Eschano: It was a Papa Murphy's take n bake family style. SO it was pretty darn big. I cut it into like 20 small slices. I could have fit quite a bit more on my plate.... but I also had salad on there. It was plenty filling.... sadly! It's amazing how much less food I REALLY need.

You hanging in there, Tessy?

tobiasmom

Is it that you're not hungry in the morning or you're not a fan of breakfast foods? Maybe do 10am, 2pm, and 6pm for meals? I WISH I could wait til 10:00! But my little one gets up at 6am...and I'm starving by 8:00

Spinning has got to be one of the most sweat-inducing workouts! I did it once and was drenched (and I don't really sweat much)!! Good job!

tobiasmom

Thanks, gals! That's my new motto: don't eat it unless it is absolutely delicious :). I will be weighing only once a week... Friday mornings. The number on the scale isn't what matters most at this time anyway. I'm making habits. ZippaDee: It's just regular car maintenance. Oil change and such.

Thinking of ya! I know life is tough right now in other areas. Having this ONE sane thing in life just MIGHT help

tobiasmom

Awesome job! Friday night are tough for me for that exact reason. But you're doing wonderful. You feeling ok?

tobiasmom

You're killing it! Awesome job!

tobiasmom

Doing great!! You're inspiring me!

tobiasmom

I really like what you said at the end. It is great perspective to realize that overeating is one of our biggest worries in life. We DO have it good!

tobiasmom

I did a bit better yesterday... but still not a green. Now for two hopefully sane S days and on to a much brighter week next week. ZippaDee: You are doing awesome! I am in this with you, though!!! I'm just a slow starter :) oolala53: You are such a wealth of knowledge. Thank YOU! I exactly get what ...

Another RED day. I've gotta do something about my afternoon slump during homeschooling! A cup of something maybe?? Maybe a nice tea would work. I'm doing good with the three meals. It is the afternoons and then my sweet tooth at night that's getting me. I think I just need to put a real "fence aroun...

Thank you so much for your encouragement. Seeing you here maintaining for so long is super impressive! Is your wedding soon? So happy for you! I will definitely see you around. I WILL be happily maintaining with you here some day......

There's a few of us here mostly in the SAME boat. Let's do this together! Keep each other accountable.... and celebrate! A year from now we should all be quite a bit better than today! I'm not sure what health problem you're suffering from, but I, too, suffer from a joint autoimmune disease. I total...

tobiasmom

So..... day 1 was NOT green. Ugh! I have NO excuses. I ate this afternoon during homeschooling. It's a bad habit I've created to get through the afternoon slump. I way overdid it. But the good news is that I ate one plate at dinner and didn't have anything this whole evening... even though I'd like ...

tobiasmom

I know it's been a few years..... but I think about you often. Your first year testimonial is what hooked me to NoS. I have been off and on NoS for years now.... but that's been me and my own diet head, not the plan. I hope you're doing well. And I hope some day you come back and tell us you're doin...

Well, I had a bit too much holiday fun.... and of course my weight is waaay up! I actually put on more than 10 pounds in record time. I'm sick of dieting. Seriously!

I had ONE green day last week! Yikes! I'm shooting for a much much better week this week! I'm bloated and overstuffed and just ready to commit fully to moderate eating!! NOW!!!

tobiasmom

Today was a fail, but I almost should have taken it as an S day. We spent the whole day at Disneyland. I had 3 meals... But I had a soda and my favorite English toffee! Note for next time: I definitely could have bought the toffee I love and saved it for an S day. Learning as I go! Onward. Tomorrow ...

Still struggling. Haven't made it though a green day yet. Really want to try for 21 days. I know if I get that many days under my belt the habit will continue. But for now....1 day is the goal!! Today is an S day. Shooting for 3 meals with one good treat. I am out of town with family for the holiday...

How are you doing with your three goals?

How was your weekend?

Still haven't really had a green day.... but I AM trying! Today I went back to the airport in the rain AGAIN.... and had some cookies when I got home. Going to try really hard to make it to dinnertime and just move on. I know this is the most sane way to get through the holidays. Gotta dig in mental...

tobiasmom

Thanks for your vulnerability! You can do this..... one step in front of the other. We all struggle... and hide our faults to the world. Isn't it nice to have a place out here on the web to tell it like it really is??? You have so much to live for.... your wife and kids! Fight for it, buddy ðŸ˜Š

tobiasmom

Made it home safe from the airport. Wowza! That was rough! I did finish out the day strong with a good dinner. This morning I had a nice veggie egg scramble and my coffee. Getting ready to head to the Monterey Aquarium. That should be a nice day of walking! A good flank steak with roasted cauliflowe...

Great to hear from you all. We ARE in this together. I did have sort of a false start myself last week because it was my 15-year wedding anniversary Thursday.

Two green.... go girl!! Fitbit sounds fun. I have been doing yoga cuz of my bad joints, but I do need to walk. I'm with ya today!!

tobiasmom

Me too, Girl! Today is day 1 for me.... again! I am committing to this 100% now.... no diet hopping for a year! I am sick of quitting. I am sick of diets I can't stick with in the long haul. I need No-S freedom!

So let's do this!!!

Hey, Tess! I, too, am back and trying to make it 21 days too ðŸ˜Š

So.... it has been a week, and I never got started. I stuck w my other plan out of fear (Trim Healthy Mama).... fear that I would lose control.

Hey, All! It's been a good six months or so since I've been on these boards. I've actually been following "another" plan. It's worked. I give it that. I'm down to my lowest in years, 188!

Hi there! You are doing wonderful! I, too, am nursing, but my "baby" is 18 months so I can't use THAT excuse anymore! Ha.

tobiasmom

Great to see you back! I have been on the boards for years. I haven't left.... but I haven't actually stuck to the plan for longer than a week or so at a time. I, too, am aiming for close to 40 pounds this year and then reevaluating.

Let's do this!!

tobiasmom

I am really getting back in the swing of things. My mind is finally letting go of other diets, and I am finally happy inside to lose slowly. That's always been my problem. In a hurry! The problem all these years has been ME and my constant yo-yo dieting. That has actually made this take waaaaaaaaaaa...

Looks yummy! I, too, experiment with more plant based eating. I kind of go through phases where I crave meat and then it is revolting again. Hahaha.

Thursday ended up a failure, but guess what? I thought it was Friday and had planned to do Friday and Saturday S days. Oops. So I will just mark it and move on and stick w Sat and Sun S days. See what changing around the rules gets ya sometimes?! Feeling good, though. My pants were looser yesterday :)

tobiasmom

Yesterday and today were green! Working it out little by little. Haven't been on the scale. That's probably a good thing for me.

tobiasmom

A green day today!! Been slowly working my way back here, and I'm feeling good. Cancelled my WW membership once and for all, stopped counting everything. I am photo journaling my three meals instead of writing down every little thing. Trying a new workout too that I can do at home since I'm not able...

tobiasmom

So I've been loosely sticking with it. I definitely would like better compliance, but I've been eating better and less and working out some. I feel like I'm headed in the right direction. I continue to look at "OTHER" diets and just keep thinking to myself that there's NO way I can or will stick wit...

I'm in your boat too, Ladies! I guess if no one responds WE need to be those success stories and do this together!
