Everyday Systems

HI Guys,

8) That is so cool about the colors, i have experienced that also during massage, i didnt know what it was, other than maybe euphoria. Reminded me of being on an Acid trip LOL :oops: 70's flashback

Deb, i have interpreted dreams for friends and you hit that ride on the head. I believe we ...

Hi Deberoo

I like Fritos too! I have recently noticed also that more packages are labeling them if they dont have them, honestly i rarely buy packaged snacks, so its not an issue once ina awhile to have them.
As Rein said its a side effect of this EP, so its automatically taken care of if you are ...

Thanks Reinhard,

I think success can be measured in so many ways when it comes to weight loss, not just pounds or inches lost. Healthy habits I believe are the key to keeping it off for life, so I feel that i am already successful in that I am conquering the bad habits I've had, of mindless ...

Hi Everyone,

:D I know its been awhile, thank goodness noone keeps track around here.. I am still NOSng, have had alot going on, our business is booming, so the stress level is rising, but on a good note personal areas of my life are much better. :) .. enough about that !

I am pretty much ...

HI Jetii

Welcome,

I eat out quiet a bit too, i just stick to the one plate rule with no vertical stacking, i eat til i am full then box the rest for lunch the next day. Hard to do on the road though. I would rather leave it on the plate than take it ALL home on my thighs! LOL

Really concentrate ...

Hi Deberoo,

That is very cool, glad i inspired you. We went out for ice cream the other night and i was determined to get something really decadent- coconut almond chocolate chunk. i tasted it first so i wouldnt waste my money lol

keep it up gf

Yeah Jan

That is so great- and even better you will have the habits under your belt for good so hopefully will never see those 8# again.

HI CV

Even though there is no rule against it having 3 + meals, maybe you could just leave some on your plate. Eat til you are full then stop, if you arent sure you are full, get up from the table, press at the top of your stomache lightly, if it feels uncomfortable i stop.
For some people they ...

Hi Ida,
Thought I would chime in here, in hopes to encourage you.
Diet Drinks are allowed on this EP so please be kind to yourself, if having a diet soda keeps you from binging on say that choc bar, then my goodness have it gf.
I was once a Diet Pepsi addict, had to have several everyday or I ...

HI Jan,

Glad to inspire anyone i can, and i am actually down 1 more pound.
Yeah me ! :D I have along way to go, but it is steadily coming off.

So here we are looking at another SSS'n weekend and i want to encourage everyone to be picky about what they indulge in.
MAKE IT EXTRA SPECIAL. Raise ...

Welcome to the newcomers!


All this talk of sweets made me remember what happened when my DH and i went out to eat at a very nice restuarant called Tommy Bahamas on Saturday night. we were both really looking forward to a nice evening, good food etc.. and since this was an S day i was going to ...

HI Jan,

Glad its easy for you, thats wonderful ! For some people it just clicks, but like Reinhard said- 3 weeks til a habit is formed- and i agree- dont let your guard down.
It is a lifestyle change- but one that isnt obvious to people unlike some of the crazy diets we have all been on at one time ...

Hi Ruth,

Welcome to NOS. You are so exactly right on. No decisions to be made except what to enjoy eating. Isnt it wonderful- freedom to enjoy eating again( in moderation) without keeping track. When i mention this EP to people it usually always resonates with them too.
Most of us here have been ...

Hi Jan :) They are absolutely okay- I love the apricot one by polaner. i actually found that one when i was on another diet years ago. just keep being smart- checking those labels- remember we aren't counting carbs or anything for that matter so just avoid the fructose-sucrose etc...those oses are ...

ahh you cute newbies- as someone once put it- take care of the N days and the s days will take care of themselves- remember N-days are for being comically strict so s days can be just that- free of strictness- dont worry yourselves about putting everything back on you lost over the week-it probably ...

:) Ok so i tried the pyramid put in my info- what a joke- doesnt even ask for your weight. what if i had weighed 300# I would have looked at the amounts they gave me and croaked. what was funny is that i am pretty much doing the suggested amount for a woman my age and exercise level

What a big ...

HI Jan,

We have all been there- i ate comically way too much the first week i was so afraid of getting hungry between meals. When i think about what i used to eat for lunch and what i eat now- its hysterical. :lol:

R. is right the beginning is the hardest but do as he says- be comically strict ...

HI,

Im not sure of your name but wanted you to know you are right on about kids self image and self control-
My 14 yo daughter started this with me last October and has done much better than her mom has done. she has gone from a size 14 womens to a junior size 7- she is 5'8 and weighs now 145 ...

HI Everyone

I am finally back- its me Julie- if you hadnt figured it out yet LOL

Had to get a new name etc.. as the old one wouldnt work- but thats okay as eternalrock is a thing of the past for me very soon now. so anyway it will take me a bit to figure this out, gotta get some dinner now- very ...
