Hi Bluebell, how great that it worked out that you could enjoy your son's birthday meal without guilt (of course you still could have had one plate without guilt on an N day but an S day is definitely better for that) I couldn't help dropping in to say hi when I saw your location. I spend a lot of t...

3squaremeals, that's a really good number in that time frame (looking at your sig), you should be really pleased. I have a similar amount to lose so it's motivational for me. Remember that you are successfully sticking to the diet even when you eat more chocolate than maybe you intended to on an S d...

Thanks for the replies, I definitely needed to muse on this for a minute and posing the question helped me think it over. I've decided to take Monday as an S day because I am off work on that day and so is my husband, so it does feel a bit special. Today however my husband has to work, and my routin...

How could I look at myself in the mirror again knowing I failed myself again. Please remember that weight is not an issue of morality, being overweight doesn't make you a bad person, nor does it make you a faiiure. It means your body is physically heavier. That is all. It is not a measurement of yo...

Welcome to No S, I look forward to following your check ins. I'm returning to No S after a while of having drifted away, and the reason I came back is that I was spending too much time thinking 'what should I do about my weight?' and 'how should I be tackling my weight?' on No S I just follow three ...

Easter as S or not?
I find myself wondering what people are doing regarding Easter and S days. It is a holiday, both in the country I'm from and where I live now, but it sort of feels fraudulent to count it as an S day. I love the idea of having 1 or 2 extra S days but honestly I'm not a Christian and I don't celebrate...

My experience answers part of your question I think. I'm currently 174 lbs at 5ft6 so I'm not at goal weight, but I have done a restrictive diet. A few years ago I did 5:2, but I actually did 4:3 for 4 months, so that's having only 500 calories on 3 days a week. I recently tried that again before co...

I've been through every variation of this. There was a time in my life when I never weighed myself, then when I finally did, I was about 18 lbs heavier than I had thought I was. About a year ago I was weighing myself up to four times a day, that wasn't every day but probably minimum twice a day. At ...

Skycat's daily check-in
Hi, I'm hoping to use this as a sort of diary to both keep me on track, and prevent me boring my husband to death talking about it. Firstly a little (or a lot) about me. I'm British but currently living in Germany teaching English as a second language to adults. Married with no children. Husband is ...
