I am 60 years old and a "professional dieter." Keeping the weight off seems to be the biggest challenge. I weigh 170lbs. (5'7") and I am headed for 150 lbs. I consider myself very active, as we live on a cattle ranch and have a busy lifestyle. However, I am good at eating while I work! I wear a pedometer every day and aim for 10,000 steps. If I eat 10,000 calories, the steps don't help!
This is day one for me on the No S diet plan. I ate a really big breakfast and was not hungry at all by lunch time. But I had a nice sandwich and ate every bite. This plan makes sense to me and seems like something I can stick with forever.
So here I go - - - getting thinner and thinner and thinner and healthier!
Thanks for all the info on this site. It is informative and fun.

Welcome to No S!
Welcome to our No S World!
Sounds as if you have the Urban Ranger part already under control! You're right, this site has so much info and positive camaraderie that helps us stay on habit.
When you have some time, when you're not out roundin'em up, check out the podcasts to hear Reinhard's thoughts on many aspects of No S and his other systems. Those and the tons of topics addressed in the discussion board will answer lots of those questions that may occur to you.
Hopefully this can be the last "diet" you ever need! It's really not even a diet--more a lifestyle!
Good luck!

LA Loser. . . well on my way to becoming an LA Winner. 
Day two
Thanks LA Loser.
Day two was successful! I ate large portions at each meal, but no snacking, no sweets and no seconds. I can see that I will need to cut back on the amount of meals when I get the snacking under control! I think I can do this!

Day three
Made it another day. Three big meals and absolutely no Ssssssss. Tried to convince my sister to join me. I think it is such a good plan and something anyone can live with. I ordered the book, too. I have not weighed yet, maybe tomorrow????
Day Four
I weighed today and have gained one pound. But I have not been exercising this week, just eating three large meals a day. Seems to have caught up with me, so started scaling back a bit on the quanities. I read that someone said "Don't be stupid." I think that is me. I am coming up on five days with no snacking and no sweets and no seconds - for me, that is a milestone. Yiippppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
almost 2 weeks
I am actually enjoying this eating plan! I just received the book in the mail and am sitting down to read it. It does contain some interesting facts and is worth purchasing.
I find this to be a plan I can really live with. I have not been hungry nor felt deprived. And to top it off, it seems healthy.
On the last S day, my husband and I shared a piece of gooy chocolate cake. It was delicious and satisfied my sweet craving.
We have eaten out several times and it was not a problem. I feel proud of my successes and will weigh tomorrow to see how I am doing. I gained a pound the first few days, but lost it during the next few.
This is great!

Another "professional dieter"
Hi Paddylu,
Thanks for tickerfactory.com reference. It sure adds something to your posts and is a good visual. I have signed up for one too and since I am a slow loser I chose the snail. Probably being a senior citizen does not help
I have just returned from a trip to NM to visit my daughter who lives on a farm in Stanley. I had been down 1.5 # before the trip but have had trouble sticking to the diet in the 5 days since we returned. Tomorrow (Monday) I will be starting over fresh.
Good luck to you in your weight loss adventure!

Hi Laguna: Glad you like the little tickers. I think they are cute, too. I chose turtles because we raise them and they are cute. However, like you, I am a very slow loser - always have been.
I had to look on my map to find Stanley, NM. I have been through it before. We live in the SW corner of NM.
I am glad to meet you and I wish you good luck with the great eating plan. I think it is so practical. I do think it gets harder the older we get, don't you? I am headed into my third week and I have managed to stay on it without much trouble. However, I am packing way to much onto my one plate meals. My goal for next week is to cut that back. I have lost one pound, so at least I am not gaining and I am never hungry.
Have fun.

I have completed THREE weeks on the No S plan and lost 2 lbs. This is a major accomplishment for me because I am not hungry and I do not feel like I have had to give up anything! Low/no carb has been my choice of weight loss plans for the past many years. This No S plan is a treat because I am eating carbs and loving them. I feel it is healthier for me. Giving up snacking has been the biggest item for me and I feel great about it. I refer to the book and re-read a paragraph when I sit down.
Thank you for this site and the Diet.
