Emptydog! You reticent style cracks me up!
Sorry about the failure though ...
I was 250 lbs before I walked into Lakeside Hospital in Metarie Lousiana 9 years ago, to give birth to my wonderful son...
And I am only about 5'3! That was a very tough time... I'm now about 208 and I'd like to be around 170...
Things will improve...Stick to your guns, and if I may be so bold, can you post *two* sentences next time! Hee
Well, you're very mysterious this way... LOL...
How did you find NoS anyway? Just curious! You have us on the edge of our minimalistic seats!
(well at least figuratively, as my seat isn't so minimal!)
Peace and Good luck!
Deb

I understand the notion of a sloppy success, and agree that when you're starting out, it's best to avoid such fuzziness as much as possible (be "comically strict" as R. says). Since you're aware of this, you should have no problem achieving some clear-cut successes in the near future. Enjoy your first S weekend!

Empty dog
The strictness is there to help us, not make us feel bad when we aren't able to be so strict... Did that make sense? LOL It doesn't mean that a "sloppy" success, isn't still far preferable to not trying to change at all...
The ultimate goal, I believe of NoS is not just to lose weight, but to have a plan that is liveable and maintainable for a long happy life... In the end, if you are not over eating, and not over sweeting, you will defintely lose weight, even if you have some "sloppiness" As you can see from some of the posts, sometimes things "come up" which require a little improvisation logistically... Like times when people use "virtual plating..." at parties and stuff.. It's still being conscious, and I say, it's still being strict... Maybe not in a purely literal sense, but with the same end results... Good habits...
In what way was it sloppy anyhow?
No plates? What?...
Have a nice weekend!
Peace and Love,
Deb
