Hi all, My name is Fran and I am waiting for my NS to get here. They did not tell me they were closing down the blogs and support when I ordered ny food, but happen to see this on a blog post on their website. I am so glad that I found all of you because I am going to need support and hope I can give support to all of you

    Hi Fran. I'm Phyllis. I sign my notes P~ . I'm glad you found us too! I've been with NS since the second week of January and am down 37 pounds as of last Monday. :) I believe you will like the program. The support from NS users was something I found irreplaceable. That is why we all migrated here in a collective unit. ;) I am so glad you found us and will hang with us. Feel free to friend me -- Shie1 -- if you would like. I will help support you any way I can. The biggest step was making up your mind to do NS....now let the fun begin!! All the best, P~

    You could click on the name under my picture in this thread. There will be a button there to ask to "friend". Click on that, and you can write a message if you like, and then send. The person on the other end has to accept. I sent you a friend request. :)

    You can also use the "find members" tab at the top of this page. Community, then find members, then you would type in the members name -- for instance if it was me, you would type in Shie1 -- and follow prompts from there.

    Welcome Fran! I'm starting my second month on NS, so I'm new as well. As a newbie, one thing they didn't tell me when I ordered the first time is that when you do the Fast 5 first, then the 1st week doesn't include extra protein and carbs like a normal week does, just lots and LOTS of veggies. I ended up giving groceries away because I didn't know. Good luck!

    I Fran -- I'm Patty, and am at the 2 1/2 week mark, so not far ahead of you. I'm thru FF, and into my regular program. So far so good :) This group is great -- as soon as I started, I heard on the NS site that certain things were closing down, so I just scooted right over here :) It's a wonderful bunch of folks --- I think you'll be happy.

    Welcome Fran, I'm Anita. I've been on NS for 10 weeks and I find the NS members are very supportive and helpful. I've been struggling for years trying to get my weight under 200 and it wasn't until I joined NS that I was able to do that. Part of the credit goes to the NS members themselves because of the ideas and support they give.
