Hi Ruff, It's really inspiring that you managed to mostly stay on No-S in the midst of this storm of things happening. Very sorry to hear about your dad. Starting to run is one of the healthiest responses I've ever heard of. Most people just go back to their old ways when faced with such exceptional...

Success I really want to get into the 21 days club. Ambition is a funny thing. I'm taking it slower than my first 21 days which means that I make bigger portions and allow myself everything within the rules rather than restricting vanilla no-S further. I'm quite excited about this new start which i...

Hi Rachel, So I'm still new and therefore all about strictness. I remember reading on the No-S page that Snacks are not what but when you eat so I think it's a snack. However, if it's just not feasible for you to eat at lunchtime then maybe you can decide to make it a mod and stick to it. I guess I'...

Happy Failures
Hi, I thought about what threw me off my diet-path in other diets and, like many other No-Sers have noticed for themselves in this forum, it comes down to perfectionism. This is the first diet where I can indeed go from failure to failure without loss of enthusiam (a tweaked quote from Churchill). W...

It's final...
