Hello :) I would honestly just stick to no s. from what you've said if you go on a diet to Try and lose those 10 lbs you are likely to go back into your binge cycle. You may not lose the 10lbs in the time the doctor wants but even if it means you going on medication for a little while that has got T...

Thank you tessy :) I had a great day yesterday! Didnt snack inbetween meals. I had my normal breakfast (boiled eggs and toast) then I met with friends and had a pub dinner, pulled pork burger and chips, I then enjoyed a brownie with ice cream which was delicious! I then wasn't hungry for another mea...

clarebear

Welcome everyone!
Good luck

clarebear

it's ok, I knew what you meant Linda! your structure idea sounds like a good one, probably similar to what I am going to do Good luck for this weekend! I'm having a pub dinner tomorrow and have decided on what I'm having already haha, I can taste the pudding already (sweet waffle with ice cream and ...

clarebear

Welcome Grace! You can do it, good luck!!
Just think of how you'll feel after a month in the green! I've just done august and it feels fab!

clarebear

Hello Weagl860

Yes just post your success here, you can edit your original post each day (click edit on top right of your post) so everything is on one post

I've only been doing No S for a month but yes I believe on special occasions - such as an anniversary you can class this as an S day

clarebear

I know we're not quite there yet but getting this one ready for Sunday! Having the august challenge helped me a lot so want to carry it on! I have had all green days for august so here's to all greens for September! Good luck everyone!! :) 1st S Day 2nd success :) and gym 3rd success and swimming 4t...

clarebear

nearly saturday woohoo!
pub dinner and a pudding tomorrow

clarebear

I know what you mean, I felt yucky on Monday cos I had eaten to bursting on Sunday.

I could do with some structure too. I think i was so full from my tea because of snacking, so I think I may stick to 3 meals but include a dessert or something sweet straight after my meal if I fancy it

clarebear

glad you're feeling more positive now Tessy
Keep going, you can do this

clarebear

haha its so annoying!! Yesterday went ok apart from getting a snack head on, didn't give in though! I found myself checking calories for the first time yesterday on my dinner that i was buying from tesco, it was a tuna and pasta salad. (they use mayo which bumps up the calories) It was such a good f...

clarebear

Thanks Linda

I'm struggling with wanting to snack with boredom today! at least now i can recognise it as that rather than convincing myself that I'm hungry!

clarebear

They say it takes 21 days to form a habit, now I've been at this just over 21 days I can confirm that :-D I don't even really think about it now. I was thinking on my way home from work at 5.30 last night - I haven't eaten since 12pm but it's fine, I'm ready for my tea! Beforehand I would have eaten...

clarebear

Hahaha this made me laugh, I did exactly the same!
Waaaa so glad it's Monday!

clarebear

Felt a bit crap when I woke up this morning, I ate too much tea last night (even though it was one plate) I ate until I was bursting. Feel bloated this morning . . . But . . . Then I remembered I'm In the 21 day club so that cheered me up a lot!! Just going to think forward now and learn from my eat...

clarebear

I'm in the 21 day club woohoo!!

clarebear

Thanks Linda!

It's an s day woohoo! Caramel latte and a piece of cake (type yet to be decided)
Here I come!

clarebear

The only advice I can give is that the feeling of bingeing on the sweet stuff is way worse than resisting it. - although at the time of eating it, it doesn't feel like that! I've got a major sweet tooth but I have been doing No S now for nearly 21 days and my cravings have reduced a lot. I know crav...

clarebear

Thanks Tessy

yesterday was good, did metafit training in the gym after a 10km bike ride!
Only today to go then it's S days!

I am going to face a challenge on Monday as it is bank holiday so it will feel like weekend as I won't be at work!

clarebear

Thank you!

I am looking forward to posting in the 21 Day club section on Sunday night!

clarebear

Yesterday went well, had a macdonalds for my tea, the new Mediterranean chicken burger and chips (fries) was delicious! but probably won't have it for my tea again as I was hungry again by 7.30pm! Normally I would have snacked but that can't happen anymore, so I had a glass of milk and that was that...

clarebear

Welcome and Good luck

clarebear

I've also decided that I am not going to weigh myself, was going to weigh in at end of august after 3 and half weeks with No s. I have decided that like so many people I am going to focus on the habits and not the number on the scale. I may weigh myself in several months time but that will be more f...

clarebear

Thanks guys

Better day yesterday! My husband to be was eating M&Ms and I didn't have any

and it's wednesday today - nearly an S day again woohoo

clarebear

yesterday was a good day, we had a spare GU cheesecake from the weekend and I reeeaallly wanted it after my tea but didn't

6 more days til 21 day club!!

clarebear

Thank you both!

clarebear

Yesterday's s day was a little more wild than Saturday but I feel ok about it!
I'm glad to be back on N days

clarebear

My s day yesterday was much better than last weekend, I stuck to my 3 meals but had a treat with dinner- I am from the uk and call luch dinner :) (rocky road) And had a caramel latte at Starbucks. I had planned on having a proper dessert after tea but my taste for it just wasn't there, a very very w...

clarebear

I have set myself the goal of losing 20lbs in time for my wedding on 2nd May 2014. I have been doing No S for nearly 14 days now and I have been completely set free. I feel so happy!! The best thing about it is that the more days that have passed the more I have accepted that even if I didn't lose t...

clarebear

Keep going Tessy!! Just think, the difficulty you are feeling sometimes at the moment is nothing compared to how you'll feel if you give up. (which I know you won't as you are doing so well) This is it now, a way to change your life and eating habits for good, just get through the next few weeks and...

clarebear

Thanks Tessy!

Had my tea last night then my friend offered me a cornetto, normally if on a diet I'd say no then think about it for ages after! Last night I said no and didn't think about it once, knowing that if I wanted a treat it was only 1 more day to wait!

I LOVE NO S

clarebear

Loved this post!
you have lost the amount of weight I want to lose in the time I want to lose it!
Your story is going to make me keep going when the numbers might not budge straight away!

Thank you for posting this!

clarebear

feeling good again today, more energy in a morning! Watched the men who made us thin this morning, so interesting. The diet industry has got people who want a quick fix to losing weight right where they want them! I actually said the phrase 'hunger is not an emergency' yesterday! It was nearly tea t...

clarebear

I feel like I have been brainwashed into grazing and snacking and that it is the right thing to do, I've even ignored older relatives when they have told me I need to eat 3 square meals a day!! Finding this 2 weeks ago is like a revelation, which feel silly as it was 'the norm' a few decades ago and...

clarebear

I'm scared too :-S
I don't want to build myself up too much for not losing as much as I think I will. I certainly feel a whole lot different so that in itself is enough at the moment!

clarebear

Yesterday was a success!
looking forward to weighing in at the end of the month!

clarebear

This is true

clarebear

I had my first S days this weekend, I let myself eat whatever this weekend to use it as a gauge to how I would feel after having a brilliant week of successful N days. I felt like I was eating treats and snacking just because I could and not because I actually wanted them - I think a lot of it is be...

clarebear

First S weekend was good!
Ate more than I thought I would but just enjoyed it as was my first one
Looked forward to getting back onto N days this morning though

clarebear

First S day is going well!
Had a normal breakfast, bought a flapjack to snack on earlier and I ate half and put rest away for later!
Seems that after just a week on no s I'm picking up good habits

clarebear

Brownie Sundae sounds like a goooood idea!

clarebear

haha! Yeah I'm making sure I have a plate full at meal times, breakfast is hard at the minute- I'm normally starving in the mornings but this week I have woken up with not much of an appetite but I'm pushing through! Well, it's Friday and I have had such a good week! Looking forward to my S day tomo...

clarebear

Resisting a flapjack is a true test!!
Well done

Looking forward to my first S day! I have been thinking about having a chocolate muffin for some reason, not sure why as it's something I don't really eat normally

Keep going Tessy!

clarebear

hahaha that is the kind of dream I would have, what a brilliant feeling though when you wake up!
Keep going!!!

clarebear

Day 3 was slightly easier than 1 and 2, didn't get as harsh 'hunger' pangs. I know it will take weeks maybe even months for my body to adjust after years of yo yoing but in the grand scheme of things that is life it's not a big amount of time at all to become healthy! Very very HAPPY I came across t...

clarebear

This is a good idea!

clarebear

My wedding is just the beginning, it's 9 months away so this gives me some time to get into the no snacking habit, I intend to carry it on for life!

clarebear

Just enjoyed a nandos chicken pitta with mash and coleslaw! It was SO good!
Having to remind myself that I don't need to eat so fast!-which is hard as I do it without realising!

thanks for all the positive comments!

clarebear

Thanks

I am very hungry at the minute, 90 mins til dinner break! I think it's just because I am so used to snacking in between, it's going to take me 21 days to get out the habit!
Just got to stick with it as the benefits are going to pay off!!

clarebear

Thank you both!

clarebear

Thank you

Well, it's day 2!
I had a very grumpy hour between 4.30 and 5.30pm yesterday where I was so hungry! but think this was my brain tricking me! I had a glass of milk then went in the gym!
Hoping day 2 is a little easier

clarebear

That's amazing!
Yes of course it counts

I'm only going to weigh myself once a month or so as I don't want to get too hung up on the scales, but will still post updates of how I'm doing and feeling

I want to be accountable somewhere!

clarebear

9 months to go until I get married!
Wondered if anyone else was using nos for their wedding?

Would be good for a few of us to keep track together!

clarebear

Doing this so I am accountable! This is my first day, so far so good :) I am excited for a few weeks time when I can see the difference in myself, although I think I will feel the difference in a couple of days! Feel like I've been set free from the diet trap! woohoo! :lol: Day 2 was a success ! I'v...

clarebear

Thanks Oolala53
I am excited to have started a lifestyle change rather than a diet!
It has come in time for my wedding but as you say it is sustainable for life including when I start a family

clarebear

I want to join in if that's ok (even though it's 5 days into august)! only joined the site today. Although the day isn't over yet I have got to nearly 3 pm without snacking which is the hardest part of the day for me! I really enjoyed my breakfast and lunch and i'm hoping the worst bit is over! Will...

clarebear

it's youuuuu!!
only realised half way through haha

clarebear

Thank you!

I am looking forward to the change and the results!

clarebear

Hello I have started no s today and I am feeling very positive about it! I found it by accident after my friend had said she had lost 3lbs last week by cutting out snacks. I have to say, I feel like a weight has been lifted from me! I have spent a lot of time reading through the forum and people's s...
