Oh, I'm with you! I will, however, along with some others refrain from posting my menus, but only because I so hate to keep track of everything. I will be thrilled to cheer everyone on, and come here for support. I need to come back later to read everything, 'cause dinner is ready and hubby is ...

Am having a very painful and tiring day today because of fibro (big weather change). What is so amazing to me is that I don't use a flare-up as an excuse to deviate from the No S plan.

Am going to see an acupuncturist for fibro and HBP.

I feel so free because No S is now my normal way to eat.

DianeA2Z

I really enjoyed reading all the posts on this thread! I love my S days (well, I pretty much love my No S days too)! I remember my first S weekend, and I was looking for a dessert treat at a market...everything had lots of chemicals in it or...high fructose corn syrup...my new worst 4-letter word ...

Day 30

An S day! Bagels for breakfast! (two this time, I'm getting better

Baked oatmeal w/fruit for lunch and then a "treat"/pre-dinner snack... a slice of strawberry-rhubarb pie. Not so balanced, but oh so good!

Another day on-habit! No exercise today...I spent most of the day working on the computer, so my fingers have been doing all the walking.

I have come to the realization that hubby's layoff is a gift to us: a gift of time that we hadn't been using to build our business, and the business is what is closest to our hearts.

Wow! Just completed day 28 on habit. I don't remember ever remaining on a "structured" eating plan for 28 straight days prior to No S.

When I get 21 solid days of NoS habit, then I will try having smaller servings and/or switching to smaller plates. I'm torn between wanting to quickly lose weight, and wanting to build lifetime habits. The quick weight loss I've had before with other diets. I want this to be for keeps.

Most men also have a higher rate of metabolism...due to more lean muscle mass. Muscle weighs more but burns more calories.
