Month 2 update. 25 pounds lost total. 7 for month.

Down 25 pounds in two months. 39 down from my highest ever weight (recorded back in 2007). 7 pounds for the month. This is a much more what i would consider "normal" performance. I never dreamed I would lose 18 in that first month. I have determined (in my mind anyway) that a good chunk of that 18 p...

Re: I am new

I am new and just wanted to say hello. I've been struggling with traditional dieting (mostly weight watchers) for a long time, nearly 10 years now, and the last 3 years have just been the worst. Totally stuck in the yo-yo diet realm and didn't feel like I could get past it. I tried Intuitive Eating...

Thank you all for the many suggestions. I did eat a larger supper last night, and I went to bed early :) Thank you to ironsickel for the words of encouragement. It's great to hear that these "symptoms" will pass :) All the best, Cool! The biggest thing is to stick to the plan. No seconds, no sweets...

Re: Evening Snacker

Hello, I read up on No-S over the weekend, and I gave it a go yesterday. I was fine until about 7-8pm and then I experienced a pounding headache and gnawing hunger. I usually consume a large amount of calories in the evening and I think the absence of snacks had something to do with my "symptoms". ...

2 months in...25 lbs down

Well, here it is, the end of my first month already. As of this morning, I'm down 18 lbs. I started out with a lot to lose (303 at initial weigh in), so I fully expect my pace to slow in the next few months. I started with just vanilla No-S and the last week of the month added Shovelglove. Really en...

Re: Can anyone explain this rapid weight/waist gain?

Greetings. I really want to make sense of this: from Saturday morning to Monday morning I gained 5 1/4lbs and nearly an inch around my waist. Can anyone tell me what that gain consists of? For what it's worth, i'm having the EXACT same problem. I'll put on anywhere from 5 to 6 LBS at my Monday weig...

Today is day 11 for me. I've always been on the chubby side most of my 34 years and the last 6-7 years I've been about 50 pds overweight. The very first week on this plan, I knew it was the one for me. It's very different than any other diet I've tried and it's working and it's not that hard to do!...

Re: Exercise videos question

I am wanting to add exercise. What would be some good videos to look for, for beginners? I was looking on amazon for Jillian Michaels or the Biggest Losers and they have almost 5 stars, but with so many....I don't know which to get. I'm not sure how much of a beginner you are, but if you're not afr...

Taking the Plunge

Greetings! I've been researching/perusing the No-S Diet for about a year but finally steeled myself to take the plunge. I started on July 3 (figured I would give myself a nice holiday weekend of S-days to gear myself up for it). I've been obese my entire life (was identified as obese in kindergarten...
