Everyday Systems

Im doing it over Christmas then its the 5:2 plan for me as well as no snacking. Im still eating sweet stuff and occasionally I will have seconds anyway. Its all about the snacking for me.

Ive been close to giving up and thinking well its Christmas, but I get more of a buzz from sticking to it than I do eating when I shouldn't.

Today is Saturday though and the Parkrun (a 5K fun run every Saturday morning) I go to had their first birthday celebrations this morning and there was cake ...

I know Ive not been on since Tuesday, but Ive been successful. Ive only eaten 3 meals every day. My weight has been dropping slightly too.

Of course next week wont be too great, but Im giving myself Christmas day and Boxing day S days.

right come on I can do this.

Ive been for a run this morning too.

Just checking in to the start of a new week. So thats 5 N days. So far so good, but its only just after lunch time here.

Well Ive been really good all week and the scales are showing a little rise. Im not happy. Ive not been snacking at all and Ive been making sure Ive been drinking plenty of water (1.5 - 2 litres a day) so not sure why.

Oh well in Jan I start a new job and going to add a new habit. Im going to ...

I have a weekend problem too, I try to only eat when hungry though, but I'm aware I need to get better on S days too.

So far this week has been successful and I've seen the weight dropping so still on for a good lifestyle change. Seeing the scales drop and knowing that they rose last week when I ...

I've been meaning to sign in all day just haven't got round to it.

Yesterday was successful and so far has today, it's nearly half 10 at night here though so it is a success. Well it has to be my weight went up a bit over the weekend. Now I am determined to carry on my no snacking. I also need to ...

Well I kind of failed yesterday, but decided to make it a S day as I was offered a job. I don't start till the new year, but it's still what I wanted. So decided to celebrate by eating cookies last night. I was successful until then though. So yesterday was an S day for me.

I've decided to write ...

Another fail yesterday. I got annoyed with the laptop breaking last night so stuffed myself with shortbread cookies. The hard drive has broke, but it's getting fixed soon. For now I am having to use the iPad which isn't as easy to use, but it will do for now.

My scales were only a little bit up ...

Well yesterday I kind of failed as I did snack, but instead of the full pack of biscuits (do americans say biscuits or are they all cookies? We have cookies and biscuits in England) I only had one in the afternoon and one last night.

So even though I did snack I didn't snack as much as I would ...

So yesterday I did have some chocolate mid afternoon. There I was in the kitchen washing up when they caught my eye. So even though it was officially a S day I was trying to make up for Saturday. Didn't have a lot, only a couple of chocolates.

Right now I am just guzzling water as I really really ...

Thanks. I wish I could lose 5lbs that quick.

Had a bad day yesterday with food. I just ate more than I should. Im making up for it today though by not having snacks.

I am planning a new habit from Jan and that will be to do crunches every morning before I get in the shower. I plan to start off ...

Thanks JW.

Well another success day yesterday and the scales went down this morning. Another good thing I did yesterday was last night for my dinner I actually left some. It was lovely, but for a change I actually listened to my body and stopped eating when I was full. No wonder the scales went ...

Another success day yesterday. Not weighed myself yet this morning (I do this when I get dressed), but I still resisted those pesky biscuits at night time.

Well yesterday was a success again. Definately finding it hard on a night still. When will my mind realise that biscuits will not be eaten on a night? I got so used to eating a pack (or two) of biscuits on a night when I wasn't hungry that now Im having cravings for them. I was never hungry, it was ...

Well second day so far has been a success. Though yet again its coming to the worst time for me. In a couple more weeks the worst will be over and hopefully those cravings will no longer exist. Im not even hungry, I just want biscuits. Its a habit of mine that I am trying to break: eating rubbish ...

Welcome! I loved both of your comments in your signature line! :)

I had a fun time converting your "stone". So you started around 173 pounds? And are now 154 pounds? Congrats! NoS is, in my opinion, a reasonable way for you to maintain your weight loss and still enjoy eating for the rest of your ...

Only found this Site today.

Anyway a bit about me first:

Live in England. Have 3 children.

18 Months ago I was 12 stone 5 and my size 16 clothes were starting to feel tight. I took up running and started to eat less. I got down to 10 stone 9, but the weight has started to creep back on. I now ...
