been with low carb of some sort and the science makes sense...

That happened to me some when nursing. I ditto the protein suggestion - to me a snack of something like string cheese or some greek yogurt or cottage cheese isn't like a big handful of crackers or something. Maybe you could build a mini-4th meal around nursing time or somehow work your meal times cl...

Yesterday turned into a wicked red day! :oops: I'm on track for green so far today even though I'm still dealing with a stressful situation. I've taken steps to resolve it though. However, the stress gave me insomnia which means I was too tired for weightlifting. I missed it all last week due to a v...

Happy Monday! This is going to be a great 5 N days! I am seeing them become more and more appealing after a relaxed weekend. I see how I gained weight by eating like this 7 days a week - an extra roll here and handful of crackers there add up over the days and weeks. I still have some stressful thin...

Yesterday was a auccess despite having a pretty bad day and being exhausted which usually leads to mindless carb munching. I didn't even walk past the candy drawer at work so YAY!

Hmm.. breakfast is always eggs, with either bacon or some sourdough bread. Or both. :D Lunch is typically a sandwich, leftovers from dinner or a salad if I'm feeling it. I don't think salads fill me up enough unless I really load them with some protein. Dinner varies - I almost always eat at home so...

Yesterday was green . Scale hasn't really moved much. I'm not gaining anymore but I'm not really losing yet. I do think that I have some water weight that is hanging around. I think I'm eating bread at nearly every meal though. :oops: Nothing wrong with bread, but I think I'm making up for lost time...

I worked out hard Wednesday and yesterday and was insanely hungry which probably contributed to the munchies at night. I think I need to ...

Yesterday was red . :( I particpated in the ice cream social at work - part of me leans toward thinking it's part of normal eating to particpate in treats like that. And part of me says, when you spent years making *everything* a treat it's time for some change. Anyways, so I did that and then for s...

Wednesday was success . I'm having a hard time determining if I've lost any weight becasue the weather is SO humid and I seem to be retaining several pounds of water. I hate that feeling. My rings are tight and my skin feels uncomfortable. I'm hoping this cold front helps with that. Today they are h...

Hi! I found this site last night and it makes so much sense to me! I've tried calorie counting, paleo/primal and a few other methods over the last 5 or so years. I'll succeed for some period of time and then real life gets in the way or I start overthinking. The simplicity of No S really appeals to ...
