I'm having a very hard time getting on track again. Why? I look at the year I started here and think "duh... it should be obvious that this isn't working for you" but then I realize that if I'd kept all of those pounds off that I lost on NoS, I'd be at goal. (See page one here where I record it) I ...

I heard a quote that really applies to me... Perfect practice makes perfect. Yea, well duh me. If I spend less time practicing it perfectly, then I'm spending more time practicing it wrong! Doing something 100% of the time is easier than doing it 95% of the time. It takes away the "just this time" t...

What you've lost? Hold it!
So, as I was headed to the grocery store today my husband texts and tells me that the store has huge 18 pound bags of beautiful looking fresh oranges cheap and that I should get one. Mind you, I live in Iowa where they are all shipped in. The thrifty side of me thought "yea" while the practical side...

I'm doing fairly well, but wishing I could loose as fast as I gained during December. So last night my mom calls around 9:30 in the evening of 1/21/13 and tells me that we all need to go outside and look straight up to see the moon and see Venus right beside it bright as can be. She told me that it ...

The strangest thing happened today in my bible study. A woman whom I've never met was saying something about loosing weight on some plan (then I of course start listening) and I'm not sure what was said next but she laughed and said not unless you're Renee. I got goose bumps for some reason. Probabl...

My weighing problems went away when I started to write it down on a calendar. I write my weight on the top of the square for morning and bottom for evening, then instead of comparing to yesterday or a certain time, I compare to the same time the week before. I look more for trends, the big picture. ...

The thing is, when you really figure this out and are successful long term, eating is normal. Other diets need continuing diet counting. NoS teaches normalcy. I have been here quite a while and can tell you that I know of tons of super successful people from nos. Our problem is that they no longer n...

Re: new here
My problem is I drink 3 cream in my coffee , am addicted to pepsi and love chips and chocolate at night. Any suggestions would be welcome. Welcome! I wouldn't even count the cream unless you use more than average or have it with your meal. That's legal... so what if it takes you a long time to drin...

No coffee, tea or candy but loved beefsteak. I'm 5'7" and when I weighed 170 I didn't think I looked overweight, honestly, I am my own wo...
