I am starting the No S plan on Monday. I have tried everything in the past, and this is my last resort. I'm 5'7 and 225 lbs, and am desperate to lose this weight. I need to lose about 75 lbs. I know the weight loss will come slow, but I need to know that it will indeed come. I need some inspirational words of encouragement! Thanks in advance!

If you live in the US, technically tomorrow is an S day, too.

RHI.. YOU HAVE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE! Everyone posting on this site is doing just what you are doing..trying to lose weight.. trying to eat sensible meals.. trying to not let food take over their lives. No one is perfect.. we all have successes and failures... (I am just getting back onboard from two months of " misdirection") One of the first important lessons I learned here was to not beat myself up if I messed up..and not to let a small "mess-up'" lead to a whole day of eating. "Mark it and move on" is a phrase that is very useful in No-S-ing!
I would suggest reading everything there is to read on this site (not all at once!!). You never know when you will come across something that just "speaks" to you. Post any doubts or questions and post your successes.. you have a cheering section here like you won't believe!! good luck!!

Welcome, rhi!
When I first began No S, I found it very helpful to read the testimonials section and also the daily check-ins. I chose the check-in threads with multiple pages - I figured those were the people who had learned how to stay with No S.
The sticky thread of No S catch phrases contains a lot of No S wisdom condensed into memorable form, and the sticky of KCCC's description of the phases of No S is invaluable.
Good luck, and congratulations on starting your first N day. More and more I've come to realize that the most important thing is simply to START.
