Success!
After first week, thought i had binged too much on S days, but I still had a small loss for the week. Next week i will be more controlled for S days. Planning on one sweet and one snack only.

Success! If I'm hungry between meals, I have a sugar free cocoa or some Citrucel fiber drink.

Thanks Tricia!

I'm going to call yesterday a success since it was an S day and you can't really cheat on those... but I still felt like I ate more crud than is good. I started with a candy bar when I went shopping then had cookies for lunch (that was the plan) but then I ate ice cream after dinner and potato chips later while reading in bed.

Welcome, Wendy!

Congratulations on your string of successes.

You can't fail on S days. Planning a reward in advance is the best way to keep them from getting too excessive, but if a little extra creeps in, don't sweat it.

I've missed a couple days reporting but they were all successes. Then the kicker, I weighed for the week on Weds and showed a 1# gain. After all my hard work, that's frustrating. Now I'm questioning if this is going to work for me. Tho I do have to add that I only exercised one day last week, between morning appts and having a cold, I just didn't get it done.

Don't sweat it. One pound could easily be water weight, especially if you've been eating salty food. It could even be that you were wearing jeans instead of slacks. I know from my "listen to the demon-scale" days that jeans DO in fact weigh more than regular pants. Or it could be your shoes. Shoes have a huge variety of weights. If on the other hand you are weighing-in in your skivies then I would bet on the water weight. Drink more water and cut out processed foods with lots of salt (do as I say not as I do

)

LOL...
One time I weighed myself on a doctors scale completely naked and then I weighed myself with my woolen socks on, and those socks were a half pound... Then I added my tshirt to it and it was another half pound..

Don't put too much "weight" into your weigh-ins....

That pound will be gone in no time!
Peace and Love,

Deb

Thanks Deb and HG (?) You're both right. Actually my morning (stark nekkid) weight did show a slight loss but later that day at a support group i'm in, I was a pound up.

I'm afraid I did let it get to me tho and I started today with Krispy Kreme

. I can't even claim it was an impulse, because I have to drive 40 minutes to the nearest KK shop!! I will count this as an S day and do a NoS tomorrow instead.

You can't fail if you keep trying

Success! Sat and Sun both NoS days (since having my S day on Fri)

I found the no snack rule the hardest since I was used to at least 3 snacks a day. I had some headaches the 1st couple days, but now I've adjusted. I find a cup of tea really helps mid morning and afternoon.

Great attitude Wendy!
Just FYI.. We are all entitled to 2 S days per week!
Don't cheat yourself of that crucial steam valve or it seeps out somehow during the N days...

Have a good week!
Peace and Love,
Deb

Success

Yes I know there's 2 S days and believe me I use both of them. I have a weight loss support group I go to one Weds and so Weds after the meeting has been my traditional day for cutting loose and not dieting.

I wasn't ready to change that, so I use Weds and one weekend day (varies depending on what's planned) for my S days.

Does anyone see why this would be a problem? The only possibility is that maybe having both S days together, you overeat less then having them spaced out?

If it becomes a problem later (no progress) I guess I'll look at that decision again.
