It's been about a month since I've recommitted to No-S...and it's been great! No red days so far! One of the secrets of my success is eating what I REALLY want, while still keeping it healthy.

xJocelynx87

Day 5 - FAILURE! I know WHY it was a failure though....I did not have a substantial breakfast. I know that a filling, enjoyable breakfast is KEY for me in order to have a succcessful N-day.

xJocelynx87

Today was a little tough, but not too bad. I had some coffee with milk at work to keep myself from caving, but other than that I did not have much trouble today. I think my mind is finally in the right place, so its making the physical component of No-S much easier. Not that easy though, I'm already...

xJocelynx87

I've decided to stick to vanilla No-S for a full year, along with a daily check-in. Due to the fact that I've been on and off this plan since last August and have yet to find anything more enjoyable and sustainable, I know it is worth the investment. I KNOW No-S is the only plan I can stick to for t...

xJocelynx87

I've heard Reinhard mention that some people following No-S allow certain foods to be eaten without considering them 'snacks'. For example, fruits; some people will allow themselves to consume ONLY fruits between their 3 meals, but they do not break the rule of No-Snacks. I've been having a real pro...

xJocelynx87

A few months ago I lost around 13lbs combining No-S with regular exercise. Life happened, and I fell off the wagon. I have restarted several times with little consistency, but I am maintaining my weight and know that as long as I keep coming back the habits will re-stick eventually. Even when I'm no...

xJocelynx87

Wow -- What an up-and-down summer I've had...definitely lost all of those good solid habits I developed back in late December. I've pretty much maintained my weight, give or take 5lbs, but I definitely do NOT feel comfortable here. When I was recovering from anorexia, my weight immediately shot up t...

xJocelynx87

Because if I have one more sandwich, I'll probably fall asleep from boredom. Turkey...ham....peanut butter and jelly.....yeah, yeah, they're all great, but I AM BORED. Today I put my turkey and cheese on whole wheat inside a ziploc back and put it in the zipper part of my bag...next to a pack of gum...

xJocelynx87

I've definitely been less than perfect since starting this new check-in...but I never stop picking myself back up, and I don't think I ever will. I did surprisingly well this weekend, and today I am back on track. I even went for an hour-long run. I'm hoping that going full-force into the diet and e...

xJocelynx87

Day 8 - FAILURE! Today was another failure. Hm...not starting out well this month. I'm shockingly optimistic, though, because my failures are becoming much more minor than they have ever been. No more all-out binging, just little slips here and there. Hopefully, this means the habits are starting to...

xJocelynx87

Well....first day of the month....and a failure for me. :( Dinner was pushed back about an hour and a half, so I ended up getting ravenous and snacking. It was by no means a binge, but a failure nonetheless. Also, I think my appetite is feeling deprived because I did not have anything I truly wanted...

xJocelynx87

Today was fairly easy...although I wish I took more advantage of my S-days this past weekend because I think I may have actually under-indulged! Oh well...early S-day this week for Fourth of July...So I'll remember to make the most of it then! Still not sure whether or not my dinner portions are too...

xJocelynx87

My first S-days since getting back on track went surprisingly well. I was, ehm, hung over for most of Saturday, so my appetite was thrown off, but I still got to enjoy some good food. Today I did a little more snacking than I would have liked, but nothing major. Today is only a 4-day week as Friday ...

xJocelynx87

Today was actually pretty easy to get through. Probably because I was busy shopping and getting ready for a partly I'm going to shortly. Tomorrow is my first S-day, and my plan is to allow myself whatever I want as long as I stick to meals. I'm thinking about a cinnabon and coffee for brunch...MMM. ...

xJocelynx87

Today was hard, too. I was tempted to cheat several times, but I managed to get through it. I just finished dinner and will be working until 10 o'clock tonight. After that, I'll be too tired to even walk to the kitchen, so I don't anticipate having any problems for the rest of the day. My dinner was...

xJocelynx87

I think I'm having a change of heart actually. After not enjoying my coffee AGAIN this morning, I've decided to allow myself one plain latte with whole milk and a teaspoon of sugar per day, either from Starbucks or other coffee chain, or made at home. This way, if I'm rushed in the morning (college)...

xJocelynx87

Well, it was tough, but I managed to get through the day perfectly. I am satisfied with most of the meals I seem to eat frequently as far as size, health, and how pleasurable they are. After 21 days I'll probably reduce my dinner portions a bit, because I know that I don't really need a HEAPING pile...

xJocelynx87

Thanks you two.

I guess I am hesitant to allow myself the coffee at any time of day because it may feel too much like a snack and tempt me to keep eating. Unless someone else's answer really convinces me otherwise, I think I'll keep my coffee with breakfast.

xJocelynx87

I'm in college, so it goes without saying that I've developed a strong liking for coffee, especially Starbucks. I love a latte, iced or hot (Just espresso and milk, none of the syrapy sugary junk...except for once in awhile, like on an S-day!). Normally I force myself to make coffee at home in order...

xJocelynx87

I've been having a really hard time with consistency lately, and I feel as though I need a fresh start. I got into a really nice groove a couple months back, and I would really love to get back into it. I want to resume my No-S habits, exercising 3-4x per week and eating really healthy foods, and I ...

I'm going to try not to do anymore damage before bedtime, because that's no good...but who knows...hopefully I won't use the failure as an excuse to...

xJocelynx87

I have actually started training for a 5k. I started before awhile ago, got about halfway through, and stopped for no reason. I was really disappointed that I didn't stick with it, and the other day my friend asked me to be on his team for a breast cancer 5k in early October...so I felt like that wa...

xJocelynx87

I know the first 21 days are the hardest...and knowing that it will get easier is comforting.

xJocelynx87

Ok...I think I've decided on a 30 minute run each N-Day, followed by strength training one body part --- that's about 45 minutes total. This really is not difficult for me, and even though I do have some busy days, I have a treadmill in my house so there's never an excuse not to do it since I spend ...

xJocelynx87

I'm 5'8 160...I don't think I've ever weighed less than 150 as an adult, except for when I was anorexic and weighed 118. That took only eating 500 calories a day and daily 3 hour workouts, so it definitely is not natural for me to be small. All those bad habits are gone, though...but I do go through...

xJocelynx87

Thanks for all the replies. Before I fell off the wagon so to speak, I was doing an hour-long run 3x/week, and a solid full body weight routine once per week at home. That limited my gym days to 3...which was really convenient because I could pick any 3 days depending on what else I had going on tha...

xJocelynx87

I've been on and off No-S lately, but I am doing better than I was. A few months back, I lost around 13lbs with No-S AND about 4 hours at the gym weekly, plus alot of walking around my college campus. So I was wondering, anyone that is at or near their ideal weight, what are your exercise habits lik...

xJocelynx87

Thanks for all the responses, everyone! I will most likely stick to my english muffin with peanut butter most of the time since it's more filling and I love it, but I won't think much of it if I want to have butter, cinnamon, and sugar once or twice a week. Thanks again!

xJocelynx87

Well i actually just discovered it....had never thought of doing it before, but read the suggestion somewhere and decided to try it. It was good! My only concern is that the sugar will send me on a rollercoaster, and the lack of protein will leave me hungry. Never have those problems with peanut but...

xJocelynx87

I just wanted to get a consensus on the following.... I love english muffins....alot. Most of the time I eat them with peanut butter, but sometimes I love a piping hot toasted english muffin spread with a little bit of butter and sprinkled with a little cinnamon and sugar.
