Anyone try Nutri-system lately??

[panfan]

Just started thinking about a program and checked out the online nutrisystem program. Wondering if anyone has tried this lately. I know most popular right now are Atkins and South Beach but for some reason I just can 't get a "low-carb" mindset. Any body??

Hi panfan!

I've been on nutrisystem since January, and I'v lost 38 pounds so far. It has been a little slow lately, but we have been doing a lot of traveling and I have been indulging a bit.

If you have any questions, ask away!

Did you try nutrisystem before. I did many years ago ( 13 the first time--you know when the centers were Everywhere!) Then a few years after I tried again and just had a hard time with the food. I like it and all but sometimes it is hard to justify the price ( you know especially the little boxes of cereal) HOWEVER, I have found that I do much better at dieting when I have a set menu and don't have to make too many choices! In that way the program is good. Maybe I could order enough for the month and just see how it goes.

Congratulations on your loss!!

Looks like I have a decision to make

Hi panfan,

No, I had never tried it before. I think I went to one of the centers once, just to see how much it would cost and I think I ran from shock, lol! I have a lot of weight to lose!

I don't order the cereals, because it just seems silly. But I love their breakfast bars and muffins. DH, on the other hand loves the cereals .

You can just order two weeks worth, to start, just to see how you like it. My dh has lost 42 lbs since January, too. He is on the weekends off, and quite often I take a day off on the weekends, also. We just follow the plan, but use our own food. Dh is very proud of the fact that he has eaten fried chicken every week on this diet and stll lost all that weight. LOL!! He loves KFC.

One of the reasons we have been successful on this diet, I think, is because it has taught us portion sizes. It is amazing how much food we used to eat! I think everything we ate before was equal to 3 portions, at least!

I'm here for you, anytime you need a question answered. Good luck in your decision!
