Grace,

I don't drink wine but I think you should put this question on the general discussions list, with a subject line like "wine a problem" or something like that. You might get more responses than just from posting in your daily check in.

Good luck.

Thursday: success Really difficult to go to water aerobics last night. Was very hungry and sleepy. Went anyway! Brotherjohn recommended the following for visually tracking weight loss: http://www.weightcommander.com/ I entered my weigh-ins since 1/28/09 and I think it's going to be a great motivator.

Same with me. I'll think that I'd love some spicy peanuts and will save them for a meal and then change my mind and go for zucchini instead! How weird it that! Also, at the grocery store I saw they had red hot chips on sale, which I love, especially with lime juice (i've been known to eat the whole ...

Well they do have a delivery option but I live near one of the distribution sites. They also have low-calorie (low-fat) but I didn't enjoy it. The low-carb has vegetables at every meal (including breakfast).

You can check their website.

Hey Daisy!

Nice going! Maybe try not to weigh yourself for a while and focus on the habit. I must admit, though I only weigh once a week, I still need to focus on the habit more!

Not really. I did some low-carbing in February and actually kept that fast weight loss off with no-essing, which sold me on the no-essing! Thinking about my motivation...I've lost 24 pounds since the end of January and no one's noticed. Could that possibly be it? The thing is that in the past, when ...

Monday: FAILURE Ordered a cheese pizza, planned to have two slices, fruit and carrots. Had almost five slices, fruit, carrots, AND a klondike bar. I will not crash the car, I will not crash the car, I will not crash the car!! I think it's because I'm doing a few weeks of low-carb starting tomorrow s...

Friday: success
Saturday: S day but no sweets, seconds, or snacks. Even missed breakfast!
Sunday: S day that did not zoom out of control.

Thursday: don't know about today. Had dinner before water aerobics (done by 6) and, though it was one plate--a large one--I ate a lot of chicken skin plus fried yucca. So it feels like I cheated, I have some kind of negative feeling, not guilt exactly, but let down. Now I have to make sure I make it...

I found Reinhard's podcast, S-days gone wild, to be very helpful. Give it a shot.

Hi Tiffani, I've been doing no-S since Jan 28. At the time, I was low-carbing (vegs and protein at all meals) and kept doing that for a while, with no snacks except on weekends (macadamia nuts or other low-carb fare). Then I took a break from low-carbing to see if no-S would enable me to maintain my...

Reinhard, I did listen to the podcast and also saved the transcript, just in case. It was very helpful. I'm kind of tickled pink that you posted on my topic! I've also noticed that the more my N days go well, the less I feel like overdoing it on the weekend. Thanks so much for this life-changing pro...

Wed, 4/15: success Read Arjuna's "Learning the art of moderation" check-in. He said: "I think the proper measure of a successful habit is when you don't actually want to go over board any more." I think this really makes sense. Not that I didn't go overboard, say on the sweetened nuts at my mother's...

Tuesday: success Am a little nervous about this but I decided to go back on diet-to-go low-carb starting next Tuesday, combining it with no-s by not having snacks, except on s days. The meal size is controlled by the company. I've maintained my previous round of diet-to-go with no-s for over a month...

Monday: success

Back from Mexico, lost two pounds from much more movement than I get at the office and very odd meals.

I guess the habits weren't as ingrained as I'd hoped. At least I'm getting more exercise than I get at home. I think I'm eating less than I usually do when I'm here. Our meals and mealtimes are mostly out of whack. I hope to get back into my routine when I get home, starting on Monday. Actually, not...

Saturday: traveling to Mexico. Overdone S day as usual. need to watch it today (Sunday) because tomorrow is my mother's memorial and it is going to be an s day for sure.

Friday: success, though i had three slices of pizza, I ordered a medium instead of large. had pea pods too. It was a kind of big virtual plate.

Thursday: success

Though I went back to the kitchen to get the last three pieces of roasted potato, they would have fit on my initial plate so I'm counting it as a success. I chewed so much sugarless gum yesterday, I got gas!

I posted about this on the general list and someone suggested listening to the podcast on the subject of S days. It was awesome. I recommend it. Monday: success though wasn't feeling well. Lunch provided at work. Ate one plate but it had half a sandwich and half a rollup and I wondered if that was e...

Funny, I did try to search the general discussion forum for this topic but was unable to figure out how.

Where do you find the podcasts?

And thanks for your words of encouragement.

The last couple of weekends, I've really overdone it on S days. I wonder if this is a new no-S dieter thing and whether the excess will abate in time. Otherwise, I think I undo what I did well during the week on the weekend...

Saturday and Sunday: had to work and lunch was provided. Went to friends for dinner Saturday night. I am neglecting the "sometimes" in the rules. I fear that I undo the good work of the week with S day excess. I wonder if that will calm down over time...

Have to work this weekend but they're feeding us lunch. Then going to friends for dinner. Happy it's an S day!

Hi NCSunshine,

You posted on my check-in about the guilt factor and how it doesn't apply to No-S. I hadn't thought about it from that angle before but it makes sense.

Thanks!

Tuesday: Failure BUT: despite not strictly adhering to the No-S diet on two fronts, sweet and snack, the one slice of cake was it, even though there were two kinds of cake and enough for seconds. I did well with dinner and throughout the evening. So success to some extent, since this is not my usual...

I've been following the no-S diet since January 28, 2009 (235 lbs), first based on the website and then through reading the book. For the first few weeks, I was moderate-carbing at the same time (protein and vegetables at every meal, nuts as snacks on S days), with a program called diet-to-go, which...

There's a yahoo group?

guadopt1997

I read this on one of the bulletins and thought it might help you today: "If I back into a pole, I'm not gonna say,'Oh well, the car is wrecked' and drive into a brick wall!" This is where I've always had problems in diets. The idea that "oh well, I'm already in the red so I may as well go whole hog."
