Everyday Systems

Hello everyone,

I'm starting off with No-S today.

I weighed in late last night at 315 pounds (to be fair, that was after indulging quite a bit, so that's probably artificially a few pounds higher).

I don't really have a set goal in mind, I just intend to keep going until I think I look good and feel good. I'd like to have a BMI that isn't "overweight." So that would be about 184 pounds, although I actually have a feeling that might be a little low for me. I have broad shoulders and a big frame. We'll see.

I should probably state this right off the bat:
I'm will be challenging myself to be more strict than No-S requires.

That is, when my motivation is high, I'm going to try and commit to more demanding diet and exercise. And when it's low, or when I'm not in a situation that permits me to be more demanding, then I'm going to use No-S as my structure. I think this is psychologically the best bet for me. And I think ultimately that's what you need to look for. People talk a lot about finding the best diet for their body, but I think it's really about finding the best diet for your mind.

Welcome! Good luck with No S'ing.

Thanks, gk.

Well, the good thing about having so much to lose, and doing my first weigh-in after a nice big meal is that the results after 1 day can seem so impressive.

I'm one day in -- an N-day, as a matter of fact -- and I'm down 8.4 pounds. At this rate, in a little over a month, I should be a zygote.

My next weigh-in will be Saturday morning.
