Is having cookies and milk instead of lunch and dinner a fail? :P If you are doing vanilla No s, then it is, even tho' you may have taken in less food overall. It's about establishing the no-sweet-during-the-week habit. I've been doing No S for quite some time, so I tried modifying out of boredom, ...

wosnes, do you know when you've gained weight by the way your clothes fit? I purposely haven't weighed myself for a few weeks now, but I know I've gained. I get sloppy with my eating, but the scale is something I would love to do away with. (I can't throw it out, because of the remaining high school...

Hi Redrockin, welcome! I mostly cook from scratch and I'm 3 years younger than you. Yes, being post-menopausal is harder to get the larder off and keep it off, but No S is simple in terms of rules, the execution of those rules are a little harder, of course, but I know no other way as most here can ...

I had done 24 hour fasting 2Xwkly for 1-1/2 years. It did not cause me to overeat on N-days and actually helped me lose the weight I wanted along with No S. But last years holidays did me in. I gained 10 lbs, even with the fasting. I dropped the fasting for 4-5 months, tried to start it up again lat...

My garden yielded a lot of strawberries this year, so I made strawberry syrup and rhubarb syrup to make my own sodas. Very delicious, but very unwise as I'm the only one who drank it. I have to stick with jam. Even tho' I'm having a hard time with eating right now, I'm am learning about what works a...

Warm weather calls for ice cream novelties. They have good sales, and every time I go to the store I give in to the temptation. I have a husband and 3 sons at home yet, and they told me it's okay to skip the novelties, but they still want the cartons of icecream. So no one else to blame. Cartons are...

Every now and then I tweak Vanilla No S. It normally involves a treat or dessert after lunch and/or dinner. It starts out slowly and balloons (no pun intended). I then go back to vanilla and things work out fine again. Altho' I gain pounds in the process, I also gain some wisdom about myself. I prob...

Oolala, the N-days compliancy with me started out almost 100%, but as the wild weekends continued, the N-day compliancy dropped. It became discouraging that I couldn't get control over my S-day eating. I use these days to bake, (and unlike wosnes, I do like the over-the-top desserts!) and I always h...
