The No S Diet [title edited by MNHQ]

[Asuitablemum]

I've decided that I finally need to commit to losing my baby weight. I have 2 stone (ideally more to lose). But will just take it half a stone at a time. I am not really into crazy diets. So I've gone for the 's' diet which is basically eat sensibly diet! No snacks, seconds or 'sweets' (includes cakes etc ) except on days beginning with s (weekends and special days). So three meals a day basically. Does anyone want to join me or be my supporter? I lost 1.5 lb the first week, but then gained 0.3. Next weigh in is Monday and today I was 2.5lb lighter so I'm hoping I will have lost something. I am piling up a bit on the meals but figure that I need that to stick to it at the moment. Hopefully as I adjust I can make the meals smaller/healthier too. Looking forward to the weekend for a pudding and some wine!

I feel obscenely full after it but I'd be worried about being hungry any earlier as I don't think I'd concentrate properly at work.

Hope everyone has had a good weekend. We went out for lunch today and I am still completely full, won't be eating anything else today - that is not something I would have said a few months ago! Mind you it was a large lunch and really delicious, I enjoyed every mouthful!
Am hoping for maintain this week and will weigh tomorrow as usual.

I seem to have spent most of today starving !
Need to get organised I think.

1/2lb down this morning, pleased with that as I felt I ate a lot this weekend. Have a good week everyone.

Well done !

Well done. 👍🏼👍🏼I also had a good result. 👍🏼👍🏼

Well done on the losses everyone. Encouraging for a newbie to read.

I would like to say I had a civilised non snacking non sweet eating weekend but it would be a lie. But I did quite well yesterday.

I have noticed a new issue. I have eaten such a large portion of lunch (but truly only one bowl) that I feel sick. I think my serial snacking has meant I am not used to eating large meals in one go. But I have to force it down or else I will be starving in an hour

Well done Ariston
Round that is a tricky one. I am a greedy guts and always manage a big plateful so I'm not much help! Only advice is to hang on in there in the hopes that you will adjust over time.

Round I am going to bed hungry tonight as I had a very small lunch as I was rushing to get something done , which meant an early dinner. I tend to feel a bit sick after eating my breakfast but I'm not sure I'd last the 7 hours til lunch otherwise.
It's a delicate balancing act.

Been away as been ill with tonslitis. Better now so marking it and moving on to quote posie! Not feeling very positive as wanted to be about 1/2 stone down by end of feb and now that seems unlikely

I hope you are feeling better best. 💐

Sounds nasty bestbees definitely mark them as sick days. Hope you're on the mend now.

I have lost some weight - I can tell by my clothes and waist measurement...but I feel so frustrated because I have so much left to lose!
Argh! I want to speed up this process. I am so sick of this large unsexy stomach.
The chocolate cravings are driving me nuts too.

Will try to not go completely wild this weekend. Treat will be dark chocolate.

Well done champagne!!! I too understand the frustration. I have lost 20lbs so far but have 84 more to go!! We will get there 👍🏼

Thank you for the encouragment Aniston and great job as well!!
YES. We will get there. To a healthy weight!
I'm seriously frustrated though by the lack of chocolate and will channel the anger into a workout later...
As a (previously?) comfort eating couch potato I'm so glad I found out about No S on MN...!

Ariston, sorry!

That's ok!!! This time right now is my weak point. I am very hungry. A pork and apple casserole is in the oven and the smell is so lovely I can't wait!!!!

That sounds yummy ariston!

Today we had holiday biscuits in the office and I didn't eat any! So I'm feeling quite pleased with myself. I'm off swimming later too.

I've been thinking about my weekends.... and found that now I'm used to it and have actually lost some weight, I don't want to sabotage myself at the weekend. So the 'sometimes' is coming in now. It's a long term thing but I think these new habits will be worth it.

Ariston dd I read that right, you've lost 20lb?! That's truly fantastic!
Sounds like we're all getting in well, I am amazed how normal this feels now. I am so pleased to be rid of the demon in my head telling me to eat eat eat! So good to prove to myself that I can eat with moderation.

*did not dd

Yes Posie ☺️ 20lbs in 5 weeks! I truly have followed it properly, no restricting excepts snacks, which is hard but I'm doing it. I'm using a Fitbit and increasing my steps. The best thing is the reduced urge to eat eat eat!!

That is so amazing, I am so pleased its working for you

Well done Ariston.
The sometimes is fab when it kicks in beela.
My only S this weekend was frozen banana chocolate smoothie both days. Genuinely don't crave sweet food anymore.

Mum two that sounds lovely, can you share the recipe please?

Not Mum, mmm 😳
