Hi Patty! Just dropping in to say I've been enjoying reading your posts and well done on your success and satisfaction with the No S Plan. I, too, have been mostly maintaining - give or take the odd lb or two - over the last 2 and a half years i have been on this plan. However, I do believe had i no...

Good for you, lbb on resisting the chocolate. This evening, I made a batch of fudge for the weekend -- since I was bored - now that I have made it, the temptation to nibble on it is STRONG! :roll: BUT.... I did manage not to eat any of it and even cut it up and put it away in a tin - out of sight, o...

Hi Deb! :D :D Thanks for your nice message! Glad you liked my post :) Yeah, I know what you mean by the lure of the scales!

gk, I'm with Deb - those mods sound absolutely great!!

Well done, deb! Sounds like you are doing great! Kudos for not stepping on the scale either. As a chronic weigher/slave to the scales, I say its good to keep off them especially if they have a negative effect on you.
