Thanks, John, for the encouragement.

By the way, I love your devotionals, I read some of them last night.

It is almost embarrassing to keep coming back over and over, but I do remember hearing that it usually takes several times to be successful at this plan, I have lost track on how many times I have tried it, maybe 8?? Anyway, Went to a counselor today, I have a lot of stuff going on in my life and I ...

I have stayed on track every day since I last posted even though I have not posted every day. So, let me just start from Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving - Ate everything in site! Friday - Back to "N" day, did perfect. Saturday & Sunday - Saturday ate T-giving leftovers, etc. Sunday - I was sick with a st...

Today I made coffee instead of getting into the leftover pumpkin pie!! I put a piece of the pie in the freezer for the weekend and am saving the rest for my son and husband to eat later this evening.

scaissie

Wow, haven't gotten on here in a couple of days, and I have all kinds of answers!! I did finally tell him about the "No S Diet" and he said he would try to be supportive. I did say he is "naturally thin", but he really does not eat like I do, he is not a snacker and only eats desserts occasionally, ...

scaissie

Thanks for all of the great answers!! Actually I did not really tell him about the "No S" diet, I just said I was watching what I ate, then when he saw cinnamon rolls on Saturday morning, he said "I thought you were on a diet"- and I did tell him how I felt about him saying that, and I did not expla...

scaissie

My husband is one of those naturally thin people who think that they are supposed to be your "diet police". When I get on the weekend "S" days anytime I eat a cookie or something he says "I thought you were supposed to be on a diet". I guess there is really nothing to say, I just have to show him it...

Eggs, bacon and 1 piece of toast.

Captain Ds, 1 piece of fish and cole slaw.

Green hot tea before bed.

1 day success [/colo I almost talked myself out starting this right before the holidays, but I really want to look at this as a way of life not as a "diet". I am dreading the holiday parties, if I can just stay away from the sweets during the week and focus on 3 meals and only eating 1 plateful of ...

scaissie

Probably about my fifth time to be on the No S plan, I have lost count and it has been awhile since I have been here on the boards, but here I go again. I did actually manage to lose about 20 pounds on this a few years ago. I have gained a lot of weight this year, been major stress eating due to pro...

scaissie

How do you handle spouses who have no weight problem at all and do not understand what you are doing? For instance, I was really proud of myself since I have been doing really good for 2 weeks, lost about 3 or 4 pounds, sat down on Saturday to eat my dessert, and my husband says "That is why you can...

scaissie

Thanks for the encouragement. Losing weight has always been fairly easy for me, it is the maintaining that is hard. Christmas always is bad for me, I seem to always gain weight, I think I gained 15 pounds this Christmas!! I could blame part of it on health problems perhaps, women with PCOD have more...

scaissie

My sister bought me chocolate croissants from Williams and Sonoma for Christmas! They are in my freezer, that will be my treat this weekend, they are delicious. One good thing about them is that you have to take them out and let them rise for a few hours before you cook them, so I can't just go grab...

scaissie

Hi, I have been on and off this board for the last couple of years. Last year I was doing perfect on the No S diet, I lost 25 pounds, started exercising, and I was feeling a lot better. Then two things happened, I hurt my back, and had some family problems, mainly with a rebellious 20-year-old daugh...

Hey, Joel,

My dad lives in Columbus Ms.

I am trying this once more, about try #4, I think, but I am not giving up.

scaissie

I have totally fallen off the wagon after going through the 21 days, then trying it again, then giving it up after that was not working. I ate a bunch this weekend, then even ate cake this morning!! I am feeling awful physically though, and am really wanting to give this a try again. I am not ready ...

scaissie

I feel a lot better today, I was worried that I would not be able to go through a day without sugar, but I did. I just have to take it one day at a time. Yesterday's menu: Breakfast: Raisin bran. Lunch: Grilled cheese sandwich, apple. Supper: Stir-fried chicken with rice. I also walked my dog for 30...

scaissie

Okay, so I made it through 21 days and I don't know what has happened to me other than I have had some huge stress in my life with issues with my teenaged daughter. The last couple of days I have had such a huge sugar craving, I cannot seem to get back on track since being sick on Monday. I have not...

scaissie

Actually, yesterday I was sick, so it was an "S" day and I did eat quite a lot of snacks, mostly crakers though. So I guess you could say I have officially finished 21 days. I did weigh myself though, and was not happy that I weigh 4 pounds more than I did last week. But I ate a lot of salt yesterda...

SUCCESS

Almost there.

Supper: Eggplant parmesan and salad. Apple.

scaissie

SUCCESS Breakfast: Oatmeal, apple, almonds. Lunch: Nachos, apple. Supper: 1 piece of fried chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy, salad, 1/2 a banana. I have terrible indigestion from just that small piece of chicken I ate (or maybe it was the gravy though I did not have much). I do have trouble with ...

I got through day #15 pretty good. Breakfast: Oatmeal and toast. Orange juice. Lunch: Sandwich with turkey, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes. Baked chips. Supper: Chinese fried rice, chicken and cashews. Unsweet tea. Apple. I even turned down a piece of chocolate cake my husband brought me leftover from a ...

scaissie

SUCCESS I was sick yesterday and really did not eat much of anything, but I did eat what I could, soup and crackers mostly. Over the weekend I did eat some sweet stuff, but not as much as I did the first weekend, I ate some of the German chocolate my mom sent, I ate some french fries at McDonalds an...

SUCCESS!! Yesterday was my 9th day. I am almost half-way through the 21 days! We have a great bakery in town, it is called Daily Harvest, they make whole grain breads, muffins, cookies, etc. I bought a loaf of the whole grain bread yesterday, it is expensive (5.95 a loaf) but so good it spoils you t...

Carol,

That is a good idea. I think I will start only weighing once a month. I am way too obsessed with the scales, to the point of weighing myself 2-3 times a week sometimes, it can really get you down when you see a weight gain.

SUCCESSFUL Yesterday was day #8 and I did great (I made a rhyme!) Breakfast was oatmeal, toast and banana. Lunch was nachos at Taco Bell (not the healthiest, but I was at the mall and hungry). Last night my church had a women's supper, and everyone brought salads. I filled my plates with salad (no j...

scaissie

Hi, I am new also, I am on day 10 today. My weight fluctuates so much, it is hard to tell, but I think I may have lost a couple of pounds in the 10 days. I am usually a slow loser. I am trying to speed it up a little with exercise, though. As far as weight loss being 1 pound then 3-4 pounds, I thoug...

scaissie

Success Yesterday was day #7. I was concerned about coming off of my "S" days, how I would do, but I got right back on the program fine. I ate eggs and toast for breakfast, spaghetti, salad and fruit for lunch and last night I ate at Chick-Filet with my kids, I really wanted to eat healthy so I got ...

scaissie

Hey, Carol, I was just wondering about the cereal. I read through the plan, and maybe I just skipped over it but is it okay to have cereal like frosted flakes, etc? Great job, 28 days, how many days are you going to keep checking in? I am 5 feet 4 and weight about 182, I need to lose 40 pounds!! Sha...

scaissie

Hey, Carol, thanks for the encouragement. What day are you on?

scaissie

I guess weekends can basically only be success, but maybe failure if you totally pig out!! Anyway, I feel like I did okay, even ate a lot of healthy food, allowed myself some of my favorite sweets, like chocolate chip cookies and ice cream. I made the mistake of weighing myself this morning, I think...

scaissie

SUCCESS Friday was day #4, and I was successful with that, though I ate more for supper than I ever would have being on a "diet", I ate fried fish, shrimp, and onion rings, but they were all on the same plate! Saturday and sunday are my first No S days, it is a little scary, letting myself eat what...

Yesterday was day #3. I felt a little hungrier between meals, but I drank a lot of water and made it through. Ate at Captain D's last night and ate healthy, shrimp scampi with brown rice and vegetables.

scaissie

Deb & Reinhard: Thanks for the encouragement. I am really trying to take this one day at a time and not try to get overwhelmed. I think that is why I fail so much, I look ahead and get overwhelmed and think that I cannot do this forever. I am heavier than I have ever been now, I have had a lot of st...

scaissie

I am actually on day #3, I really want to try this for 21 days. My last 2 days have been successful. Today I am starting day #3. I will be eating breakfast soon. I am very hungry, which is something I am not used to (a lot of times I would eat so much at night I still would not be hungry the next mo...

Hello, I have had this site on my favorites for over a year, looked at it several times, thought about trying the No S diet, then would try something else, Weight Watchers, Slim Fast, etc. I got tired of going to WW every week and weighing in and hearing boring talks, keeping track of those points e...
