Almost there!
My scale said I was at 193 lbs this morning. I'm not gonna call it until that weight is more consistant. That puts me within 3lbs of - 50lbs. We'll see. Staying positive and moving forward. I anticipate the NS Food would have put me at my goal sooner. The NS program with civilian food works but a little slower. It's all…

Maintenance Program
My next two months will be "weekends on my own" plan. Even though I try to do weekends on my own anyway, I have extra NS food to back me up. But I actually ordered the plan this time. Im so afraid of stepping out of the food plans but seen a 6 month "Maintenance" plan I could choose when I'm ready. Has anyone done or doing…

Goal! I did it!
Good morning everyone! I did it! After trying unsuccessfully to control my weight for the past, all my life really, trying and failing so many times, feeling like a failure and even giving up hope for the last several years, I finally reached my goal weight of a healthy weight in the middle of the BMI range. After hitting…

Just a quick question
I don't know if this is a good idea or not. I am using the box that my fast 5 came in and put my next 7 days of meals in the box. Is that a good way set myself up for success?

Food Values
Just a heads up.... periodically check the calories and other values of the foods that you are putting into your diary. I am noticing MANY of them are incorrect and at the end of the day I want it to be accurate so that I can see where I am at calorie/sodium/carb counts are. I click on them and correct them.

NS Food on Review
I just finished the frozen enchilada dinner, and it was fantabulous (not to be confused with Flabulous ;) ). It really rivals my all time favorite ... Turkey medallions (also frozen). If you are jonesing for Mexican food, this is a definite try.

I Gave it to God
I am not ashamed of my faith, so if that kind of thing bugs you, you may not wish to read this blog. Five and a half years ago was the first time in my adult life I reached a weight of under 200 pounds. I had been fat and miserable with no self-esteem from the time I got pregnant with my first child in 1981, until I got…

NS Food Tweaks
On the NS blogs, I posted that using the vegetarian chili to make chili dogs makes a great tasting meal. But now that I'm used to smaller portions, it's too much at once! I'll have to make it in the afternoon and have it as two meals, which makes sense anyway since it uses both a protein and a 1 carb. How are you guys…

The terms "obese" and "overweight"
We hear these words said all the time and they are now associated with a negative connotation as well as an implication that someone who is obese or overweight are lazy or bad people. These words by themselves are objective neutral terms. But people have perverted their original meanings to insult people. Objectively,…

Please Introduce Yourself
It looks like the NS Group hit 200 members today! I noticed there are a lot of members I do not remember from the NS site and thought it would be nice for everybody to introduce/reintroduce themselves. I'm Mike. I started NS on 2/22/15 along with my wife Swati. I am currently down 31 lbs on a mission to a 50 lb loss. We…

Awesome non NS Recipes!
I have not had access to NS food in 7 weeks. Other than the Craving Crusher shakes, I don't plan on going back to NS food. I'm looking for ideas, awesome recipes, equivalent soups and bars, etc. I have been eating Healthy Choice soup, Progresso Light Soup, Weight Watcher's Cereal, Atkins Chocolate Chip Granola bars, etc.…

PB2 Your opinion
Hey guys, just bought a jar of PB2. I was so excited. I love peanut butter and feel like 1 TB is never enough, just a tease. So when I heard there was an alternative which has 85% less fat and 1/3 the calories, I was over the moon. Well...I was. I brought it home on Sat. I tried a small amount on Sat. night. It was just a…

I am challenging myself to purposefully walk or jog at least 1 mile a day in May, so I thought ilI would throw the challenge out to you guys as well! Who is in? I will post here how long I walked or jogged every day to stay accountable. To start May out, I did 1.92…

Baking with Protein Powder or Fiber
OK, have any of you tried cooking with the Quest Protein Powder yet? (or any other protein powder for that matter)? I know I have read that the Quest version is supposed to be one of the best to try to bake with which is why I threw out that brand name. I made one of the muffin recipes from one of the Marlene Koch books…

Suggestions
I was wondering if anyone has some snack ideas that fit into the 3 free 35 calorie items the program allows?

Goal confusion
I am not sure how to figure my calorie goals! Fitbit did an automatic rate for me based on current weight and how much I want to lose, and how fast. They came up with 1700 calories a day. But MFP also did an automatic plan, and they came up with 1432. I do not lose weight no matter what I do, so what I am trying to do is…

Nutrisystem smoothies
Has anyone tried the nutrisystem smoothies? I got an email to buy one and get one free. I ordered the blueberry and the strawberry/banana. I figure if I mix it in my magic bullet with ice it will be okay. They are normally $17 a box. I got two boxes for that price plus an additional 20% off with free shipping. Not a bad…

Almost at goal... starting to look ahead at what's next....
So thanks to NS, I'm down 50 something pounds, from around 200 lbs to 149 lbs and am less than 5 lbs from goal now... and at the slow pace I'm losing now, I might get there in the next month or two. I've been using this time to look at what I need to do to not gain it back, as well as set new goals. The good news is that I…

Emotional Eating
I've always liked to eat but never considered myself an emotional eater until I had a really rough Monday this week. First thing in the morning, I received a call that my very good friend Tonya had passed away from breast cancer. She wasn't even 40 years old. Then Swati's mom was experiencing chest pain and went to the ER.…

Still settling in
Hi everyone. I started NS, a month ago. Several of my friends who are about my size and age have lost on the diet. One friend has lost 25 lbs in 3 months, another lost 40 in 2 months. I have lost 10lbs so far. Which is big for me. I have tried Atkins, Weight Watchers, starvation, lol... It turns out my hormones are all…
