I started Nutrisystem with the intention of getting back on track. At 32 I had surpassed 240 lbs. and went on a diet with Slimfast Shakes and low fat dinners that I prepared. I was single at the time and had the time to prepare my own meals and exercise vigorously for about an hour everyday. Needless to say, I did lose about 30 lbs in 3 months, but it was hard work and I was always hungry. I’m now 40 and after several failed starts I decided to try Nutrisystem. Being married with two children, my time is much more limited. Nutrisystem is perfect for this reason. I don’t have to count calories– it’s all done online. The meals are reasonably good and you can choose the meals you want. The first month I went with the default menu and selected the meals I liked best for the second month. I’m following the menu strictly and my caloric intake averages 1300-1400 calories a day. All in all, I have been on the diet for 38 days and I have lost 27 lbs and 4 inches off my waist. Moreover, I’m rarely hungry and I feel much better physically. This program is well worth it!

I was on Nutri-System, and lost 7 pounds in six days because I followed the directions to the letter. Unfortunately, I did not continue because of the economy and the cost was no longer in my budget. I will be going back on it soon. I like the idea of not having to measure, or think about how much food to eat. Now that I've incorporated something new in my life to enhance weight loss, I have not doubt when I return to Nutri-System, I will reach, and keep my goal intact.

I just finished my first full week on Nutrisystem, and I surprisingly like it. I have yet to get onto the scale to figure out exactly how much weight loss has occurred (I want to wait until the full month is over).However, I do feel a lot better about myself!!! It was not hard for me to transition from regular food to Nutrisystem food because I hit that point in my life where I knew something had to be done! I am currently 5’8 and 200lbs, size 10 and I am 22 year old, and my goal is 135 lbs I am hoping to do this at least by next summer. The food is decent; you have to go into it knowing you’re not getting a gourmet meal. I like the cereal in the morning (add banana’s), and the pancakes are really good too! For lunch I prefer the soups like chicken noodle, and the vegetable beef, even the pasta. I didn’t like the Mac n cheese; you add boiling water and let it sit for 8 minutes. For dinner I really enjoy the ravioli (it tastes like chef Boyardee) I have a couple chicken breasts etc I have yet to try. I am a little unsure about trying those since they come in a box that you don’t need to keep in the freezer. The deserts are OK; I like the little chocolates other than that I could probably do without. I cut up cucumbers or a small salad to supplement and then I snack on 100 calorie popcorn between meals, I am honestly never hungry. I will report back at the end of the month! Wish me luck =)
