Hello;

I've been away for a while. I got hooked on another site and have been meaning to 
come 
back here for a progress report. When I started at the beginning of the year I was 
always 
looking for reports from people who had been on nos for a while. Well, I 
have.

I started the first of the year and never looked back. It was easy - I'm still 
surprised how 
easy. Shoot, do what the intro says. That's it. You are never asked to starve 
yourself, fill 
your plate exactly this way or that way. Use common sense.

I've lost twenty pounds, from 220 to 200 at 6', and several belt holes. I'm happy, 
don't feel 
too heavy, but most of all I am out of the habit, as I was the first week or two, of 
eating 
like a pig, constantly and anything. I have mentioned in a long ago post how it 
really saves 
a lot of money.

For you scale watchers: I am too. I don't recommend it but that's what I do. The good 
thing 
is I never cared what the scale said. I liked not eating like a pig, the light, 
healthy feeling 
of hunger before dinner, and saving money. One thing I have noticed that may be of 
some 
interest and comfort to those who worry about the stupid scale, I did not lose 
steadily. It 
went down in stairstep fashion. For a month and a half or so I would see no change on 
the 
scale. Then all of a sudden I would drop four or five pounds.

I don't know why that is. My feeling is that my body decided to be at a certain 
weight and 
just kept it there out of orneriness. Then, after about a month and a half it finally 
became 
convinced I was serious about not eating enough to maintain that weight and said, 
"Ok, 
he's serious. Drop four or five and hold steady again." Ha! I own my body! It's 
in My house, 
fool! Yo!

I would like to get just under 185. I've been slack on my exercise because of, well, 
uh, 
Iduhno. I'll still drop without exercising more, but I'll have to get more active 
again to 
reach my final goal. In the meantime, forever if need be, I'm happy.

I recommend nos to anybody who asks. I'm surprised at how many don't try it. Oh well, 
I'll 
only mention it once, then it's their business, their loss.

The site I have been hooked on lately is bronzebowpublishing.com/forum. The exercises 

they talk about are a great complement to shovelglove. Some people in the past have 

posted here that they exercise, lose weight, but their body shape is not what they 
want. 
The body control exercises at the site are very good for teaching you to carry your 
body 
well, good posture, etc.. I have no connection to the site other than as a 
fan.

Well, that's my report. I'll be back. Nos is a life habit. Thank you Reinhard. The 
simple 
beauty of it still amazes me. I hope you don't mind my recommending this site to the 

other guys, too. I got good responses.

Tom
