Again, oolala, I can only echo what heddi so eloquently and accurately said. You are truly the Mother Figure of the No S Board. (Meant in the nicest possible way, of course !

NoSRocks

Hear, hear!

Wonderful and heartfelt post from oolala! Thanks also oola, for your great post. I am sure it struck a chord in all of us

NoSRocks

Decided to post a testimonial on the Board last night folks! I have to say, I found it very difficult to put into words just how much the No S diet means to me and has improved my life. In SO MANY WAYS!!! I may have to revisit my post sometime in the future when I have more time to devote to it. But...

I thought it was about time I posted a testimonial to this wonderful eating plan. 26 lbs down and still losing ! :) :) After a few false starts (!)

Hi guys! :) Hope you all had a great weekend. Just popping in for a little update etc. Not much to report really.

Hey tmom! Just wanted to say I think you are doing BRILLIANTLY to even attempt No S whilst expecting! If it were me, I think I'd use pregnancy as the perfect excuse to "eat for two! !!

You're most welcome, Kathleen! And its wonderful to 'see' you are at peace with your eating plan too. Well done on your ongoing success. You're doing great! AWEsome job on the weight loss !!

hi! Just chiming in with my thoughts on this - as a person who has a very sweet tooth and loves desserts - and until recently, loved to bake and eat treats in anticipation of my S Days.

Yeah, being able to create your own mods and tailor them to suit your needs as opposed to a one size fits all "diet" , its all good :) :) That's another thing I love about the No S Plan - it is flexible and as Reinhard mentions in the book - can be implemented alongside other plans.
