HI Everyone, Just checking in and was greatly inspired by everyones post today. I weighed this morn and am down a total of 5#. I am still diligently using the treadmill and enjoying it. Was actually more than useful last night as our heat stopped working in the house and it was 40 out. so i was cold and got real heated up on the mill. Dual funtions i love it :) I have a long way to go to my goal weight but i am sticking with it. An update on my 13yo who started this with me last year. drum roll please....... she has gone from a size 13 to a size 7 . She is a new person. She also has cut way down on her diet pepsi(like mom like daughter)because it makes her feel bloated(sodium and carbonation)we are all so excited for her that she has done this for herself. noone forced her to. Now she is counseling friends and telling them about the NOS diet, so dont be surprised to start seeing more teens posting some day soon. So much healthier and life giving than anorexia and bulemia. This weekend we took out of her closet another bag full of clothes that are falling off of her.:)))))) we are going shopping again after work today for a few things to see her through. She now has inches to lose and firming up in her tummy. On another note: I believe we all know what our "best weight is" so i believe it is best to get to the weight of which i consider my safe weight. I am 5'6 and weighed 175# Jan.1st. My safe weight where i feel the best, most energy is 125# Now most people would be like OMG that is way too thin. but i know when i am at that weight( which i was 4 years ago) how i feel. Incredible, Sexy, Energetic, Youthful I truthfully and whole heartedly want to see myself that way again. So all of this to say, don't let other people set your goals for you. If you know in your "knower " what you should weigh. Then go for it. If you have never weighed that "## " but want to, then try it, if you decide its too thin once you get there, we all know what to do to put it back on now don't we :) I hope this helps some one today, its been on my mind as people tend to ask " how much are you trying to lose when they find out you are on a new diet" I just want to tell them MYOB ( to put it nicely !)So set your short term goals and your long term goals, we need them both to do this. A goal analogy for you: When I was bidding a large granite job last year to do in the Bahamas this year. I didn't bid the job saying to myself i will just bid one building and see how it goes, i bid all seven buildings with the belief i would get all 7 buildings.That was my long term goal. We would complete the work in one building at a time(short term goals and progress) If i had as my goal to just get one of the buildings, the corp. would have laughed me out of the boardroom and said my belief in my company wasn't going to cut it for this project, By the way- i did get the contract for the 7 buildings and we start in March. It will be our best year ever in business!! So very glad I went for the whole enchilada and not just one bite ! SO believe in yourselves, go for the whole enchilada one bite at a time.My goals are set high at 55#, but they are doable, because I believe in myself, this group, this NOS diet. Thanks for everyones love and encouragement. I am not usually this wordy,so dont get used to it :) Love to all JOOLS |
