Introduction and Hello!
Posted: Thu Mar 17, 2011 2:24 pm
Hello All,
I've been lurking on the board for a while and wanted to introduce myself. I've known about no s for a while, and have been following it somewhat strictly since the end of January. I'm 28, and I just had my second child on January 7th. I am breastfeeding, so no s is a really great moderate plan for me. I'm 5'2", and after my weight stabilized about a month after my son's birth I weighed 215lbs. My pre-pregnancy weight was 207.
Currently, I weigh 201.6lbs, so I am down 13lbs in just under 2 months! I lost about 5 lbs the first week, so I may still have been losing some water weight. I've slowed down to about a pound a week now. My Dr. is fine with this, he says as long as my milk supply is not affected I should continue to lose as much weight as I can to get down to a lower weight for my health. (I luckily have a very abundant milk supply!) I would be at the high end of the healthy BMI range for my height at 140 lbs, so I am aiming for a goal weight of about 135-140lbs.
I am so happy to have found this system, and am so thankful to Reinhard for sharing it with the world through his book and this website. I've always been a bit of an "all or nothing" person, so whenever I've fallen off a diet in the past I've gotten discouraged and stopped trying. With this system you can practice perfect moderation! Also, my main issues contributing to my weight problem have always been snacks and sweets. I grew up learning how to cook healthy meals, and I do so for my family, and I already ate moderate portions at meals. I just used to permasnack all day long! I would grab handfulls of raisins, nuts or a slice of cheese several times between meals, and would bring home and eat junk food when I was stressed, celebrating, board, whatever. So anyway, I believe this is the perfect plan for me.
I have been inspired by all of your successes, thank you!
