Thanks for all of the responses. I love hearing about people still in the 'flush' of the first year, as well as those who have been NoSing for years.

Janie: 'playing Jenga with my plate'---priceless! :lol: I have not been NoSing long enough to get to my goal weight. HOWEVER, as part of the reasonableness of NoS, I have set my goal weight at a reasonable level--140 lbs. In the past, I have set it at 118 (why is that the ideal number in my mind? I ...

How long have y'all been on the boards?
NoS is going great. I have been reading all of the past posts (wheww!!) As I have read names that come and go I have wondered, how long have the active members here been posting on the board? And related, how long have you been NoSing?

Well, I've been on NoS for 5 weeks yesterday, and have lost 5 lbs. I can't believe it! I am post-menopausal, 56 years old, with severe thyroid problems, and a bunch of other stuff that makes it hard for me to lose. And yet, I am losing! I was especially surprised this week because my weekend was a l...

Yay! :P Yesterday was Day 21 on plan. All green, no red! And I have lost 3.4 lbs. That is amazing for me, because I am one of the 4% that has physical reasons for not losing weight. Yay me! I wasn't certain I would lose this week, as we went out to dinner with friends Sunday night and I ate 5 fajita...

Today was great, too! I had to go to Tucson (again!) for a dental appointment. My sister and I stopped at Macaroni Grill for lunch. I had a lunchtime special of World Chopped Salad with vinegrette, and Carmen's Pasta (pasta, bacon, chicken, grilled onions, a light sauce). Both items came to 3/4 of a...

I am so excited about these changes!! Looooong!
Okay, yesterday was an N day, and I was doing fine. Then I had to drive hubby to Tucson (about an hour drive) right before dinner. I had a small panic attack, but then realized 'I can eat at any place there!' We ended up at In N Out burger place. I had a cheeseburger, shared hubby's fries, and drank...

One of the things I like best about NoS is the framework for eating. When I have less choices to make, my emotional eating is less. I look for other ways of dealing with it. Exercise is the best for me. Get those old endorphins rolling in the brain, and things seem better. I am currently doing 30 mi...

Weekend-s days
Days 5 & 6- S Days Well, I did my weekend S days. I drank lots of soda, snacked, and had ice cream and zucchini bread. I couldn't wait to get back to NoS days! The zucchini bread and the first soda were great. The other stuff was 'eh'. Even the Cherry Garcia ice cream was not as great as it should h...

Planning is great! I also PLAN (snicker!) to make certain that my S day stuff is Worthy. For example, I just got back from town, doing errands. While at the hardware store I saw the local Wendy's. I thought 'oooh, I can go there for lunch for my S day!' Then I thought "Wait a minute! I can go there ...

We don't have satellite or cable because of the cost. One month's fees will more than fill our gas tank, and we have a big van! Hubby and I watch dvds and old vhs tapes. We do have the tv on almost every night, and sometimes during the day. Hubby is a 'just watch the show' kinda guy. I CANNOT just s...

power outage
Oolala, I read about the power outage. Is everything back on now?
Sorry that the Yuma power station caused the problem. (I live in Arizona!)
Operator error, evidently. How can they not have redundant systems to prevent such a thing?
Take care!

NoS: Success Exercise: Success Thanks for the welcome! I bought the book when it first came out, but I guess I wasn't ready for it. I did a slew of low-carb diets, but found they weren't sustainable. Big surprise, huh? Now I am ready, and have really enjoyed the first few days on NoS. I have hunger ...

Thurs NoS: Success I also did my 30 minutes on the treadmill. As background info, I lost 70 lbs. before this over the last 18 months by the doctor regulating my thyroid meds. I stalled out at about 180-185 lbs. Have been there for 3 months, so decided I need a boost. Here I am! I have Hashimoto's (t...
