wow you're good.. yea i am from Easter Europe, from Romania, but i've been in Canada for 10 years, so i wouldn't think anyone would be able to tell where i'm from by what i eat anymore..

i think i was eating a lot more than the examples posted here back when i was no-Sing.. and it was still much less than maintenance for me.. check out my daily check in if interested, i kept a food diary for a few days..

i'm with you guys too.. starting again on the 8th.. did it successfully before the holidays for about a week and a half, barely.. my S-days were horrible, so that's something i have to watch out for.. and i think i gained a little over the holidays

good luck to you both!

well.. i've been absent from the forum for most of the holidays.. which have been pretty horrible in terms of food (great in terms of other things).. i'm almost certain that i've gained some weight :(

anyways, i'm getting back to noS tomorrow, just wanted to post today to make it harder for me to ...

hi.. i just started reading and posting on this forum, and i'm just curious how come no one uses tickers here?

if anyone doesn't know what a ticker is, here's an example:

i have a question: what's the deal with drinks between meals? i think i saw somewhere that tea is okay.. what about coffee? and as you can see from my food log, i had a green smoothie.. any comments would be awsome..
