I'm transitioning from WeightWatchers to the more "sane" N S Diet. I want to get back to the basic eating habits outlined in the plan.
I started Tuesday and had success. I was also successful yesterday.
Currently I'm feeling good about staying on plan, however I'm laid up with some back pain today, so it will be the first diversion from normal. We'll see how it goes. I've eaten a solid breakfast of eggs, fresh tomatoes, toast and a banana. My lunch is already prepared. Just taking one hour at a time.
Best wishes to all today!

this is the toughest for me, too. Being home, where snacks are readily available. AND more potential for boredom. But you did it, and you can do it again.moonbat69 wrote:Good morning. I had another "green" day yesterday which was great considering I was at home instead of in the office. There are many more temptations to snack at home for me and I was able to push through them. Big victory for day 3!
This coming weekend will be my first set of S days.
Best wishes.
Have some good S time this weekend.
My first two S days went fine. I was able to relax and enjoy occasional seconds, snacks and sweets without feeling guilty about it. One of the things that I've noticed is that allowing the occasional S on the S days really emphasizes how much I really have been snacking, having seconds, and eating sweets over the years. I feel like the focus is shifting to improving those habits that have caused me the problems. Also, lawn mowing and a Sunday afternoon shopping trip with my wife gave me close to 15000 steps.
Back to No S day. I'm feeling good.

Great job on all the "discoveries"! It's very freeing and enlightening when following NoS gives you such valuable feedback and insights into your individual relationship with food. I've found it so empowering! And way to go with the 15,000 steps!

I'm doing a basic, no-mod trial of NoS for three weeks while I transition from Weight Watchers. I started a week ago at 283.4 and despite a minor failure with snacking last night, I weighed in at 279.2. A loss of 4.2 pounds!
I realize that I won't experience this type of weight loss each week, but if I continue to feel good about it and see some results on the scale, in my clothes, and/or my relationship with food, I'm going to say good bye to Weight Watchers forever.
Feeling pleased. Thank you, Reinhard for your efforts and your inspiration. I really feel like I'm on to something.

Congrats on your success!
I have such mixed feelings about Weight Watcher's. I lost 60 pounds on it many years ago by eating healthy, regular meals. But once I was near to goal
I got weary of obsessively counting points and freaking out over every little dessert. It took me a few years to gain half of it back and I've been yoyo-ing every since. It wasn't all bad. I got to be thin for a while, learn portion size as well as the value of journaling.
I haven't had much weight loss success in the short time I've been following NoS. A couple of pounds, maybe. I often think about combining NoS with counting points. Right now, I'm more concerned with finding some sanity around food so I'm trying to put those thoughts aside.

Another success yesterday.
As I do this, I begin to notice things about my snacking habit. The longer I stay up in the evening, the more I feel the need to fill the time with food. Last night, I told myself to go to bed, otherwise I'd just want to snack more.
Happy Friday!

Ha me too! Three or four years ago when I first starting trying to lose weight I remember one night when I had logged all my food and was out of calories for the day, got "hangry," snapped my husband's head off with my sharp tongue and cried, "I'm hungry and I can't eat so I'm just going to BED!" LOL At least with No S I'm not hungry, just craving a snack. So I can go to bed without injuring anyone's feelings first!
Everything I need, I already have.
