Everyday Systems

Sweetness, If that works for you, then do it once a month! So far for me, I am wieghing daily but I may go down considerably later on here. I agree the scales can also be a painful experience when were doing it slowly, My wieght loss slows as I reach more of an ideal weight. Scince I have done this ...

There is no clinical study showing that on/off again exercise will disrupt the cycl I have noticed this for myself in my own personal experience, and I believe it to be true. I can go 60 days (could be more, according to past experience) but when I put a short burst of J Mich. exercise dvds in there...

Have you discussed this with a doctor? Well, a doctor diagnosed me with PCOS, but the only thing they will offer me is Meds, (birth control pills) OR (Metformin) and Im not interested. I am not a Med kind of girl. I do everything natural as much as possible. Scince eating less and exercise, fish oi...

I'm confused. How would 14 (or 24) minutes of exercise disrupt your cycle? I have proven to myself(twice) that 24 minute Jillian Micheals workouts done for a week or so will stimulate ovulation for me, making my cycles more normal instead of Months long. So thats what I meant. I dont know if a 14 m...

Thanks KCCC! You have alot of experience and wisdom to give us newbies! Something that has helped me before, I want to mention is out of the BOOKs Beating OVereating and Overcoming Overeating by Gillian Riley. She says to give yourself Complete freedom (seriously) and tell yourself you CAN do whatev...

Yes, I have cravings and stuff when that TOM rolls around! I want to eat everything or something! ALso I get really sensitive and more grouchy. I need to do some research on this, but Vitamin B6 is supposed to help.

I listened to all/most of the Podcost about 14 minutes of anykind of exercise 5 days a week. I wasnt sure if this goes in the Shovelglove forum, but its not about Shovelglove. This makes so much sense to do just 14 minuntes at least daily. I think Im going to try the basic principle. However, I have...

Good Green streak!!!!!!!!!

[ Do you plan on making anything special? ! I got a Taste of Home cookbook from the Library and I am already planning a wonderful icecream pie with peanut butter ect! Enjoy your chocolate cupcakes! Dont worry Im not planning on eating the whole thing, Im gonna have lots of help, hubby and 4 kids! E...

Day 7 SUCCESS I am quite hungry this afternoon. I ate leftovers for lunch, maybe didnt quite eat enough? I also exercised some today so maybe thats why Im hungrier.

I got a habit tracker hung on my fridge. I see GREENS and 2 Yellows!!!!!

Who Me? wrote:Do be aware that relying too much on the scale for peace-of-mind can be crazy-making.

It may be healthier to focus on building healthy habits, at this moment.

Very true. I will be slowing down with the scale as my wieght loss slows. Probably down to once a week or maybe less eventually.

Sweetness and tobiasmom Okay girls let's do it this weekend...let's make it fun...both days.. 1 snack, 1 dessert, 1 seconds..and let each other know what that was... We can do this.. That sounds like a really good idea to try. One idea for you, NoSnacker, I think changing one small (no matter how s...

Thanks NoSnacker! The book is pretty helpful! How do you feel about getting on the scales? I can see you have lost weight in your signature I got on the scales this morning and I am down to 195.8 lbs thats 3.4 I even ate a whole hamburger and a largish portion of tomatoes and onions with olive oil l...

Thanks NoSnacker! So far I havent had alot of trouble between meals or after supper with the urge to snack, but it might come! I got on the scales this morning and Ive lost around 2 lbs scince starting NO S. I dont know, I might limit how often I get on the scales, not sure whats going to happen wit...

The S day thing is still a mystery to me! I got my book today so it had more information yet in it. Basicly the way I understand the people on this board AND the book, If you stick with No S and keep your N days faithful and true, The S days just straighten them selves out with time, by itself. Whic...

Wow! Thanks for posting your testemonial!

Oh my goodness. For some reason I am stressed out ect or something.

I sorta did good today, I ate quite a bit at lunch, but Im gonna call it a

Success day 5 today. Maybe I havent been getting enough sleep or something! I will pray about it anyway

Hi yall, I started last Thursday, so count me in those who starated in August. S days are hard for me too, I am sure That I Will eventually probably have to put some moderations on it, but not right now, and probably introduce them slowly. He suggested have 3 meals a day, and I think planned snacks ...

Well, after 2 S days, Im back on an N day today!

I had scrapple with sausage and canteloupe for breakfast

MY first S days turned out ok, there was quite a bit of on and off snacking, and I had sweets, icecream and stuff

I ordered the NO S book, Im hoping it comes today!

NoSRocks, thank you for your nice comments and encouragment! :D Bride, Thanks for bringing that to my attention! I will try to keep in touch on this journey! Its nice to be able to know about others overcoming binge eating or whatever, you know, If someone else can overcome binge eating, I can too! ...

Thanks! Byron Richards in his book Mastering Leptin made it sound like it was almost not good or something if you didnt exercise perfectly timed with the 3 meals.

I will just do it when it suits me!

Ok, when is the best time to exercise scine Im only eating 3x day? Between meals, but right after, right before? I do the Jillian Micheals 30 day shred OR ripped in 30 which really takes down my insulin resistance problems, so it is hard wieght lifting busting workouts. The leptin diet had really co...

Well I got up this morning and felt skinnier already. The scales hasnt shown it but the tape measure does. About 3-4 inches or so, probably more closer to 3" off of my belly!!!!!!!!! Yay for No S! I am just hoping I dont get discouraged at 1/2 pound a week. Because I am used to the mindset of losing...

That is exciting for you! Clothes and the tape measure are better than the scale really! They dont lie!!

I started using a tape measure and pictures and I like that pretty well.

Pretty much day 1 for me and I am already seeing the magic of No S. I am a binger and huuuuuuuge snacker (All day long almost before when I wasnt dieting) Well, I ate breakfast, ok and then at lunch, I noticed my tummy was feeling FULL before my plate was done. I left some on my plate. Then I had th...

I think so maybe

Thanks, Im starting with the larger one and going to try to keep the food inside the middle circle!

Ugh, If I ate that much Id be SICK Who Me? !!!!!!

Day one stats 199.2 lbs waist 34.5" belly button 38.5" SUCCESS belly 46" Breakfast 7:43 or so 2 eggs with salsa yogurt Lunch almost 1 PM guacolmole with chips salad 1/2 of ham cheese sandwich Full!!!!!!!!! My stomach may be shrinking already. Supper 5:30 pm or past guacolmole with chips 1 6" sub fro...

Hmm, for some reason I thought 9" was smaller than the standard Corelle plates. Let me look into it... Ok It appears our plates are around 10 1/4 inches and our small salad plates are 8 1/2" They are similar to this, just different design... http://www.amazon.com/Corelle-Livingware-4-Inch-Country-Co...

Ok, I wondered should I use a 9" plate or start with a normal sized one? Tommarow will be day 1 sort of for me. I am starting now, but today was kinda messed up.

Thanks so much for replying and giving me tips! I agree that I should try it a bit before adding on mods. I am just so desperate to get the weight off, sound familiar? I lost almost 30 lbs between Feb and March 2011 and gained it all back in May/June. Its so discouraging and makes me desperate. But ...

Well I am new to all of this. I have binge eating disorder and I have read other testemonials on this forum that the No S diet has helped others with BED to overcome this. ALmost every year, I lose 30 or 40 lbs and gain it all back. I am very strict OR I am eating everything in sight. I often start ...
