New joiner to the No S Diet
I just wanted to say that one day I stumble across the No S Diet on the internet and read it. I had been looking for a diet that wasn't really a diet but a way of life and second nature. I joined Weight Watchers 6 years ago and lost 163#, reach my goal weight, but you know what, I could not stay on their maintenance plan. It was too restrictive and I could not see that as a way of life. I gained back 30#. I bought every new diet book on the market and none of them address maintenance as something that you would do as second nature. I have sucessfully lost 10 of the 30#s. Then one day my daughter and I went to a book store and there on the shelve was the No S Diet. I bought the book and I have been on the plan for such a short time, but it made more sense than any other diet book I ever bought. I am starting my 3rd week. This way is second nature.

Welcome Ellie!
It's so nice to have you here. I do hope you'll feel right at home. I did the WW thing a couple times too...but gained every pound back each time. You're right, this plan makes so much sense and it's certainly a life-long way of eating. I've been doing this since the end of July and I never want to go back to diets again. I'm losing weight & feel better than I have in...well....better than ever! I've been on a diet my whole life (48 years) and I don't ever remember a time when I was in control of my eating...eating was in control of me. So....again, welcome....you'll find great info in the book and wonderful support here on the forum.

That is really impressive, losing so much weight and regaining so little of it.
NoS could be just what you are looking for.

I agree, Ellie, "weigh" to go! What you accomplished is awesome! I hope No-S will be the workable maintenance program that helps you get back down to where you want to be and stay there. Welcome .Too solid flesh wrote:That is really impressive, losing so much weight and regaining so little of it.

I know!, isn't it funny how no one ever thinks of how are they going to maintain that weight loss they so hardly achieved with restrictions and prohibitions?.Ellie wrote:I just wanted to say that one day I stumble across the No S Diet on the internet and read it.

To me the beauty (or should I say the most beautiful thing of NoS) is the maintenace, because once you lost the weight, you just keep on doing the same as before and this time, you know you can sustain it, because what you've been doing all this time you were losing the weight was... eating normally!.
