I HAVE FINALLY EARNED MY 50-LB. BEAR!!!
I'M SO EXCITED! AS OF TODAY, I HAVE OFFICIALLY LOST 51.5 POUNDS
ON NS! YAY! I still have 15 pounds to lose, but I WILL DO IT! This is by
far the best program I have ever been on, and I've tried most of them.

NS ROCKS!!!!
How do I do it? I eat NS foods and stay on the program most of the time.
I also exercise generous portions of WANT power and WILL power.
I WANT to see my grandchildren grow up;
I WANT to live a long, healthy life; and
I WANT that life to be meaningful and not full of pain and misery.
I WILL lose weight to accomplish my WANTS.
I WILL remain on the NS program until I reach my goal.
I WILL use the NS maintenance program to help me keep off the
weight when I finally reach that goal.
Results of my weight loss to date?
I have a bad hip, which no longer gives me the pain it did.
I have (as does anyone who loses weight) made my load-bearing joints
much happier and less painful.
I'm 66 years old and feel and look younger than I have in years.
To those just starting the program, you, too, can lose if you just hang
in there and don't give up. Allow yourself to make mistakes (goodness
knows, I made my share of them) and as I said in an earlier blog, get back
on that horse and ride when you fall!! That's key. Hugs to all of you!
