Everyday Systems

good article, I have two toddlers right now and it is true that there is this pressure that you need to be giving them food all the time

Wow, this must be dissapointing. Good for you though for your stick to it attitude. I understand about hating mods, but maybe just think about some different ones. I believe in portion control. Even as a runner, I have to watch my portions if at my age 36 I'm going to be trim. I hate it, but it is a...

I weigh myself once a week. It is from my weight watcher days. If I am on my period or about to start, I wait another week.

Right now I am running a lot so I am eating a little more. However, at around 129ish I do keep portions minimized and I usually just eat a bowl of fruit for breakfast.

This is a great diet Darrell I believe for your situation. You can still enjoy food and eating but it gives you parameters. I am not a big fan of surgery because the few that I personally know that have had it, are gaining it back. I think that there is so much more with our relationship to food tha...

I'm glad that you are getting the basics down, but maybe it is time for a modification. Drinking lots of milk and juices as you know has lots of calories. Maybe limiting those, plus using portion control. Or perhaps just giving yourself one s day as I do, that really helps.

Birthday parties, lots of changes right now, but I'm getting back in my groove today. Vanilla for the rest of October. I know I can do it!

I was like you in thinking that this diet would be easy, I don't snack and eat emotionally etc. Well, boy was I wrong. Cutting out night eating is so hard, I realize I'm not hungry, it is just a destressing I think. I also realize I eat more than I thought I did. Hope this diet works for you.

Thanks for the great post, Good perspective

The last 10lbs for me after having a baby is the hardest, but I'm doing it with no s instead of WW, because I'm tired of points etc. It is happening slowly for me but I'm at 128 and wanting to get to 123 is if possible. I think you will be surprised by what happens when you don't eat snacks and when...

Welcome, I'm also an ex WW. I did it for years and was able to get my body back after my babies, but now, like you I'm tired of the points and tracking everything. I love the no s diet approach. For me though to be around 125 which is my ww weight, I do have to do some mods like keeping my portions ...

I ran five miles so I can have an extra plate, snack or etc. I'm being naughty and need to get back on track. I know the no s diet are habits that I need to not fall into the weight problems that so much of my family has fallen into. I need structure and so I 'm here to start yet again with my goal ...

I'm right there with you. I keep going back because the truth is that I need parameters with my eating and I just can't to the calorie counting and so on. I did this diet so well at one time and find myself going off then going on. I hate that, but I am not giving up, so you should not either. You c...

I enjoyed your post. I also don't have a lot to of weight that I need to take off, but I'm tired of points, calories and to much restriction.

okay I guess this is day 7, my first week. Today was hard. I started snacking at about 3:30is so I filled up and made it a meal. Tea with Cream this evening and I am okay.

We have been out and about so missed a few check ins lets see day 4 and 5 good. Day 6, ouch a couple of bites here and there. I was very stressed, but I STOPPED myself and so it has been successful, just not vanilla. I was out of my regular breakfast. So I really did not start out on the right foot ...

what an emotional eater I am. Shame on Me! I never thought I was one of those people. Today was an off day, I was angry about a situation, stressed with my three little ones and I really just cought myself wanting to snack it all away. A confession, I have had lots of extra bites today, but I stoppe...

good article

Thanks so much Vicki, this did help me. Seems like there is a saints day just about everyday and food is plentiful. The other day after downing a bowl of this corn soup I was firm about wanting no more. Well they filled the whole bowl up again and gave it to me. I hated to be rude, but I just didn't...

Day 3 down. Note to self, I do better when I stick to my routine breakfast of fresh fruits. It gets me started in the right direction

Well Urban Ranger, I can't say specifically for safety reasons. The cartels have moved close to where we are. They are an indiginious group, so they are more sensitive about their food. Honestly though most of them are good friends and I know their feelings would probably not change about me. They a...

yay, day 2

Day one okay did it and by checking in I hope this keeps me from evening eating.

Evening eating, its my downfall. The kids are sleeping and hubby and I are watching lost, or office and it is so nice to eat someting bad. This is the worst time for me, so I will be keeping myself accountable with daily check in.

My husband and I are missionaries and lots of our time is visiting families in their home. This usually means having to eat or drink at least something with every visit. I tried to start this diet Tues. but Wednesday we ate with a family at 4, so I was like okay, this is dinner and no more food. We ...

Hey Kathleen in the past when I was first really learning about no s I did try to do it with intuitive eating. I love love love the idea of intuitive eating, but for me personally it did not work. I found I just ate more during the day and spent so much time trying to figure out how hungry was I? am...

Thanks you all for you help and input. I look forward to this journey.

mean an occasional second or snack or sweet instead of all of those. Two day of reckless abandon could not be good. I exercise hard and could never do that.

Hey Shannon, you keep a low trim weight with this diet. How do you modify it for you??? I am a runner but hitting my mid 30's I really have to make dietary changes as well to be trim.

I'm a runner and I still have to watch portions. In my early 20's maybe not so much but now in my mid 30's yes.

On weight watchers I've always been able to get to about 124lbs or so after my babies which is so good to me. I'm though tired of points and am wondering if this diet has worked for anyone who really wants to be trim trim

I have been doing a healthy vegan diet but find that still even though I am eating healthy, I am eating to much. I need the guidelines of no s. Here it goes wanting to get off that last 10lbs.
