I second wosnos on the hunger thing.

Sometimes I have been running and I am soooooo hungry I want to try eating pieces of car bumper! But maybe I have nothing with me, so I have to wait until I get home, then have a shower etc etc. I am still here!

Actually I LOVE being hungry now. I used to snack ...

Ruff

PS.....meals per day.

After big runs, more than say 2 and a half hours, I do eat. I would eat the dog if he would stand still long enough! This makes 4meals. I have a light pre run meal, say, juice and a banana...carbs to fuel the run, and porridge or similar afterwards.

And on mountain trail runs ...

I call it a shuffle. It was my first 'pace' for about 8months. I have a new pace today! They all have names.

The 'soft shoe shuffle' is the first pace. It is a shuffle along and is about the speed of a good brisk walk.

'Trot' is the next pace. I was told years ago a good horse should be able to ...

Hi there, I am an infrequent visitor but I have been following a no s lifestyle for several years now. I used to have a different name but I have no idea what it was. I came back as Ruff (my dog) this year.

For newbies, yes it does work long term, but it helps( I think) if you add exercise and ...

Ruff

I am here...just life has bought up!

Today they came to inspect the damage on my house. The good news they are going to fix it!

The bad news...we have to leave and live somewhere else whilst they do.

The no-s news. After they had gone I was really tired and stressed. i had eaten early because ...

Love this!

Another runner here, training for my first half marathon in September!

I run first thing and eat when i get back during the week.

For longer runs these are normally at the weekend. For doing a half you don't need gels and Gatorade and things like that. (assuming you are a back of the packer here ...

Ruff

Sunday am.

2 hour 3 minute run!

Pancakes here I come!

Ruff

I am very interested in this one.

If you look at the data it would seem that exercising to lose weight is a lost cause, BUT if you look at successful long term dieters they all seem to exercise (apparently...data from the internet)

My experience. I have lost 3 and a half stone. And I run. Lots. I ...

Ruff

Oh well done! Congratulations on the great week. See...you CAN do it! And belated congratulations on the baby as well.

Ruff

Congratulations on the great first week!

Ruff

Hi tobaismom,
Ruff is just a pest! He will not leave me alone until we go for a walk!

Today is Saturday, and hubby and I and Ruff ran for 1 hour 45 minutes, and then came back and ate pancakes with honey and bananas and cream!

So I think that takes care of any calories I may have burned in the ...

Ruff

This is what I think.

I started dieting weight 12 stone 2 pounds (77kg, 169 pounds approx.) I know this because I have the little book they gave me. This was 6 months after my no 2 child (now 21) was born. I was still feeding.

I gave up dieting in October 2011 weighting 16 and a half stone (or ...

Ruff

Aren't nanas great! They seem to think you are going to waste away if they relax their vigilance for one second!

I remember that baby time. I don't think you will be sitting down hands free to a meal anytime soon...and it gets worse as they get older and try to grab everything you are eating!

Mine ...

Hi ironchef, Thank you for popping in. Are you a chef?

Thursday 2nd. Good no s-ing.
Exercise, 4k walk on the beach with a friend and Ruff.

Ruff

I did. I used to eggs and bacon for two meals a day and then iceberg lettuce w/bleu cheese and steak for dinner.

It got old after about 6 months. But, I lost a boat load of weight.

I know, you do lose so much weight, but it simply is not sustainable in the long run....and then we all know what ...

LSA Linsed (flax) Sesame and Almond.

I often use almond flour because it is yummy!

I did...I have even been zero carb....

Lets face it, over the years I have done EVERYTHING! Got fatter every time!

I still eat paleo friendly, and I am gluten free. I have a coeliac son and hubby has gluten induced arthritis. It is easier for us all to be G-F. I make brilliant LSA pancakes!

I agree with eschano.

I used to be painfully skinny.

The big difference between now and then....

THEN if I overate I would go "gosh, I feel uncomfortable, guess I don't need much supper!"

NOW I go "gosh, I overate. Well, I have blown it anyway, might as well eat chocolate ice cream!"

1st August was a great day. No s....no problem!

Also did a 3 mile run.

Today, (2nd) is a rest day fro running, but I am walking on the beach later with my friend and Ruff.

Hi Ironchef (waving at you over the Tasman!)

I normally run in the morning and have breakfast afterwards. This seems to work well for me. I just have a cuppa before I go. If i cannot run in the morning I run before whatever meal, so I always get a meal when I get back.

I don't do gels and things ...

hello, I joined, briefly last October (2011), just before my birthday. I understood and liked the whole S thing, as it was important to get off the diet merry-go-round.

Then stuff happened. Shortly after my birthday my Dad was taken ill. In January I flew to the UK (from NZ) and managed to spend ...

Ruff

hello, I am back again! Got a bit lost, stuff happened, as life does.

Back again, starting again. Actually I have been going great guns in some areas. I have started running, and have stopped snacking (mostly) But back on the wagon again now.

Ruff

You can do this. my daughter is bulimic, and is doing sooooooo well. I know you can do this. The hardest part is telling people in the first place.

So, you have told us. What you need now are displacement activities. My daughter has then written down. She picks one appropriate to the time. The ...

Ruff

Thank you! This eating plan is fun!

Can Ruff and I be urban rangers too? We ranged to the dog park today!

Does walking the dog count?

I also hereby commit to never taking the car to the local shops. I will either walk or more likely ride my bike....it is great for shopping. It is rather old fashioned with a wicker basket on the ...

Ruff

Today is another green day. Easy!

Plus the dog and I urban rangered in the dog park!

Ruff

It is my birthday on Thursday. I understand this is an S day and I shall eat cake!

The question is.....is this an extra S-day or do I deduct one from the weekend.

Thanks

Ruff.

Ruff

Gosh! This is a GREAT diet! Thanks.

Ruff

I have come here from low carbing/atkins.

This means i have developed a habit for drinking tea with cream (weak earl grey tea, no sugar)

Can i drink this between meals?

Thanks

Ruff

Yesterday was the first day.

No s all day, 3 meals. i was hungry around 4pm and I had tea with cream throughout the day.

I also went for a walk.

1 day down, the rest of my life to go!

Hi there, I am glad your surgery went well, and you are on the road to recovery.

Ruff

Thank you all, for your lovely welcome.

Dogs are great, I have actually lost 6 pounds since getting Ruff and not doing anything else other than trying to wear the puppy out! Ruff is 6 months old now.

Yesterday was my first green day. I got hungry late afternoon, but it was fine. Here goes day 2.

Ruff

Hi there, i am new here too. Great to have another new starter to start with.

Ruff

Hi there people,

I am new here, and thought it impolite to read all about you without letting you know I am here. I am female, 49 years old and have a dog called Ruff!

I have had flu this last week, so have been laid up. I took the time to research diets....again! I have done most of them, and got ...
