Hi everyone!
I've had No-S bookmarked for years.
Meanwhile, I've been on the diet rollercoaster that so many of us are familiar with. It's time to get off and say goodbye to that world forever. Think of the money saved in not buying new books and magazines for the diets on the front cover! Woo! I bought the No-S book a few weeks ago.
So, I'm starting No-S. Plain vanilla No-S. At some point, I may consider making fast food for S days only - it's my particular weakness - but I'm not starting there. The first big challenge for me will be after-dinner eating.
Like all good dieters, LOL, it's tempting to start on Monday but I'll start today, right in the middle of Friday. Two S days coming up should help me get through my first no-cookie evening!
Looking forward to getting to know you all!
Kim

Not a bad plan to start on Friday, though you'll see a real difference in how S days affect you after you've gone 5 days not eating sweets and getting hungry for all you meals. Oh, you are in for an adventure! Welcome.

Welcome, Kimbo! I have just started No S on 8/31/10, and I just love it so far! I have even dropped a couple of pounds already! This has been my first full week of No S, so we will see how my S days are. I will tell you that I feel great and look forward to many more weeks of feeling good with this way of life. I mean how many diets out there are really recommended as a lifelong habit?? Not many that I know of.
8/31/10 Start.
Starting weight: 134.5
Current weight: 132.5
~~ Goal: 115 ~~

Thanks very much for the welcomes!
Oolala, years ago I did Body for Life, and we had free day... so I've had a little experience with the S day concept (like No S, a lot of Body for Lifers started out going wild on free days, only to realize feeling terrible the next day wasn't really worth it). So we'll see how it goes. Not eating sugar or snacks during the week will indeed be an adventure!!
Machelle, great to hear you're loving it and seeing success already! You're right, most diets aren't sustainable at all. This is a breath of fresh air... simple, workable, livable.

I'll just say that I think that starting on Friday is already an enormous success! Great going with that! I'm a "Great idea! I'll start Monday . . . or the first of next month . . . or January 1st is just 4 months away!" kind of person.
Well Done!
