I have only been on Nutrisystem for 4 days and have lost 5.5lbs! I am only on it to lose 17 lbs and it's a great way to kick start yourself. Most of the food is great and some is lousy, but the diet DOES work. Just order the "variety pack" the first time, then go back through and order what you like!

I'm in my late 40s and have been overweight my entire life. I've never been able to stick to a diet (have tried Weight Watchers, Diet Center, a few others). The hardest thing has always been all the preparation that goes into cooking the correct foods. And if you have a busy lifestyle, that's really hard to do. Nutrisystem makes it so easy. Not only is the food fairly tasty, but I haven't felt hungry since Day 2 of going on the program. Included in the Nutrisystem Advance program are some self-help manuals (one dealing with psychological issues - I found it quite helpful!), log books for your eating and exercise and a DVD with an exercise program centered on walking by fitness expert Leslie Sansone (men get a different fitness DVD). It is the first exercise program that hasn't had me watching the clock. It's fairly cream-puff, but you can make it more strenuous as you get more in shape. And before you know it, you've walked a mile in your living room! About the food: Most of it is excellent (my favorites are meatloaf & mashed potato, spinach cheese ravioli), some of it not so much (eggs, cranberry granola bars). But you get to pick your own entrees, so after month one, food that's not to your liking shouldn't be much of a problem. The main emphasis is on portion control and, since your main course at all three meals is covered, all you add in is fruit, vegetables and dairy.

Started nutrisystem about 5 months ago. Love the program. I have lost about 20 pounds and the weight has stayed off. What's even better is my energy level makes me feel like I am in my 20's again.
