New to board!

Post by Brent_Corkins » Sun Oct 11, 2009 3:10 am

Hi! I have been nos'ing for the last couple of weeks, I really find it helps me to stay sane. I have done all sorts of diets. I have been succesful and have come down form 365 lbs to around 250 or 260 ish. And I am thinking about becoming a personal trainer. To teach and help other with weight problems. My main emphasis is on full body strength training about 2-3 times a week in a HIT style. Cardio I dont really do, I have a 1 1/2 old Mastiff that I walk 2-3 times a day. My job also keeps me active, I deliver furniture for a furniture company. So I am always lifting, walking or carrying something. The no's helps to concentrate on eating good, and not worrying about snacking all the time. My Father eats this way and is 60 years old and still has a 6 pack and does chin-ups.lol. So I am hoping this will keep me from going insane and not driving my self crazy.

Welcome in. I think you've pegged No-S: it puts the concentration on eating well and not fussing over every calorie, type of food, etc. Good luck!

Welcome! I think especially given all the exercise you do, you'll get a lot of bang for very little buck with no-s.

Welcome! I just wanted to say I think it's great you're thinking about becoming a personal trainer. Exercising is a big part of my life, so I like to meet and read about people who are helping other people improve their health and fitness.

Welcome Brent! What a wonderful way to give back! What could be better than to have someone who *has been there* to help another person struggling with weight and exercise issues. People like you make this world a better place for the rest of us. Best wishes on your NoS journey.
