Thanks for the link. I'm looking forward to checking her out. Reading your posts I'm feeling inspired to really cut down the meat I'm eating. I'm thinking I might go ahead and eat meat at restaurants and other people's houses, but limit stuff at home to just fish. And keep even that to a sometimes....

Thanks so much, Julie! I'm glad that everyone is doing OK right now, too. I found the recipe for Green & Red Enchiladas in the "Peas and Thank You: Simple Meals the Whole Family Will Love" cookbook by Sarah Matheny. She has it posted on her blog. It can either be vegetarian or vegan, depending on wh...

Thanks so much for the kind thoughts for my Dad, Denise. I guess it has been awhile since I checked in. My Dad had his cancer surgery 2 weeks ago. The pathology report looks good and he is on the mend. We are very grateful. In the meantime, my college roommate and dear friend, at age 36, was diagnos...

Yesterday was a success for No S and exercise. I'm awake far too early because we received the difficult news yesterday that my Dad has been diagnosed with a moderately aggressive form of the c-word. :( The bad news is that the biopsy results weren't all that great. The good news is that things have...

Back from vacation. I'm up 5 lbs as of now. Weight was 122.6 on the day we left and 127.6 this morning, two days after getting back home and one day after getting back on track with No S. I know full well that some of this is travel bloat from eating out frequently, excess sodium, etc, but the truth...

On vacation. î² I've been getting in over 10,000 steps everyday and am having to "go with the flow" a bit in terms of food. We are visiting with family, who are major snackers, and regular meals are not always available. While I haven't been snacking, we have eaten out a fair amount due to travel an...

I think it depends on what you can handle and what you want out of No S. Personally, I've found that the stricter I am with vanilla No S, the stronger my habit becomes, the easier it becomes and the more success I have overall. I think adding in an S at a time would have made the process a lot harde...

I've also used the S Event mod with success and am planning to use it again during our upcoming vacation. I don't have a hard limit on the ses I can take but I do make a note of each S event which tends to keep the number down. I don't exempt myself from my exercise habit during vacation. I also ten...

Sounds like you are doing great! Just FYI, I wouldn't worry too much about any gain following S Days. It is very common. In fact, I always see a gain immediately after the weekend. But it is a temporary gain and drops down by the end of the week. Many folks opt not to get on the scale immediately fo...

I *mostly* agree with this. I think there can be exceptions (medical, pregnancy, etc) but I do think mods should be made sparingly so that habit has enough time to develop and the body has time to adjust. With that said, if someone is doing vanilla No S with perfect (or very near perfect) compliance...
