Success for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday! I have looked ahead and filled in S days for the rest of the month on my Habit cal with just Friday 30th as a NWS day because we are going away that day for a few nights for the new year. Christmas Eve and Christmas day are at the weekend anyway ...

Success for Monday

Saturday was not too bad but Sunday was another mad S day fuelled by a hangover.

Success for Thursday. Back at my lowest weight so far (11st 11.5lb) with a day to go before the weekend. Hoping for a new low tomorrow but I am now off work for just over a week so things do get trickier. All I can do is stick to the rules..... We have a Saturday night Christmas party this week but...

Yes I know what you mean about looking forward to the structure of N days. It is simpler to just know that I can't snack than the decide if something is worth an S every time.

Success for today :)

Success today. I have relaxed about S days and am not putting any restrictions on them but wonder if I should go back to no sugar or 5 's events'. If I relax enough perhaps I will calm down on the madness naturally. I did have quite a bit of a large chocolate bar on Sunday but on the bright side th...

Make sure you have plenty of protein and a bit of fat with all your meals (as well as a bit of carbs and lots of veg). I find eggs and cheese particularly filling. You will get used to it and feel hungry less often but also I have become less 'afraid' of hunger and it makes the food taste better!

Success for Tuesday. Wednesday good so far. I am fast approaching the 2 month mark which is as far as I have got before. It doesn't feel like it is about to go wrong so I will just keep going and ignore the milestone as best I can - despite posting about it now :oops:

Well done on the baking - I find that really hard. How did Thanksgiving go? Sounds like you had a great plan which is half the battle. Will try and do similar for Christmas. It is hard when there is "peer pressure" for snacking even if you don't particularly want the food, if it is part of the celeb...

Success for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Still weighing 11 something and a new low this morning of 11st 12.5lb. Nearly 11lb down. I am considering doing a testimonial for 10 lb lost in just under 2 months but feel a bit of a fraud because I weigh more than when I started just over a year ago. Al...

Thanks Merry - you are so right. It is easy to be put off I did go back on to it for the rest of the week which I am very pleased about as I was away at a conference and the were giving away chocolate. Two years ago I broke my quitting sugar plan at the same conference so quite proud of my progress....

Thank you Merry. Sunday afternoon was not as good but ok for an S day. This morning I weighed the same as last Monday (12st 3lb) and was a bit peeved. Cracked at children's tea time for some pizza crust and have had a few scnacks since.

Failure for today but back on it tomorrow
