Everyday Systems

Today's an S day. I am recommitted to No S this week!! I lost nearly 30 pounds in 5 months with No S & regular exercise, then fell off the wagon in October and have gained 24 pounds back😟 I know this system works!! I will be posting a regular check-in for accountability.

Welcome back! Sounds like an impressive weight loss. And hey, still -6 from starting.

Success today! Stuck to 3 meals & did 30 min walk/jog.

Thanks eschano! If I lost weight last time, I will lose it again!! Today-day #2, was a success!! Feeling a little under the weather but still went out for a 30 min walk & stuck to my plan. My only mod is a small snack in the afternoon if needed.

Success! Had another great day of following habits. Also did 30 min walk/jog today. Good to be back on track!

Success again! Has a good day. Need to eat a few more fruits & veggies tomorrow though.

It is a pleasure to read about your successes! I too am on the "more veggie" ride

Glad to see you back. You are off to a great re-start.

SUCCESS! Made it through the week! We'll see how my first S day goes tomorrow. Have a great weekend everyone!

Success all week😊

Good for you!!

I am new here. I read your thread and I am looking forward to plugging alongside. Is walking all you did before to lose? Exercise is evil to me....just kidding. I am doing a little DDP Yoga. I want to do the bare minimum, that yields success of course. You know, the best bang for your buck kind of thing. I would love to hear what has worked for you.

Well done for a green week!

Hi Lovedby2! For me, I lose way faster when I exercise regularly. The weeks I would do 30-60 min, 5-6 days per week I would lose about 2 pounds per week. I chose walking 3-4 days per week. BUT I walk up a huge hill and wear a heart rate monitor and keep my HR between 65-85% of max. I can't get my heart working hard enough by walking on flat ground. 2 days per week I was doing a Leslie Sansone video that involves indoor walking and strength exercises.
The weeks I didn't get much activity I would lose about 1/2 pound. Everyone is different. I have a goal of becoming fit by strengthening my heart as well as losing weight, so I really need to exercise to accomplish this. I've seen people lose weight without exercising, it just depends on your personal goals.
The nice thing about No S is that it doesn't require all the mental energy that diets do, so you have more time to focus on exercise. It works for me and I love it!

Thanks everyone for the support. I really appreciate it!! 2 green weeks under my belt and had pretty good S days this weekend too. Monday's are a little difficult for me because I tend to crave sweets and am tempted to extend my weekend until Tues. But, I know I can do this and will continue to check in for accountability. Thanks!!

Wow, you're off to a great start, well done.

Yeah, Mondays can be difficult but you can do it!
