What is FBG: 100mg/dL? Is it blood glucose?

This virus and the closures are unreal. It feels like we're living in a movie or something. I needed to go to the store today and I felt bad because I know how important social distancing is right now.

Sammybunny711

I went a little overboard on the Ses yesterday and Saturday. I'm actually glad to be returning to the normalcy of N days today. Hoping I didn't undo all my good work last week. Not sure when I'll weigh again.

Sammybunny711

Hang in there! That does sound very stressful, but I hope it all works out!

Sammybunny711

Mmm. Dark chocolate.

Sammybunny711

Your food journal is always chock full of healthy stuff! I'm so impressed!

Sammybunny711

Ahh good to know! I have been experimenting with daily weighing using Happy Scale app on my iPad, and I like the trend line thing that it does. I may continue with the daily writing. It's taking a lot of that emotion out. My fear is, if I were to gain weight steadily throughout a week rather lose, I...

Sammybunny711

Doing this on mobile so I am not going to bother with the underlining and stuff. It's my first S day after a week of green! I'm almost 3 lbs down and feeling great for working hard on this habit. I am considering only weighing once a month. How often do you guys weigh? The plumbing disaster is still...

Sammybunny711

You are a steppin' machine!!! You go you!

Sammybunny711

You're got a plan, Auto! That's awesome.

Sammybunny711

Sticky, are you a vegan? All your food looks yummy!

Sammybunny711

Yiiiiikes. That is a crazy long time. Hopefully all of the closures across the nation will help slow the spread of the virus, though. Good luck to you!

Sammybunny711

I know this thread is 100 years old, but I have to second someone who said Walk at Home workouts by Leslie Sansone. I ADORE those workouts. They are so fun and a great way to get in a lot of steps.

Green Today, we got bad news on our leak issue that's been happening. It's under our house in a location that had previously been worked on last fall. So yay. Had to move all the stuff out of our walk-in master closet, along with furniture in preparation for taking the floor up tomorrow. Joy of joy...

Sammybunny711

Way to go!!

You've got this!

Looks like you’re doing great. Love your enthusiasm! Sure hope the plumbing issue gets fixed in a timely manner.

Thanks!! Thankfully a leak specialist is coming to look at it this morning.

Sammybunny711

Daaaaang 19k steps is fantastic!! Good on you!

Sammybunny711

I am so happy to have joined the YMCA in my town. I just activated my ActivTrax account (included in my membership) that creates a strength training workout for me 3 days a week. It is designed to grow with me, so weight/resistance will go up as I complete more and more workouts. I loved the trainer...

Sammybunny711

OMG I have logged so many hours in Skyrim over the years. He should totally do it!!! I adore playing MMORPGs like Final Fantasy 14. It's so much fun.

Sammybunny711

I'm sorry you're feeling under the weather! I hope you feel better soon!!

Sammybunny711

Be kind to yourself today. Practice good self care. Get some rest!! And stay safe! This virus is no joke.

Sammybunny711

I want to encourage you find some self-care activities during this stressful time. I know you are determined to avoid using food for comfort right now, but you DO need comfort. A pedicure, a massage, a movie, a new book, a new outfit, etc. something to meet the dopamine-seeking need that we all exp...

Sammybunny711

We have had a major house disaster happen with our plumbing. I am extremely stressed, but I REFUSE to let that stress overwhelm me and incite me to abandon No S. I have GOT this. I'm feeling strong despite what's happened. All will be well in the end. Today's Check In Vitals: Weight: 188.8 lbs (63.8...

Sammybunny711

Good on you for taking a walk instead of giving into the binge. That's a great strategy!

Sammybunny711

You can do it, Justine! I believe in you!! I am overcoming a bingeing habit as well. I know we will be victorious. <3

Sammybunny711

Nice job! That tea with half n half sounds lovely.

Sammybunny711

This is incredible, Auto! What a massive achievement. Also...SIX YEARS No Sing? That is incredible, too! You are an inspiration.

Sammybunny711

Looking forward to going to my local YMCA today for a cardio drumming class. That will be a lot of fun, I hope. My plan is to try to go to the Y at least 3 days a week for group fitness classes. I also enjoy walking, though, and don't want to lose that (could do both, I suppose). [EDIT] OMG. We had ...

Sammybunny711

As mentioned in my Daily Check In recently, I developed a binge eating habit last year that quickly piled on 50 pounds from March 2019 - August 2019. NOT good. It sort of developed out of a perfect storm situation. I have bipolar disorder (rapid cycling at that) and I was in the middle of back to ba...

Sammybunny711

Welp. After my sweeping "I'm back!" post in July of last year, I immediately got off track with bingeing and other diets. (DAMN YOU, WW!!!) I'm finally fed up. I need sanity surrounding my eating. I need better eating habits. I would love to lose weight, but the most important thing now is that I re...

Sammybunny711

Hmmm this sounds interesting. I may have to start putting some cocoa powder in my coffee. *thinking face*

Sammybunny711

Today has gone really well so far. I still have dinner to eat, but so far 2 square meals with no snacking or sweets-ing. Dinner will be a social thing, so I know I'll be fine with that. Though, it is at a TexMex place and I'm afraid of those chips and salsa. I may save the salsa for my meal and not ...

Sammybunny711

Hoo boy, adf sounds really hard. I'm not sure I could ever do it. I would be afraid of bingeing on the alternate days. :S But if you guys choose to do it, I hope it is helpful for you!

Sammybunny711

Too much social engagement can be exhausting. I have been on a quest lately to simplify my commitments and my life and No S is definitely helping with that, as I was doing WW (unsuccessfully) for months with no weight loss and all the social pressures. I applaud you and your volunteering efforts, bu...

Sammybunny711

Good luck to you and Tobias!! You can do this! We're all here cheering you on!

Sammybunny711

You're doing great!!

Sammybunny711

I really like the format of your update. I may do something similar. You're an inspiration!

Sammybunny711

This is so scary.

Sammybunny711

Thank you for these tips and reminders!!

Sammybunny711

Maintenance honestly terrifies me but I have quite a ways to go before I get there. I'd like to lose 55-65 pounds, but this is a very good point to think about. It will take less food to sustain a smaller body. Food for thought.

Sammybunny711

Hugs, Sammy. I have recently learned a lot more about the havoc that mental health medications can wreak on our metabolisms. That must be so frustrating for you. Welcome back, and here's to a great week. I just use my forum diary here to keep myself accountable. Thank you for the kind encouragement...

Sammybunny711

Hi, all. Welp. Last year, from March 2019 - August 2019, I gained 50 pounds. During that time, I had developed a nasty binge eating habit that has backfired in a HUGE way. I have been maintaining more or less since then, but am serious about trying to lose weight now in such a way that I can be sane...

Sammybunny711

Totally failed at my projected N day. In a major depressive episode at the moment (I have bipolar II disorder) and just ate to fill the void. Tomorrow will be better. Did manage 2 short walks today, though. That's a win.

Sammybunny711

Thanks, y'all!

Sammybunny711

Thanks so much!

Sammybunny711

I've tried to do No S unsuccessfully over the last 9 years because I keep getting distracted by yo-yo dieting and binge eating. I am now at my highest weight and desperate to make better habits for myself. I am back to stay and I can't wait to get this weight off in a sustainable, sane fashion.

Sammybunny711

WOW...I have no idea what happened to my thread. All my original posts say *deleted by original poster* and I'm not sure what happened. Anyhoo. I'm back and determined to stick with No S this time around. I have enjoyed reading through all of the bulletin board posts and feel motivated and charged u...

Sammybunny711

I have read the kindle version multiple times, but I adore the book so much, I literally just bought a copy today to have with me for quick reference. Such a great book!

Sammybunny711

I need to start drinking decaf green tea between meals to help curb the hunger...

Sammybunny711

I have been doing No S off and on for years, but have never stuck with it for a full 21 day trial and beyond. This time, I'm coming back for good. I'm tired of yo-yo-dieting on the latest and greatest. I'm tired of feeling like an alien in my own body. I want to conquer my binge eating and gain self...

Sammybunny711

Congratulations! That is a tremendous achievement.

Sammybunny711

I'm still here folks. Took a big step today. Yes, it has taken me this long to muster up the courage to do it. I cancelled my WW subscription!! Whew! BIG step! :D That IS a big step! Congratulations! I just did the same thing (cancelled WW) last week and have committed to doing No S. We're here to ...

Sammybunny711

All of your stories are so inspiring! I did No S for a brief period of time back in the day and just got tantalized by all the other diets out there. I also modified the HECK out of No S to "fit my lifestyle". Well this time? NO MODS. I'm going to stick to vanilla No S starting today. I have always ...

Sammybunny711

Ahh, glad to see another restart! That's awesome you did it for five years! Way to go!!! I hope I'll be able to do this the rest of my life. I'm curious if my body will find a natural weight for itself doing this over time.

Sammybunny711

I did No S WAY back in the day, but never really stuck with it. SO this time, my plan is to commit hardcore. Vanilla. No modifications. Just plain, old fashioned No S. I've got about 22 pounds to lose and I want to do it with a healthy mindset. What's the longest you've done No S? I'd love to hear a...

Had a great GREEN and yellow week! I took my S day on Friday night and Saturday night--Sunday is an N day. This works better into my schedule. Not quiet Vanilla No S, but it's a mod that still fits into the 2 S days per week, so works for the hubby and I. I have also been trying to move everyday. I ...

Sammybunny711

ahhh! I SO want to try this with a cast iron skillet! I own one, but not a sledge hammer. (Budget it limited right now.) I assume we can use the same routines as the shovelglove, but replace it with the skillet?

Sammybunny711

I have been HORRIBLE this summer. Going back to Vanilla No S. NOW.

Sammybunny711

I decided that since my exercise habits change so much from week to week (and that's alright), I just removed my exercise habitcal. It is more important to me (given that I am very active already) that I keep my eating under control. I get lots of exercise in each week since I am training for a blac...

Sammybunny711

So, I got a red block yesterday. :-( I got green on MFP and No S, but I honestly forgot to exercise yesterday. I remembered it sometime after dinner, but I was involved in something and told myself I'd do it before bed. Bedtime came and I fell asleep, LOL. Oh well. One red is not the end of the worl...

Sammybunny711

So, it was vacation. We spent all day for four days at Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and Disney World, and walked our LEGS off---so much so that our feet were throbbing at the end of every night. I don't feel one bit bad about my S vacation. It was terrific and I would honestly be shocked...

Sammybunny711

WOOHOO! I am leaving for vacation in mere hours! WOOHOO! So. Here is my plan: Wednesday: No S, MFP: GREEN // Exercise: YELLOW Thursday: No S, MFP: GREEN // Exercise: YELLOW Friday: No S, MFP, Exercise: GREEN Saturday: No S, MFP: YELLOW // Exercise: GREEN Sunday: No S, MFP: YELLOW // Exercise: GREEN ...

Sammybunny711

I made it through 21 days ALL in the green and yellow! NO REDS FOR APRIL!!! I did not log the first week of April, but I logged the rest of the month and had amazing success. I suppose I have probably lost weight, but I am only going by clothing (I don't own a scale.) I am so proud of myself. I have...

Sammybunny711

Checking in--- Yesterday, I woke up in tears. I slept horribly Wednesday night and when I got to school, my principal told me just to go home and sleep. I did. For several hours. It. Was. Awesome. I woke up feeling So much better! Today, I woke up feeling 98% well. It's a good thing, too, because my...

Sammybunny711

Once I start working from home (in just 30 days!!) I'll probably start it for reals. I have a hard time remembering to keep my pedometer on right now. It looks like super nerd-fun!

Sammybunny711

"Again, my total focus is on habit and not on the number. " I could not agree more! I have actually not weighed in about two weeks. I don't own a scale and have to weigh in at my martial arts schools, but my master took his scale home to weigh some bags for the airport--so the scale hasn't even been...

Sammybunny711

ARG. Being sick is the worst. I am finally starting to feel better, but I am just so darn exhausted. I went to hapkido last night and skipped taekwondo (to help conserve energy.) I'm going to hapkido again tonight and tomorrow (might add on taekwondo tomorrow, depending on how I feel.) My red-belt t...

Sammybunny711

Yep. Still sick. I came to work anyway, because I am missing three days soon to go on an anniversary getaway. I will not be training in hapkido tonight, because I still feel reallly, really crummy. I'll go tomorrow, Wednesday, and Thursday. My test is on Friday night. :-( Scared. However, I know if ...

Sammybunny711

Yeah, I have come down with something nasty (illness-wise.) I did not exercise Friday, because I was feeling so sick. My food//MFP stayed in green on Friday, but I went ahead and put down my exercise as a yellow- S day since I cannot fault myself for missing exercise when I'm running a fever and fee...

Sammybunny711

So, we are 6 hours into the day (half of what I have to stay at school for today...ick) and my stomach is doing much better. I have only eaten an activia yogurt and some goldfish and pretzels (my meager under 400 cal. lunch). For dinner, if my stomach is still doing better, I'll go get a sub sandwic...

Sammybunny711

Feeling sick today. This will definitely be an N day (if I eat at all.) There is a wicked stomach bug traveling around the elementary school where I work and I think I've caught it. :-( I brought some crackers for lunch today and my customary activia yogurt for breakfast...we'll see if I eat it. I d...

Sammybunny711

I have been in the greens and yellows for 12 days! WOOHOO! This includes No S, MFP (food journaling), and Exercise! I know it's not much, but it makes me feel so proud of myself. I haven't binged in 12 days! WOOHOO! I might try and weigh tonight to see if there's been any number progress, but it's a...

Sammybunny711

I've been trying to walk more and more and more. I love it, it's great for you, and it is very enjoyable. Today, while my fourth graders were playing out at recess, I walked the entire time while reading a Terry Pratchett book. Super amazing way to read. I was trying to do crazy workout dvd's and su...

Sammybunny711

I've almost completed two whole weeks of No S, MFP, Exercise habits! WOOHOO! I feel so accomplished and proud of myself. Again, no idea if I've lost weight or not (I don't own a scale), but I'm sure that even if it takes a while to kick in, developing the habits are most of the battle.

Sammybunny711

http://home.insightbb.com/~eowynchallenge/ So, this site is pretty epic. Essentially, it was started by a bunch of people who wanted to walk "to Rivendell" and beyond. You log your mileage and it has detailed charts of where your mileage takes you along the path from Bag End to Rivendell and from R...

Sammybunny711

WOW. I cannot believe I did it. Honestly, I have been super stressed out lately and my food choices definitely reflected that. My husband and I sat down and had a strategy session for me and decided that combining No S with MFP calorie counting//food journaling was the way to go. Results? I had ALL ...

Sammybunny711

WOW! What a success story! You are an inspiration to us all! Congratulations!

Sammybunny711

I'm so excited! Since combining No S with MFP (calorie counting//food journal) I have been doing super well. I have been in the green ALL week so far with No S, MFP, and Exercise (I do two types of martial arts, at home workout DVDs, and walking). I am on a great path. Haven't lost any weight yet, b...

Sammybunny711

So...I am still at 145 lbs. :-( It's been a long year. I'm glad that I have not gained, really, but I would still like to get down between 120 and 130. I now do both Hapkido and Taekwondo, as well as other workouts during the week. I am mixing No S with MFP (calorie counting) and I think I will be o...

Sammybunny711

So...the holidays sort of threw a monkey-wrench into my No S plans. Like badly. I'm still not quite back on the wagon. I am literally 1 tenth of a point from being in the overweight BMI category. :-( Sure, some part of me is like...well, at least you're still in the normal range, but it is honestly ...

Sammybunny711

So...I have been trying to stay faithful to No S for the past couple of months and even when I don't slip up, I do not seem to lose weight. I don't gain weight, but I don't seem to lose weight. Of course, I fall into one of those short/non-overweight/female categories. I am 5'3" and weight between 1...

Sammybunny711

I was doing SO well for the first week and a half and then...major sinus infection hit and though I did not really do any Sick S days, I did not exercise while I was sick. As well, my TOM began on Monday of this week which meant...major sugar cravings ensued. Do any of you have that problem when "la...

Sammybunny711

*raises hand*

I started on August 16th (well, restarted...I forayed into calorie counting for a while and realized how No S is really where it's at!)

Only 1 red so far! Hoping I continue with just the greens and yellows! Glad to be with you guys!

I have gone biking the last two days (even though they were S days). I really really love biking and I also do martial arts, so I am a pretty active person. Hopefully this will give me a little lee-way while I get my S-days down to a steady rhythm of NOT going nuts.

Hi all! I have been a No S'er for about a year now--off and on. I tried it for a while but "diet-head" could not quite disappear during that time. Because I am always researching health topics, I was led astray many times. Finally in April of this year, I found My Fitness Pal.com and thought calorie...
