Week 5
No Change this week, but still on No s and exercising. Not a surprise, I always plateau and lose slowly, but still happy with this plan.

Now: 168 lb - Waist 31.25 in

mime

Week 4

I'm in a holding pattern this week, kept my weight at 168. Was a good No S diet week, I lifted weights and did some aerobic workouts. The weather is beautiful, so I am doing yard work too.

Start: 172 lb - Waist 32 in
Now: 168 lb - Waist 31.25 in

Like your graphed weight loss! You've done so well and really have been sticking with your plan.

I've just hit my 21 days on my NO S restart, after a 3 yr. hiatus.
Started March 13th, 2011 and 21 days later have lost 4 lbs. (which is great for me, a slow loser)

I am always browsing for new dark chocolate to try on my S days. There are many new flavors out there, and of course my husband enjoys them all the time. Found a Lindt intense mint dark chocolate bar for this weekend and it was the best! I only had a few squares, but that is all that was needed. My ...

Week 3

This was a good week, did NO S diet M-Fri, hit my 21 day mark this week. I lifted weights and exercised 3x this week and also did a walk. Lost one pound, which is great, I have always been a slow loser since I've gotten older.

So for 3 weeks I've lost 4 pounds on NO S, this is better than ...

Thanks for posting your success! It is great motivation for others, plus it is great to share success. I really like that you posted your monthly weight loss, it shows how much loss can vary month to month.

Count me in as a stressed, bored, sad, happy eater. I use food to deal with everything. My first day back on No S diet really brought this to home, it was such a hard day, I realized I constantly reach for food. I had to keep catching myself and did resort to chewing sugarless gum to get me through ...

Week 2

All I can say is that I'm ecstatic to have broken the 170's, I am 169 this week! I haven't been in the 160's for a decade, and for me it is breaking a big barrier. I wasn't sure I could do it, I have gotten close, but just never got there.

Start: 172 lb - Waist 32 in
Now: 169 lb - Waist 31 ...

Thanks for the post!
I guess I left out that I am walking or using the elliptical and doing weights.

Week 1 - (Fresh Restart 3/13/2011) (sorry if this is long)
Hi,
I have been away for a few years (3 yrs.) When I look at my posts from 2008 (pretty nice that they are still there) I see I really stalled out. It was a stressful time with a death in the family and then the holidays and other life ...

Week 27
Oops, I had a gain this week of 2.5 lbs. I can't complain, I had four failure days-- my fault. It is like Thanksgiving triggered an overeating spree and an attitude that I screwed up so I might as well screw up more. I'm at the point that I overdid it so much that most food doesn't look too ...

Week 26
I had a 1/2 lb weight loss. Not a bad week, but I traveled over the holidays leading to a red day on Friday & Monday. I am sticking with NOS & walking.

Present: 171.5
Oct 27, 2008 : 175 lb - Restart NOS/walking after 8 week "break"
May 28, 2008: 181 lb - Discovered & Started NOS & continue ...

Week 25
Hi, Thanks Blueskighs for the compliment. I had another good NOS week, all green days and walked 4 days, plus had one aerobic dance session, but I am still at 172lb. I believe in "set points." In the past I have been at weights that I have stuck to whether I ate healthy or indulged. Actually ...

mime

Week 24
I had a great week, but with no weight loss. I had all green days & did my walking. You would think I would be upset without weight loss for 2 weeks, but I feel so good & healthy. I think back that I haven't weighed 172 lb since over 6 years ago, and how I never thought I could be successful ...

mime

Week 23
I had no loss this week, but I had a great walking week. I am starting to add intervals to my walking to make it more interesting & give me more of a workout. I really enjoyed doing that. I had 2 NOS failure days this week.

Now: 172 lb - Waist 30.75 in
Restart: 10/27/2008 (175 lb - Waist 31 ...

Week 22
I had a good week back with a 3lb weight loss. I did my walking, but haven't fit in any strength training as of now. The first day back was rough, because I got used to a lot of snacking, but after the 1st 24hrs, my habits seemed to fall in place. I even made it through Halloween without ...

Week 14-21
Hi! I had stopped Nos, but have been walking occasionally and my diet has been regular without binges. I did have a heavy eating period due to a vacation, but I am actually happy I didn't gain excessively. I am 2.5 pounds more than week 13, but my waist is the same. I am ready to recommit ...

Week 13
I have lost a 1/2 lb this week. This week was a mixed week. I walked 6 days this week, which felt great and I am so glad to be back with that habit. A hour walk an evening beats a hour spent in front of the TV!

I had one failure day with my NOS plan this week. I need to start anew for ...

mime

Week 12
I am doing well with NOS this week, had one special day where I just had a slice of cake, but otherwise was NOS. I am getting my walking habit back on track and will start my weight routine next week. I have not lossed weight this week, but my hip measurement is the smallest it has been - so ...

mime

Week 10 & 11
Thanks for your kind words Laguna. I hope I can offer encouragement. I am getting back into NOS, I have been out of town living out of a suitcase due the family situation I mentioned. I didn't follow the NOS plan while gone, I had no routine going, but I think the NOS plan kept me ...

Week 9
No changes this week. I have slipped on walking & exercise and today was my first failure day on NOS eating plan after two months.
I will need to get a bit back on track, A stressful extended family event is now occurring, and it is hard to be in a routine. That is why the exercise is ...

Week 8
Thank you Joelle for words of encouragement! Moving out of the obese category meant a lot to me. I was shocked when I realized I was considered obese, but then this is part of my past denial system. I was just looking over old photos from the last two years and am surprised how large I was ...

Week 7
I had a 1.5 lb loss and I am really happy, things are slow but my weight is dropping and my hips & legs are losing inches faster than my waist. Things have been busy lately, but I am sticking to my NOS plan. I had one special "S" day this week that went well -- it is my first "S" day that ...

mime

Week 6
I am holding steady this week, nothing lost, nothing gained. I might not have lost weight or inches this week, but I feel thinner! My celebration this week is that I need to buy new clothes. My goal is to go through my closet now and toss all the big and baggy things.

Start: 181 lb - Waist ...

Thanks Blueskighs!!

Great idea! July will be a more challenging month with the 4th and other summer picnics -- great to have a challenge to join in!

Week 5
I lost 1lb this week and the most exciting thing is that when I plug my weight & height into online BMI calculators, I am no longer in the "obese" category!! I am now just plain overweight! Another good thing that happened this week is that my bad cholesterol is now in normal range.

I am ...

I have found that, for the most part, it isn't the Scale that people don't like,
it is the Truth that the scale reflects.

I think this statement was true of me, when I didn't like what I saw on the scale, I would think this is just too stressful and stop using the scale. Not wanting to use the ...

We are not a No S household, but I notice by osmosis my husband is being influenced. I have noticed when he shops, he now passing up buying chips at the store (his favorite snack food). When we have dinner I frequently hear him say "I've had enough", and pass up on seconds. I haven't said a thing to ...

Hi Jocelyn,
Everyone is different, but I am a coffee lover. I have 2-3 skim milk latte's a day that I make at home with an inexpensive express/cappuccino machine ($59 Krupp machine). I am able to control the amount of milk I add, and have made a point to reduce the amount. I top my coffee with ...

I believe everyone has to find what works for them, and for me it daily weighing. I have gone for periods where I have tried not weighing, and inevitably these are the times I put on weight. I have a tremendous denial system and my clothes stretch! Even on one of my past eating plans that was based ...

Week 4
This week went well, except for a sore knee that curtailed my walking and weight lifting. I have to remember moderation in everything. I upped my weights on my leg exercises too rapidly and now am paying for it with an aching knee!

I had a great week for weight loss, losing 2.5 lbs. It ...

Week 3
No changes in my weight or waistline this week and I have to admit I am disappointed. I am sticking to the diet plan well, but I just discovered that I am doing it slightly wrong. I was browsing the forum and saw there is a one plate rule; to be honest I haven't read much except the basic ...

First 21 days reached! Four pound weight loss.

Week 2
I lost a 1/2 lb this week, so my total loss so far is 4lbs. I am very happy and it hasn't been a struggle. It has been an adjustment! On my first exception day, Saturday, I kind of felt entitled to snack or that I should snack. At the end of the day I wished it was just a NOS day!! I had ...

Thanks for the welcome CrazyCatLady! Blueskighs I enjoyed looking at your blog, I am going to try the curried egg salad sandwich this weekend.

Yesterday was a good NOSDiet day. Had a great 1 hour walk in the evening, and I enjoyed 3 meals. My husband made popcorn last night. The popcorn smell was ...

Hi,
I am scared to start posting, afraid of failure, but this plan seems so common sense that I am planning to make it my life's eating plan. I have gradually added weight the last 24 yrs, after my first baby. It is long past calling this post baby weight!! I have tried The South Beach ...
