Breakfast: oatmeal with granola Lunch: PBJ on whole wheat, sun chips and pita chips Dinner: 2 chicken fajitas with black bean salsa, sun chips & pita chips I'm so happy to have had success yesterday since Wed is always my hardest day.

Great job GK! We started the exact same day so I'm happy I can follow your success too. Hope you are having a good day today. I woke up feeling great this morning. It's amazing how 2 days without sweets and snacking can make such a difference in how I feel. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for today. ...

As someone that has had previous success with NO S, I can tell you it works and you will love it! Last year, I followed the concepts strictly...

Hi - Just a little info about me. I'm a stay at home mom of 4 and I'm trying to build better eating habits for myself (and my kids.) I'm not trying to lose much weight but rather free myself from emotional eating and compulsive snacking! I cannot count the number of times I have gone to the pantry, ...

8/9 wt: 123 8/13 wt: 120 Aug 9:SUCCESS Aug 10: SUCCESS Aug 11: SUCCESS Aug 12:FAILURE I am going to classify yesterday as a failure though it wasn't that bad. We had an event to go to in the evening and the food was pretty bad. I had one small plate of what was at the buffet but wasn't really satisf...

Bkft: Bowl of oatmeal with blueberries and granola Lunch: 2 fajitas & chips Dinner: Shredded pork, lime/cilantro rice, black bean salsa and chips. Plate was full! I did have a few bites of things that were n...

Aug 10: SUCCESS (and feeling great!!)

Hi - I too struggle with nighttime snacking. I'm a very healthy eater until after dinner and then lose all willpower completely. I think I use food in the evenings to relax. Here's a suggestion that has worked for me: I would incorporate a 4th meal a few hours after dinner for the first week or two ...

Hi - I want to join the 21 day club and am posting for extra motivation and accountability. (I did a weigh in this morning and won't weigh in again until the end of the 21 days -- not really trying to lose weight just weighed in more for curiosity!) I'm doing this challenge to create a healthier rel...

Thanks Reinhard! I'm having a great week and I think I might finally be back on track after losing my way for a few months. I struggle sometimes because I don't have a weight problem so I can get away with snacks, sweets, etc., but it makes me unhappy because I feel that food controls me and not vic...

Thanks KCCC. All great pieces of advice! I listened to the podcasts for the first time and they were very helpful. I had a green No S day today so hoping for another one tomorrow

Hi - I am not exactly a newbie as I did No S very successfully before the holidays last year. I felt great and truly was amazed at the change in my approach to eating.I absolutely loved the lifestyle and felt so happy with my eating habits. I don't really need to lose weight and am doing it more to ...

Thanks for the idea on milk with a little vanilla. That is a great idea and I never would have thought about it! Yes, I see the point on processed cereals. However, plain cheerios only contain 1g of sugar per cup. I think I'd be hard pressed to find another cereal that has less. Maybe I should have ...

Hi - I'm on day 2 of trying for a 21 day vanilla no s and I need advice. I did great today but had a tennis match in the evening and was very hungry after the match. So, I decided that a bowl of cheerios would be okay -- technically it's a 4th meal but I knew I would have a really hard time going to...

Thanks! I agree with all these points. I figured it probably wasn't really in the true spirit of No S but I was so hoping I was wrong. Guess I'll save it for the weekend and get the REAL thing!! Thanks for all the posts. I'm on day 2 of vanilla No S and it's taking every ounce of willpower in my bod...

Yes and thank you for the answer. I didn't think to check sugar content!

Hi - Just wanted some advice on the new lo-cal Frappuccinos from Starbucks. I used to consider them an S but now they have a low cal coffee version that is about 80 calories (not that calories matter at all -- just using it because I wonder if this falls in the diet beverage category). I used to get...
