Re: Yellowtulips Check In
It is true the 'little slip ups' are not what make us fail (unless it is day after day after day). I have gotten back on the pony and doing OK. I've added a couple more S days for December as holiday parties schedules have been set--and all are luncheon events. I've also decided to focus on 3 meals ...

Hi Darcyrose, I started NoSing a little over a year ago (March 2016) and then wedding in June made me immediately try more 'aggressive diet' techniques. End result: lost maybe a couple of pounds by June, but would have done so much more comfortably just NoSing :lol: Then a few months of essentially ...

Hi Merry (and everyone else), July has been going better than June food-wise. I started off well with exercise, but the last week it has fallen by the wayside because of crazy work hours. The scale is finally starting to shift downwards ever so slowly--I've been a litte more moderate with S-days. I ...

I find that although there is no such thing as a 'failed' S day, I do need to pay attention if I hope to see the scale move! I read an interesting book last week, Never Binge Again, which defines a binge as anything NOT on your food plan. I suppose folks could get real technical with it, but I was r...

On this 3rd restart, I can DEFINITELY say that all other options are off the table. Resetting, I hope, will only be res...

Joined June Challenge
Since I've committed to using habit cal for June, I joined the June challenge.

So editing that post to update my challenge calendar will be daily check in of sorts.

I got lured by the diet-talk around New Year's on my second start of NoS in November 2016 :cry: I have recently returned to NoS (about 3 weeks ago), renewed my resolve, and am grateful that I managed to have a 'break even' from the quicker loss and just as quick regain. I feel so much better eating ...
