Thanks everyone. Success for today

nettee

Oh dear a failure for Friday too. New week starts here

nettee

Thank you

Exact same thing happened yesterday another failure. One more chance to be back with better news this week.

nettee

Thank you guys. Failure today sadly. Supper was just that bit too late. I need to make sure it is early enough. Once I started I had a bit of an ‘oh well, done it now’ moment and ate a lot more than I should have. Never mind, mark it and move on.

nettee

Woo hoo another Success

Pleased with that today. I was very hungry when I got home but did a run instead of snacking and then cooked supper quickly.

nettee

success

Felt like a long long wait till supper this evening but I made it.

nettee

Thanks Pinkhippie

The weekend didn’t feel too crazy but certainly not like the week days. Back on it this morning.

nettee

success for yesterday. We did have an Indian takeaway last night but that was my meal so within the rules.

Now to navigate the S days without being an idiot.

nettee

Thank you guys. Another success for today. So far so good this week. holding our for tomorrow to complete the set.

nettee

Well done

nettee

Thank you Bluebell. Another day today. Hopefully I am getting in the swing now and will be back with more good news this evening. 1.5kg down since Monday

nettee

success

Over half way through the week

nettee

Day 3 - let’s make this three in a row.

nettee

Well done Pinkhippie for resisting the after dinner emotional eating craving. And for keeping up the motivation whilst maintaining. That is the success we all should be aiming for.

nettee

Yay success number 2.

I was a bit hungrier today but made it through. Enjoyed my meals again today. Burgers on the barbecue for supper.

nettee

Ok - day 2 here I come. Can I earn another green square? Go me

Off for a run now

nettee

Well done Bluebell. I am recently back too. It is good to be here.

nettee

Good luck with it all

nettee

Whoo hoo! A success. First green square on my habitcal for a very long time. Supper was particularly tasty this evening with no rules and not being full of snacks

nettee

Thank you. I haven’t read as much book as I planned but all ready to go for tomorrow.

nettee

Here I am again - starting on a Saturday! I did have a try on Thursday but succumbed to temptation whilst cooking dinner so I am going to reread the book over the weekend. commit on here and go for it on Monday. I have had success with No S before. Recently did well with slimming world but have had ...

nettee

Thanks Automatedeating. Another failure for yesterday. I am so annoyed with myself. Forging ahead for Friday though.

nettee

Thank you. I feel like it is all slipping away this week after last week’s confidence. Success for Tuesday and failure for Wednesday. Just an afternoon binge fest yesterday sadly. Oh well back to it and hopefully two more successes before the weekend.

nettee

Failure for Monday. Pre dinner nibbles and one lead to another sadly. The weekend was not great. The scales are a bit static just now and I am feeling that this is never going to work. I need to remotivate because it is working slowly and I can stick to it most of the time for a long period. Also a...

nettee

success for Wednesday and Thursday. It is probably a good thing that so am thinking about it less and having less to say on here.

nettee

successes for Monday and Tuesday. And a good run yesterday too.

nettee

Yes I think the social side of running is brilliant too.

Saturday was a bit crazy but I was pleased with Sunday with just one S in the afternoon.

Back to N days today and a normal week.

nettee

1st day of the month and a fresh page on my habitcal. I have a green for parkrun although I only did 3 k with a mixture of walking and running with my daughter. Very proud of my older daughter completing her first 5k parkrun. Two breakfasts and some crisps so far on my s day. The second breakfast wa...

nettee

Success for today.

Al went smoothly today without too much temptation. The weekend to get through next fingers crossed for not being an idiot.

nettee

success yay!

nettee

Automatedeating- if you can do that then you are a real runner - well done. Yes parkrun is a real thing! It does have a ring to it and is very motivating as somewhere between 100 and 500 people turn up at each of 7 different and pretty locations close to me at 9.00 every Saturday morning and we all ...

nettee

successes for parkrun on Saturday and a training run today. failure for Monday but it was at lunchtime and I got back on track so not too bad. Going for green today

nettee

failure for Friday- I tried but couldn’t resist a chocolate cupcake (and a half). At least it was really good. Should have saved it for today though

. Off to parkrun soon on a glorious morning.

nettee

Well done Automatedeating- that sounds interesting, I will have a look.

Success for Wednesday and Thursday. I have reached a new milestone on my happy scales app this morning too. 8lbs down now on No S. A few days off work coming up so hoping I can keep the motivation going.

nettee

Thanks

Two Successes so far this week. The weekend was not too crazy - we had a guest staying so some big meals but the snacking was ok. Also did my parkrun on Saturday.

I am struggling to keep up with my inbetween parkrun training though.

nettee

success for Thursday and failure for yesterday. I went out to a party with nibbles after supper and drank something sweet and ate a few nibbles. I was quite pleased though because when I got home I considered eating all the things at home I have been resisting as it was a red day already but I didn...

nettee

Well done - sounds like the change has made a difference

nettee

Thank you

Whoop whoop - I did my run today and had another Success

nettee

Success

It has been quite hard these last two days but somehow I have resisted all sorts and am on track.

nettee

Success

nettee

Wow well done automatedeating. Sounds good. I cut my 5k time by 3 minutes on Saturday - partly because I had rested so much I guess but will go back to my two training sessions this week so things don’t slip. My S days were reasonable over the weekend which is nice although the scales don’t seem to ...

nettee

Thanks guys - you are right about the children. Far too much sugar in their lives. I am off to parkrun this morning- maybe my fresh legs will get me round quicker! Are you walking or jogging every day, automatedeating? How long for? Success for yesterday. Two S days ahead but I have not been plannin...

nettee

Success

Despite meeting food temptation today

Still no running though.

nettee

Success. Great to be back on it today.

nettee

Thanks for the support. Yes somehow cake mixture is a bigger challenge than what is is the cupboard. The kids live to bake though - maybe a S day activity in future

nettee

failure for today. Started with some cake mixture from my daughter’s baking and set off a spiral of wth eating

also no run today as planned.

Never mind, tomorrow is another day.

nettee

Success

A nice bank holiday with some singing and a roast and no Sweets, snacks or seconds

nettee

I did my 2k this morning which is a bit like an interval trading session trying to keep up with my daughter between walking rests. My one S Sunday was going beautifully until I had a melt down at about 5 and ate a whole medium sized Easter egg plus its mini egg and four squares of other chocolate. O...

nettee

Success for Friday Whoohoo I made it through the first three weeks. :D I was quite tempted last night but held it together. I hope I can get through the weekend without going too crazy. We have another bank holiday on Monday which makes it harder to get back on track. No 5k parkrun for me this morn...

nettee

Success

Stir fry for supper tonight. One more day to the weekend and the 21 day club!

nettee

Success for yesterday. I had supper very late and there was a bit of seconds involved but nothing too serious.

Also did my run yesterday

nettee

Success

Success

nettee

Thank you Octavia. Unfortunately I did turn into an idiot after Saturday’s post but they were S days so never mind. It is Monday morning and so can have a green day today. My daughter made me run with her in the Junior parkrun yesterday so I have another green on my exercise habitcal. I think it wou...

nettee

Thank you liveitup. I felt better this morning but set out in a yellow weather warning for wind to do one of the few parkruns that wasn't cancelled today feeling very intrepid. In fact it was sunny, there was no rain and mostly sheltered from the wind. So I achieved my objective of running all the w...

nettee

success for Thursday. I did get a migraine and wonder if it is because I am not eating enough or having to big a gap between meals. Maybe my early supper on Wednesday followed by quite a small breakfast on Thursday morning. And a run on Thursday morning. I will aim to eat a bit more than two cracke...

nettee

Thank you for your encouragement

Success

An early supper tonight so I am hungry going to bed. But not so I won’t sleep.

Will avoid doing that again if I can.

nettee

Success. Another good day although I am eying the Easter Chocolate. We were given a Lindt bunny yesterday and so I am planning on that for an S day treat.

Had a slow run this morning but at least I got out there I guess.

nettee

Your salads sound great. Sounds like you are on it with the portion control for next time.

nettee

Success for today. Rather proud of that one as we were entertaining and I resisted various afternoon cake, ice cream and Easter eggs.

nettee

Hi April - welcome and enjoy no S. It’s a great choice for prioritising sanity around food.

nettee

Thanks - it sums up no S for me

nettee

Hello - not a bad S day. I stick to my plan for most of the day and had my egg at 4. Some nibbles before and after supper on healthy things and then I had some of my children’s eggs that they were eating in the evening. Tomorrow is another bank holiday and we are having family round for the day. I d...

nettee

Good luck, and well done on your two green days. You sound very positive.

nettee

Happy Easter all. I did my parkrun yesterday and I ran my 30 minutes followed by a 2 minute walk and then finished in just under 41 minutes. Very pleased. The S day was ok ish, although I did eat things for the sake of it I think. I had my one hot cross bun at Mum’s which was a proper S day treat an...

nettee

I think I will give myself a success for today. I got a bit too hungry while making dinner and did some stretched virtual plating but nothing too disastrous. My first S day in a long time tomorrow. I have no plan which is not so good but hope not to be an idiot. I am going to see my mum - perhaps sh...

nettee

Well done to your daughter. I am sure that counts as an S event

nettee

Go for it liveitup, running is a surprisingly addictive and fun thing to do. My goal for tomorrow’s parkrun is to keep running for 30 minutes with no walking until that point. I am not fast so will still have at least 10 minutes to go but it will be longer than I have run for about 20 months. succes...

Good to see - Hope you all enjoy Easter - what are your Easter S day plans?

I am considering one very small chocolate egg but the jury is out.

nettee

Thank you both

I’ve just finished my second 20 minute run of the week and am pleased that it was further than Tuesday’s run. Next step is to see if I can go faster on Saturday’s Parkrun too.

nettee

Hello Octavia, I have been catching up on some of your recent posts as I am just restarting. Well done for sticking at it. Your S day issues sound very familiar to me. I am quite nervous about Easter weekend coming up as I used to have some crazy S days. At the end of my last long attempt I started ...

nettee

Success A good day today. So pleased to be back here on the no S board. I have downloaded the Happy scales app for recording weight loss. I enjoyed all my meals. Was very hungry by supper time but that is ok. I am planning a run in the morning and have ordered a big food shop including some healthy...

nettee

Well done, great start.

nettee

Well done for a good restart

nettee

Thanks for the tip. I have downloaded Happy Scale and it looks great

nettee

Hello No S. I am restarting after a long break. Feeling positive and ready to go. I have reread the book and am feeling remotivated. I have two green squares on my habitcal from Monday and Tuesday and have not had any sugar withdrawal headaches yet. I resisted chocolate at work yesterday, a major ac...

nettee

I left after a very stressful event in 2017 and have been back briefly since but away again and most recently on another diet which was similar in some ways to no S but not as simple. I am back because I know I find this system sustainable and it works. I have two green squares on my habitcal which ...

nettee

Proper melt down s day yesterday. Out for an Italian this evening. Back on it on Monday I guess.

nettee

Hello, thanks for your reply. My son is doing really well now and playing rugby tomorrow! I am not doing 800 calories (best thing I leaned in no S is not weighing or counting anything). I am still sticking with the whole grains instead of pasta, bread, rice and potatoes and after the first week or s...

nettee

Iâ€™m sticking with it and beginning to feel better than I was. It does seem like quite an extreme diet though. Quite a departure from no S.

nettee

Thanks for that advice. I have been a bit cautious on the salt but I am sure I could not add more than I have probably been eating before. I think I will go for salted porridge for breakfast today as I have been feeling quite dizzy so maybe need a bit of a whole grain carb boost. I have lost 4.5 lb ...

nettee

Success for today and feeling better than yesterday.

nettee

Sounds like a good idea. I have successfully no sâ€™d And low carbed today. Currently feeling weak all over but not hungry. Hoping this is a temporary sugar withdrawal or something.

I also did a 7 minute work out app this morning.

nettee

Hello Thanks for your responses. I have done ok with no S on holidays in the past. As you say it is all in the planning. Maybe I was too close to my restart this time and not committed enough. I have been reading the blood sugar diet today. Not sure that 800 cals per day would be doable even if it i...

nettee

Hello again. I went on holiday and had a Lovely time but lost it again with no S. the good news is that I donâ€™t weigh any more than I did on 4th of July when I had my inspiration to try again. The bad news is I have another ( brief) holiday to go on the week after next and am thinking there is no ...

nettee

Success

The weekend was not bad. More than one snack but no sweets

nettee

First S day for a while. Not sure how to play it. I really donâ€™t want to go down a slippery slope. Maybe one non sweet snack each day?

2 childrenâ€™s birthday parties to negotiate as well this weekend.

nettee

Success. Lots of temptation around this evening but I was fine.

Thanks for cheering me on

nettee

Hello, just reading through your thread. Well done for getting back on habit after your holiday.

Good luck with intermittent fasting if you try it. Have you done it before?

nettee

Thank you

Success for day 2!

Itâ€™s like a miracle

nettee

Thank you for being so supportive.

Letâ€™s see what can be achieved today...

nettee

Hello - Success for today. Finally. I sat on the floor this morning feeling very hopeless and wondered what to do with myself. I am at my heaviest ever weight. I have been snacking and eating sweets with abandon for months. Decided to see if so could do just one S day and that is what I have done. L...

nettee

Weekends are harder for N days. After my last post I had a tricky weekend with seconds creeping into snacks. First mistake was a small lunc, always need to eat enough at each meal I think to stay on track. Anyway all has been ok again since Monday. I have had some sugar cravings over the last few, p...

nettee

Yes I can honestly say that it is much easier without S days and I am sticking with it still without too much thought - really pleased. I have had some conversations with people on other diets this week and am so glad I am on this one. I am out to a three course dinner next week and intend to have c...

nettee

Still going strong here - just not needing to post that often which is great.

nettee

When I say tea I mean the drink

nettee

I gave her tea but no snacks. She had had lunch on her way over so I donâ€™t feel too guilty! I had intended to offer her some chocolates that I had been given but I forgot!

nettee

It is interesting to see how people have come up with mods to fit their own eating issues. I have never had a problem with portion control and feel full after a moderate meal but have been a big snacker especially on sweet things. My mod is to have no sweets or snacks seven days a week but not to wo...

nettee

I am now basing my plan on the theory that sugar is addictive and am avoiding it (or more specifically refined/added sugar in excess of 5% of the food) altogether. I have just read Allen Carrs book re stopping smoking substituting nicotine for sugar in my head and have found that helpful. He does ha...

nettee

I found it helpful to have S events rather than whole days. The cake on Friday and your parent's dinner can be separated from the rest of Thursday and Friday.
