I decided to give No S a start on January 8th since that was my initial weigh-in for my job's "Biggest Winner" competition. I've never been much of a dieter but after having my second baby my (added) weight never really went away. So I went hunting around on the internet for a diet plan that didn't immediately scream bogus to me. No S struck me as something that might actually work and be sustainable. So here I am, ready to give it my best shot and to prove it I even threw out those yummy chocolate chip cookies in the pantry
My fail on the 9th was eating the rest of the chips on my plate long after lunch had ended.
I took the 14th as a success even though I didn't eat a thing all day (silly norovirus)
I'm taking today as an orange. I'm grazing on toast and crackers as I get over this stomach bug.
So far things seem pretty easy. I'm sure that will change once the novelty wears off.

Hmmmm....
I do not wish the flu on anyone but if it's helping you kickstart this thing, then use it. I hope you are hanging in there and taking it seriously. I've jsut started and DO NOT ant the novelty to wear off, EVER! I feel so good after a week of green days. Glad for the S-days though. Now I have 2 days to gear up for next week. Long way to go for me.

Hi HoeHanna that flu that's going around is no joke. But it did help a bit sticking with No S, since for a few days afterwards I had no real appetite to speak of and even coffee was unappealing.
My fail was on a Friday (which tend to be difficult days anyways). I did so well until I stopped by my parents to pick up my kids and they invited me over for dinner. I managed to keep to the no seconds rule but when my mom brought out the blueberry cobbler ... At least I only ate one small piece
I also decided to take Monday as an S day since I had it off of work (observance of Martin Luther King day). I overdid it a bit.
I had a close call yesterday when my hand magically found it's way inside a bag of chips. I caught myself, released the chips, closed the bag, and walked slowly out of my kitchen. Note to self, just before bed time, avoid the kitchen.

tough fridays
Fridays are tough for me as well. And there's no way on earth I could ahve stopped at one serving of blueberry cobbler, my fave. Failed misserably yesterday, was on the high end of a bi-polar day and became a bottomless eating machine, Maybe not as bad as before I started this but bad none-the-less. Back in control today. Feel good about my eating plans for the day. Looking forward to making good/healthy meals and will be busy tonight so should stay green. Magic chips are dangerous, I know.

Quick update since I had a fail
I ate a doughnut but I am determined to keep the rest of the day in check.
Overall happy with my progress and I'm down 4lbs since the start of Jan.

Hello Jane,
And welcome. The norovirus is tough, my wife got it. Poor thing. I got the influenza, short and quick, four days, I wish I could say I quit eating.
But, I have been successful for a week and a half now. I am already dropping pounds, and the "habit" is kicking in again.
This works, and it works well.
