Counting carbs/calories is a drag. Obsessive scale stepping is a recipe for despair. If you want to count something, "days on habit" is a much better metric. Checking off days on a calendar would do just fine, but if you do it here you get accountability and support. Here's how. Start a new topic in this forum called (say) "Your Name Daily Check In." Then every N day post a "reply" to that topic as to whether you stayed on habit. A simple "<font color="green">SUCCESS</font>" or "<font color="red">FAILURE</font>" (or your preferred euphemism if that's too harsh) is sufficient, but obviously you're welcome to write more if you want. On S-days just register that you're taking an S-day. You don't have to do this forever, just until you're confident you've built the habit. Feel free to check in weekly or monthly or sporadically instead of daily. Feel free also to track other habits besides No-s (I'm keeping this forum under No-s because that's what the vast majority are using it for). See also my <a href="/habitcal/">HabitCal</a> tool for another more formal (and perhaps complementary) way to track habits.

Hey guys! I've been doing No S since June. I'm 5'5'' and went from 134-124. I switched things slightly by doing 2 S's per s day, and made 1 day Wednesday and 1 day Saturday. Things were working great...and then the past 2 weeks hit.

I've been turning to food a lot lately because my friends basically threw me out of the group. It's been REALLY hard on me. I'm in college and was wallowing without adding too much to my belly, but then midterms hit and I've been basically eating the world recently lol That, without working out, probably means I'm up to 130! (I'm too scared to check...)

Anyways, I'm ready to get back in. Done empowering bs and the past. I'm moving on and am ready to get to my goal weight of 115. I'm ready to pursue my dreams of becoming a film actress, but I really want to be at my goal weight as I get out there! I'm going to check in until I get back in the swing of things...

Plan of attack for food tomorrow
Breakfast: 1/2 bagel w/lox spread and banana
Lunch: apple and chicken salad and 1/2 bread
Dinner: chicken salad and 1/2 bread

I'd love any words of encouragement esp from those who have hit a rough patch in the past. How did you get through?

Thanks!!

P.S. I'm posting this on the general discussion board as well to field more ideas!
