I don't think syrups in coffee count as a failure. Even soda is allowed between meals. However, I think soda is a bad idea. Have you tried sugar-free coffee syrups? That is what I use. Vanilla and Cinnamon Dulce are great and have zero calories.

I want to chime in and say that many women (and men) binge like this because of emotions -- myself included -- you are not alone. I am sorry to hear about your broken engagement. I think that posting what you have eaten in your "accountability" post will be helpful to you. Knowing that I have to ...

Breakfast: 2 pieces peanut butter toast with coffee

Peanut M & M's!!!!!!!!!
Dinner: Nothing

I can not believe I did it. It was day 22. PMS is killing me right now. What a poor choice! Atleast I wasn't hungry for dinner.

I think that is a great attitude. It is amazing to think about how much I used to eat at times. It is a form of greed, I think.

Good for you!

Thanks. The first phase nutrition program is heavy on lean protein and light on carbs. There are 3 phases. I think I may have to have a small snack before my workout if I do it in the a.m., but I am not sure. I guess if I have to, I will just make sure it is minimal. I am excited b/c P90X is so ...

Wow! Your progress is fantastic. 7.5 lbs! I am hoping to lose 3 or 4 this month. Our weights are similar. How tall are you?

I bought a new scale after Christmas and it weighs about 5 or 6 pounds more than my old expensive Health-o-meter. I'm still not sure which is correct. My doctor's scale weighs ...

I briefly looked at your menus.

First, you are not eating obscene amounts. However, what stood out to me were these three things that are likely prohibiting weight loss:

1. You drink juice and milk quite often. Juice is about 100+ calories per glass and so is milk.

2. You seem to have 2 slices ...

This is my second time doing No S. My first time was successful and I believe I am having some success this time, as well.

I have issues with bingeing on sweets and bread and I am quite sure that is the only reason I ever gain extra weight. No S helps with this behavior --- which I am guessing you ...

sounds like you are continuing to learn a lot. And you can have new preferences as time goes on and new strengths.

If your family doesn't care, skip the b'day cake. It sounds like it's not important to you, and it isn't important to your body. I'd take advantage of any of those tastes, or lack of ...

I took a NWS (Special Day) yesterday. It was my father-in-law's birthday. At lunch I was still trying to decide whether or not I would take a Special Day, but I could tell that the celebration was going to last all day. I am still torn as to whether I should have taken the day.

Shannon,
You and I sound a lot alike. I love Vanilla Coke Zero -- have you tried it?

Thanks for the response. I think we get on the same schedule as our kids and it makes us snack more. I hate that the schools have 1 or 2 snacktimes/day, as well. I don't think anyone needs that much food!!
