Thanks all! I have to admit - the positive attitude is pretty new, and pretty forced these days. It's similar to noS though - the more days in a row you have with a positive attitude, the easier it gets to maintain it. r.jean - 30K is a great distance to train at. The trick is to have a "maintenance...

It's been just over 2 years since I've been around these parts. NoS has been a huge help to me in the past, and got me on track with a proper frame of mind when it comes to food and health. After my marathon in 2013 I gained back a bit of weight but found a pretty good balance. I slowed down on my r...

I haven't been too focused on noS lately, but it's stuck so well that I rarely ever have a "failure". Occasionally I decide to have dessert on a Friday evening, but those are usually premeditated acts, and they don't make me feel like I've failed. So I'd say I've been 95% successful ever since I sto...

Also, Ran in the Terry Fox Run for cancer research on Sunday. 10 Km! My wife and 6-year-old daughter biked along with me. My legs are super-sore today, but it was a bunch of fun!

Sept 12, Day 17: SUCCESS!
Sept 13, Day 18: SUCCESS!

Also, this morning's Weigh-In: 225.7 Lbs.

I'm super happy with the results so far, and how much the plan makes sense to me. I'd been snacking fiercely for quite a while, and wanting to stop... And finally there's a way!

Good work sticking with it Portia!

My wife confiscated my scale - I was becoming obsessive. Now Fridays are my weigh-days. If you weigh yourself at the end of the week, your samples will be more accurate too.

So keep it up Portia!

Thanks Eschano! I'm feeling good too!
When there's no snacks to be had, making a healthy snack choice isn't so hard! :lol:

Sept 10, Day 15: SUCCESS!

Technically, there was a bowl and a plate for dinner... A small bowl of Pasta, and a plate of salad. I think that counts.

Lunch yesterday snuck up on me. I wasn't super-hungry the way I usually am. Dinner too.

Sept 9, Day 14: S DAY Yesterday and today were actually pretty tame, for S days. HAd a piece of banana bread yesterday as a treat, and today I had a piece of cherry cheesecake that my niece made.

September 6th, Day 11: SUCCESS!

Stepped on the scale this AM. 229.5lbs
Lost 10lbs in 2 weeks.
That was not the plan, but I'll take it.
I expect to level off at 1/2 to 1 lb per week.
I imagine that 10lbs is not actually fat loss.

Anyway, woohoo! I'm on my way.

September 5th, Day 10: SUCCESS ! I'm going to weigh myself tomorrow AM. I was scale-obsessed for the first few days, so my wife confiscated the scale. I'm only allowed once per week, on Friday morning. I've been going to Tae Kwon Do classes for the past 8 months or so, and I'm having a blast. The sc...

Way to go! Looks like we started No-S around the same time. Seems like you're doing great. It's my first time trying anything like this. I've been slowly putting on weight over the last 15 years or so. My weaknesses are the late-night binge of shame when my wife is asleep, and the mindless snacking...

My wife and daughter were away, so the evening no-snacking was difficult.
Had a tea and no snacks.

But it was difficult. Ate a small (normal to me) breakfast. Smallish lunch too. But I made it!

Hey all. I'm new here.
I started noS yesterday with a SUCCESS.
I'm in a tough spot now though. I didn't eat enough for breakfast. I've had 2 glasses of water though, and it's helped a bit.
Just an hour until lunchtime.
I'll make it!
