KCCC- I have also found that keeping my "mealing" and eating 3 times a day on S days helps to keep everything going smoother! Otherwise, I just eat often!

Yeah, I have been eating more than normal too around these holidays, but we wont be eating this much on a normal basis!

When I was doing No S close to vanilla, I noticed my weight went back and forth, back and forth. It wasn't until I put a portion control system on it, (counting bites) that I was able to get a more even weight and going downward more.

I am so excited to see another bite counter here on No S!!!!!!!!! It seems like counting bites is almost unheard of to a lot of people and a lot of people seem to think its not doable.

I am doing my own "version" of No S with Intermittent fasting. Meaning 3 meals a day. But I do have sweets if I want to in those meals, and I do have a system of portion control--counting bites. I also give myself alot more bites for Sundays, hence my "S" day
