Plantar fasciitis seems to be finally gone after 2 years of preventing me from running, back on the roads now for 5 weeks, very happy about that. So it is time to focus on consistent and sustainable weight loss again, my weight has crept up by nearly 10 lbs over the last few months, nearly 20 lbs in...

Back again, this time combining the 'No S' diet with a DietBet, participating in a 28-day friendly 'bet' with several hundred other people. Each of us put up $25; if you lose 4% of your body weight over the 28 day period, you get your money back plus a share of the amount forfeited by the ones who d...

For me success begets success; for example when my 5K times start to improve, I want to see more improvement, so I train harder, drop more weight and so on. I guess it is a kind of positive re-inforcement. Same thing with weight loss; as soon as I start to get some compliments about looking good, or...

Sounds interesting, I do something similar (20 minutes focused working without getting up from my desk) and then 5 minutes to do anything I want, like this... :-) What is an alcohol budget? I'm trying to lose weight and an effective way to do that - or so I have heard - is to limit alcohol intake to...

Have been unable to run for almost 2 months now (except for a few short jogs with the dogs) due to plantar fasciitis. Which caused my weight to go back up to 172 (was at 160 in Mid-April). Rather discouraging but I haven't quit yet. Have been doing quite a bit of rowing on the C-2 ergometer, and sti...

About time to check in again! Had a few lapses recently but in my 'defense' it was during a 6-day long weekend in South Beach. Too many mojitos and other tall drinks with lots of ice in them. Back to the usual routine now, and also in a new age group (for running). So lots of motivation to maintain ...

Back from Africa and eager to resume the No S Diet in full force; managed to stay mostly on course while in Uganda and Rwanda the last few weeks. Even so all the travel days - we spent many hours in a vehicle driving between towns - and the lack of exercise opportunities as well as limited food choi...

Amy hi yes thanks - Kathy did finish, she has her medal and very proud of it! I am down to 165 lbs this morning, bodyfat percentage down to about 18% to 19%. Down a total of 7 lbs from when I started 'No S' on March 26; not bad for a little more than 3 weeks. Best thing is I don't feel 'deprived' in...

Back from Boston and considering the totally non-routine activities - it went pretty well. Friday worked out OK - lunch at Wagamamas in the Prudential Center and dinner at an Italian restaurant in the North End. Monday - the day of the actual marathon - was also mostly good with lunch at a vegan res...

Thanks for all the encouraging words of welcome, what a nice group!!! I will try not to let you - and me - down! So far so good. This weekend in Boston I will probably indulge in a few too many 'fun calories' (ahem, some of the liquid variety...) but nothing too extreme. The daily discipline of avoi...

I was worried that not snacking prior to running or other workouts may affect my performance but it hasn't; in fact my last race - last Saturday - was one of my best ones so far this year. Weight down to 166 this morning, haven't been in the 160's for a while!! Will be spending the weekend in Boston...

Amy hi - great to see you here! Yes I have very high hopes for this program too! So many 'diets' are too difficult or time-consuming to follow; and/or they set unrealistic behavior standards on the part of the dieter. Not this one: it allows you to indulge on S days, yet makes it super easy to be co...

Interesting observations about diet drinks/sodas etc. I wonder if it is ok to drink a lot of caffeine-free herbal tea such as nettle tea or rooibos or ultra low caffeine white tea? Certainly keeps me sane during the day, instead of chewing on something calorific! Congrats on staying on the program a...

Thanks for the welcome! My running is going pretty well, but I know it will improve by leaps and bounds if/when I can drop about 20 lbs. On my way! My goal is to be competitive in my next age grouping which is coming up soon: in May. I have been trying to improve the quality of breakfast - instead o...

No more guilt sounds good! You seem to be doing pretty well with that. I think I will borrow your 'permasnacker' description for yours truly. It is so easy to turn into one because practically every other 'diet' program nowadays encourage a minimum of 5 small meals per day. Add a few snacks and a pe...

Still down after first weekend
I was worried that this weekend - traveling in an area where I did not have access to my usual foods - would prove to be disastrous. Not so, actually down one more pound to 167. I hope never to see 170 again! Will be super-compliant this week to try to drop another couple of pounds.

Bert's occasional check-in
New here! I stumbled across the No S Diet when I searched for 'no snacking' diet - snacking between meals has always been my #1 problem with weight loss. Anyway, combined with 'no sweets' and 'no seconds' except on days starting with S, it is exactly what I needed to get serious about weight loss. N...
