Over the years, as I N S on and off, people will ask me how I am losing weight. I have emailed them the No S website, given them a copy of the book to read, or just simply written the No S "mantra" on a napkin and handed it to them. I often find it interesting particularly from people who are signif...

Over43

You do not have to really say anything. No S is much less intrusive on other peoples social lives than no carbing, or Ornish, or whatever. Just say, "I am still full from lunch."

My first goal is 200 lbs.

I will take it from there.

I rode the Airdyne Friday (26th). Will ride it tonight.

Yesterday saw me snacking on peach rings before dinner, but over all my food intake was much less. I rode the Airdyne for 30 minutes and picked up 11.6 Cooper Points. That is the best ride I have had in a couple of years. 8.8 miles.

Starting new today, big breakfast, etc.

See you tomorrow.

Good job Lori. Keep working. I think it is assumed that world class athletes are eating tofu and hummus, but I would imagine most are moderate in their eating approach. I always think of the Babe Ruth phenomena, beer, hot dogs and snuff, and dominate everyone you play against.

Thanks for the posts. The car is still in the shop. I am still at 205.

However, I am still riding the Airdyne and pushing 30 Cooper Points a week. I just get on it and watch a movie on my Kindle.

To a point, I am going to disagree. Although No S is not "sexy" (although is it an less sexy than the Wild (?) Diet and The Mommy Workout Plan (?) that were on the show?), I think a person could certainly lose more than a pound a week.
