Everyday Systems

Thanks for all of the responses. I love hearing about people still in the 'flush' of the first year, as well as those who have been NoSing for years.

Janie: 'playing Jenga with my plate'---priceless! :lol:

I have not been NoSing long enough to get to my goal weight. HOWEVER, as part of the reasonableness of NoS, I have set my goal weight at a reasonable level--140 lbs. In the past, I have set it at 118 (why is that the ideal number in my mind ...

NoS is going great. I have been reading all of the past posts (wheww!!) As I have read names that come and go I have wondered, how long have the active members here been posting on the board? And related, how long have you been NoSing?

Well, I've been on NoS for 5 weeks yesterday, and have lost 5 lbs. I can't believe it!

I am post-menopausal, 56 years old, with severe thyroid problems, and a bunch of other stuff that makes it hard for me to lose. And yet, I am losing!

I was especially surprised this week because my weekend was ...

I'm a member now! Yesterday was 21 days all green, no red. Yay! I have several neat things that happened in the last few days. You can read about them on Threadbenders Check In.

Yay! I have lost 3.4 lbs, and am reallllyyy happy with NoS.

Cathy B

Yay! :P Yesterday was Day 21 on plan. All green, no red! And I have lost 3.4 lbs. That is amazing for me, because I am one of the 4% that has physical reasons for not losing weight. Yay me!

I wasn't certain I would lose this week, as we went out to dinner with friends Sunday night and I ate 5 ...

I just loooove the term Carcass Soup!

Janie, thanks for the commendation. I have been following your check in posts, and have truly been enjoying your journey. I find it so encouraging!

Cathy B

Yesterday was my 14th day on NoS. I am lovin' it! I weighed myself today and have lost another .6 lbs. Yay!

I think your attitude is great! You see what you need to do without blaming the NoS plan.

NoS does seem the most common sense plan out there, and one that we CAN tweak to fit what we need without freaking out.

Keep on keepin' on!

Today was great, too! I had to go to Tucson (again!) for a dental appointment. My sister and I stopped at Macaroni Grill for lunch. I had a lunchtime special of World Chopped Salad with vinegrette, and Carmen's Pasta (pasta, bacon, chicken, grilled onions, a light sauce). Both items came to 3/4 of a ...

Okay, yesterday was an N day, and I was doing fine. Then I had to drive hubby to Tucson (about an hour drive) right before dinner. I had a small panic attack, but then realized 'I can eat at any place there!' We ended up at In N Out burger place. I had a cheeseburger, shared hubby's fries, and drank ...

LadyJ, you crack me up!

Cathy B

I'm liking the little hunger feeling, too! It lets me know that I am NOT snacking all day long, like I used to.

I now have a NoS blog! It is at:

Day 7-September 12, 2011--Success

I weighed myself today. Down 1.2 lbs. Yay! I had expected to gain after my 'Drink All the Soda in Arizona' S days this weekend!

One of the things I like best about NoS is the framework for eating. When I have less choices to make, my emotional eating is less.

I look for other ways of dealing with it. Exercise is the best for me. Get those old endorphins rolling in the brain, and things seem better. I am currently doing 30 ...

My Perfect will be Vanilla NoS for the week. All green! And 30 minutes on the treadmill Mon-Fri.

Days 5 & 6- S Days

Well, I did my weekend S days. I drank lots of soda, snacked, and had ice cream and zucchini bread.

I couldn't wait to get back to NoS days! The zucchini bread and the first soda were great. The other stuff was 'eh'. Even the Cherry Garcia ice cream was not as great as it ...

Planning is great! I also PLAN (snicker!) to make certain that my S day stuff is Worthy.

For example, I just got back from town, doing errands. While at the hardware store I saw the local Wendy's. I thought 'oooh, I can go there for lunch for my S day!' Then I thought "Wait a minute! I can go there ...

We don't have satellite or cable because of the cost. One month's fees will more than fill our gas tank, and we have a big van!

Hubby and I watch dvds and old vhs tapes. We do have the tv on almost every night, and sometimes during the day.

Hubby is a 'just watch the show' kinda guy. I CANNOT ...

Oolala, I read about the power outage. Is everything back on now?

Sorry that the Yuma power station caused the problem. (I live in Arizona!)
Operator error, evidently. How can they not have redundant systems to prevent such a thing?

Take care!

NoS: Success
Exercise: Success

Thanks for the welcome! I bought the book when it first came out, but I guess I wasn't ready for it. I did a slew of low-carb diets, but found they weren't sustainable. Big surprise, huh?

Now I am ready, and have really enjoyed the first few days on NoS. I have ...

Thurs NoS: Success

I also did my 30 minutes on the treadmill.

As background info, I lost 70 lbs. before this over the last 18 months by the doctor regulating my thyroid meds. I stalled out at about 180-185 lbs. Have been there for 3 months, so decided I need a boost. Here I am!

I have Hashimoto ...

I know this was posted years ago, but the pics and commentary are so funny!

I knew there was a reason WW didn't work for me!

Hi all! This is my first post, first checkin. I started NoS on Tuesday of this week, so today is my 3rd day.

Wednesday September 7 2011-- Success

It has been interesting to me that my problem is not seconds (I am full after my plate), but snacks and sweets ...
