Well I have tried several tries at No S and have never really made it far - maybe a day or two was all. I started back last Monday and have successfully managed one week. I also do a great deal of walking this time around. I have a bunch of dogs who really benefit from long daily - sometimes twice daily walks. I think that the walking makes me less hungry!
Anyway I am marking my days on the calandar after reading Blondie's post about Seinfeld and it motivates me to not "break the chain". Walking a certain number of steps, No S and Glass Ceiling are the 3 things I am tracking and I have a full week of compliance.
I love how portable the system is. In the past, when I embarked on some sort of diet it was so obvious, convoluted and in the end not sustainable. I have been to a party as well as had a dinner party and no one realized that I was doing anything different.
I have lost a half pound too!
Love it!
One week in...

Nice going!
Dogs definitely benefit from twice daily walks. Humans, too, though you wouldn't know it from my life.

Sounds like you have the right mindset, just make it a lifestyle. I know this plan works (although I have faltered a bit, it has proven itself to me in the past).
I agree that the beauty of this plan is that it is just normal eating. No need to apoogize for eating three healthy meals - as opposed to saying - No, I can't eat, I am on a diet.
What is sad, however, is that if one does just eat healthy normal meals in this day and age, bypassing all te extra junk in between - they are looked upon as an oddity.
Good luck,

A previous yoga teacher of mine used to say, "Why be normal?" I'm already of the semi-fringe element in other ways; I might as well be that way with food. Actually, nowadays, it is an oddity to be normal weight and even more of one to have lost weight and kept it off. It is sad! But we can have some joy in our oddity-ness, I hope. (I said that on purpose.)
