Everyday Systems

Skycat -- your S days look so wonderfully sane. I wish I could say that about my first S days this past weekend.

S day number 1 was pretty decent. I ate some pretty S type foods (hello donuts) but not so much of them.

S day number 2 was pretty crazy. And I didn't feel so good last night or this morning. Back at it for this N day so hopefully the nausea will wear off. Tried to be moderate yesterday, but just ...

Food for yesterday N day:

B: sausage/egg/cheese muffin and banana and coffee

L: big oatmeal with rolled oats, small handfuls of blueberries, raisins, coconut, slivered almonds and a little maple syrup for sweetener and milk. Plus 4 slices bacon

D: out with friends and so proud of myself for ...

Day 5 SUCCESS

Now on to my first S days!

Well, I'm new too, so this is just my 2 cents. :D

1. I think you can virtual plate for items that you don't actually want on one plate. I've already had to do this even though it is my first week. Went out to eat last night and the salad came first. So I did the best i could visualizing the size ...

You are doing great! I'm particularly impressed with your very mild S days. Going into my first S weekend, I'm a little nervous!!

Congratulations on a great month and seeing the scale going down!

Welcome, Buttercup! I'm new here. Today is Day 5 for me. I've never been a huge snacker except once a day in the late afternoon. But so far this week, I've been eating enough at lunch and eating a little later lunch, both which have helped to tide me over to dinner. Best of luck to you!!

I'm new here too. Just wanted to chime in and wish you the best in restarting!

Sky cat-- I agree. My meals are pretty much the same. Maybe a little smaller because I'm not having seconds of the bread or starchy portion. And definitely no sweets where I would have had chocolate or candy with my meals.
I just feel like I'm gaining weight -- kind of bloated feeling even. Which ...

Day 4 GREEN

B: Starbucks sausage egg cheese muffin, banana, coffee with cream
L: 2 chicken fajitas (tortillas, chicken, bell peppers, cheese)
D: ate out. Had to virtual plate because salad came first. Also had steak, mashed potatoes, and a small piece of bread. Plate was average size so that was ...

Remy-- I noticed some people start their S days on Friday evening. I don't think I will at this point but maybe in the future. Sorry on the baguette... that would be tough to resist.

The first four days have been GREEN .

So far my meals have been fairly big and filling. I'm using 8.5 inch plates and sticking to 3 plates. I haven't been hungry and nothing really tempting me to snack. But I also feel like "How could I possibly lose weight on this?"

Yesterday was:

B: Kefir ...

Thanks whosonfirst! I am working on daily walks or a minimum of 10000 steps per day! Hopefully it helps!!

Hi Everyone! I am new here although I've read about NoS in the past but not attempted it. I'm currently on Day 3 and had 2 successful days.

I am 42, 3 kids (12, 10, 4), and would like to lose 10-15 pounds. My BMI is just in the healthy range for my height -- 24.9, but I feel more comfortable at a ...

I'm new here too and am planning to start a checkin thread. Congrats on a good Day 1!

I wanted to reply because I did 2 Whole 30s last year -- one in January and one in July! I lost 9 pounds and somehow have managed to keep those nine pounds off, but I would like to lose another 10. And I just can ...
