I am so glad I wrote that list last month. I came back to read it tonight. Since moving to Hawaii in January I have gained about 20 pounds. The loneliness and uncertainty of frequent military moves just takes its toll. My main problem is dieting. I switch diets like a madwoman. I have spent so much ...

tobiasmom

Great idea to make a list!!! Here is my downright honest thoughts..... Chaotic eating causes......... - guilt - physical joint pain - need for more and more junk - weight gain - anxiety - jumping to a new diet plan - high blood pressure - mood swings esp w kids and hubby - lazy and tired - wasted ti...

Gonna give this month an honest shot 👍👍

tobiasmom

Why, oh, why do I continue to do this to myself? I've been gone from No-S trying who knows how many different things....and they are all so almost cultish and obsessive!! It's really craziness. I can't stick to any of them long-term and I truthfully don't want to! I don't know why I can't get it int...

tobiasmom

Mine is most definitely afternoons (2:00-5:00). My littlest takes a nap and I get tempted to relax a bit with food 😝

tobiasmom

Well, I haven't checked in in a few weeks. You can always bet that's cuz I haven't been doing what I'm supposed to😝. But here I am. I had planned to track my meals, but that sounds quiet diet-y to me right now. So I will just do the 21 days of habit check-in here instead! I think if I can ge...

tobiasmom

It's been a month since I have checked in. I ended up not having a biopsy on my thyroid. Doc said it looks benign still so we will will check it again in six months. It's uncomfortable, but I don't want to remove the thyroid unless I really truly have to!! I'm down a little over 2 pounds this month....

tobiasmom

Well, today was red. Plain and simple. I am letting busyness and stress overtake my eating structure. I have a biopsy of two thyroid nodules tomorrow. I had one last year...and it's just uncomfortable and a little scary. Food will not help me, but I still mentally go there. Ugh... I've got some work...

tobiasmom

Well, here it goes. I have been on the diet roller coaster for way too many years. I have decided that I really need to heal. I need to learn to love myself. I need to stop the dieting and calorie counting and obsessing and binging and quitting and negative self talk. So I am going on this journey a...

tobiasmom

Hey, Girl! I might need some advice from you soon. My thyroid nodule is growing and causing discomfort so I am having another ultrasound and biopsy this coming month. They will take out half if biopsy is benign or the whole thing if it is cancer. I had Hurthle cells last year so we shall see.... How...

tobiasmom

April already?! Wowza!!! I've let some of the month pass by already...but I am here now!

tobiasmom

Oh, man....I started March well and then just let the rest of the month get away from me. Gonna get back in it for April 😊😊

tobiasmom

I am definitely struggling this week. The Friday NWS day for my birthday turned into a weeklong celebration.... 😝😝😝. So I am shooting for two greens to finish out this week.....

tobiasmom

(hUG). Sorry about your pup 😢😢😢

tobiasmom

One red day this week AND a NWS day for my birthday yesterday. But I am still trucking along and feeling great about it 😀😀

tobiasmom

Second week green!!! Feeling great. It's not easy...but it's definitely worth it and way more enjoyable than anything else I've done!!

tobiasmom

I am so happy to have finished out an entire month challenge for the first time!!!! I had a good amount of reds...but happy to have finished out the month strong 😀😀😀

tobiasmom

I had more red days than green in February...but I seem to have finished out February strong. So I am just going to keep moving forward! Goal this month would be LESS red 😀 NWS day: 3/11 (my birthday) 1. GREEN! 2. GREEN! 3. GREEN! 4. GREEN! 5. S DAY! 6. S DAY! 7. RED 😝 8. GREEN! 9. G...

tobiasmom

I had an entire GREEN week....and it feels awesome!!!

tobiasmom

So I have had ONLY four green days this month so far 😜 But the best news is that I have continued on No-S with no diet hopping and wake up every morning trying to do better. I have been getting some running in and that feels awesome! I now just plan to really focus on my three plates. Who ca...

tobiasmom

I had a poor first half of the month but plan to finish strong 😀

tobiasmom

Happy Happy Birthday!! Enjoy!!

I have had a big string of red days lately. The sugar has been kicking my booty! But I am trying.....

tobiasmom

I am here. I had a temporary two-week lapse of judgment and was following a diet again! Blech! I actually lost some weight, but I was quite miserable at the prospect of having to eat that way much longer. I even followed No-S with that plan half the time but realized the true freedom in No-S is just...

tobiasmom

I'm trying again too! I gave up mid-month last month 😝 I really want to make it the whole month! This is the shortest month anyway, right?! 😜😜😜. A few reds are ok. I just want to make it through the entire month ON No-S, period! 1: GREEN! 2: RED!! 😝 3: GREEN! ...

tobiasmom

Thinking about ya!! Get well soon!

tobiasmom

Red Thursday 😝😝😝😝😝😝 I am struggling to control this brain of mine!!! I flip flop all darn day. Food and dieting consume me. I am committed to continuing this No-S journey and continuing to change this messed up brain of mine. I know No-S is the answer ...

tobiasmom

I had a red Wednesday...Costco sample that then led to an afternoon chips and salsa snack 😝😝. The good part is that I ate dinner and stopped. No WTH effect! One little victory at a time. I have officially lived in Hawaii for a week! I am slowly but surely learning the ropes. Hubby's ...

tobiasmom

Yay!!! Congrats!!!

tobiasmom

I haven't read your thread in a while. Surgery this Friday? I will be praying for ya! I, too, have a thyroid nodule that we are keeping our eye on. It's always something, huh?! Do you start on some meds after the surgery? No-S Will hopefully be the sane moderation to help you through this 😀

tobiasmom

Great to see you still trucking along. You are really down in weight! Little by little you are making it happen!!! Awesome job!

tobiasmom

You are doing awesome! Check out all that green!!!

tobiasmom

I love your mentality. I struggle so much mentally with this eating thing. Ugh! I love the bungee jump....I usually just unhook at the bottom and keep falling....and rehook the cord a week later. 😝😝😝

tobiasmom

My S days were somewhat sane...maybe a little too many donuts on Sunday 😝 Monday was green AND I started a Bootcamp class! Today I got in my own head and started cutting out stuff, only to end up snacking and eating sugar tonight 😬 Lesson learned. Working on green tomorrow! I am supe...

tobiasmom

Back to green today (Friday)! 😀

tobiasmom

Red day yesterday on the plane. I just snacked on junk while dealing with the kids on the plane. No excuses. Just moving forward 😀 So the funny thing is that I'm in a year-long weight loss challenge with a bunch of friends (we have quarterly challenges). We weigh on Fridays. Most of them are...

Another green! And this time at Cheesecake Factory 😛😛😛😛.

Getting on a plane in the morning. Praying the kids do well on the 6-hour flight. The adventure begins....

tobiasmom

A GREEN Tuesday over here 😀😀😀😀 I shipped the minivan to Hawaii today! It's getting real now. It's exciting that I will get to see hubby in two days. We have been apart for a few months because he had to report early. The kids are excited!! It is one of our last nights...

Green Monday 😀

tobiasmom

Well, it's a New Year! I'm hoping to make the best of 2016 and really focus on just eating my three plates and not overthinking things...and not jumping ship....for the whole year. Today was green! I move to Honolulu in six days. I cannot wait to settle down and get back into a routine of sorts!!! W...

Hey, All. I have been around these No-S boards off and on for at least 5 years now. I seem to continue the same vicious cycle over and over......I get the No-S habit down and really enjoy the plan only to worry about the number on the scale and jump to some other plan I can't stick with. I probably ...

tobiasmom

So glad to hear you are on the mend and loving your body. Very convicting for me. I'm not there yet....but I want to be!! I've gotta dust off my Fitbit and get walking again!!! Great seeing you here.

tobiasmom

So Monday was a fail ðŸ˜. I got really emotional and just blew it in the evening. Want to hear my good news, though?? NO cancer!!!! I'm not quite sure what the nodules are, but the doc left a message that it was a favorable outcome. Dr appt next week. I woke up thinking I should try some other diet ...

tobiasmom

You're doing awesome!! No-S really is so sane. I, like you, get so overwhelmed with gluten-free, paleo, calorie or point counting, carb counting, etc. yikes. Regular food is just so much better!!!!

tobiasmom

Better late than never....

tobiasmom

I had two completely sane S days this weekend. I feel so good about them going into a new week! I'm ready for some green in my life ðŸ˜€ðŸ˜€ Things have been quite hectic around here. I finally got my thyroid biopsy of two suspicious nodules on Thursday and am awaiting those results this week. We al...

tobiasmom

Who was I kidding that I'd be able to stay off this site?

. To be honest, you all are so encouraging... and I need that in my life! So I'll be hanging around here for sure. But no diet sites. No researching. Just eating my three plates and moving forward![/i]

tobiasmom

Hey, Girl! Great to see you around. I seriously feel like you and I are the same people!! Ha. I totally understand the struggle of choosing WHAT to do instead of just DOING something! I've been doing that for years. Always starting or planning to start.... never following through. I think we can con...

tobiasmom

Well, it's been another month.... and I haven't had the biopsies performed yet! Insurance authorization and all that jazz takes a long time, apparently! The good news is that I should be getting it this week sometime! It turns out I don't have lupus! Yay! I just have to drink some wine or take some ...

tobiasmom

Well, I've kind of let the stress get to me. I found out today that the ultrasound of my thyroid showed nodules that need biopsied. One of my lupus tests was also positive. The good news is we are moving in the right direction of figuring out all this stuff.... and I just need to treat my body bette...

tobiasmom

Well, I'm here. This past month... or even past year or so... I've had some health problems. It's escalated now. They took 14 vials of blood yesterday.... ya, both arms! My thyroid gland is swollen, my joints hurt horribly, I can barely stay awake, and I'm eating everything in sight! Sucks. I have t...

tobiasmom

I eat my pancakes topped with peanut butter. So I do sometimes have then on an N day if the kids ask for them. But I do wait for S days to make them with sweet toppings.

tobiasmom

I have a fitbit too. You want to find me on there? I think you can do it by my email address (jwandawandtw@gmail.com)!

tobiasmom

So I pretty much had a RED week. But I feel like I'm making changes slowly but surely. Yesterday I only had a few things. I didn't binge, which is a huge thing for me. Actually, I haven't binged all week, despite some very tough emotional things that came up. I plan to continue on and just eat my th...

tobiasmom

Hey there! I'm back at it YET again too! No promises, but let's try to keep our heads on straight

tobiasmom

Day 6: red. Day 7: red Wanna know why they are red?? My mind!!! Ask me how I already jumped ship back to my old dieting head after 5 days?! Yikes!! You know what did it? I got on the darn scale after two S days....and it freaked me out. No more scale. Very emotional day. So much of the past was brou...

tobiasmom

I totally get it. This really is the most sane plan. My plan is to try to stay off the scale for a while. The thought of sticking to any of those diets in the long-term just makes me want to run

tobiasmom

You're doing awesome!!! Happy Mothers' Day!!

tobiasmom

Oh, boy...I know that uneasiness of not knowing clearly what's ahead. Being a military family, we aren't even sure right now where we will be living six months from now. It's a very unsteady feeling.....BUT that has me focusing on ONE day at a time! Great to see you around!

tobiasmom

Day 4: Wild and crazy S day. Yikes! To be expected at the beginning, I guess. Wowza! I drank a whole bunch of soda... and had pizza and brownies.... and some stuff at a kid's birthday party.

No obsessing. Just wait til...

I have found yoga to be really good for my joints, etc. But I have hurt myself doing some poses more than once

Hello, Lady! SO I've been gone a while in my own little land (and let's just say it didn't work out so swell). Glad to see you still here! I, too, am struggling with an autoimmune illness (RA).... and know how tiring it is to be THAT person with the illness.

One day at a time.....

tobiasmom

I Love LOVE Skinnytaste recipes... but haven't tried the enchilada soup. Must add it to the list! Crab guacamole also sounds amazing!!!!

tobiasmom

SO well said! Today is day 1 for me.... and I know my Mr. Hyde will be coming out later in the day. Keeping my promise to myself will build that muscle....I LOVE that!

tobiasmom

I've decided to start a whole new check-in thread, a fresh start! In the past year I've followed a few different plans and lost 30 pounds......and regained every single pound. In the middle of the weight loss and regain I attempted No-S a couple times but kept being pulled back to the different plan...

Here I am AGAIN. It's been another couple weeks since I've checked in. I am living and learning and failing and moving on. I will not give up. I keep coming back here. Over and over and over.

I had a red day yesterday. BUT I'm giving myself some grace because yesterday was my first day gluten-free.

Crazy weekend of wild S days! Yikes... I have decided to try a month or two completely gluten free to see if I get any joint pain relief. The pain has been VERY bad the past 9 months or so.

I was kind of MIA last week. After a few red days in a row and getting on the darn scale (not a good idea), I tried to jump ship again! Diet head. It doesn't work, of course.
