r.jean, Thanks for your thoughts. I don’t mind at all anyone commenting on my posts or giving their opinion…as long as they’re not abusive! I agree with you, I think vanilla NoS is great and makes a lot of sense and has all kinds of good qualities.  I followed it for a month with one red day,...

Day 2 of my modified-beyond-recognition plan. Success; I didn't do anything crazy.

I think you have expressed what I am thinking; no rigid rules to follow relaxes me, but leaning towards the basic concept of No S keeps me in line.

Haven't quite managed to improve the quality of the food. One issue is that a big plate of salad is healthy, especially if it's not loaded with croutons or whatever, but takes up a lot of space.

It is so hard to remember that the daily fluctuations mean much less than the overall trend. With chips (unless they were unsalted) there's water retention.

My coffee has three teaspoons of sugar and some cream. I wish I could get by with less sugar, but it doesn't seem like it's going to happen (I'm saying this because I recently went for three weeks without coffee. I thought for sure I'd need less sugar, but no dice.). I was back to my old ways yester...

Hey, I hope you are doing better. I like your check-ins because your good N day meals look like something I could live on! Some people seem to eat so low-calorie, insubstantial meals I think, "Well no wonder they're losing weight!" And it's scary, because I couldn't eat that lightly for more than a ...

Finally made it to an S day! Whoo-hoo! Trying to enjoy the day but not freak out. Yesterday I stuck to the letter of the law, but not the spirit. I packed up my breakfast, which was too large. I had had visions of eating it in a peaceful place while I got some paperwork done. As it turned out, my pl...

Counting today as a success, though it's slightly borderline. I had an extra cup of coffee, which is heading toward snack territory. I am not dinging myself because: 1. It is truly indeterminate in my mind; 2. It's only the first week and I don't want to discourage myself; and 3. The circumstances u...

So far all is well. I've been having large meals, but they're not enormous. Actually...I would like to try to stick to around 1600 calories a day, and I've been tracking my caloric intake on the MyFitnessPal app for months and months. It certainly hasn't helped me lose any weight, but I am now entre...

Today was OK. It's green, at least. But it wasn't a great day. My usual way of eating is to eat lots of small snacks all day, with none that distinguish themselves as 'breakfast' or 'lunch' (dinner is fairly normal). It's hard to break this habit; I'm afraid of being hungry. At lunchtime, I started ...

Two N days down. I did eat rather large meals, but not horribly large. Tonight's dinner was a pan-fried dumpling and part of an order of curried chicken noodle soup. Hard to tell how much soup was a reasonable amount, but I ate half and brought the other half home. I feel like my eating is a little ...

Franxious1's Daily Check-in
I decided to go back on No-S and started off yesterday with an absolutely dreadful S day, preceded by one just as dreadful (related to both Hannukah and Christmas). Even though today is Sunday, I didn't want to have three in a row...so I picked the one day that most of the world probably counts as a...

I'm also returning to the fold! This is not the greatest time of year to start; too many sweets around on what should be N days. But I'm determined; and, thank goodness, tomorrow is Monday! I'm really glad to see some recent posts. I reentered this site a couple of days ago and it saw some of my old...
