No more points!!!
Hello. I am new here. I am just phasing out a paid membership where I have to count points. I weighed in today at the class (I gained .6 lbs) and then, after a little discussion about my adherence to the program, I just told them their program wasn't working out for me. I have to say, Reinhard, that your podcasts really helped me get some perspective. Instead of going to my car and crying, I pretty much just drove away and thought- oh well---whatever. I didn't really care if they thought I was a failure. Thanks for your simple plan. I love it so far (one week in).

Welcome, Dainty Cow! Any plan that makes you feel bad about yourself is no plan to be on (much less to spend money on)!
No S is slowly teaching me how to think like a skinny person. The other day I had a big lunch and actually thought to myself, "Oh, I will only need a small dinner now." Wow, at this rate some day I may actually BE a skinny person (again).

Another newbie aka points refugee
Hiya, I just wanted to post and say that I agree with you - there's got to be a better way than obsessing over everything you put in your mouth; there's got to be a way of eating well and losing weight without having your eating plan take over your whole life. I'm hoping that No S is it - actually I'm pretty sure that No S is indeed 'it' - what I'm hoping for is that I'm up to the challenge.
All the best with your No S journey

I am also free of points after many years of doing WW. I have to tell you that I did enjoy WW in that after my babies I would lose the weight quickly and it was of course the maintaing that would always be hard. After baby number 3 I did the no s to lose the baby weight. It did almost all come off though it was a bit slower. I've found though that it really fits better into my normal day to day life. I think the thing I notice more is that I don't find myself saying "I'm off my diet today, or I'm going to be real good today"
So welcome to freedom!!

Wow, you all are great!!! I gave my counting materials to a friend today(who asked for them). I wish I would have found this earlier. Better late than never, I guess. Thanks for all of your kind words ( I guess I really did need some encouragement after all- even though I didn't cry in the car)
PS daintycow refers to a handcrafted body butter business I had a couple of years ago- it just kind of stuck around for internet purposes.
Hope you all had a great No S day--- I did !!! Yay!!!

Welcome!
Though I guess you could argue that No-s could be considered a kind of math. A more appropriate kind -- geometry (three circles) instead of arithmetic. Three pie charts a day.

Yeah, unless you're rain man, turning every meal into a math exercise is not sustainable. Don't get me wrong, I love math -- just not when I'm hungry.No more points!!!
