Everyday Systems

Checking in... I am down about 5 lbs. Not as much as I'd like but I have really kept up on the exercise portion so I'm going to chalk that up to muscle gain 8)

The 2X veggie plan is working great. I've had a lot of changes recently - most notably a new job with entirely different hours - and I'm ...

Thanks for the encouragement Lpearlmom !

Week 1 was a success...down 2 pounds! I did very well with my veggie plan (2 vegetarian meals a day, 5 days a week) and also kept up my exercise. Did over-do the exercise a little this morning- biked a 5 mile trail that was super easy going down and then ...

Well, it's been a year since I followed No-S - in summary, I did get down to about 167 or so, went on my UK trip where we walked a bazillion miles a day and actually lost weight despite having fish & chips every other day. However, when I got back, all exercise did all but stop and I gained about 12 ...

Checking in....

The 3 lb loss seems to be holding steady despite a few extra drink days - those are what gets me. It's summer and sitting out on my patio with a cocktail while I read is one of my chief entertainments. I have cut down on the amount of rum I put in each drink to stretch it out but ...

Quick mobile update. Diet still laughingly easy to stick to, walking is non existent due to ridiculous heat. Down to 168!

Start of Week 8...

Weighed myself at the end of last week....169! :D . Ok, we might be getting somewhere. I did a fair amount of walking- could do better but I think that is part of why the scale decided to budge a little.

Everything going smoothly, kept to my glass ceiling most of the time ...

Starting Week 7...

I have done much better on walking with four days last week (and four real, 30 min. walks as opposed to faking it a bit previously). Moving my walking to nighttime has helped.

Still the scale is just stubbornly clinging to 171. The temptation to start making mods is overwhelming ...

Start of week 6....

Managed to do some light walking Saturday and today. I think to start it's going to be more casual than I made it in the past. Just me and the dog and an audiobook going at our speed (she's an old dog ;). I think I may have gotten as burned out on counting miles/calories burned ...

Mid-week report....


Well, the scale was at 171 still, although wavering between 170-171 so I guess it might mean about 1/2 lb loss from my start. In five weeks :(. I am trying to examine why that might be, making changes without leaving the plan or putting undue restrictions that might sabotage me ...

I am brand new, week 5 (and honestly, not much weight loss yet although I think I'm keeping to the plan ok).

My breakfast default is the Lean Cuisine egg rolls, sometimes with some left over rice if I have it. Although it's a diet food, they are really tasty and filling - especially dipped in hot ...

Week 5 is underway...

I will do my official weigh-in Thursday - don't really want to sabotage myself by weighing today after an extra S day this past week.

However, my last 3 S-days have been pretty good. The only problem I'm having is with alcohol - that third drink is a bit too tempting ...

W0ohoo !

Hey there !

1 week until official weigh in...but...

I did weigh myself early in this 3rd week and...drumroll... was still 171 lbs. Then I weighed myself again two days later and was 169 lbs :lol: . I'm just not going to worry about it. At least I didn't gain and I feel like I"m eating too well after years of ...

2 weeks until weigh-in...

Week 3 was a little rocky - mostly on the exercise front. I was able to manage 3 good days of walking and a 4th day that I'll count but it wasn't especially calorie burning. It's been hot and windy so the only time to really walk is early in the morning and work has been ...

Week 1 Check-in:

So far, not at all hard to stick to. I definitely think the structure of the three meals is helpful. The weekend felt a little weird and I probably went overboard yesterday but I found myself not finishing a lot of my dinner and only had half a piece of cheesecake (we had a Father ...

Thank you!

So far, it's going well. I don't plan on weighing myself for awhile but I figure I can't do worse than not sticking to any diet would do :).

Yesterday, I had to go to a business lunch at a pizza place. So, I put three (small) pieces on my plate and that worked just fine. I wasn't as ...

Hello,

I'm checking in on my second day of the No-S diet. Yesterday, I did well except for a little nibbling while I was making lunch. I am just starting based on information I've read on the web but have the book requested from the library. I love to cook, especially BBQing on the weekend so it ...
