Wow, it’s been a couple of months and I was just reading my posts again about the time I went on a NutriSystem diet. It’s fun to read the posts! I read something and I’ll be transported to the feelings I had while I was initially writing them. Weird!
But do you know what I like most about looking back at my posts? The reality of the situation I’m in ‘today’. In one of my posts, the one when I was on the last day of the NutriSystem diet program, I said “if somebody told me I would lose this weight 4 weeks ago, I’d say they were pulling my leg! But now, I’m just so glad I want on this diet program”.
Today, I am, seriously, at he best weight I have ever been. This is because I really made a commitment this time. And because my reason were really to lose weight because I didn’t like the way I looked and felt anymore, I was getting slowly depressed about my weight and I feel that I caught myself right on time.
Looking back I think the best thing that Nutrisystem did for me is that I saw results right away. Knowing myself, I could have easily been discouraged if I didn’t see anything positive soon. Even just a pound lost, or a very slight loosening of the clothes I was wearing, was really all I needed to keep going and this diet program really gave me the boost I needed. Seeing the pounds go the first week was amazing for me and helped me hold on.
Was it difficult? Yes. Anybody going from ‘super size me’ servings to ‘well-portioned’ servings would!
Was it worth it? YOU BET!

Sorry I haven’t posted in awhile… the last time I made a post I was just getting off the NutriSystem diet because I’ve already lost all the pounds I wanted and yes, my Body Mass Index (BMI) reached 22 (normal). I knew the NutriSystem program was not to be on FOREVER but my personal experience is that it’s a damn good way to jumpstart your weight loss regimen! It really worked for me.
But now, I just placed an order for one-week. No, I didn’t gain tremendous weight or went back to my old habits but every now and then, when I feel like I’m beginning to get ‘less strict’ with my eating habits and activity engagements, I turn to NutriSystem to put me straight back on the right track. It’s just so easy for me! I don’t feel like I’m going on a diet or making drastic changes. What I feel is that I’m getting guidance on what I should do so that I don’t lose track. I also just think of it as ‘weight maintenance’.
Anyway, I ordered my food items for 1-week and I’m looking forward to eating them! Actually, this time, I’ll be having a ‘NutriSystem buddy’ because a friend of mine wanted to go on the same diet I was after she saw the results 
Never thought I’d be a walking advertisement for NutriSystem! Maybe I should contact them and be a ’success story’. LOL!
I’m so keen on what will happen to Janie (my friend) with this diet. I hope she gets the same fantastic results as I had!

I’m on my LAST day of the NutriSystem diet and just weighed myself… drum roll please… I lost 18.5 lbs in 4 weeks! If somebody told me I would lose this weight 4 weeks ago, I’d say they were pulling my leg! But now, I’m just so glad I want on this diet program.
I’ve heard people lose more but that’s ok, I’m not bothered because THIS is what my body wanted to lose in this time frame. I did my share by sticking to the diet, supplementing it with healthy food choices and being more active and that’s really the best I could have done in these past four weeks.
I’ve had my share of naysayers too. They said “Of course you lost weight. You were eating better and moving more, NutriSystem had nothing to do with it.” B.S. I would not have been interested or that committed in eating better or exercising more if I didn’t get into the NutriSystem diet program. We’re all different. Motivated by different things. Influenced by different things. And for me, the thought of having a structured meal plan that was as convenient as NutriSystem was the thing I needed to see this diet attempt through.
For those reading my posts, maybe NutriSystem will work for you, maybe it won’t. All I can attest to is that it worked for me and I’m living better than I’ve ever had in years! Don’t let others decide for you… I didn’t and I am SO glad about the choices I’ve made.
