Need support.  Starting 1/2/08.  Need to lose 90 lbs.  I'm 44 yrs old, have 3 boys, 13, 8 & 7 and have reached and all new high in my weight.  I have plummeted to 245 lbs & have completely lost any ability in liking myself.  Luckily, this Christmas my husband finally hit the right button and surprised me with the first month to NS.  I couldn't have loved or appreciated another gift as much as this.  Besides knowing that my first month has already been paid for, I also know that I have his support for as many months that I need to be on this.

Hey Marlene,   I have been with NS for just 7 days now and i remember telling my mom on day 3 that i all ready felt thinner also.  In fact i cheated and weighed myself after two days and had lost 2.5 pounds, but i believe it has to do with the amount of water i am now drinking vs the food at that early date. Anyway, i would love to be a NS friend.  Right though i need to go to bed, i have had my grandson all day and i am worn out. Type @ you later.

So yesterday I was down about my weight gain and you all were so nice and had some great suggestions on what to do.  Thanks to all of you.  My daughter gave me another reason yesterday to stay on track and lose this weight and get healthy.  I am going to be a grandma again in April!!!  I am just so excited.  I want to be around for a long time to watch my little ones grow up.  How much more incentive does one need.  Good luck to all this week you have super positive vibes coming from me today!!

I GAINED weight this week.  1 whole pound.  I stayed on program and if anything ate less then I was supposed to.  How can you gain weight when you are eating less then 1100 calories a day????  I spent a lot of money to gain weight.  And I could understand if I went out and had some pizza or fast food or something.  This is quite a set back for me.  I was so close to hitting onederland and now I have to lose 2 pounds again to make it instead of the one I thought for sure I could lose this week.  Well thanks for listening to me vent.  Not sure what to do now.

I just got home to my second order.  Thank goodness I can eat good food now.  Some of this stuff is just awful.  It is nice that we can decide what we want and don't want.  I was a little bummed though as I didn't get my little red 10 pounds bear.  Do they just know to send it or do I have to do something?  Lite thoughts to all my NS buddies.

Here it is week #4 and I wanted to make it to onederland.  I had snuck a peek at the scale the other day and found it was in sight, alas the scale got stuck because I peeked. lol  However, I did manage to lose 4 pounds this week for a total of 12.4 pounds total.  I plan on taking more pictures on the 10th (1 month), but I don't think it is really noticeable yet.  That doesn't matter, because I feel good just knowing the weight is coming off.

I snuck a peek at the scale this morning and I am .6 pounds away fron onederland!!!  I am so excited.  I have two more days to lose that .6 as my acutal weigh in day is Tuesday.  Oh it will be so nice to see that 1 in front of my weight.  I will never forget the morning that ugly 2 first snuck up.  I just sat down and cried.  However it still took me almost a year to do something about it.  NS really works and I love it!!
