Well I started 6 days ago and have just been finding my way round this site and a daily check in seems like a good idea.
I also got my HabitCal going. (Reinhard if you read this, at the start your instructions say hit Show but there is no Show, it's Load.)

I actually was a bit doubtful that this would work as I didn't think I ate many snacks or sweets or seconds, but boy was I wrong! First of all I am properly hungry when it's meal time (bit of a hint right there) and secondly I find myself often reaching for food while preparing meals and have to stop myself. It was a mouthful here and there ... also I used to have seconds quite a bit ... all adds up. And of course those times I was baking (we cook a lot from scratch here) lots went down the hatch. So this is really good news: lots of room for improvement!
The last diet I was on was also fairly simple, basically eat when you are hungry and stop when you are full, but I found I was never hungry ??? (oh yes I gained weight on that one!) I much prefer this, crystal clear rules with a break at weekends.
I was nervous about my first two S days but decided to just relax. I cooked two fried eggs on toast for lunch which I enjoyed but not as much as I thought I would, plus an extra glass of wine, some peanuts and a delicious dessert of strawberries (from our garden) and icecream.
In a way it was good to get back to an N day on Monday. Strange!
I have come down 1.3kg (nearly 3lbs) so that is a good start. I don't expect it every week though.

Great, my first week has been good. Still feel quite hungry between meals so am eating slightly more but I think I will get used to it.
In just under three weeks my husband and I are going on a road trip to South Island. Some self-catering but mostly eating out, so I am nervous about this, not quite sure how to handle it. Do I add in extra S days or what?
