    Hi guys, I'm Mitzi from La, I started NS April 10. First week on FF I lost 5.8 lbs, which was a miracle and great encouragement this would work. Last week nothing :'( . Now I'm on week 3. So I pray this continues to work for me. Everyone I find on NS is so positive about the program and so helpful to one another. This is such a blessing to see, especially in this negative world.

    I have fibromyalgia and thyroid issues. The pain never leaves, but some days are better than others. I know loosing weight will help. I've tried everything, my husband and I did low carb/high fat together and he lost 16 lbs. and I lost nothing. My cooking, my planning, etc. I finally said, "someone just TELL ME what to eat.....and COOK it for me" instead of me trying to figure out what would work for my body. Then the NS informercial came on and here I am.

    Hi all, I'm Deanna from Madison, WI. I have been on NS on and off since mid-March and have lost 6.4 pounds. (I know - on/off within those few weeks? Two times away from home - one Spring Break and one business trip with husband.) I have some medical issues that are being handled, and I am working hard on everything else to be my "best self", knowing my weight loss will not be as quick as others. But, it's OK.

    Love the support here!

    Hi Everyone! I am Jody and I am from North Dakota. I started NS in March of 2014. So far I have gotten rid of 71 pounds, and I am not quite, but almost, half way to my goal. I stalled over the winter, but I am finally starting to lose again. Whew. My son is getting married this summer and I really need to keep the numbers on my scale dropping. I am married and we have 3 kids in their 20's, and 2 dogs. I try to walk every day and I am so thankful to be done with winter!!

    Hi Mitzi! I have thyroid issues too. Levels are stable and the weight is coming off. A couple of weeks I only lost ounces but altogether I have lost 23 lbs. Don't give up!!

    Jody that's incredible! Congrats on your success. Our kids weddings are such blessed events. Keep doing whatever you're doing and know whatever number is on that scale on the day of the wedding you will be a winner - both with your weight loss and a NEW DAUGHTER!

    Hi Mitzi, I'll be praying for you to succeed as well. Also, please know it is totally normal for you to have a week with no loss or even a small gain. I am sure my wife Swati will be sharing her experience with you shortly.

    Welcome to the group Mitzi. Don't worry, the weight will come off. I didn't even lose 4 lbs on FF, but I stuck to it. I lose an average of about 2 lbs a week, but there are certain weeks I put on some weight or lose nothing...and I follow the plan strictly. I'm looking forward to watching you succeed.

    Hi all I'm Lynn from North Carolina. I started in January 2015. and I've lost 26lbs. Struggling a bit now but hanging in. I'm actually thinking MFP might be a better option for my tracking so while I don't like to make technology changes, perhaps there is a bright side after all. Hi everyone.

    Hi Lynn. I've been tracking here for about a month. It's so easy and convenient, especially from you smart phone. Really comes in handy when you are away from home.

    Yes, we all wish there was a like button here on the board, but on your Home Page and Profile Page newsfeed, there is a Like,Comment, Delete. You can also post your own news on both as well! All of your friends will see your postings, plus friends of friends.

    There are some issues and improvements being worked on ~ See MFP Announcements, etc. It is on your board Community page, scroll to see it. If you have tech questions concerning your Fitbit or whatever, of course this is in addition to all of the helpful info we are getting from Randy, Wendy, Michael, and others....you can read/research the maintenance boards/threads, etc. Right now, I can not remember exactly what the thread is called.

    Everyone have a great weekend! Got to get moving again!

    Hi everyone. I am from Ohio. I have dieting for years. I started NS January this year and down 20 pounds. Out of all of the diets I have been on this by far has been the easiest. I am a very slow loser. I might be able to give up hundreds of diet books I have tried over the years because this year I am going to make my goal !
