More than ever, I am excited about this spring.  As the weather warms up and we start to unwrap from our cocoon, I am getting more compliments every day about the weight loss!

This is an unexpected benefit and a true motivator to stay the course and reach that goal.  So far I have lost 52# in 5 1/2 months.  I still look at myself and think I am too fat, but what must have been going through my mind as I allowed myself to reach a high of 292 lbs!

I am here to tell you that NS has changed my life.  I feel like a new person now.  I can't wait to get to my goal weight of 200 lbs or less!

Don't get me wrong.  I won't be modeling any swimwear this year, but I sure do feel better about the way I look.

Thanks again NS for giving my back my life!

Today I finally dropped below 240 on the scale.  239.8 to be exact!  52.6 lbs gone!  I never thought it possible that I would have this kind of success. 

To all you newbies out there wondering if you made the right choice?  You did!  You can do this too.  Stick to the plan.  Forgive yourself and even allow yourself to slip now and again and you will see results.

To those in the midst of a plateau! Hang in there.  This too shall pass and the scale will move again.

Yesterday in church a friend who I haven't seen since last summer came up to my wife and I, said hello then turned to my wife and said you guys are looking great.  Looks like he lost a few pounds!  Wow did that feel fantastic!

Thanks to NS and the people on here willing to share their experiences.  You kept me going and left me know it wasn't just me.  Thanks for all the support.

Now on to the goal!

Does anyone else have a pair of pants that they kept because they are "going to get back into them again"? Well...I do...and now I do! Thanks to NS and learning new habits, I have dropped 50 lbs in 5 months. On Saturday, I pulled those "pants" off the rack and tried them on. To my amazement, they FIT! So far I have now officially dropped 4 waist sizes in my pants! I never really thought I would get back into those pants. Now, I have renewed motivation to keep going! Good luck friends. Stick with it. It really works if you want it to! Curt

Hi All.  It's happy dance time.  Today is weighin and the scale has finally moved down to the 50th lb lost!  I can't tell you how many times in the past I thought to myself...If I could only lose some weight.

Well, I have actually done it.  I have lost 50 lbs in 5 months!  How good does that feel?!

OK.  Enough patting myself on the back.  I still have 40 lbs to go to reach my ultimate goal.

Thanks NS for all the help and support.  There really was no way this would have happened on my own.

Have a great weekend everybody!

Curt

5 months ago I made the decision to finally change my life.  I ordered NS and made a huge step toward losing weight.

If you would have told me when I started this program that I would still be commited to it, I would have doubted that.  That said, this has been the best program I have ever participated in!  It is very simple to follow, the food has been very good, and even the reduced portion size has not been an issue.

So...how have I done you ask.  I started NS on Sept 14, 2009 at 292 lbs.  Today, 5 months later, I am at 244 lbs.  That is 48 lbs lost in 5 months!  I am so pleased with this program, I could quite my job and be a spokesperson for NS!

To those who have gone before me, Thank you for your example, encouragement and support.  It does make a difference to people following your lead.

To those following behind me, may I be that same example and encourager to you.

To those wondering if they should give this a try.  It has worked for me and many others.  If  your mind is ready to make the commitment, then jump in and get started.  Your life and health may depend on it!

If anyone needs support or would like to ask any questions, feel free to contact me on my blog or through private message on my page.

I look forward to hearing from you and seeing you enjoy the success that I have!

Have a great NS day!

Had a very good week on NS this week. Finally starting to see the scale move again. Down 1.5 lbs this week for a total of 48.4 lbs! Spent over 2 hours shoveling today. That's right the good ole shovel. Feelling a bit stif and sore, but it was sure nice not carrying all that extra weight. Hope you all have a great week and enjoy the Super Bowl! Curt

Well after a month long plataeu, some of it self inflicted, the scale and measuring tape is showing favorable results!

Down 2.6 lbs and 5.3"!!!  It has been a bit of a struggle with the holidays and travel, but I hope I am finally learning how to handle restaurant food and make good decisions.

I will be traveling about every other week this year for work so it will be a good test to see how well I have learned the lessons and what I can get away with on the road.

I have found so far that any weight I gain on my trips, does come off rather quickly when I get home and get back to 100% NS.

How is everyone else doing with the plan?  Love to hear from you about your success and difficulties.

If I can help you, just let me know.

Curt

I finally made it to the halfway mark this week.  The holidays slowed everything down, but I decided I was going to enjoy them with my family and not sweat the eating so much.  All in all, I only gained about 3 lbs during that time and have since lost it plus some more.

I am amazed that after 118 days on the plan, I am still sticking to it.  There is no sweeter motivator than success!

Now must pack my bags for an early morning trip to Minnesota for a week of business.  Looking forward to getting back into the routine, but wish I had some warm weather states in my territory.

Have a great week NS friends!  Keep the weight droppin.

Curt

Hi All.  Hope everyone enjoyed the holiday's as much as I did.  Today it is back to work and back on plan with NS.

As requested, I have put up a new pic or 2 during the holidays.  Hopefully you can see the difference from the before NS pics.

I begin the New Year up a little after endulging in the holiday fare, but I still feel great about the big picture.  Down a total of 41 lbs since 9/14/2009.  Now back to the plan to lose the remaining 50 lbs.

Looking forward to hearing from everyone this year and sharing our success stories and encouraging each other.

Best wishes to you for a successful 2010 and a Happy New YOU!

Curt

Hi All!

Well, I hope this post finds you safe and blessed after Christmas 2009.  I had a great day with the family in our home.  Kids home from college, In-Laws home from Florida, all the gifts and the traditional Christmas Feast.

I did not stick to the NS plan for the day, but I did notice I cannot eat nearly as much as I used to.  That's OK.  That is part of the plan. 

Some of you have been asking for some updated photos since I lost 46 lbs, so here you go.

Wishing you joy and happiness for a great 2010 New Year!

Curt

I want to wish each and everyone of you a very Merry Christmas! 

Thank you for your support and encouragement in the past 3 months.  I look forward to starting a New Year with renewed determination to complete my weight loss journey, a journey you all are a part of.  I owe thanks to you for your part in my success.  As I finish out 2009, I have reached the half way point in my 92 lb trip. 

I hope to be posting some new pictures after the holiday's to document the success so far.  It is truly inspiring to read your blogs and messages. 

Here's to a lighter, brighter 2010!

God Bless,

Curt
