Pretty straightforward. Had the late eating schedule today, but don't really like eating late, I could just have a glass of milk. So I think ...

Thanks snapdragon! All the trainers my the gym encourage snacking too! But I figure what works for one doesn't work for another.. If I just need a little milk or protein shake rather than a mini meal then that what I will have!!

So...

I'm with Kathi! Protein fills me up loads and gets me through!! And I add protein powder to things sometimes to help keep me going. You can get really good natural organic ones (essentially whey is the liquid part of cottage cheese that has been dehydrayted) and I add it to smoothies, in baking ...

S DAY on Sunday too! I stuck to 3 meals and a little treat so not too bad!! I sometimes don't like the fact that I can eat what I want, as it makes me feel I deserve to eat treats! And I almost force myself to have treats when I don't need them! Back to normality....

28.11 Monday SUCCESS

So ...

John, I also have the problem of uncomfortable hunger between meals! I know exactly what the time is too! But I've got over it by keeping very busy, and occasionally having juice or milk. My first hunger time is 11am, so at 10.30 I get really stuck into something that I know will take me an hour ...

Thought I'd drop in... And I'm very impressed with your 5K!
Don't get me wrong.. I love going to the gym, but I do metabolic circuit training. Ive never been able to sustain a jog for more than 10minutes, so I'm in awe of your 5K!

You are doing really well, you may have had an few NWS Days, but ...

Thanks Okaybear. It's good that I have to confess my failures, or I would have carried on eating! I was mighty disappointed that it was my first fail, but I'm feeling quite pleased now that I actually stopped! There was a whole selection of choccies that I didn't eat, and I think it was because I ...

25.11 Friday FAILURE

Oh dear, my first fail! Good day, due to circumstances beyond my control I waited 8 hours until dinner!! But then couldn't resist the millionaire shortbread that had been left for me, with a hot chocolate! It was made with water and I know some of you allow that, but it's a ...

I love soup at this time of year too, and it's very filling!
Yesterday at the supermarket they had loads of veg seriously reduced in price because it was just before it's "best before" date. So I bought loads, and figured I could make soups before they go off, and freeze them. I usually make the ...

24.11 SUCCESS / S DAY

So no Thanksgiving for me on this side of the pond! But I gave myself an S event as we went to dinner for one of my friends that is leaving for France for 6 months today! Which was good as I had starter, main AND shared a dessert with a friend! I was also starving, because ...

That's brilliant you can listen to it! did you enjoy it?
The family that was in that feud are "the Archers" (David and Ruth Archer) versus the big man up the road! (Brian Aldridge)

I missed last nights and tonights but will have to catch up!

Also... Anyone have an opinion on the John/Sharon/Kylie ...

23.11 Wednesday SUCCESS
Relatively easy day today as Weds in my busy day, so no time to eat!! I resisted when offered sweets (candy) and managed to go to the pub for a drink minus pork scratchings and crisps etc. I didn't drink as much today...must drink more!

Breakfast - English muffin with cream ...

22.11 Tuesday SUCCESS

So today was good! I kept busy at 11am which stopped my major hunger from annoying me and didn't get to eat lunch until nearly 2pm! I also had a lot more protein in my breakfast..wondering if that helps? I couldn't finish my lunch, I am still putting a lot on the plates but ...

The wedding is a good one! Nice to be a bit calmer after Nigel last year, not too much melodrama!

Blithe Morning I think you might be able to listen online as radio isn't included on our BBC tv license. (it used to be, but now it's free I believe) You almost definitely can't watch TV online from ...

21.11 Monday SUCCESS

So today was good, drank 2 litres of H2Orange which has curbed food cravings! I've realised the worst time of day for me is 11am! So tomorrow I'm going to make sure I a REALLY busy at 11 so I can hold out until 1pm for lunch!

I've also realised some people put what they have ...

I love The Archers! We listened to it as a family when I was younger! In fact the household stopped what they were doing at 7pm and stood in the kitchen listening to the radio! Unfortunately my friends aren't so keen on it, and I don't keep up with it as much as I should! Although I do enjoy the ...

I started last Monday, so I will back track a bit.. But here goes:

14.11 SUCCESS hard to not snack but I was determined, had one glass of milk after gym.

15.11 SUCCESS

16.11 SUCCESS Today was a lot easier, and I found myself feeling full and stopping eating!

17.11 SUCCESS struggled a lot ...

Thanks for the responses! I have come to the conclusion today that it must all be in my head because I'm now thinking about "not snacking" when there is a slight hunger pang. Also I've recently given up smoking, and I think i used to smoke when I felt hunger, so now I don't have that vice to fall ...

Firstly, I'm introducing myself! This is the first time I've ever joined an online forum/bulletin board! But I feel it may help me with my No S journey!

So... After spending a few weeks reading 1000's of posts I finally started No S last Monday. I'm a week in and so far doing well, especially ...
