I did manage to lose almost 10 lbs. I followed a different diet for a bit. At the same time, I was actually following No-S in that I only ate 3 meals a day and by the end of the week I would allow myself a bit more freedom on the weekends. I am having trouble sticking to some of the requirements though, and since I was basically following No-S, I thought this might be a way to avoid giving up completely. The No-S program makes so much sense, and it is inspiring to come back and see so many people who have been here for years and still experiencing success with it. Also, I did discover a few things during this last diet that may help me be more successful at sticking with a less strict (when it comes to meal planning), more vanilla version of No-S.
I haven't decided how I am going to set up this check-in yet - whether it will be daily or sporadic, whether I will post my meals or just whether it was a red or green day. Knowing me, I will probably do all of the above at least once. lol.
And just a note: I am very inspired by reading others check-ins, but I have found that I am incredibly awkward when it comes to online chit-chat and I am lost as to any sort of etiquette involved. But, I want to let everyone know that I appreciate every comment and every view, and I also appreciate others' efforts to write about their own successes and struggles in their own check-ins. I just don't always do a good job of showing it.
Thanks for reading.
