Ugggh! Help and Advice
Posted: Sat May 28, 2011 1:21 pm
I have been on vanilla NoS since May 11th. That was a Wed. and I completed that week without any slip ups. The next week, I had one day during the week where I had a small mistake (I finished the rest of my son's frozen yogurt). Then the following week (last week) I had one day where I failed because of having friends over (this day was a pretty bad one). Anyway, all in all, I feel like I have been following the program pretty well. I have also been exercising about 15 min a day Mon-Fri. I am also a pretty active person because I have kids.
My S days have been pretty crazy but I wouldn't say I've been binging all day during those days. Anyway, all that to say, I have been doing NoS for about 2 1/2 weeks and really haven't noticed a change in my weight at all. I know the scale isn't necessary my friend and I also had female issues (sorry guys) during one of those weeks but I still feel like I should have lost at least a pound or two. My family is going to the beach, and I know I would feel so much more encouraged going there, if I had just lost a couple of pounds. I really only have about 5-10 pounds to lose, but I can't understand why I haven't seen any changes.
I keep wondering if it is possible to lose weight on NoS even if you don't have a lot to lose. I would think anytime you cut out your sugar intake, no matter how much you have to lose, that you would see a difference, but now I am not so sure. I really want to continue doing NoS but I wonder if I will ever see changes, or if it's possible that I might even gain!
I really like the sense of control that NoS gives me and how I feel like I can tell myself "No". I have also noticed changes in my complexion now that I am not eating so much sugar. The program is great and I love it and really want to continue it. I guess I am just feeling a bit discouraged and wondering if anyone else has done NoS with only about 5-10 to lose.
Thanks!
