Nettee's daily check in
Here I am on my first morning of No S take 3. I have started a rereading of the book. I have weighed in. I have put two S days in the habit cal for the beginning of October and I am ready to go.
Back tonight for my first success

I am starting no S again after a 4 month break and at my highest ever non pregnant weight of 12st 9 1/4 lb.
I have been very defeatist about everything but so pleased I am now doing something. I am looking forward to putting my rings back on and zipping up my coat with room to spare.
I do hope I can keep going beyond the two months this time - 2 previous attempts lasted just that long......
I would like to look nice at new year so 3 months to lose a stone or so.
Today went fine except for an absent minded grape which I am not holding against myself.

Thank you, Merry. I do hope so. Got though today without too much problem. Just quite hungry before supper - but it was all the better for it.
The book is making so much logical sense.

My Son had to bake tonight so I had a 5 min wobble and had a bit if mixture followed by a small amount of brownie this afternoon. It did not descend into a binge but I do have to count it as a failure but I won't colour it red.
Otherwise another good Day and mostly I am feeling pleased.

To me, days like this show the success of No-S, even if the day isn't a green day. I think it's a huge success to not just dig in and eat a bunch of junk and throw caution to the wind--it's good, long-term thinking to get back on track with the plan, and it's good self-control. Way to go!nettee wrote:My Son had to bake tonight so I had a 5 min wobble and had a bit if mixture followed by a small amount of brownie this afternoon.

Thanks Merry, you are right - so many times in the past I have thought the day is red so I 'might as well' eat everything in sight. Quite proud of not doing that yesterday
Costa tuna melt panini for breakfast - yummy and should keep me going, feeling a bit naughty though even though I don't need to!

First week results: 4.75 lb down in 5 days. Hooray!
This is where I need to step back from the scales though - fluid weight gone and the slower losses begin.
First S day today. I plan to go back to my maximum of 5 s events per day and still no sweets. Hope it is not too much restriction - we will see how it goes.

excellent! It's something I found to be true, too...I began feeling satisfied with smaller meals very soon. It looks like you're clicking right along! way to go.nettee wrote:Success for yesterday
There were some amazing looking brownies at work and I didn't touch them. Dinner seemed very filling - I think my stomach is shrinking! Of for a costa breakfast this morning.
Thank you Buns
Success for Friday and a good non excessive weekend. I did have a hot Chocolate yesterday which is not in my planning but hey hi it could have been worse. Back on the case for 5 N days this week.
Weight loss has been stalling as it does in week 2 but I weighed less this morning than last Monday and got to look to the positives.

Success on a Wednesday at last
I am now within half a lb of a half stone loss. Work today and Tomorrow so it should be straight forward enough to carry on to the weekend. Half term next week and a week off work so will be a bit harder but I intend to just keep going ...

Well done, nettee. Great you are seeing encouragement, and on cracking the Wednesday! I had a 'blip' this week which was frustrating, so it's a good reminder to read check-ins like yours to help me keep going!
I'm looking to lose about 12lbs...
31.09: 65.7kg/144.8lbs, BMI-25.7!
14.10: 64.9kg/143lbs, BMI - 25.4!

Leftovers for lunch yesterday which is always the best sort.
I now weigh 12st 1.5lb so have lost 7.75 lb or just over my first half stone. Three weeks in so I will reach the magic 21 days that Is in the book.
Great milestones but I realise that if I get too excited that is when things have gone wrong in the past. On holiday next week so just need to keep chipping away in a low key way.....

I am quite pleased that after a weekend of no discipline ( but no terrible excess) that I was back on plan today despite my holiday . I think I will need an S event supper tomorrow because a friend is coming for dinner and bringing pudding. If I can stick to three meals though with no snacks I will be very happy.

Hi nettee, you are doing great. Might I ask what type or model scale you're using? Our last two scales were only even 1 lb. increments. Thanks, Trace(Whosonfirst)
https://twitter.com/SipeEngineering
Current weight(9/2020)-212 lbs.
Goal Weight- 205 lbs.
NoS Goal: >= 80% Success days

Hi Trace
I am away at the moment but I will try to remember to look at the make when I get back. I have had it for years (probably 11 or 12 years) and it is from the UK, as am I. It is a digital scale. Perhaps the quarter pounds are a bit meaningless and where madness lies but I am very used to it and always weigh first thing in the morning so feel it is fairly standardised (unless I have eaten lots of pasta the night before etc).
A whole lb does seem like quite a big unit for weight loss. But it must be a good feeling when the scales move
I have had a quick look at Amazon and most of the digital scales do 0.2lb increments. I wonder if mine switch to 1/4 lb mode when measuring in stones?

Success today despite thinking about the profiteroles in my fridge. An S event last night when I went out for supper which was a birthday present. Did fine the rest of the day though and had cheese instead of sweet pudding.
The weekend starts tomorrow- I would loved to stick to no sweets but do worry for the profiteroles once it is not an N day.

Oh dear. A proper bingy S day yesterday - all sorts of chocolate and crisps all day so that I felt quite sick. Hopefully it is out of my system for a bit. I hadn't done that since my restart. Will go for a no sugar some snacks day today I think.
No scales this week so I have no idea how I am doing in that way. Will find out properly on Monday morning. I think that I have done quite well for a holiday in general though. .

That experience of actually feeling sick after chocolate/crisps etc has proved to be quite a restrainer for me now. I guess it's because we are off those things for 5 days, our bodies actually get unaccustomed to them! No bad thing, eh?! I've been toying with the idea of only having sweet things on Saturdays - and keeping Sunday to a non-sugar snack day.nettee wrote:Oh dear.

That sounds like a good plan Rawcookie.
I upset my husband just after my last post as he had gone out and bought an S day treat breakfast for us of sweet pastries. Maybe I should have gone with it.
Anyway the scales have been kind and I am at an all time low of 12 st 1.5 lb this morning. Quite pleased not to have gained after a week away.
Success for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Pizza lunch at work yesterday and I had my plateful and kept going.

I was quite hungry this afternoon - I think my lunch was a bit small but I was fine waiting for supper time.
There is a fireworks night event tomorrow and I am not certain how much temptation there will be. I believe it is a hog roast for supper which should be enough of a treat to keep me going.

You've had a great week! Well done!
I hope that the fireworks are not rained off - it's been raining for the past 24 hrs here in Cornwall! Our fireworks are on Saturday night and I'm planning to have a veggie-burger and some mulled wine or spiced cider!

Success for Friday with just the hog roast bap for supper. So a 'perfect' week. I didn't feel like I would need to go too mad yesterday but I did end up eating a lot of crisps. Maybe it is good as a reminder of what happens without the rules and why N days are so effective. Another S day to navigate today.

I have been a bit quiet on here this week because I have been busy or maybe because the habits are all coming a bit more easily at the moment. I am not at all sure that this will last though - it does feel safer to post daily.
I have a children's birthday party this morning. Tricky on an S day. I need to come up with a plan. Maybe one non sweet snack chosen very carefully as a maximum at the party......

Thank you Merry. Sunday afternoon was not as good but ok for an S day. This morning I weighed the same as last Monday (12st 3lb) and was a bit peeved. Cracked at children's tea time for some pizza crust and have had a few scnacks since.

Don't let it throw you. I have lots of Mondays that stay static like that, or sometimes even go up a bit, but over time you'll see it go down. Usually in the course of a month, I'll have a couple about the same, and a couple go down--it can fluctuate. I've had 5-week plateaus in the past too, where lost and gained the same pounds over and over--and then suddenly it will start to go down again. This is why it's so important to focus on habit and not worry about scale readings (or take them in stride). Habit is all we can control, really. Hang in there!nettee wrote:Thank you Merry.

I did go back on to it for the rest of the week which I am very pleased about as I was away at a conference and the were giving away chocolate. Two years ago I broke my quitting sugar plan at the same conference so quite proud of my progress. A medium to high level S day yesterday. The scales are looking ok though - still hovering around the same despite everything.

Still weighing 11 something and a new low this morning of 11st 12.5lb. Nearly 11lb down.
I am considering doing a testimonial for 10 lb lost in just under 2 months but feel a bit of a fraud because I weigh more than when I started just over a year ago. Also trying not to think too hard about milestones but keep things low key so that I don't fall off the wagon. Having said that my habit cal is looking lovely for November. One red and just three greens to go for next week.
My trousers are getting a bit big too now which is a good feeling.
Food wise I have been having pitta bread with brie and red peppers for breakfast this week. Quick and filling. lunches from the supermarket with usually a sandwich and a cheesy salad (feta or mozzarella) no crisps - sometimes fruit and yoghurt. Good hearty supper in the evening. Coping ok with the gaps between meals. It is S days that are the hardest - getting a treat in without going too mad!

Success today.
I have relaxed about S days and am not putting any restrictions on them but wonder if I should go back to no sugar or 5 's events'. If I relax enough perhaps I will calm down on the madness naturally. I did have quite a bit of a large chocolate bar on Sunday but on the bright side there is some left in the fridge. I do think the sugar makes Monday and Tuesday harder.

I have looked ahead and filled in S days for the rest of the month on my Habit cal with just Friday 30th as a NWS day because we are going away that day for a few nights for the new year. Christmas Eve and Christmas day are at the weekend anyway and I don't think I need to take the 26th and 27th bank holidays as S days.
I have had a reasonable week - worst thing was probably and indian takeaway on Thursday evening. I have stuck to the rules. The scales are not being very kind though - something about going to work does help with that and I have been at home. So fingers crossed for next week.
I am intending to have the odd mince pie over the weekend as I love them and have not had a single one yet. There is a carol service tomorrow where I know they will be offered so I am looking forward to that as an S event.

Can't weigh in tomorrow and then it will be Christmas etc so probably my low for the year is 11st 10.5 lb which is 12.75lb off in just under three months. Not bad.
I am not writing off the end of the year though. I still have 5 more greens to put on my habitcal.....

Just about to go to a hotel for three nights and am on S days for three days now. Back on it on 2nd January with an N day breakfast in the hotel before checkout.
Hope you all enjoy the New Year Celebrations.

Happy New Year! We had a lovely trip and I made the most of my S days. Today's N day is going fine so far and I am feeling positive for 2017.
My next goal is to have stuck with it and be under 11 1/2 st for our skiing trip in April. It would be great to fit into my sallopettes and have a good weight to tell the ski hire people. Maybe I also could be a bit fitter by then with the help of my activity tracker and 7 min work out app.

This is very good news and probably my first non scales victory. My trousers are looser but I have not got the smaller ones out to try yet.
I love Everyday Systems :3

I have been reading about Dr Xand Van Tulleken's diet in the daily mail.
Some good tips - eat cheese - it is filling, avoid 50:50 fat and sugar - it is addictive, avoid alcohol - it makes you eat.
He is suggesting 1, 2 or 3 meals a day plus one snack if necessary and calorie counting with low carbs also. Lots of cooking from scratch.
I am sure it would work but perhaps too much like hard work to stick to forever - he says he has done 6 years though.

A Sunday afternoon binge here with meringue, cheese, bread, crackers etc. I wish I wouldn't - It always seems to be the Sunday afternoon of the weekend when this happens. maybe it is related to the bits and pieces of sugar I have carefully chosen to have before that time which pushes me over the edge - Saturdays pavlova, toast and jam for Breakfast on Sunday and a after lunch biscuit on Sunday. Or maybe it is a last hurrah before 5 more N days.
I am wondering when I will get my page 2 on here and don't want to start it with something negative. I suppose I could always edit if that happened.....
Off we go again today.

Success
I cooked something out of a diet in a newspaper for lunch - courgette and carrot fritters. They were ok, I didn't like the turmeric and yoghurt mixture to go with it though. Also made sure I had lots of salad, extra carbs in the form of pitta bread and a cracker and extra protein in the form of cheese and some fish with it so I felt nicely full 😉
