Success for Wednesday and Thursday

Planning a rasberry magnum for the weekend.....

nettee

aww, thanks guys - lovely to have the support :D Success I have become less scared of smaller meals - I think the theory that you body can be trained to expect food at certain times is spot on. I used to think that I needed to eat something at 4 pm to keep me going but I was just used to getting som...

nettee

Success back in the swing of it. Not tempted in mini tescos on the way home from work, No biscuits at work, 3 meals, done. I have got my No S mug all the way from America! I think it was made in the Czech Republic so it has been across the Atlantic twice. No idea about exercise today, still missing...

It sounds to me as though you are addicted to sugar. It might be more general than that but what about committing yourself to no added sugar at all for two whole weeks and see what happens? I know it is not a No S thing to give it up completely but if you are trying to break the cycle then S days wi...

nettee

I had had a varied S weekend. Lots of things I wasn't tempted by that I usually would have been. (chocolate at the petrol station, biscuits and chocolates at 11am with tea, pudding in the pub). I had a slice of cake yesterday afternoon which was fine but this evening I went a bit mad on some custard...

nettee

Could you buy a single portion of ice cream from a newsagent for your S?

nettee

Hi CDee, sounds like you are doing well. There are bound to be some red days but get back on the case on the next N day and it will get easier. That is one of the things I am loving about No S - it is getting easier as I go on rather than harder. re the low carb thing. There is only so much you can ...

nettee

thank you Success for yesterday I did have an indian takeaway and perhaps pushed the no seconds rule slightly but had I not been on No S I would have just gone ahead with a whole other plateful whereas this was just putting the naan on top - I suppose using my eyes to see that it was quite a big por...

nettee

Well done, sounds good. Are you feeling healthier after all those good things?

nettee

Success This feels like a successful diet partly because I have not done it before and fallen off the wagon. When I go back to an old diet it feels hopeless as I know I have been there, done that and regained the weight. In my mind a success is when someone has mostly stuck with a plan for 2 years....

Wednesday Success

today, so far so good. Even resisted a scone under peer pressure.

Success

Monday - Success and 6 min shovel glove

Tuesday - so far so good. No shovel glove though.

I have enjoyed some big meals including a roast last night. new sort of sandwich for lunch. all good.

nettee

Just the ice cream today until just now (10pm

) when I have had a snack of cheese and a cracker. Not a bad S day.

5 N days ahead......

nettee

well done on your successes yesterday. hope you are enjoying an S weekend

nettee

I did 5 minutes with a skillet yesterday. Was probably better for my back and I got some music going. I think I will play around with it and build up to the 14 minutes before I start a habitcat. Yesterday was also a Success for No S. I was thinking that, unlike slimming world where I have always nee...

nettee

Thanks Glada. I live on a farm so have found a well used and rusty sledge hammer in the barn. Very authentic! I weighed it and it is 11.5 lb. I did 4 minutes this morning as it was my first attempt and I didn't get up early enough. I did 10 on each side of the basic moves a few times each. My back d...

nettee

Success Feeling quite full after a probably too big supper - all fitted on the plate though! I have been reading up on Shovelglove and am giving it some consideration... I think I should up my step goal as I think my fit bit is a bit generous and I reach 10,000 steps every day with out really trying.

nettee

Success No S and steps no problem. I weighed myself this morning and was up at my starting weight. Need to ignore and stick to my monthly weigh in as it was just Christmas after all and it was early in the week and a tricky time in the month I think. Hard to see that though and keep going.... Easy ...

nettee

Success

I think I am getting used to no S now. There was temptation in my way but I was fine. Fitbit was out of batteries so I don't know about steps but don't feel I have done less than usual.

nettee

I have a small packet of crisps with lunch on an N day quite often. They are morish so just buying one is a good idea. Well done sticking to 2. We have multipacks of penguin bars for children's packed lunches and I have surprised myself by not eating them on N days nor eating all of them on S days. ...

nettee

Happy New Year Rawcookie - yes a very no S specific problem

.

Sunday went well with three S events - and much tastier ones too!

First 5 day N week in a while starts today. If I make it through this week then can I claim my 21 days given all the NWS days I have taken over Christmad do you think?

nettee

I am pleased with Saturday. Only one S event at tea with the neighbours when they offered cake. On the downside it wasn't my favourite so perhaps a missed opportunity to treat myself but polite anyway. Out to lunch today so probably pudding to be had then.

nettee

My New Years Eve plan went well. In fact I avoided the puddings and had one small hog roast roll at the party. I took a relaxed S day yesterday and we put on a three course meal. Two WS days now. I will go for the up to 5 S approach again. Happy New Year all - here's to a healthy and moderate 2016.

Straight forward day. Tomorrow might be more challenging knowing that I am having an S evening. I think I will have my three meals before the party and no Ss till I get there.

Success

Hooray - fell back into it quite easily today. I got a fit bit for Christmas and am also tracking 10,000 steps per day. Two successes to report for that too.

nettee

Nearly at the end of 4 S days in row. I was quite ill on Christmas day sadly so didn't eat that much then but made up for it on Christmas Eve and Boxing day. today has been a bit better. Quite looking forward to getting back on the case tomorrow with an N day to see if I still can. It seems ages ago...

nettee

Today is a calendar month from my first N day and time for an official weigh in. My first weigh in was a few days into the system at 11st 0.5 lb. Today I am weighing 10st 11.75 lb so 2 3/4 lb off so far. Not spectacular but going in the right direction.

nettee

SUCCESS

Last day at work before Christmas! Straight forward N day. Supper was a little late and I was ready for it but waited without too much temptation.

Go again tomorrow

nettee

SUCCESS

Mostly a straight forward N day. Tempted by my daughter's ice cream but resisted (apart from a lick which I am not counting

)

Pass/ fail is tricky. If I had counted my luck of ice cream as a fail then I would have had more so I think I did the right thing......

nettee

3-4 Ss today. The 4th was one piece of sweet pepper from a salad so hardly worth counting

3 N days ahead before I start Christmas a day early.

nettee

Thanks Linda

A 4 S day today. Shouldn't have bothered with no 4 but all round not too bad.

nettee

SUCCESS

Back on the case

. Today went very smoothly. Back to S days tomorrow but do I deserve them? This diet is more complicated than it looks.

nettee

Oh dear another FAILURE Not so bad yesterday - just seconds/snacking related to a late supper. Both days it has been started by me being offered something for free. Need to learn to say no thank you :) Out Christmas shopping today, then a carol service with mince pies and a cinema trip to Star Wars....

nettee

Thanks guys. I hope you are right. Supper last night was not as good as I have got used to now as I just wasn't hungry. It is a habit worth sticking to.

nettee

Failure

Big style with an apple pie in McDonald's. Kept on snacking after as well. This is another down side of pass/ fail once you lose it there is less motivation to get back on the wagon that day.

Oh well - a better day tomorrow???

nettee

SUCCESS today

This is day 17 straight now. I was out for a Christmas meal. Another small starter to confess but again it would have gone on my main plate.

nettee

Good luck - you sound determined. A great time to start as well - shows you mean business

nettee

Back to N days and got through today fine. SUCCESS I did have supper before dh got home but he was late and I was hungry. :) I do agree that 'hunger is the best sauce' and I am really enjoying my meals. Also being properly hungry makes me want to eat healthy food like salad or veg more that if I hav...

nettee

5 Ss today. A slow start followed by a crescendo of temptation. Also a fair amount of wine this evening.

All round I am very pleased with this weekend and my 5 S mod.

5 more N days and I can join the 21 club

Oh, thanks for that deep belly laugh!

Don't think I would remember where I had got to if I was on 14 out of 32

On 1 S so far today

nettee

Thanks guys :) Great idea about the weekly average weight. I am really pleased with my S day with up to 5 S events. I had 4 really carefully chosen snacks/sweets which I sat down to eat properly and really enjoyed. One in reserve as well. There were other times when I might have had more but I didn'...

nettee

Saturday morning weigh in - about 1lb down from last week - feeling pleased. This is around a 2-3 lb loss in the first three weeks of No S. :D I have become a daily weigher though which was not my plan. My official monthly weigh in will be sometime next week. Saturday morning so I have lots of time ...

nettee

SUCCESS This is my first three weeks done. It is defiantly getting easier. I had quite a long, tiring and stressful day but have not snacked. Plan for the next 2 S days.... Maybe up to 5 s events per day? I think there will be the offer of mince pies again this weekend. We will see how it goes.

nettee

Success - one day away from my first three weeks of no S

nettee

SUCCESS for yesterday

I had a plate full of take away pizza at a work event last night. This morning I am over a pound down on yesterday morning - got to love No S!

nettee

SUCCESS

No issues today - salad, cheese and cold meat and crisps for lunch. Roast for dinner. The left over roast was tempting but I resisted.

nettee

• Mods: None so far - considering the Friday to Sunday evening thing that lots of people do, would definitely think about S events instead of NWS days and considering a limitation to my S days but still a newbie so sticking to vanilla for now • Intelligent Dietary Defaults: wheetabix, fruit and a pr...

nettee

Wow, sounds like you have had a great week. Moderate S days with planned treats sounds so doable but are infact so hard! Well done

nettee

Yesterday was a SUCCESS . I will confess that I seem to have slipped back into my old habit of daily weighing. I gained about 3 lb over the weekend and then lost 1Lb yesterday. I know this is why I should not do it but it is so hard to resist! It was a slightly stretched N day as I had a small start...

nettee

Hmmm - two s days and plenty of snacks and sweets. We had our work Christmas party and I drank a lot. Mince pies and biscuits at various events. Polishing off the children's suppers. Even snacking on celery because I could. It could have been worse. Going for an N day tommorow and the next 4 days af...

nettee

Thanks

day 12 - Success!!!

Hooray - my first full week. I turned down a mince pie today and drank tea in a cafe while the children had crisps and sandwiches. A nice lamb chop sandwich and some cheese and crackers for supper.

Now for a busy weekend of S days

SUCCESS Day 11 Having said that I did have some tiny nibbles this afternoon but really it was absentminded rather than giving into temptation and they were very tiny indeed so I have let it go. Supper was not very nice this evening which is very disappointing when it is one of 3 meals a day. Lots o...

nettee

SUCCESS day 10 :D only 9 days to go until I reach the end of the first 15 N days which is the first no S target. Would be good to have 3 green and orange weeks on my chart though so I will need to do another week at least until I achieve that. Today was not that much of a struggle which is nice. I ...

Success 1st December - Christmas is approaching! Hopefully will be ok with well defined s days. I had a hard afternoon as dh was working late and I was hungry and headachy. I ate before he got home in the end and also had a spoon more when serving his supper but as I had less than half the portion ...

nettee

Day 8 Success Hooray, a good start to week 2. Headaches and hunger again in the afternoon but nothing that a cup of tea didn't take care of. I had eggs for breakfast instead of my whey protein drink (plus fruit and carbs both weeks). I think they were more filling so probably worth the extra hassle....

nettee

Sunday went ok. I had around 3 mini flapjacks, some cheese and crackers and the odd grape etc as snacks. N day today - back to it!

nettee

One portion of gateau and quite a lot of late night cheese and crackers.

Quite pleased that I didn't go more crazy.

nettee

S day today.

So far I have had pain au chocolate for breakfast and some crisps as a snack. I had quite a big lunch so haven't been hungry. It is quite a heavy drinking evening as well and there are plans for cheese and gateau later. But it is an S day so no problem

nettee

Yes, it did help. Not sure whether or not to count today as a success. The Thai meal was in two courses and lots of dishes for sharing. I probably did have more than a plate's worth and felt fairly stuffed afterwards. So a fail I suppose for seconds but no sweets or snacks. Don't want a Fred mark on...

nettee

Thanks Osoniye Another success day 4 I went out in the early evening tonight and didn't have supper till just after 9. There were nibbles available. I was tempted by the cheese but then I thought that I would have some over the weekend (going away with my friends and there has been talk of cheese). ...

nettee

woo hoo! day 3 Success! I was fine not eating the mince pies and the cake - other people were not eating them as well (I am a one for peer pressure!) I did get very hungry mid morning today. I wonder if that was because I had toast instead of wheetabix for breakfast. I still had my protein shake to ...

nettee

Hope you are enjoying your Birthday ice cream

good to read about all the ups and downs in your diary, great that you are doing so well

nettee

I am going to have more temptation tomorrow as I am going to a school event with mince pies and then to a cake shop/cafe. I can just drink tea for both and that is what I am planning.

I will report back tomorrow evening.

nettee

Hello, and thank you for your encouragement. I am still feeling keen and so I got through today absolutely fine. Usually I would be up and down to the cupboard snacking through the day when I work at home but instead I had a big breakfast, Had a big plate of things I fancied for lunch at about 1 and...

nettee

Woo hoo! Day 1 - success I have coloured my green square and am feeling positive. I have a bit of a sugar withdrawal headache. I have been a bit hungry at times and tempted at other times but I got through the day fine. Tomorrow will be harder as I Am working from home but still in the honeymoon pha...

nettee

Day one nearly complete! I had an early dinner at about 6 as I was very hungry and it fitted in well. Being hungry motivated me to have some salad with my pasta which I may not have done last week. I am not hungry now but the children's leftovers are calling me a bit. Will come back at bedtime to ma...

nettee

Hello all I am very excited to be starting no s officially tomorrow. I have been approximating over he weekend but of course these were S days so I have had some snacks and sweets but been much more aware of when I was having them and thinking about not having them next week. I am nervous about the ...
