Re: Carolyn's Check In
Well done, also on getting your exercise in! Yes, I can imagine getting up at 4 am would mean you need an extra meal. I do a night shift once a month and I definitely need an extra small meal sometime during the night.

Re: Pinkhippies daily check in
Good luck with the sugar withdrawal...like you with sugar, I have come to a similar conclusion for myself with alcohol - it just doesn't do me any favors at all, so I decided to take a break until the end of the year. And you inspired me - I made potato soup last week and really enjoyed it! Glad you...

Re: Amy's Checking In Again
Thanks for stopping by, Ladybird, Oolala & Pinkhippie! Interesting to know that how the weeks before the holidays can have such an impact on how well we do during the holidays themselves...even more motivation to tighten things up right now. Last week was not as good on the No-S side of things, but ...

Re: oolala53
I admire the hard work you are doing to figure this all out - it sounds like it requires a lot of commitment. So frustrating when you feel like you are doing the right things and yet the labs don't support it (yet?). Hang in there!

Thanks for sharing - it is so enlightening to hear from long term No-S'ers how things are going and how you have made the system work for you. Very inspirational!

Welcome back, Sammy! I think a lot of us on these boards can relate to the pull of doing something that promises faster weight loss than No-S and then coming back to it after discovering that that other thing didn't work for us. Hang in there! It looks like you are halfway to your first goal - how g...

Re: ladybird's check in
I never thought of how even a small loss could have that effect, it's good you made that connection and have the awareness to know you just need to stick to the plan until your body gets settled.

It is a great idea to use the No-S framework to help keep your eating on track. Good lu...

Thanks Soprano, thanks Ladybird!

Except for exercise - that is no...

Re: Reinhard on redundancy for reinforcing habits
Thanks for the summary, Ladybird, this does sound like an interesting podcast. I used to love reading the newspaper while having lunch, but it did make it hard to stop eating, because I wanted to finish the newspaper! This got solved for me when my husband switched to a digital subscription :wink:

Amy's Checking In Again
Hi folks. I am a very loyal daily Habit Cal user and longtime No-S board member. I used to have an active check in thread when I first started out doing No-S in 2012, and got so much support and learned so much from the other members at that time. The boards were very active back then and the suppor...
