Okay weight it all over the flipping show :mad:, I managed to lose three pounds over night BUT I am still only two pounds down on the month in total - hmm wonder if upping my potato intake would help at all?

I reckon the No-S Diet has got to be the ultimate in OS weight management.

It's only 14 words long with 3 rules and 1 exception:

• No Snacks
• No Sweets
• No Seconds

Except (sometimes) on days that start with "S"

See www.nosdiet.com

Just wanted to say big thanks Hannah for this link - I am a lurker on this board but a member of the I wanna do it.. WL thread.

Afternoon All :wave:

Had my first official WI at doctor's. pleased to report 4.5lb loss. It is over a 4 week period and doc says that 1lb a week is about right for me personally.

I will still do my own WIs at home - usually on a Thursday when I remember (!) so I know how much I've lost since beginning of 2011.

Today
B - toast, cuppa tea
Sn - OH got some slices of birthday cake style cream sponge cake. I cut 'my' share in half and had that with a cuppa when I got to work and have donated the other half to my Other Half!
L - ham, lettuce & tomato brown roll
Sn - pear, l/f yog
D - egg, bacon, toms, mushrooms, bubble
(this looks suspiciously like what was supposed to be yesterday's dinner, but someone forgot to get the bacon out of the freezer :whistle: so we had chicken, spuds & veg instead)

Walking - did 20 mins this morning, blooming shoes cutting into bunion so will have to go home in trainers!

Thursday
b - M0rr!$ons own value w33tab!x, milk & sug
sn, - banana
Lu - lunchtime portion HM cottage pie (swede mash topped mmmmmmm), mushypeas & carrots
sn - l/f yog
D - HM ccc & rice

Walking - 20 mins am and half hour brisk lunchtime constitutional

Friday
b - egg on toast, cuppa tea
lu - jacket p, beans & cheese topping
sn - pear
d - HM burger with lettuce, onion & tomato

Walking - swift alternate walking/jogging round the park - 30 mins

Good luck all

morning all

well done to all of you who have lost this week.

welcome to any new starters-not had time to read back through the posts yet but will do later.

had two weeks of socialising im afraid so not done my dieting efforts any good, had lots of birthdays to attend and everyone seems to want to eat out at the moment!!! anyway been on the scales and at least i have stayed the same as my last weigh in.

walking is going well im managing 2 miles a day and think its time to try and do slightly more. Really enjoying this , its doing me good, hopefully toning me up a little and its free........

Hubby wants to loose a little too and is going to weigh me in future to try and keep me on the straight and narrow road....we will see (could end in divorce!!!!!).

today- breakfast - oats

off shopping this morning , fancying some lovely fruits so will see whats available later.

keep up the good work evereyone

I need to join this. I just saw a picture taken of me on Ds1's Birthday. :eek::o:eek::o:eek: That was my reaction. I've weighed on the scales but will weigh on the wii fit later as they're different and the wii fit is a bit more generous. :cool:

So instead of baking and eating it all within a day (or is that just me? :P) you still have the yummy food, just eat less of it and over a longer period? Seems sensible!

I was really worried that I'd have to stop cooking. I look at the meal plans and want to cry with the same cereal for breakfast/ham sandwich with salad for dinner/cabbage soup with an apple for tea. Surely people can't live on that! It's so boring!

I try not to have the same thing for breakfast or lunch twice in a row - and not more than twice a week if possible - just do a bit of planning and work out what you can afford (quite easy for me as I just stick to a certain number of Weight Watchers ProPoints so lots of variety possible).

I think mixing up the types of thing you eat not only helps you stick to healthy eating for longer, but gives your metabolism something different to work on and perhaps work that little bit harder for you. The latter isn't based on any fact I've found by the way, just something I personally believe.

For example, some of my breakfast and lunch selections:

BREAKFAST (and generally supermarket own brands, not expensive brand names)
2 x Weetabix and skimmed milk
2 Shredded Wheat and skimmed milk
Apple puree and yogurt
Eggy bread with either lemon juice and powdered sweetener or ketchup depending on sweet or savoury mood
Poached egg on toast
Porridge

LUNCH
Soup and home made toast
Toasted Bagel with ELF Cheese spread
Wholemeal wrap - cold filling with salad, or hot mushrooms with grated cheese melted on top or sweet chilli sauce
Crumpets and ELF cheese spread or golden syrup
Pitta bread 'pizza' with tomato and low fat cheese
Spicy noodles with mushrooms, peppers and sweet chilli sauce
Jacket Potato (no end of toppings here)
Small portion of wholewheat pasta

and

and don't get me started on evening meals. Anything is possible - just either have less of it and bulk it up with veg, or swap in low fat ingredients for the full fat versions.

I refuse to eat as if I'm on a diet or I'll just put it all back on when I've finished dieting.

Hello everone, great inspiration reading this thread.

Right, here it goes... I weigh 11st 4 (5' 2inches tall) and have lost 4lb recently on a low GI diet. I am at that 'so committed will never look back' stage, you know...

However, the difference is I now have high blood pressure for my age (43) and must must loose the excess. So if it's ok, I would like to post my weight once a week here to help me stay committed. I really hope I can stay committed, good luck everone...see you next week

I've been on the Wii fit which was kinder than the scales by 8lbs! I had a massive shock looking back at my weight on there when i realised i'd put on 2st in a year. :eek::eek: I'm really determind now, i am not giving up this time.

finally found this thread back on page 7!

hope all of you are well and still on the straight and narrow path of sensible eating.

welcome to the newbies too.

been away for a few days and although I ate more than normal I think the cold kept the weight off, have returned the same weight as I went! I was so cold that I had 2 teeshirts on under my jumper - think I must have my home too hot but my friends have theirs at the other extreme and then open the windows all the time!

Had a really busy weekend and will be busy all this week so hopeful to shift some of the sticky pounds that I have!

TODAY:
B; small bowl of shreddies with splash of milk
B: an hour later 1 slice of toast with l/f spread and smear of golden syrup.
L: tuna mayo sandwich with cress, bag of hula hoops and lilt zero
S: apple
spag bol will go easy on the spag!

there may well be a glass of wine consumed tonight as I don't think I'll sit down until nearly 10pm. - huummm maybe this why I still have some 'sticky' pounds (ie i'm staying the same a lot)

Hi all, this is my first post in this thread
I weighed in yesterday at 10st 11lbs and would like to trim up a bit before my jollies. I really like the idea of the No S Diet, I think I could manage that.

Today I have had/will be having:
B: porridge (smaller portion than I usually have)
L: huge salad with a small portion of roast chicken and a dressing (salad cream, horseradish and some water shaken together)
Jamies Oliver's 'Pregnant Jool's pasta' from his 30 min cookbook, fruit salad for afters.

I'm going to try and do a bit of exercise too to tone up.
