Day 2 - SUCCESS
I have been eating 5-6 times per day for a few years now, a habit I learned from following the Body-for-Life/Eating-for-Life body building program. Eating only 3 times per day (no Snacks) is the most challenging part of No S for me so far. I am very hungry by dinner time. I did lose the most fat and became the most lean on this program but only stuck with it for about 8 months. My first goal is get to the lowest I did when on this program.
I have followed other diets before with little or no Sweets so that it is not too hard for me. I have not drunk soda for years. I have drunk some artificially sweetened drinks a few times a week. Missed those too the first couple of days.
I have to watch Seconds too. I admit that I often put more food on my plate after I have finished my first plate. My wife kept telling me I was doing this for years!

Day 9 - SUCCESS
Day 10 - S Day
Day 11 - S Day
Day 12 - FAILURE A little too much to eat and three and a half drinks at dinner last night.
I travel for work and dinners with colleagues are proving the most challenging for me. We often share at least some dishes. Not sure how to keep to No Seconds (one physical plate) in these scenarios.
Walking (something I have been doing for 18 months but I am now doing more) and Shovelglove are going great.

Pretty good run, Stuart! Glad shovelglove and urban ranger are going well, too.
As for plate sharing pressure, some suggestions:
1) feign lack of hunger as an excuse (hard, but perversely satisfying)
2) virtual plate (an advanced move, but this is a tricky situation)
3) fear not the doggy bag (works well in conjunction with the above)
