I know that I am still very new to the NS program, but I have noticed a couple of things that I think seem to be relevant as I am losing quite well in my opinion. Safely and steadily thus far. I just am not sweating it too, too much actually. I stick to the plan "100%" 95% of the time;), if that makes any sense. But if I make dinner one night and for some reason I really want some...I simply have a meal with family , drink all my water plus...and be a good girl from there on out again. Maybe even skip my dessert that night. I feel satisfied not guilty and the craving is gone. When we go out or out of town I have a little of what I want , maybe even more than a proper diet portion but still I don't gorge. And drink gobs of water...that is one thing I do faithfully ..lots of water, real cold water and green tea twice a day.

I'm getting a little exercise in addition to my toddler chasing , housekeeping, business running...lol. But I am losing, and feel like I've found a workable zone for the plan...., for me anyway. I know some here lose alot more weight, alot more quickly than I am. I feel like maybe my skin will have time to adjust to, and lose my weight this time in a way that I can "FOR SURE" keep it off. I guess I just wanted to share what seems to be working very well for me. Feel free to give me your opinions and your lil ideas for customizing the plan to fit your life. best wishes to all you BIG LOSERS. :))
