I found out about the No S Diet accidentally. I was actually browsing in a Borders in an airport while waiting for my connecting flight on Sunday. I happened to see the No S Diet book on the shelf, and the stuff on the cover made me interested. After looking through the book a bit, I decided it sounded interesting enough to buy, so I did.
I just finished reading it today, and I actually started on the diet as of this past Monday (since I was able to start on it pretty much right away...after all, the cover of the book tells you everything you need to know!).
A little about me...my name is Janine, and I'll be 24 in a little over a month. I'm about 5'5" or 5'6", around 145 lb, give or take, and I'm hoping to get down to between 130 and 135 by this time next year, which is most likely when I am getting married. So really only 10-15 pounds, not much. Pretty much all of my excess weight is in my belly/hips, which is what makes it noticeable (at least to me). I have looked at the exercise-related topics on everydaysystems.com, and I plan to partake in those too once I'm more established with the diet (one thing at a time, right?). The Shovelglove in particular looks fun! And besides the actual losing weight part, I'm hoping that things will stick and that I'll have a much healthier lifestyle for the rest of my life.
So anyway, so far things are going well. No snacking and no seconds are the hardest ones for me, but so far I've been successful. No sweets isn't really an issue for me since I don't eat much in the way of sweets anyway (and I stopped drinking soda over a year ago, except in rare cases).
I guess that's it for now. My HabitCal is here, for those who care to follow along.
