Thank you!
Thanks for the comments and opinions regarding how often to weigh. I'm going to try weighing every Saturday and if the weight loss is too slow and/or frustrating me, then I'll adjust and weigh monthly. Rjean, thank you for the encouragement! I really needed it. I do feel this is the best plan for me...

Beginning Weight
My beginning weight is: 176.5 lbs.... :cry: I'm really feeling very down this morning. This is the highest I've ever weighed (I'm only 5'4...and a half!), and to think that just 20 years ago when I got married I was around 120 lbs. I've never had children, so it's not baby weight, but I did go throu...

Good first day :)
Well, today was my first day and it went well. I don't usually eat oatmeal, but I decided to try it for breakfast. I couldn't believe how much it filled me up! Now, I was off of work this week for Spring Break (I'm a teacher), so I ended up eating b'fast at around 10:00 am. All I ate was one packet ...

Re: WEIGH IN DAY
Today was my 4 month weight in. I lost 8.2 lbs this month. Total in 4 months = 23.4 lbs I AM ECSTATIC!! PS: Last month I did not lose anything, but my weigh in date fell on a Sunday in the middle of a fun but wild S weekend. This time the weigh in day fell on a Wednesday. I think I actually lost 2-...

Okay, I'm back with my tail between my legs (okay, not literally, but you get the idea!). :) I can't believe I once again got off of No-S! I'll tell you why, though. My pants were starting to get snug and when I weighed myself I saw that I hadn't lost any weight. I was afraid I was gaining. So, now ...

Hello Everyone, Well, I have false-started No-S at least a couple of times over the past few years. I guess you could say I'm a slow learner. I KNOW diets don't work for me (I don't consider this a "diet"...diet is a 4 letter word to me), and I honestly can't remember why I quit No-S in the past. I'...
