Hi Paula, It's nice to have you here! I've also done WW a few times. I always gain back whatever I lose with that diet....or any diet. I LOVE the freedom NoS gives. I don't think about points or fat grams & never miss them. Have you read the book yet? I think I've read it at least 5 times & I get so...

I love Fridays. If I can just make it through the day I'll chalk up another week on my calendar. Fridays are the best. Just got back from the "Y". Going there 3x a week doesn't exactly fit well into my schedule, but I've finally decided that I don't care. I've done everything possible for my kids fo...

I've lost track of my days, but that's okay. Counting them all helped me get started & now just knowing I'm adding a green day at a time to the HabitCal is helping. I've decided that my biggest goal these days is swimming. I used to swim, but got sidetracked somehow. I've started back again & have b...

Hi Deb....we just got back yesterday afternoon. I ended up with a normal yellow weekend with green days surrounding it! I've never been able to accomplish that on a road trip so it was very encouraging. Now that I know I can do it, I'll have no excuse on the next one! lol... Thanks for checking in.....

Yesterday was an easy Saturday. I ended up not eating cake or cookies at my MIL's 90th birthday party. It felt great to be in control over the food instead of the food being in control over me. Today we'll visit mom before we start our drive back to NY. I ate breakfast here at the hotel & hopefully ...

"Gluttony is a Monster!" I LOVE that quote!!! And it's so very true....

I HAVE taken stuff out of the trash before...that's hard for me to admit, but it's true. Now, if I'm really struggling I put it in the sink first & douse it with water first.

I agree with you on the hunger issue. It's as if we've been programmed to believe that hunger is a bad thing...something to be avoided at all costs. True hunger is a great thing! It tells me that I've used up the fuel from my last meal & my body is ready for more. If I never get hungry, how do I los...

Welcome! Here's my 2-cents...someone wrote here that what NoS teaches is maintenance first. That's part of why the weight loss is slow. I've done WW (as well as all sorts of other diets), but I never learned maintenance - not that I ever got to that point anyway...lol. BUT, this plan goes from weigh...
