Everyday Systems

Ive just found this brilliant forum,and ordered the book as slimming world didnt work for me only lost three pounds in a month and the food bill was costing a small fortune!! im starting this way of eating tomorow so i just wanted to introduce myself (im hoping to lose about a stone,but am not in a great hurry)

welcome! I joined ten days ago and this forum is wonderful!

Hi sugarjunkie...welcome to No-S!

Welcome! I hope you like it here!

Welcome!

Since you are new to NoS, I highly recommend you read the NoS Catchphrase glossary at the top of this forum. It is chockful of NoS wisdom, mantras, mottoes, and more to help keep one on track with NoS when diethead/life/stress interfere.

Once again, welcome!

Welcome to No-S and sanity!

Thanks for the welcomes and advice all im sure this will suit me,i ordered the book last night,but ive started it this morning.As my name suggests sugar is my biggest downfall This must be better than a trad diet.

Just a note: Everything you need to know to follow this is on the No-S Diet page. The book expands on that.

Welcome, this is the best diet there is. It doesn't cost a thing beyond your normal grocery bill.

I am new here too, about a week. Welcome to the forums!

It's not that it's not sacrifice but it's the most productive necessary suffering you'll ever endure. A poor man's diet if there ever was one. I mean, oatmeal as a default for lunch, for golly's sake. Cheap and simple.

I agree Oolala,These large diet companies are raking in the cash,and long term they dont work,its like a treadmill.This principle is so simple.I had a successful S day yesterday (i had alcohol as an S) .Loving this way of eating,ant this forum is excellent!!

Hi sugarjunkie, welcome, sounds like you're doing well so far! Someone said in another thread recently, it's the only diet where the diet is also the maintenance. (well, something like that) It's brilliant!

What you do to lose the weight is what you do to maintain the weight loss.

I agree Christine.Today has been my second S day,and ive managed just 3 meals and nothing else,marvelous really when i have been a habitual snacker for most of my life,im so excited about this

Yes, that's it, thanks! I sure did mangle that one, haha!

You may need to remind yourself of that last bit, as you go along: NoS has many virtues, but speed is not (usually) one of them!

On the other hand, what other approaches are usually fast at doing is bouncing your weight up and down like a yo-yo, so maybe speed isn't such a virtue after all.

Welcome aboard!

Thanks Dave, il bear that in mind

Hi,managed a 3rd N day,but when i added up the calories it came to approx 2,400 today.Im amazed that i havent wanted to snack at all,so really pleased with that,but got to look at the type of food im eating now i think

If you weren't stuffed for those meals, just give it some time.
