i think your idea to save them for the weekend is the best idea.
i wouldn't do any mods because the more you modify the basic structure of NoS, the harder you are making it to form those new habits of not having treats during the week.

thank you so much NoSRocks and oolala! :) actually, i am also really being very careful about how much and what i have been eating.. that's just as much a factor in this.. i am doing NoS, in terms of keeping sweets for the weekend only, and not snacking, and definitely not seconding.. but i am also ...

just a quick update to bump my thread up. things are going very well! i'm still averaging about 5-6 days a week of dancing, for usually about an hour each time with a 20 min cool down and stretch. this has helped me incredibly with keeping on track with NoS. since april 20 i'm down 8 lbs and 2 inche...

I know you're right, Jean, but 1 pound a week sounds soooo slow. Guess I'm being impatient. hi carpe diem.. i just wanted to add to this thread.. it may seem slow, but hey, a pound a week still equals 52 pounds a year, and that's not too shabby.. if you're concerned about slow or fast, i think that...

i'm taking today as an s day for exercise because i have a virus and low fever.. i'm still going to try and stick to regular NoS for diet though.
i already had some treats over the weekend and don't feel the need for more. but i'm too exhausted to dance etc..
hope this goes away very soon.

ps... sorry but i have to add... quick loss is a nice perk, but it shouldn't be your main focus.. long term loss and maintenance should be what you are focusing your sights on.. you don't want to "get there" fast and then a few months later gain it back when you get tired of counting points..
