Wow! Where has the time gone? It's already the 23rd. My last check in was the 1st.

Well, I stuck to no-sing on vacation. The only day I slipped up was the 16th and I ate some wheat thins...hummmmm I could have probably picked something a bit better?

I can't say I went overboard on anything. In ...

Hi,

I use Friday and Saturday as a No S days and it works great for me. Friday is the end of a work week and at 4:00 it's time to let it all hang out. I don't cook on Friday so my family and I go out for dinner most Friday evenings. Saturday any thing goes. I may cook or we may go out but I know I ...

Welcome Wren! I'm pretty new to no-sing myself. I joined in Feb. and, although I haven't shed tons of weight, no-sing has helped me develop some new and positive habits. Good Luck!

caroleann

Thanks for the incentive! :D I'm in! This may be just what I need to perk up a bit as I have been feeling pretty Blahhh.
I am starting at 160lbs... just weighed myself this morning. Carole

Hi, I'm here! I did really well on vacation, the 10th - 17th; only one red day...I ate some wheat thins as a ...

It's Friday but Im too tired to smile. I went to bed before 9:30 and woke up tired :x I kept pressing the snooze button and didn't get up to exercise :x Technically it is an S day for me so I won't beat myself up about the exercise and I'll try to get some in today.

Went to my sons wrestling ...

caroleann

My modifications are few and I have to keep it that way.......the fence must remain securely around rules or I will fail, hands down.

I always have a salad with my dinner in a separate bowl..no dressing mixing with my other foods....yuck!

Not really a mod but a tip. I no longer set the additional ...

Hard to get up this morning but managed to get up in time to at least ride my bike for 20min. :D Funny... at the weight loss challenge meeting the coach ...

Don't beat yourself up about failures. Reinhard says that you should expect to have some. Just keep trying to change those habits and don't give up. Did you buy the book? They have some available at Amazon. God luck! Caroleann

caroleann

You can do it! It's day 28 for me and it's changed my life. Did you start up your habitcal to track your success? It's kinda neat and it keeps you involved. Good luck! Caroleann

Hi,

People keep telling me I look like I'm losing weight but when I get on the scale it doesn't show that I lost much. People say I am probably losing inches. How can you lose inches without losing a significant amount of weight???
I know Reinhard doesn't put much stock in scales and I try not to ...

caroleann

I guess people don't understand the concept of habit changing. My life has changed because of no-sing. I'll be sure to give it a good report on Amazon. :D

Oh, by the way, I am passing the information along at work and I have quite a few people that have grasped and are using the concept. I will be ...

caroleann

I have heard that you should stop eating when you're 80% full. This may mean not eating everything on your plate. This may rid you of the very full feeling when you stand. When you sit down to eat, remember that feeling and that may encourage you to eat just the bit less, knowing that you'll feel ...

caroleann

Remember, moderation is the key. I know I kept weight on because of the sugar (too much) in my coffee. I tried sweetners but they aren't sugar. Well, I gave up coffee because it just didn't taste good. Now I will treat coffee as a sweet and I will have it on s days with sugar and cream. :D

I'm ...

caroleann

:) It's Wednesday,

I'm back on track. I really don't think that I will shed as many lbs as I wanted to before Fla. trip. Peolpe say I look like I have lost weight but the scale is not showing it showing. they say you're probably losing inches. :? I am not sure how this inches thing works?? How can ...

caroleann

Thanks for the links!

caroleann

Cassie,

I guess the moral support is something eveyone needs. I do go to a group myself. It's kind of a weight loss competition. The leader gives us all kinds of nutrition and weight loss information to read and then we discuss it at our meetings.

caroleann

Friday and Saturday I didn't do so bad with The Ss. I had about 10 girl scout cookies-thin mints and a couple of spice drops. I messed up on Sunday :cry: . It wasn't horrible but I missed lunch and ate some girl scout, shortbread cookies.

B=Special K

caroleann

Welcome Cassie,

Good luck with no-sing and the new baby!

I have a question. Are you paying the nutritionist or is it paid for by insurance. In the case where you're paying for it, remember that you know what's good for you. You just have to think about it. I am not an expert but I suggest you ...

caroleann

Thanks everyone for the words of wisdom. I thought it was a bunch of bull. I eat lots of fruits and veggies and have no problems. You are right about them wanting money. Not only do they want money but they're over priced. I bought some Kellog protein drink mix at the grocery. It cost me 3 something ...

caroleann

:lol: It's Friday and it's day 21!!!! :lol:

I'll tell you this no-sing has not been very difficult for me. I feel better (emotionally, physically and mentally) than I have felt in a very, very long time. Out of all the changes I am making and new habits I am forming I'm not quite sure what's doing ...

caroleann

Deb, We'll miss your input. Hope you feel better so you can get back on track. Carole Ann

Hello out There,

:oops: Kind of an embarassing topic but here goes.

Has anyone ever practiced digestive track cleasing? I am going to a weight loss support group which is hosted by a Herbal Life rep. We just read an article about cleasing and she swears by it. Of course she wants to sell herbal ...

Day 20

Things going well. I even got on my bike for 20 min. last night.

No coffee this am. I am not giving up coffee but I am taking a break from it, it just hasn't been tasting good. Since I have changed my morning routine: out of bed exercise, shower etc then down stairs, I have not been ...

caroleann

I agree!

Up til the time I started no-sing, I was really lazy. I just couldn't make myself do anything. I had a hard time getting up in the morning and wanted to go to bed very early.... 7:00pm.

When I started exercising along with no-sing. I began feeling more energetic. I am even waking up ...

caroleann

:| It is day 19.

It was hard to get out of bed as the weather is taking it's toll. Rain for 3 1/2 days and now it's cold. Just wanted to stay in a nice warm bed but I did it. I got up and excercised and got on with my morning.

B=bowl of special K
L=sandwich and cup fruit. Got full pretty fast
D ...

caroleann

I'm glad there are other's out there. I wish there was away to get all the voices of people who are offended by this together. I wonder if there is some political group that voices this concern to the government?

caroleann

Its Tuesday. I said I wouldn't get on a scale but I did yesterday and it showed that I lost 6 pounds!

Something I forgot to do was to list the goodies/snacks I had over the week end. This is the truth. I had 3 chocolate chip cookies, popcorn and shared a coke.

B=Oatmeal
L=sandwich and fruit ...

caroleann

:lol: Thanks Emily. but I managed to keep Friday a No S day. I was busy enough to manage without a snacks, sweets or seconds. I did have my pizza though and didn't go wild. Only two 1/2 slices of pizza (?) (it was hard to really tell how much pizza as it was cut differently..not in triangles) it had ...

caroleann

Hi,

:x :x I was watching TV last night between 7:00 and 8. Not sure what station but Smallville was on. More than likely a show that kids would be watching. The show seemed clean but the commercials were terrible....previews of up coming movies with plently of sex and such and certainly rated R or ...

caroleann

:lol: It's Friday!!!!!! Today I decided that I am changing my S days around. I am swapping Suday for Friday. Friday is a fun day and deserves treats and such. I will stay with my no S schedule of health and portioned in the morning and afternoon but come the evening, I am going to treat myself ...

caroleann

Reneew,

I feel your pain! I absolutely adore PIZZA and I can eat and eat and eat it. Good luck with lent. Know that I am there with ya!

caroleann

Wow Kathleen! I love your weight record and the fact that it is monthly and not daily. I think I'll add this to my check in.

I had tears in my eyes after I read your story about the banquet. I know how you feel. The same reason I haven't gone to a class reunion. I don't want people to say, "Boy she ...

caroleann

Hi Gina,

I am new too. I wish you the best of luck!

I have one piece of information for you. I am also hungry alot and like Reinhard says that's good and we should be. I agree with him. To keep myself from snacking and overeating when it comes to meal time I drink a Special K protein drink. I ...

caroleann

Hi Reinhard
I thought somewhere you mentioned that you were a smoker. How did you quit and have thought about developing a habit system for smoking? Would certainly appreciate some suggestions.

caroleann

:?
Okay, No exercise this morning. Too cold and I couldn't get out of bed. I'll have time tonite to do 20min and I just might do a little DDR
Went to weigh in yesterday. HAhaha....I lost a whopping 2 oz. I will now check in daily and write every bite I have consumed.

B=oatmeal and 1/2 banana
L=4 ...

caroleann

I know what is like to eat because it's on your plate. I am happy for you that you were able pass up the fries! Congradulations!

caroleann

Don't give up. Remember what you said, focus I what you can have and not what you can't." that really is good advice and I think I will use it!

caroleann

Keep pushing on. I see you are a teacher. I am too and I know how stressful it can be! Rather than eating, why don't you treat yourself to a nonfood item and take a mental health day far away from the classroom!

caroleann

:oops: Boy, my math is awful. It has been ten days!

I have given up sugar in my coffee and getting used to it. I am getting up early, I exercise and have breakfast.

I got on a scale yesterday and wish I hadn't as no weight loss was what the numbers showed.

I have been exercising for 20 minutes ...

caroleann

Seven days and feeling great!!!!

caroleann

Well, here it is the weekend. I have made it 6 days

and I am feeling great! I haven't been overly hungry and my energy has increased. although there was one day when the jelly spice drops looked really appealingl

caroleann

Good luck! But don't be afraid that it's not going to workbefore you start...it sounds self defeating. Dive in, be determined and don't give up!
I just started myself and now I am serious about losing weight and getting in a healthy habit. Just the other day, when we were discussing exercise, a ...

caroleann

Thanks everyone. It's nice to know that there is support out there. I guess I just hope to establish some good habits before I go. Getting back into the habit of exercising again wasn't too hard...In fact, I forgot how good it feels. This, for me, is the most important aspect. I hope nothing happens ...

caroleann

This is funny. I just started no-Sing and vowed I would begin using artificial sweetners in my coffe. Are you stopping because they are supposedly bad? Right now I am using splenda. I really don't like it and I am hoping I'll just lose interest. I do remember a time when I didn't even drink coffee ...

caroleann

Hi Lindalou,

Good Luck! I just started no sing the day you restarted. I think we have a very similar problem. I am 5'0 at 160. At our height it is very difficult to hide any extra pounds. I have also found that I have to work harder to keep it off than anyone else. Sometimes this, in and of itself ...

caroleann

Okay, this is my 3rd day. My goal is to get in the habit and lose what ever weight I can before I go to a much needed trip to FLA during Easter break. Does anyone have some words of wisdom? Caroleann
