Hello, I'm new
Hello, I've been suspicious about the whole snacking-to-lose weight thing for a while now, so when I happened upon the No S diet book in the bookstore, I decided to go for it. I started the week of Thanksgiving, then fell completely off the wagon during the Christmas holidays. Anyway, I am back on the wagon now and have committed to trying it for one year, so I just wanted to say, Here I am. Hope this works, 'cause I'm tired of the never-ending struggle.

Me too!!
Just started last week, into my second week. Want to commit to a year also. Need to loose 25 lbs, so I can fit into a closet full of clothes and refuse to buy more. I'll make that commitment with you. Good luck to the both of us and welcome.

Have caution! I had to buy new clothes thanks to this business. Smaller ones, I'll grant you.love my whippets wrote:Just started last week, into my second week. Want to commit to a year also.

Welcome, leannamcg and love my whippets!
A year is a lovely goal, because it gives you enough scope to see the larger picture. With no-s you can have your failures within that year and still see progress. Learning to fail and pick yourself up again is a handy trick that can be re-applied to other aspects of your life.

I'm thinking a year, too, but for some reason I'm fixing on Mar.20, the first day of spring, as a benchmark day. Every time I start thinking I'm going to fiddle with the "rules," I think, no, just do it as is until then. I'm not even worrying about exercise that much, although I wear a pedometer just to get the reality baseline. Better to leave some room to get tougher than to go all out and then crash and burn.

Hi, I'm new too, from New Zealand. Just started three days ago so had two N days and now on second S day. Feeling uncertain and nervous about this. Have tried at least 20 different diets many times in the last 45 years (I'm 62), so hope that THIS could be the one. I want to lose about 15kg (33 lbs), and reduce my BMI from 27.5 to normal. Wish me luck!
Welcome, JR. If you've tried all kinds of diets, you must be ready to find a way to eat for the rest of your life. It obviously can't be one of those diets and it can't be what you usually do off a diet. Work on establishing the habit first. Worry about weight loss later. I believe you will lose weight, but even more importantly, you'll find some peace with food.

Just weighed myself
It's been almost a month now so I got on the scale today. I was pleasantly surprised to discover I'm down 5.5 lbs.! I could tell my clothes were feeling a little different. I was starting to get the slightest bit discouraged b/c I haven't been perfect, so to see some changes is really great. I feel more in control as well.
