After years of lurking on the NoS boards, I've finally registered to become a bit more active in the community. This is such a sane, doable way of eating that I've come to believe in strongly.
Briefly, I'm 47, married, with two grown children. I have been searching for a way of eating that fits in with normal life, and can be followed indefinitely--NoS is it! Thank you to Reinhard for coming up with the guidelines.
My stats before starting: 5'5", 122-125 lbs.
My "during" stats: 5'5", 115-116 lbs.
Time it took from "starting" to "during": Two months
Activity: 10K steps a day (monitored with help by Fitbit Zip)
How I do NoS: Three meals, no seconds, seven days a week. Meals can include snacks and/or sweets, and always include a protein that I find palatable (I'm a carb girl at heart, so this is a hard rule for myself to ensure I get enough of this important nutrient).
I am definitely a work in progress, and can improve on various things. But hopefully, my version of doing NoS will provide some encouragment to others that it's possible to do non-vanilla and still get to where you want to be.
The challenge now is to maintain and continue to make progress!
I'm looking forward to spending more time on the boards and getting to know everyone.
