Now I have to seriously have some of my work clothes taken in - YIPPEE! I bought a suit about 6 weeks ago and it fit nicely...now it needs some alterations - jacket and skirt.

I'm still in my 153-155 lb range...next goal is the 148-150 lb range (if I remember to step on the scale).

Boy, it's mid-July already! But still doing NoS. Had some off days, but didn't flog myself over it. I'm down to about 153 now, from a high of 169.

One Plate item:

What I usually do is fill 1/2 of my plate with veges/salad, 1/4 with a protein & 1/4 starch. Been doing this for a couple of months now, even before I came across NoS.

And, I eat my veges first, usually because they are the first to go cold!

Ended up treating the S days as S days.

So 7 days into this, no bloating anymore. I like that! Scale didn't move, but that doesn't bother me a bit. The fact that I feel slimmer and look slimmer is a great first victory.

Read the article and decided to do this. I've been trying the 6 small meals a day, but it doesn't work for me. I like the idea of keeping things simple.

Goal is to lose 20 lbs.
