I haven't been doing the daily check in's for a while but I am rededicated to NoS.

Monday was a Success

I am going to do my absolute best to post to my check in without fail till the new year, and then move to the web based habitcal

you get more variety too by buying a cone at a time. Although a tip for those who do keep ice cream in the fridge. If you put a piece of saranwrap down flush against the ice cream before putting back in the freezer, you won't get as freezerburn as much or as soon. That assuming your icecream lasts l...

I've found the perfect size for eating ice cream on S days. I put 1 scoop in a coffee mug to enjoy. Before I would put ice cream in a bowl , and dish myself 3-5 scoops! not to mention all sort of toppings (carmel, chocolate fudge etc) I find the coffee mug method is the perfect size for me to enjoy ...

I am another lost sheep coming back into the fold. I'd become rather lax in following the noS plan and want to get back on track

What about just buying white cards and writing your month/year cards in red/blue ink? Or put some sort of identifying sticker/paperclip on them

I decided to start a new check in with some small food photos (taken with my camera phone, at last it has a use!) I use flickr.com to host my photo's cause it's free and fairly easy to use. Plus I thought it would be fun to have small photo's for people to see the 1 plate method. My hubby's decided ...

Thanks to all who replied I've since switched to plain yogurt with my frozen fruit, I do add about 1/2-1 teaspoon of honey to my yogurt to sweeten. I prefer using honey over sugar and find I use a lot less of it to make things slightly sweet. Whereas sugar, I tend to abuse. I tend to stick with the ...

I know I've read about Peanutbutter being a borderline no-s food but what about yogurt? I've recently started in on a yogurt kick for breakfast, thinking I was being really healthy. I normally get flavored low fat yogurt and sprinkle some plain granola on for crunch, sometime add in some frozen frui...

For the past year I've been playing around with listening to podcasts through Itunes. I've found some very inspirational music that's kept me walking on my lunches. Plus it's free which is always nice. My favorite Podrunner - a weekly 1 hour music show that features dance/techno type music mixed at ...

My goals.. -Be honest with myself with what I am and am NOT doing to further my progress.. stop making excuses -Stay with nos, stop trying to "excell" my weight loss with other programs. -Shovelglove every weekday -Drink less diet soda, more water. -Stop eating in front of the computer -Lose the upp...

oddly enough I don't actually eat over my keyboard, so I haven't had that problem. And I have yet to spill something on my keyboard *knocks on wood*

I'm not a big breakfast eater either. At least at work. I know a lot of people don't think a drink is breakfast. But I've found I really like Carnation Instant Breakfast. It's not a Weight loss drink like slim fast, just a breakfast alternative. It gives me the protein and nutrients I really should ...

In my case, Tube isn't really reffering to eating in front of the TV, it's eating in front of the computer. I'm trying to make a new rule for myself. No meals in front of the computer, tv, in the car, or with any other distractions (including books!). I've found my biggest overeating and snacking we...

Murphysraven

With gas prices on the rise to $3 a gallon and more in some areas where I live, I've decided not only to walk during my lunches, but to walk to and from work as well. This will take some willpower since I am notorious for sleeping in till the very last second and running out the door. I am fortunate...

Murphysraven

Thanks for all the support. I agree the scale is probably more detrimental than helpful to me. So I've decided to restrict myself to weighting once a week (on fridays, just before my S days)

Maybe I can ween myself down to once ever month but I'll take it in baby steps.

Thanks again!

Murphysraven

I've been doing a combo NoS/South Beach for a few months now and it's worked rather well for me as far as weight loss and management of my compulsive eating. I've been keeping a food journal on fitday.com, which is a fairly simple free online food journal you can track progress, exercise, food intak...

Murphysraven

I don't think the women who are following the nos lifestyle are trying to look like the woman on the left or even necessarily the woman on the right. This is not a way of eating that is going to turn you into a stick figure. It is a way to normalize and give structure to a indulgent society. Everywh...

This week has been mostly a success. Except for thursday, a coworker had a b-day and I had cake.

Murphysraven

Wensday & Thursday were a success.

Friday was a S day

The weekend was spent out of town and I ate a little more sugary foods that I should have.

Today I am back on track with the No-S plan!

Murphysraven

Tuesday was a success.

Today I had a pastry for breakfast

so I'm thinking this day is not a success.

Murphysraven

Monday was not a success. I had a really bad day at work and bought some dessert at the store on my way to a friends house. I bought a pack of 3 petite fours (a super mini cake, about a 2"cube) and shared them with two of my friends whom I had dinner with. So basically it was one each. I have notice...

Murphysraven

Friday was a success

Two S-days followed (I had pizza and a candy bar for my treats on Saturday)

I've lost another pound and a half. Woot!

Murphysraven

Thursday was a success. and I'm feeling a lot better.

I've lost a total of 12 lbs so far. I think my next goal is going to be cutting out the diet soda slowly. Must drink more water!

Murphysraven

Wensday was a success even being sick. I got 3 healthy meals in.

Murphysraven

Thursday & Friday Success Two S days followed however I started getting sick on Saturday. I'm still sick today (Wensday). I would not count these days as failures but not successes either. I haven't eaten too many meals or sweets. In fact I have hardly eaten at all due to feeling so yucky. I guess I...

Murphysraven

Wensday I had a sugar free fudgecicle after dinner. It wasn't really a special day so much so I guess I will not count this day as a success. I love these little fudgecicles from bluebunny. The serving size says 2 bars (but really I only ever eat 1) and it's only like 45 cal and no sugar (they use s...

Murphysraven

Tuesday was a little weird. I wanna say it was not a success but technically I did follow the rules. I had a rushed day and totally spaced lunch. Really bizzarre that my stomach didn't try to kill me. Dinner was at 6ish (salmon mmm!) but later on that evening (around 8:30) I really wanted to eat som...

Tuesday and Wensday were a success!

Monday was a success!

hehe I stepped on the scale tuesday morning. I've already lost a bit of weight. woot!

Murphysraven

Evenings are the worst times for me in regards to wanting to snack and being hungry. There are times when I'll eat my dinner in two parts. What I've found to work is to have 1 normal dinner plate of food, and just eat half.. enough to not be hungry anymore.. Then I'll wait a couple hours (my normal ...

Murphysraven

Friday Sat and Sunday were a success!

Murphysraven

Thursday was a Success

Murphysraven

Sorry I've been away for so long, I fell off the wagon AGAIN! But if at first you don't succeed. Try Try again.

I'm currently in a size 18 pants and they're starting to get tight!! I am determined to kick the overeating habit!

Today has been a success.

Murphysraven

Monday = Success
Tuesday = Not Success (doc appointment, anxiety over blood being drawn caused some chocolate therapy)
Wensday = Success

Murphysraven

Friday was a success.

S-days followed

Murphysraven

Thursday was NOT a success. I was especially hungry that day for some reason and had larger meals than normal for me. I also ended up nibbling on some chocolate and 2 oreo cookies towards the evening. Breakfast: Ceral & banana Lunch: Foot long subway sub and baked chips Dinner: Hamburger and grilled...

Murphysraven

Wensday was a Success.

Murphysraven

Tuesday was a Success. Although I did have a much larger dinner than normal. It did fit on one plate. My breakfast and lunch was pretty skimpy that day which is probably why I was so hungry come dinner. I did turn down the ice cream that my husband offered, and reminded him that I am doing noS and t...

Murphysraven

Hi Deb, The hubby knows I am going back on noS. I think he forgot that day as I just started. I've asked him to take all the candy and chips that he enjoys to work or at least out of site. I am pretty good about not snacking as long as it's not right in front of me. Friday was a success. Sat & Sun w...

Murphysraven

Thursday was NOT a success. I forgot to eat breakfast because it was so busy at work. Ate lunch and dinner as normal. But couldn't pass up a small slice of pumkin pie that my husband offered me.

Murphysraven

Wensday was a SUCESS. No snacks, no sweets. There was a little verticle stacking of pizza for dinner though

Murphysraven

Tuesday was a SUCESS. I did have an apple after dinner that technically could have fit on my plate. I felt hungry about a half hour after dinner and felt an apple wouldn't be cheating (too much at least). I walked 45 min on my lunch time and did about 5 min of shovelglove. I am working up to the ful...

Thanks for all the support guys. I've always been a heavy gal but that doesn't always translate into size. I wear between a size 16-18 jeans, and 1x top depending where I shop. While I do own a scale I am determined not to weight myself more than once every month or less. How I feel and how my cloth...

Murphysraven

Some may remember me from a while ago, but you won't hurt my feeling if you don't. I fell of the no S wagon, tried a bunch of other gimmics, and decided that No S was the best out of the bunch. I am rededicating myself to no s. Starting today. My weight goals are to drop about 90 Lbs or so by next y...

Murphysraven

Thanks Deb I live across the lake from Seattle. Born and raised here. Suprisingly enough I don't have moss growing on my skin. I do agree it's a lovely area

Murphysraven

HAHA my typo, that would be a weight loss! when in fact the typo was that I am 218 now. I think weight 118 I would look skeletal

Murphysraven

Well as per usual I dropped off the journaling kick. But that's ok because I've stuck with the noS kick! :D It's forming a habit. I hardly ever eat snacks, even on weekends! My meals are a lot smaller and much better choices. My candy and processed junk cravings have been halved. I was going to wait...

Murphysraven

I really love your idea that on s days you just add a little more to the 3 meal plan. I think I am going to encorporate this into my plan and see how it works for me. Once of my first Sday was a spent at a friends house playing a game for about 4-5 hours. We loaded up on sugar and snacks all day. Ev...

I think what was a big pain in the rear for me what trying to figure out the point values whan I was on weight watchers. Writing down what I eat and at what time is fairly simple for me. I use a blank check register to record in. That way if I ever get the urge to estimate point values to compair th...

Murphysraven

heh, well it was a total lazy day. I feel kinda guilty for just sitten around in my pj's in frount of my computer ALL day. But sometimes that just the sort of day you need

Murphysraven

Well I'll give a brief overview of last week and my S-day's. I started pretty much on a tuesday. [Success] Wensday - it was very busy at work and I was eating my breakfast and lunch portions pretty much through the entire day. I do not think this coinsides with the plan so I decided I need to eat my...

Thanks for the welcome everyone! I plan on doing an update soon if work allows me the time. Reinhard - I hope it's ok that I have that link in my sig block. If not I can remove it. I tried to make sure it wasn't too showy because I am not trying to draw anyone away from your site. But for anyone who...

hello everyone. I found this site through a livejournal entry that linked to a workout site, that linked to a refference to shovelglove and finally linking to the nos diet. Ah the magic of the internet! After trying and miserable failing atkins, south beach and other "quick fixes" (I just can't keep...
