Everyday Systems

We should start a bread-and-cheese support group - lol!


Welcome to the group! I wish you luck on your journey.

Yay! Another Sarah! Good luck on your journey!

Unfortunately I can't really say why, but I can just say that you're not alone... i do that too! If I'm feeling munchy at night, I know if I go to bed I'll be okay when I wake up, and I always am. I've heard it has something to do with insulin, leptin, and other body chemical level-y type stuff. :)

Good luck with your new hobby! A friend of mine makes his own beer and he loves it. Plus you have to love a hobby that you get to consume the results (that's why I bake ).

Thanks, milliem!

It's a little slower than I would have liked, but at least I'm -17lbs per year for the past 3 years instead of +17lbs per year for the past 3 years!

Hubby is trying to lose weight too, but he has a very big sweet tooth and I normally keep something sweet around the house for him.. I'll bake cupcakes or cookies or something. I recently introduced the idea that from now on whatever I bake will be baked on Saturday - that way we can both have a lit...

I've most recently counted weight watchers points, and I catch myself trying to keep track in my head, even when I'm not officially counting, so I feel your pain! For me it's just time that makes me stop. Luckily I'm lazy, so it doesn't take too long for my brain to go "yay! one last thing to do! In...

Congrats on keeping your 2012 resolution!!

Did you make a new resolution this year, or are you planning on just keeping a good thing going?

Hi, Jasper! I definitely wish you luck in reaching your goals! I personally think that there is success in perseverance. Sometimes when I stall in weight loss, for weeks or even months at a time, I get frustrated, but then I realize that with some of the bad habits I have with food (I'm a binger) I ...

Good job staying in the green, lindalou! I thought about saying in the green today too, since (because of the way Jan 1st fell) last week wasn't a full week of no-S, but I had a particular craving that I was afraid if I didn't give myself the opportunity to scratch it (with a cupcake!), that I may b...

Thanks for the welcome and the congrats, Sweetness! :D I was on the Spark People message boards for a while, but then kind of got away from them.. I thought about going back, but I noticed that they didn't have a No-S team, so I wanted to come check out here because I wanted to be able to meet other...

Yay, BrightAngel! Another kitty-fan! We never expected to have five, but they kept finding us and we couldn't tell them no. On two separate occasions we got cats because one of the ones we already had brought a new friend over to visit and the friend never left - lol! Thanks for the encouragement, t...

Thank you for the welcome, eschano!

Thank you for the replies! :) One day at a time is the best way to take it I think, pickleface. I'm glad that you're maintaining, so that you can now kind of pick back up where you left off and continue along your journey! :D YOU CAN DO IT!! vmsurbat- please tell me you're a psychic with your predic...

I started out my journey at 262lbs. Whenever anybody complains to me about "failing" on their diet I tell them "you didn't fail - you just weren't ready." My theory is that when someone is ready- and I mean TRULY ready, not just frustrated or wishful thinking- then that person will start moving in t...

Hello, everyone! I'm new-again to No S, and have decided to approach my new year's resolution a little differently this year. Instead of making it a promise that I make in January, it's an experiment that I won't know the outcome of until December - I want to know what No S will do for me if I do it...
