Thanks x2, osoniye, got em both.

Congratulations, manuelasmom! (and bittesehr!)

Welcome to the group, Oren, and thanks for sharing your story here. I'm always fascinated by how people stumble upon shovelglove... And how well the economics work out vs. other options. I like your trick of using socks instead of a sweater. Probably retains it's shape better, aesthetically, and is ...

Ffwl reports losing 20 pounds over 2 years on No-S (without sacrificing "supper!"):

Thank you! Got him.

Congratulations! Slow and steady successes like this make me very happy.

Nice also to see how well No-S can be adapted for "localization!"

Best,

Reinhard

OK, I think I got rid of the mixed content messages in habitcal, but there are a bunch lurking around in other corners of the everydaysystems site. I'll keep hunting them down but always feel free to let me know when you bump into this or anything else that looks peculiar.

Thank you, Greg, for the kind words!

I'll check out HabitBull.

Sorry about the mixed content messages -- japorito and crossthebreeze, I didn't notice them because chrome just silently suppresses those messages. Should be a quick fix...

Reinhard

Good to know! Thanks. While I was fixing the slowness issue I did a bit of rejiggering that I guess might have helped the emails withstand spam filters a little better.

Reinhard

I fixed the posting slowness (slowness had to do with emails -- posts that didn't trigger an email were fine, posts that did took a solid minute just to send the email).

Potential new problem: is anyone actually getting these emails?

Reinhard

I will create a new user and post to this and see if it is slow.

This is reliably quick.

I think it may have to do with whether mails are sent.

Very curious why some posts are slow and others are not...

STill slow?

Congratulations, xara! Funny how strictness makes it easier. We live near (dangerously near, I'd say if it weren't for No-S) a fantastic pie shop ourselves.

Now I am watching this topic. Will that make it slow?

What about a larger, longer chunk of text? Could it have anything to do with that? When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal stati...

or this?

HOw about this?

Will this message take a long time to post?

Habitcal issue should be fixed now -- let me know if you're still having trouble.

I haven't forgotten about the slow posting either. I'm still seeing a minute plus slowness sporadically (though the posts do successfully go through).

OK, habitcal should now be fixed (let me know if not!).

I'm still investigate the posting slowness... it's annoying to have to wait a minute+ for a post to through.

I see the issue and should have a fix shortly (side effect of another long overdue improvement, moving the everydaysystems site to secure https instead of http).

Thanks for letting me know and sorry for the inconvenience!

I'm seeing slowness to post still (which I'm investigating), but at least it doesn't error anymore.

Anyone still having trouble posting or experiencing any other weirdness?

Good to hear!

Though I'm seeing something similar now in the board sign up section (timeout error when you submit, even though the sign up works and the new account is created).

I'll keep at it...

Reinhard

OK, it's possible I fixed this. Please let me know if you see it again.

And again...

Testing one more time...

Reinhard

Testing again...

Ignore above -- I think I just saw what you're reporting and it's different.

Hmm. Now I know why I've been procrastinating on this server move for so long. :-) It sounds like this is different from the email related issue reported earlier. This sounds like maybe your browser is remembering the old server's IP address and pointing there (the old server still exists in a shado...

1. Congratulations! Sounds like you're off to an excellent start. 2. Sorry about that error message you saw earlier. I assume I'll see it when I post here as well... and hopefully be able to fix. Huh... actually that worked totally fine. Guess I'll have to poke around in the error log to figure out ...

Ugh. Thanks, I'll get on it.

Testing...

Yes, as long as *someone* has hit "notify me when a reply is posted" you'll see that error (but hopefully not for much longer).

Yes, that's exactly the issue I saw. Anytime someone has registered to be alerted by email about updates to a topic it'll happen. I will figure this out tonight or tomorrow.

Test reply to see email error...

It's faster (and cheaper), but email seems to be broken.

Let me know if you noticed anything else.

Reinhard

Thanks for the link xara, had a slight pang of fear that it would be something carvel related but that was really nice!

Congratulations!

Thank you!

We essed it up with a carvel ice cream cake -- very nostalgia inducing and man those artificial flavors taste good.

The only problem is now I can't get their circa 1980 jingle out of my head...

Reinhard

In what I hope is just the beginning of a powerful new trend, eyevandy searched for an over the top pro-snacking message and found no-s success instead (-20 pounds and counting since April):

http://everydaysystems.com/bb/viewtopic.php?p=163290

Wow, that's a great story (and tip -- just checked the search myself). seems almost providential. May no-s come up on thousand of similar stories! Congratulations on taking advantage of this "sign" and thank you for letting us know here! Looking forward to hearing more from you in the months and yea...

I haven't read Judy Beck's book, but I understand that it takes CBT informed approach, which I think might be very compatible with No-S.

Got him! Thank you, osoniye.

Vicki from Montenegro has now been on No-s for the biblical span of 7 years.

Please join me in congratulating (and learning from) her here:

http://everydaysystems.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=10627

Reinhard

Vicki, Congratulations again on your continued success, and thank you so much for continuing to keep us posted here! There is no more important kind of testimonial than these long term successes. Thanks also for not whitewashing away your difficulties -- they're just as important for aspiring long t...

Got em. Thank you, osoniye!

Hi Eric, Shovelglove definitely works your back and though I haven't ever a bad swing might work it the wrong way. I don't normally feel lower back soreness, though it's possible maybe a bit in the beginning over a decade ago when everything felt blessedly sore. I'd proceed very cautiously as long a...

Thanks, bjalda! Got it.

In a (reluctant) attempt to move shovelglove into the 21st century, I created a Facebook Page and Group. Not much to see there yet, but I'm hopeful they'll take off as the No S ones seem to be doing. The Page: https://www.facebook.com/shovelglove The Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/shovelglove/

Got it. Thanks, osoniye!

David, Thanks so much for this detailed, honest, optimistic update! And sorry it's taken me forever to weigh in here. First off, congratulations! Six years on habit is a huge achievement. I'm deeply impressed by how well you've put the weight uptick in perspective. Our bodies are moving targets as w...

Got him, thanks! (and sorry for the delay -- vacation).

Got him! Thank you!

Very nice!

Let us know how it goes.

Reinhard

Thanks, Sonya! They look pretty spammy to me. Removed them.

Yes... just blasted him.

Thank you!

Reinhard

"Habit is king." So says Manishavyas, a 38-year old mom with 2 kids, who is down over 20 pounds since starting No-S three months ago. More details on how she did it here:

http://everydaysystems.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=10555

Congratulations, Manishavyas!

I love the variety of cuisines No-s allows -- thanks for the details.

Reinhard

So glad people are still finding these helpful! Thanks so much for letting me know. Can't wait to find the time to start up again. Maybe when our youngest is out of diapers.

Thanks, guys! Deleted. Kind of a nasty sounding name, too.

Nice! I was a big marvel fan myself back in the day...

Welcome!

Your "Hellboy" sure is a beauty!

16 pounds is heavy, but it sounds like you know what you're doing (just ease in gently!).

Best of luck and keep us posted,

Reinhard

Username -- I like your mod / application of no S to drinking! Very sensible and elegant.

It's not going to help safety-wise if you full on whack your self in the head with it -- but it will help with the occasional shin-graze (or cat-graze), which is something you're far more likely to do. It also makes for a great conversation piece.

In 2008, "Blondie" posed for the cover of Woman's World magazine -- a very photogenic No-S success story. Now, seven years later, and with a one-year-old baby to boot, she's still on No-S, and still the same weight as when she did the photoshoot. Please join me in congratulating her -- and check out...

Thanks for stopping by! (and congratulations on the baby! we've had one in the interval as well).

So great to hear No S is still working well for you after 7 years (and a baby!).

Reinhard

What does 4 years on No-s look like? Chentegt in Guatemala provides some impressive photo documentation in his recent testimonial update.

http://everydaysystems.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=10496

chentegt, So glad to hear (and see!) from you again. As you know, nothing makes me happier than "more of the same" testimonials like this, because maintenance is much harder than rapid weight loss. I'm also happy to hear glass ceiling is working for you, and that you're giving shovelglove another go...

Welcome! This is pretty much the place to ask such questions. There's also a facebook group if you're into that.

No-S+: One of the big selling points of no-s is its unobtrusiveness -- as evidenced by the fact that you can do it alongside many other diet plans, such as Diligence reports doing very successfully with whole30:

Thanks for the warning! (and good to see you here again).

Glad shovelglove is still working for you.

Reinhard

Totally my fault, Sonya -- I should have looked more carefully before pulling the trigger. I really do appreciate these alerts and take total responsibility for this misfire.

Yikes. I just blasted Jayhawk28 but despite the suspicious topic on closer inspection he's totally real.

(Apologies Jayhawk! I'll do what I can to restore your account).

Reinhard

Got songwenjie -- Thanks, gingerpie!

Got him! Thank you!

Or more accurately, "healthy halo" is a special case of "licensing."

Another example of the "halo" effect. In Mindless Eating, Brian Wansink describes a curious phenomenon: When products are marketed as healthy, people eat more of them because they think, â€œHey, itâ€™s healthy.â€ Theyâ€™ll even go on to eat more of some obviously unhealthy food because they think, â...

Nice! Higher production values than my originals (music! annotations!).

I like the double-hammer action as well.

These "mods" sound very sensible, in fact they might not be technically mods at all, just "intelligent dietary defaults." I've been known to have a piece of fruit with/after dinner. I make sure to put it in front of me with the rest of my meal to get that visual sense of how much I'm eating that I f...

Congratulations, 1984man! And sorry it took me so longer to getting around here and saying so. Instead of accepting what No S actually is ("a shortcut to caloric restriction"), I treated it like magic and got discouraged when it didn't work. Well put! And I think now that you've firmly grasped this ...

I like the mods! I've made another slight tweak myself: instead of W for work and P for personal, I do first column L for life, second column W for work. Taps into that "work/life" balance meme better, and by putting life in the first column I'm a) making a statement that when all is said and done L...

Thanks again, Sonya! Blasted them.

Congratulations, wxwoman! And thanks for sharing your success here.

Interesting mod spacing the S-days apart like that.

Great to hear that you're continuing No-s even though you don't have anything more to lose.

Best,

Reinhard

Got em! Thank you, osoniye!

Got em! Thank you!

Thank you for this update! 2 years certainly is a good milestone! And the invisible milestone of "never having to think about it anymore" perhaps even better!

Reinhard

Thanks for this thoughtful checkin!

I'm sorry you've had such a difficult year -- but glad that no-s helped. Especially in stressful times, "maintenance is progress," and it's great that you recognize that.

Best of luck in 2015,

Reinhard

I am! It's not much of a walk (about 15 minutes), but then up 5 flights of stairs. Usually I walk my son to daycare first (an additional 15 minutes). These days I carry him because the streets are too snowy for the stroller, and we're terrified of risking our street parking spot in front of our hous...

Got it! Thanks Oolala.

Think I fixed it! Thanks for letting me know.

I missed a couple years posting these but had a pretty darn good excuse (sitting on my back).

Hi subhayu, Honestly, the most important aspect of shovelglove is the "temporal" one: stick with 14 minutes an N-day of anything. Hotel gym is fine. Body weight exercise is fine, and doesn't even require a gym. A lot of gyms these days have kettlebells, which make it easier to do things resembling "...

Got 'em. Thank you, oolala!

Got 'em, thanks!
