I found this article very interesting in that it is so very similar to No S. I thought you might too.

Amazing how our wise leader did this (even simpler) 16 years ago, when this young man was probably in high school. This guy's more complicated list is probably where most successful No Sers get to by trial-error-success, though we would call them mods.

But it is good to find similar tribes out there.

I think we used to have a thread just for such connections but there are only so many stickies to have, and several are now hidden in the Stick of Stickies thread.

I left him a long post.

Thanks Zippadee for posting that link. I like his approach of doing the easiest, most effective actions first, for having specific rules, and for trying something and then modifying it until it works. I also agree with him about the importance of consistency. I don't share his enthusiasm for calorie counting, although he does give some useful alternatives. I also thought his rates of weight loss were too high for older women with not much to lose. I can't even begin to imagine how hungry I would have to be to lose several lbs a month. However, these are minor criticisms.
