....Jules :)
That's fantastic that you "feel" you have lost weight! It's really 

amazing how much "weight" (meaning importance) we give to the 

scale... I do it sometimes too, usually when I "feel" like I am 

doing well, and conversly I really avoid weighing when I feel like 
maybe I was "off course" for a couple of days...Why confirm and 

focus on a bad patch, it's mental abuse...Consider this, Reinhard 
didn't weigh himself till about 2 months into the process...He just 
focused on strengthening his "habit resolve"...

I have personally found that when I lost weight in the past, 1 inch 
off my waist normally equated to a weight loss of somewhere between 
5-8 lbs. So maybe consider measuring your waist...Ultimately you 
are achieving a goal of "shrinking down", lbs lost can be less 

inspiring (although I can't say I have stopped with the scale either)
For example...I have lost 5 lbs so far, but because I am really 
exercising much more regularly through Urban Ranger and SG, I have 
gone down 2 inches since the beginning of September! Which seems 
more inspiring to me? The waistline...Muscle really does weigh more 
than fat because it's much denser. If I can get down into 
non "plus" sizes this year I will be ecstatic (literally), and this 

will happen :)
The other thing to consider on ANY diet is that often the first 5 
lbs or so, dropped, are often water weight...That doesn't mean they 
don't count though.

Anyway, this plan is so SIMPLE I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE ITS NOT BEEN 
MARKETED(JOKING REINHARD) I can tell you truly want to help 
people,give them a key to a healthy life.

....Amen! I agree :)
I tried to influence Reinhard to at least get some sort 
of "thankyou" tip/fee for all his efforts and giving, but he wrote 

back that it might interfere with people's trust of the system, 
since the diet industry is so loaded with "false" 
profiteering "prophets"...When he put it in those terms, I realized 

that it was the truth...It might have hindered me to try out NoS if 
there was money involved at the get go....He's just a natural at 
giving advise anyway...I looked up the name "Reinhard" on an 

Etymology of Names website, since it's not really a common name here 
in the US, and it actually translates into "Strong (or "hardy")
*Advisor*" (Regin meaning; to advise)
So see, he was born to do this! LOL
Incidentally, my name, Deborah is the Hebrew word for "Bee"
Which probably is why I buzz around so much :)


But you could be the next John Basedow. you do have better looks 
than him and are in just as good or better physical condition.Hope I 
am not overstepping myself:) 

....John Basedow? Who the heck is that? LOL I guess it must be some 
diet guru :)
A While back, Jules, I posted a very "high school" mentality message 

entitled "Attention Ladies, Our Founder Be'eth a Hunk" when I 

discovered his "Obligatory Before and After" photos, noting that I 

believed the pics would "inpire" us! LOL. So if *THAT* didn't 

embarrass him, I don't think *anything* would!
I think that within the NoS Yahoo Group there will be a growing 
subset of NoS'sers who are Reinhard NoS Yahoo "Groupies"! LOL
It couldn't happen to a nicer person, and someone who, to quote an 
anonymous friend from the female contingent of NoSsers, "perfect 
material for hero worship" LOL :) (you know who you are, tee hee!)

well i will quit blabbering TTYL Julie
...Consider yourself amongst friends, and a lightweight blabberer. I 
think I take the blabber "cake" 
Keep the good vibes going! :)
Have a fun "sans hurricane" day in the Swamp State :)
Peace and Love,
Deb"Bee"
