Everyday Systems

Hi Darcy, you're one up on most of us - you've realised you have a problem early and you're prepared to do something about it now. Good for you. Shows you have the strength to stick with it. Just take it slow and don't expect amazing results. NoS is slow but sure and definitely asier than most ...

Welcome. Even when you have the occasional 'stray' on NoS, if you stick to it most of the time you'll see results. Slow but sure. It is so simpleand I'm hooked.

Can't believe it's almost a month since my last check in. Makes me aware of how important it is to keep in touch with NoS home and to maintain the support I get from reading all your posts. Can't do it on my own! Even though I haven't been checking in and have been off the rails a bit, every time I ...

Hi Deb,
thanks for your great advice. Your little boy (big boy!) sounds like a sweetie - kids can sure boost your ego. And those gorgeous sayings. My little granddaughter (4 years) says that 'Nanny, I can do that my byself', and she can!
Hope your work situation improves. Wish you were here - you'd ...

Can't believe almost a week's gone by! Thanks guys for your support. Makes a hell of a difference.
Had an off and on kinda week with no exercise, but I seem to have gained back my determination, and had a great day today with a 45 minute walk at the end of it. So back on track!!
Hey Pete, I let my ...

Hi Deb,

You're my inspiration and have to keep check of what you're up to . Glad you're feeling better. I'm have a crap time at the moment but have to keep the old head up, bum down and stick with it. It sure as hell is hard when you're down. But I'm determined to get over the bad bits and get back ...

How do you all cope with the good old bugbear of losing weight - depression - low self esteem. I know this isn't a counselling session but I don't feel that what I experience is bad enough for that. But it doesn't take much to send me to the pits and that's when I look for props - eg food, alcohol ...

since my last checkin I have had a great weekend with family visits, but lots of food and drink - allround great fun. But have hit major low this week, how to cope with depression etc .....
Anyway, I wil keep going and trying but not doing so good. My way of coping with probs is eat/drink etc ...

Good on ya mate. I've had a couple of bad days, but you've inspired me to keep going. I'll wait for a visible change before I post piccies of myself. No point in having a before when I haven't yet got a during!!! or is there?

Keep up the great work Deb, does Reinhardt present gold stars for the ...

Not doing so well today. Failure in fact. But I'll be back on track tomorrow, then S days.
Thanks Pete, vertical stacking on a smaller place is a good idea. It'd be good just to SEE the plate through the food. I'll get there.

YIPEEEEE!!!!! I did it. Now if I can just learn not to vertical stack, I'll be happy. Lost 2.7 kgs in 3 weeks, without really trying. No shovelglove, but walking 4-5 days per week, 4 kms.
Day 22 ...

Stick with it m... I played around with NoS for a few weeks before finally commiting to it. I experimented and took each day as it came until I got used to the idea. Now I've just completed my 21 days and am very happy with the result. It was hard at times, but I was determined, and succeeded. This ...

Good luck Nina. I'm on day 17 and going well. This really is a great way to diet. I've tried them all including WW and had a consult with Jenny Craig at one stage but couldn't afford it or couldn't cope with all that crappy food they try to make you buy. This is a sensible way to do it. I'm ...

Hey Deb, sounds like you're doing really well with all the stress you've been under. Stress brings me undone - I head for the fridge at the slightest sign!! Come to sunny Melbourne and do some walking - it's going to be 40 degrees tomorrow (celcius that is - don't know what equivalent is) I think I ...

Day 16 - Success

Hi 3aday,
I've probably got the same diet books as you, but more of them!!! I think I'll have an E-bay sale and get rid of mine. I'm into day 14 of NoS and all is well - I've been playing around with it for a few weeks and finally decided to get serious. It is great - slow but sure. I'm hooked ...

Can't wait to gain membership to the "My Pants Fell Down" club. I'm working on it. Resisted the most amazing Black Forest Cake with 4 icnhes of chocolate shavings on top, at morning tea this morning.

I resisted Black Forest Cake with a ton of chocolate shavings on top, at morning tea time today. I'm very proud of myself, and it wasn't all that difficult.
Go NoS!

Am very happy with my progress to date. Didn't pig out too much on my S-days.

Hope I'm posting to the right area. Not very good at this.
I have been checking out the No-S website for a few months, and trialling the No-S days occasionally, to see how it works for me. I decided that 9 January was serious No-S beginnings and am now on day 11 and going reasonably well. It's not ...
