Okay, this is my 3rd day. My goal is to get in the habit and lose what ever weight I can before I go to a much needed trip to FLA during Easter break. Does anyone have some words of wisdom? Caroleann

Hey Carolann...
I'm new here too - no words of wisdom, sorry - but I am WISHING I had started this sooner. I'm going to FL on Wednesday and darn it, I'm starting at my worst! Congratulations on starting now! It will all be worth it.

I'm going to Florida too! Next week.
My words of wisdom are to plan in advance. You may want to count the entire vacation as S days, but it's pretty early to do something like that. On the other hand, there may be more temptation than usual (i.e., your every day N days). It might be smart to arm yourself with a plan about which days are S days and which aren't.
Have fun!

If I'm interpreting your request right, you want words of wisdom on how to lose the weight before you go on the trip? Certainly, it depends on how much weight you're talking about, but as we talked about it a discussion yesterday, No S is not about quick fixes or crash diets. With a little less than seven weeks before Easter break, you will want to consider that hopefully you have lost a few pounds, have begun to tone up a bit and that with good No S habits that you don't GAIN weight while you're there!
No S is a slow safe and sustainable process that you can LIVE with. (and not have to deprive yourself.)
Good luck! And have fun!

Thanks everyone. It's nice to know that there is support out there. I guess I just hope to establish some good habits before I go. Getting back into the habit of exercising again wasn't too hard...In fact, I forgot how good it feels. This, for me, is the most important aspect. I hope nothing happens to my MP3 player...it's my inspiration!
Nothing tastes as good as thin feels
