October 2018

Notes: I am still finishing the last of 4 consecutive 21 day challenges, but not really noting that here. At this point, I no longer need them, really - I have truly made the transition to having No S as my 'default, don't even think about it' behavior. I am really loving the ease and effortlessness around my eating habits/thoughts right now!!

Weigh in will happen on the last Friday or Saturday morning of each month, or first Friday or Saturday of the following month (about every 4-5 weeks).

Mon, 10/1 - Success
Tues, 10/2 - Success, Weight Training (Chest, Biceps)
Wed, 10/3 - Success, Weight Training (Back, Triceps)
Thurs, 10/4 - Success
Fri, 10/5 - Failure

Mon, 10/8 - Success, Weight Training (Chest, Biceps)
Tues, 10/9 - Success, Walking (3 miles)
Wed, 10/10 - Success, Weight Training (Back, Shoulders, Triceps)
Thurs, 10/11 - Success, Walking (4 miles), weight: 234
Note: This is the end of my 12 week No S challenge and it went great! I'm going to take a vacation for the next 12 days, and will return to No S when I get back.

Fri, 10/12 - Sun, 10/28 - VACATION - S and NWS DAYS

Vacation is over. Ready to get back at it!

Mon, 10/29 - Success

November 2018

Notes: Mid-October through the end of December is always a challenging time of year for me to think about weight loss, so I'm not even contemplating that. My simple goal, now, is to maintain 80% No S compliance during the remaining holiday season, take a break from journaling (just use HabitCal) and then I'll consider starting another 12 week No S challenge from January - March (which always tends to be a period of the year where my No S compliance is excellent).

I agree with your outlook.

January 2019

I really enjoyed the holidays!

I took the month of December 'off' from being too strict with No S rules. I wasn't worried too about gaining weight over the holidays... I knew that I probably would. My goals were to relax, have fun, and just be somewhat reasonable in my eating (i.e. No binge eating, and I didn't eat EVERY Christmas cookie offered to me, but I enjoyed the ones that looked the best during the occasions where it felt appropriate). In my experience, allowing myself freedom during the holidays helps with my compliance during the 11 other months of the year. I have no doubt that I will get right back to No S - ironically, I'm ready to have some general guidelines again as I find 'free-range- eating far less satisfying than I used to.

Onward to 2019 and another year of successful moderation!

simmstone · Post by **simmstone** » Tue Feb 19, 2019 3:27 am

Thanks, Whosonfirst.

January was tougher than I thought it would be, and February has been a bit easier... I think so many years of No S have taught me to just keep going and know that there will be ups and downs.

The big switch for me happened about mid-way through last year, when it seemed I finally just started enjoying the process of NO S, rather than focusing on any kind of results (weight loss). Since then, compliance has been easier because I actually get more pleasure out of eating when I am compliant with eating 3 plates per day than when I’m not. It turns out that pleasure (as Reinhard noted in the No S book) has been the best motivator that I’ve encountered for sticking to No S.

Wishing you much success in the remainder of February and beyond!

Well, February went pretty darn well. I'll do a 'quarterly report' at the end of March, but, so far, my compliance-to-date in 2019 is over 80%! So I'm going to try to make March another month of solid compliance!

Quarterly Report - No S compliance rate for 1/1/19-3/31/19 (via Habit Cal): 76.3%

My goal is 80% for the year, but a late March slide put me below that for the first quarter of 2019.
I need to ramp up my compliance this quarter.

I just read through your entire thread. Amazing! You're doing so well. I noticed that you stopped posting your weight results, is there a reason? Maybe I missed it. Last I saw, you had gone down to 238.

simmstone · Post by **simmstone** » Wed Apr 24, 2019 3:19 pm

Hi ChandaLikePanda,

I stopped tracking it because it wasn't bringing me any additional pleasure or quality of life, which is really why I follow No S now.

For many years, weight loss was the goal. But, over time, compliance has become it's own virtue to me - I just really like how I feel mentally and physically when I adhere to 3 meals a day. This is now my primary driver for maintaining my No S habits.

That being said, my weight is about the same as it was when I stopped tracking, even after some extended periods of red days due to stressful health circumstances that came up recently (but even those 'red days' weren't binge-a-thons... I just slacked on snacking/sweets a bit).

But, now that those circumstances have passed, I find I naturally want to go back to No S - not to lose more weight (if that happens, then fine), but because I enjoy life and food more when I eat 3 meals a day most of the time

It took a long time for me to get into this mindset, but it is the most wonderful outcome I ever could have hoped for.

simmstone · Post by **simmstone** » Wed May 01, 2019 3:07 pm

Finished April strong and looking to keep to momentum going in May. My compliance rate the first 4 months of 2019 is currently at 73%, so my goal of 80% compliance for the year is definitely still in reach, though I'm behind a bit... but solid green May will help!

I read through to catch up after hearing from you on the general board. Sounds good! I'm feeling May is going to be a good month for me, too. I've been slip siding (worse, really) all over the place and I think/hope I'm tired of it enough. (Though I have thought I was in the past, and then...

)

I take it what you consider food addict behaviors aren't really part of your habits anymore. Bravo! It will take awhile for me to be able to say that. I almost can't imagine it, given that I often let myself off the hook on S days, even at my late stage of No S-ing.

Weight loss was never the focus for me; the right mix of foods and amounts for pleasure WAS. I found it for a few years and then it stopped working. Nothing to do but keep experimenting. Meal-based eating is still a major element of it. It's almost a miracle that I weigh less than I did in high school, though tests show I'm quite a bit "fluffier."

I'm on your side!

Half-Year report/stats

My goals for 2019 are:
NO S: 80% compliance
Exercise: 42-57% compliance (average 3-4 days per week)

Here are my actual stats for the first half of 2019:
No S: 77.5%
* I'm definitely within striking distance of 80%. I just need to keep on being consistent.

Exercise: 32.6% (Average 2.25 days per week)
* I need to up my consistency to get to at least 42%. In the next 6 months, I'll likely even need a few weeks of getting 5 days in to bring this number up. I can do that.

Let's go! Here's to solid compliance in the next 6 months and meeting my goals for the year when I evaluate them again in December!

simmstone · Post by **simmstone** » Mon Jul 01, 2019 3:52 pm

Sat 6/29: Success, Weight Training
Sun 6/30: Success, Walked 3 miles
* Used my S days this week to coincide with social occasions on Thurs and Fri. I like having this option and will continue to use it - my main goal is simply to limit my S days/occasions to 1-2 times per week. I'd rather those times be occasions when I feel like it is 'worth it'... and that happened to be Thurs-Fri this week instead of Sat-Sun.

Haven't tracked for a while, but haven't gone off the rails, either.

I actually like logging in and seeing the positive momentum, so I'll pick it back up - same rules as always: Vanilla No S, regular activity (3-4 times per week avg)

12 week Holiday challenge

These 12 week challenges have gone pretty well for me, so I want to get one going through the holiday season. At worst, this should help me maintain (not gain!) my weight through the holidays... I’d consider that a win.

2020 - No S

Well, this is usually the time when I come on the board and lament how much I gained over the holidays... but, this year, I didn't. I've been following No S for so long now, that even my rebounds are mild. I'm a very different eater than I was in 2011 (when I committed to this way of eating).

My goals for this year, then, are the same as always:
1) Eating - 80% No S compliance
2) Exercise - 42-57% compliance (average of 3-4 days of activity per week)

That's it. I don't think I've yet had a year when I actually hit those goals, so there isn't any point pursuing anything 'loftier' until I can at least do that.

Onward!

February 2020
Took a birthday trip at the end of January, so I wasn't complaint with No S during the last week, or so, of the month - which put me behind the pace I need to be at for 80% compliance. No worries - there are no trips planned in February, so it should be a good month to get my stats back up.

Happy New Year, oolala!

Yes, it only took me 8+ years to finally figure out that I should try and hit 80% compliance for a given year before aiming at 81%, since I've never even gotten close to the former

simmstone · Post by **simmstone** » Mon Mar 02, 2020 10:04 pm

February was a great month for me for both No S and exercise, so my compliance stats in both of these areas are now on track again...

Current YTD compliance stats (as of 3/1/20):
No S compliance: 81.2%
Exercise compliance: 45%

Hopefully, I can keep it rolling in March. Onward!

Been away from the board for a while, but I'm ready to get back to logging... I find that it keeps me on track.

January, 2022

My goals for this year are the same as always:
1) Eating - 80% No S compliance ('Compliance' means eating between 1-3 physical plates on a N day); No more than 2 NWS days per month.
2) Exercise - 42-57% compliance (average of 3-4 days of activity per week - the ideal week is 2 resistance training/2 walking sessions)

That's it. I've never managed to achieve those goals, so I really want to make 2022 the year where I finally moderate!!

I will weigh myself on 1/1, then I'll do a spot check on the last Thursday or Friday of each month to measure progress.
I'm hoping to lose 3-4 pounds per month, as losing around 40 pounds this year would be ideal.

Onward!

It most certainly does.

oolala53 · Post by **oolala53** » Tue Jan 25, 2022 5:52 pm

You can prefer not to answer, but may I ask how you decide if there are fewer than three plates on an N day? I am not criticizing, as I have found value in even fewer meals, just wondering how you came to it. Sorry if it's recently in your thread.

Also, if you actually do exercise four days a week, will you call that 100% compliance? I will!

There is no guarantee these new habits will lead to your target weight loss (sorry being honest), but I think your system will still benefit greatly. After a few months, you'll have a good baseline to adjust from, if it seems worth it.

Go, Obsessive Moderation!

simmstone · Post by **simmstone** » Mon Jan 31, 2022 6:03 pm

Hi oolala!

I just go by how hungry I am these days - I have 'no more than 3 plates' per day, but, above that consideration, I don't eat if I'm not hungry.

I just rate exercise compliance based on 100% compliance (every day) - so I'm only shooting for a minimum of 42% compliance of all the days in the month (usually, that means 13+ workouts per month, or 3-4 per week).

These metrics will definitely lead me to some amount of weight loss (lost 13 pounds in January by just sticking to my compliance numbers), though you are correct - I can't control where that number ends up. But this is about the best I can do, these days, so I'm okay with that.

Hope all is well with you!

Holidays (Late November/December 2022/Early January 2023)

There is usually about a 6 week period at this time of year (just after Thanksgiving, all through December, and just after the New Year), where I get loose with NO S/exercise and gain weight that I have to take off later in the year... well, this year I am starting a 5 week 'Holiday' NO S plan, in hopes of of at least not posting a net weight gain over this period - my specific goal at the end of this 5 week period (let's call it Tuesday, 1/3/23,) is to weigh no more than what I started at on 11/28/22. That will put in me in a good spot to start off 2023.

'HOLIDAY' SEASON NO S RULES - N DAYS
3 Meals/Plates per day
- 2 regular (10-11) sized plates (normal N Day foods)
- 1 small (6-8) sized plate (N day or S Day foods)

Goals
- 80% No S Compliance
- Exercise 3-4 days per week (50% of all days)

Heck, if this sticks, I might even make it my 'all the time' No S Plan

When I started No S the first time in November, I think, of 2008, I had three good weeks, I think, and then collapsed at Thanksgiving and wallowed until the end of Dec. of the next year. Oh, I had one good week and a teacher training camp where there were three meals a day. I just hadn't had enough experience, but you are in a different place. Sending strength this season!

Cinnamon NO S

December was a nice dry run at my version of No S this year - I'm going to stick with the rules I laid out for the Holidays (since they worked so well for me), and see where that leads me in 2023... in keeping with Reinhard's idea about 'Vanilla' No S, I am branding my new, holiday-influenced version of my plan as 'Cinnamon' No S

To recap the rules for 'Cinnamon' No S:

Cinnamon NO S RULES - N DAYS
Up to 3 Meals/Plates per day
- 2 regular sized plates (normal N Day foods)
- 1 small-er sized plate (N day or S Day foods)

- This plan essentially keeps snacks and seconds off the table during the week, but allows for some flexibility on sweets while still limiting/controlling the input quantity of those items.
- It also covers unexpected events (like a party/gathering), without requiring me to 'burn' an entire NWS day just because I want to try the crab cakes!!
- The 'small plate' idea helps keep the serving size for a dessert or appetizer appropriate, and forces me to value making the choice to indulge (since I lose a plate of normal food).
- If I have a day where I know a special/social dinner out is coming and the 3 plates rule would inhibit the occasion, I have a few options:
- Take the NWS Day
- If 2 courses: Skip breakfast meal, Eat lunch, then have a Dinner and small dessert plate after dinner at the social occasion
- If 3 courses: Fast during the day, then allow for up to 2 plates (appetizer (salad), main course) and dessert (small plate)
- The name of the game is flexibility. Of course I want to lock my habits in, but I also want to allow myself to only quantify at higher levels when more granular critique would put me off of mindful eating entirely

I found that this philosophy really calmed my N days down during the Holidays, and kept me away from any normal binge eating I might otherwise engage in... and I lost over 12 pounds doing it, to boot!!

2023 Compliance Goals
- 80% Cinnamon No S Compliance
- Exercise 3-4 days per week (50% of all days)

Onward and Upward!

January 2023

I thought it was helpful to check in with goals on a weekly basis while I did my Holiday NO S, so I will keep that habit rolling.

I'll try four 12 week 'Cinnamon No S' cycles this year (sort of like the old Body For Life programs I used to follow... without the food lists - ha!), and my reward for sticking with my goals each cycle will be a week off after each one - that would build in 4 weeks off (2-3 weeks for Vacation, 1 week Post-Christmas/New Years).

Week 1
M, 1/2: SUCCESS, Weight Training - 45 minutes (Body Weight - 241.4)
T, 1/3: SUCCESS, Walking - 45 minutes

Hi oolala - Hope all is well with you! Thanks for checking in!

I can't say that it has been good or bad, because, after all, it is just food... but I do need/want to re-focus on my habit. I do most of my logging in the habit app on my phone now, and what I can say is that I am nowhere near my 80% compliance goal for No S.

It is a little disheartening that after so many years of good compliance I have revisited this unexplainable slump of compliance and enthusiasm after an extended period of breezing through things... but I also know that I still aspire to eat in the No S way, so I still keep coming back to it.

Weekly Notes:
I started reading a book this week called 'Eating Less' by Gillian Riley. I like how she encourages addictive eaters to acknowledge (rather than avoid) their propensity to eat addictively, and then to make a choice in the face of that addictive desire. I also like her concept of 'Times' and 'Plans': 'Times' is very similar to No S (i.e. no eating between pre-designated times), and the 'Plans' part is, too - 'what' you eat is up to you, but 'how much' is defined in some way before you begin eating (i.e. in the case of NO S, that is one plate). I realize I need to focus on continuing to make non-addictive eating choices to build my self-esteem.

Weekly Notes: It's going to be important for me to moderate my red wine consumption, if I am going to include it in my day... I had 2 failures this week and both occurred when I had a bit too much wine and then indulged in snacks after dinner. That being said, I still feel very good, overall, about where I am at right now (relative to a month ago).

Monthly Compliance Overview:

NO S Goal: 80%
Actual: 72%

Exercise Goal: 42+% (3-4 days per week)
Actual: 53.3% (3.73 days per week)

Monthly Notes:
Even with all the ups and downs and not hitting my monthly NO S compliance goal, I've still lost about 10 pounds in 7 weeks just being mindful in trying to follow NO S guidelines as much as possible, and exercise for my health. I have given up very little in my normal eating, and have plenty of NO S failures, but I have noticed that my habit of failing addictively (i.e. binge eating) has calmed down quite a bit.

Overall, I am really glad I decided to begin logging again... the bottom line is that I have been eating way too much for the first part of 2024, and reestablishing the habit of quantifying daily success/failure these last 6 weeks has helped me to be more mindful about/take ownership of what/how much I eat.

ladybird30 · Post by **ladybird30** » Fri Jun 14, 2024 3:38 am

Hi Simmstone, overcoming my addictive eating behaviour was the key for me, although I didn't think of it in quite those terms at the time. It has been a long and slow process, but has gradually got better with with practice and with the right strategies.

oolala53 · Post by **oolala53** » Mon Jun 17, 2024 4:56 am

Gillian Riley was good reinforcement for me along the way.

If I may, remember why you are choosing this WOE. Getting clear that the alternatives just aren't supportive for long term pleasure and vitality can really help, though you may have to remind yourself many times. I wrote a long list of benefits I thought I would get from this plan and a lot of them had nothing to do with weight loss. If losing weight alone worked, no one would regain.
see if you can figure out for YOU how systematic moderation will give you something you can't get from your old eating nor alternatives. Write it down and look at it often! The survival drive towards overeating can operate at all hours of the day. Combat it with the prefrontal cortex a few times, too.

Best wishes for these efforts and for diving into life in between meals!

How had you been doing between October and January? You had a full green week in January! February is kind of fun cuz it can be “perfect” in just the four weeks.
