Stints have done wonders for my father. He is now in his 80s and has managed to avoid the heart attacks that plagued all his brothers by regular care and paying attention to the warning signs. He has had several stint procedures over a period of many years. (So be encouraged!) It sounds like you are...

I am still adjusting to the home routine and the cold weather. The nasty cold DH and I both caught also lasted a full week with some residual cough still remaining. DH had it even worse. I have managed to get back to regular exercise, but I am still behind on some chores. I decided to give up sweets...

Small steps are so important! The big closet clean outs make me feel good but are useless without the small steps. Right now my focus is picking up every time I walk through a room. DH never hangs up his coat so I do. We both tend to drop things on the kitchen island as we enter the house rather tha...

We just returned from five weeks in an 8 x 23 foot camper. DH, new puppy, and I headed to Florida to escape the winter weather. It was a grand experience. I could not weigh myself because the minimal room we had did not include taking anything as nonessential as a scale. I feel I am pretty close to ...

I just spent 5 weeks living in an 8 x 23 foot camper with my husband and a new puppy. Clutter control was essential because of the small space and because the puppy chewed everything that was left within her reach. I definitely learned that I can exist with far fewer belongings around me. I am home ...

Good to see the decluttering effort is still active! I have been working on it here and there, but it is a constant battle. After 27 years in the same home, it is too easy to just stuff things away. We have lots of closets and storage places and a house to ourselves that used to hold five if us. How...

I am also a beer girl, and there was a time when one or two good craft beers were enough. After retirement, that slipped upwards with so much free time to socialize. Just like everything else, we all have our own level of moderation. Mine is one or two and trying to keep it at no more than one per h...

It sounds like you are doing really well. Different mods work for different people. I try to stay pretty true, but In 4 years I doubt I have ever had a month without multiple red days. I probably average 2-4 reds a month and more during the holidays. I just try to keep my red days and S days moderat...

I guess I do not really know how much I fluctuate either KCCC. I also generally weigh Wednesday-Friday, once a week. This weigh in was on a Wednesday but also after a 3 day trip. Thanks for that reminder. I have a tendency to avoid the scale when I am not doing well. I am trying to break this habit ...

I just got back home from a 3 day trip and eating extravaganza. This is an annual Xmas trip for us. Yet, we walk everywhere so I logged an average of 20,000 steps on the two main days of the trip. This does not offset the crazy amount of calories consumed! Knowing all this, I was still astounded to ...

I have been taking a bit of a break lately after 5-6 months of gradual weight loss. Starting with our vacation at the beginning of November I have focused on maintainig my losses for the year (about 17 lbs). I am so close to my goal, but I just cannot focus on weight loss during the holiday season. ...

Early on with No S, I had no mods, but after I had been at it for awhile, I retired. I have since experimented taking my S days on different days. Currently I usually take either Friday/Saturday or Saturday/Sunday. However, I never split S days, such as taking part of Friday and part of Sunday. To m...

So you are craving snacks but not hungry? For me this was best dealt with by keeping busy and distracting myself from thoughts of eating. I hate to say it, but it was also sheer will power at first. If real hunger is involved, I might drink a glass of milk or tomato juice. After a while, it becomes ...

I used the Fitness Pal app for 6 months to track certain nutritional items, and it taught me a lot about what I was eating. I am glad I did it, but I have weaned myself away from it recently. Tracking will never be a permanent part of my life. I am back to Vanilla No S, but I am more knowledgeable a...

I eat out a lot. It is my way of keeping in touch with friends. I usually gauge my meal and eat what seems to be in line with a dinner plate and take the rest home. If I want to stay green, I skip the chips at Mexican restaurants and just eat the main plate. Or I order no meal, just one side item (s...
