Hi, I agree, scales are evil.

I was doing exactly what you say you are doing. I was so excited by the initial weight loss that I just couldn't stay off of the scale. Of course when it inevitabley stopped moving it had a huge psychological effect on me. I struggled after that to even stay on the ...

I have been chugging along with No S for the last few weeks. No 21 day club yet, but I still want it. Since I have stopped obsessively checking in, I have lost 2 pounds, and stayed mostly within the diet guide lines. I like to check in every day so that I can watch my progress (or lack of) but I was ...

I took a break from the obsessiveness I had for this diet. No surprise, but it seemed to help. No, I have'nt made the 21 day club yet, but I am still trying daily.

The Honeymoon is Over

My first two weeks on this program were effortless. I was smugly assuming that by finding this program, I had already conquered my weight problem. The first two weeks were so easy, and I lost 4 pounds. Sure, everyone said that this was a slow process, but I went ahead and did the math anyway. (You ...

There were a lot of good ideas posted. Here's something else to think about. If you do decide to write a budget, you will probably notice that most of it goes toward fixed costs (ie $700 to mortgage or rent, $300 to insurance) every month. You have to pay those or you are in big trouble ...

If you are miserably hungry between meals, eat more during your mealtimes. Through trial and error, you'll figure out what feels you up.
