Hello Weagl860

Yes just post your success here, you can edit your original post each day (click edit on top right of your post) so everything is on one post

I've only been doing No S for a month but yes I believe on special occasions - such as an anniversary you can class this as an S day

Hi all!

Welcome Grace! You can do it, good luck!!
Just think of how you'll feel after a month in the green! I've just done august and it feels fab!

I would love to join in again. Did not do that well in August but am still working on just building the habit. I will post success or no success EVERYDAY with no snacks and no seconds and then success fail separately for sweets. I will also post my activity...and my weight intermittently.

Sept 1: S Day and a good s day... Just a party in the evening with hors d'oerves and wine.
Sept 2: SUCCESS
Sept 3: FAIL Technically on vacation but it is going to be a long one (till Sept. 17th) so I am trying to keep it mostly tames on S days and most like N days on weekdays. Had some Turkish delight and nutella today.

I did we'll the first half of August and am finishing up strong the end of the month, but the week or two mid-month I blew it on vacation! This month I would like to see a lot less red. But this is a new lifestyle for me so nothing's stopping me!

I am on board for the September challenge! I am one week in to the No S diet. Today is my first S day and I am having a hard time not treating it like an N day..... since I didn't lose any weight yet.
I'm a 5'2'' female and I currently weight 142. The top of my BMI is 135.
Here's to a "green September"!

Update 9/24/13: I have had all green days so far in September. Getting toward the end!

I love these challenges! Very motivating. I've actually started journaling a little figuring I'll look back on these some day.

1- s day
2-
3- very interesting day, I was only able to get a couple of bites of yogurt and a small crappy apple for lunch so I was famished for dinner. At the store I bought a large baguette and lots of cheese for homemade mac. I usually binge on this meal by picking here and there and eating seconds and thirds without ever feeling full. Tonight I made up my single plate and wasn't able to finish it. This is powerful for me! It's just like Reinhard said the stomach is really dumb at telling it is full when you pick and pick and pick at food. One plate is such a mental thing: simple but awesome!!!

6- s day -- pretty bingey with a pumpkin bread

29- s day - 2 ok s days! Had a little bingey moment in the AM today but calmed down. Had a 5 scoop sundae tonigt because I wanted one. No guilt, no yuckiness. Yay!

I am in. I really failed the August Challenge, but I never did give up even though I wanted to a few times. I posted the whole month. So here is to a better September. My Goal is 5 s events. Because for me the s days feed an unhealthy binging thing.

Count me in! I lost 4 pounds in August, and I want to keep the momentum going. More importantly, I want to continue to work on building good habits. Also.

4 pounds is brill! Hope I've done the same (not weighed myself) but i feel great so that's the main thing

Good luck for September!

also with the workouts - better to aim high like you did and still get a decent number (14 is more or less every other day!) Keep going you're doing brilliant!

Thanks, clarebear!

Ok, so far one slip up with NoS and not doing so well with my yoga. Will try to crank it up!

I've actually been working out more regularly than I have in a few years, but haven't been keeping track very well. Maybe I will for the rest of the month.

Oolala, do join us The more the merrier!

Welcome oohlala!

Just had a scan through, so much success and green days!
Well done everyone!

I haven't been very good in the past at adding to a created post. Not sure how to handle that.

I went to a yoga class this morning, but I'm coming to the conclusion I won't regard that as my 14 minutes even though we had a lot of tough moments in a 90-minute class. I will fit it in later, as I've got groceries to bring in and lunch pretty soon.

Thank you for setting up this challenge! I did it -- my first perfect month on No S!!!

I was not in the Challenge, but CONGRATULATIONS, Grace!!!

Well done Grace, I'm so pleased!!

Brilliant Grace!

I had one red day when it came to NoS but good god, was I bad on yoga, haha.

Well, come on October challenge!!
