I just ordered Nutrisystem...how are you doing on it?

[MickeysMommy]

I don't have a tremendous amount of weight to lose but just enough to make me uncomfortable. I tried WW but that counting is for the birds. I tried Somersize for about a day but I think buying all the stuff to start out cost more that NS. So, I'll try it. I am on the M-F 4 week with weekends off plan.

How are you girls doing that are on Nutrisystem?

 

[poohbear2]

I just purchased this plan myself! I haven't received the shipment yet. I can't wait! Did you get it from QVC?

 

[MickeysMommy]

Yes, I did. Did you? We'll have to be "partners".

 

[poohbear2]

I just got my shipment today!! Anyone else???

 

[AlexandNessa]

Would like to join you.

I am on the full plan (no weekends off). I would like to drop 12 pounds before we leave on vacation 3/2. I am on day 3 of the plan now, and am honestly surprised that I'm not hungry. Knock on wood; haven't cheated yet. I have also kicked up my exercise. Just hoping I can keep it up.

I am the heaviest I've ever been, and my clothes were getting tight and uncomfortable. If I could lose a full 20 pounds, I'd be wicked happy!

I ordered it from QVC as well- but it hasn't been delivered yet. How does the food taste?

 

[AlexandNessa]

The food is OK. Certainly nothing you would rave about. I got to choose my own meals, and from what I gather, QVC offered a pre-chosen package, so I'm not sure what meals are in that.

The muffins and desserts can tend to taste like diet foods. The lemon poppyseed and banana spice muffins tasted a little like flavored cardboard. Definitely need milk with those! The cereal I've had was typical cereal. But, it is so hard to get over what one serving of cereal looks like! Holding one of their cereal breakfasts is like holding a piece of paper.

The chicken salad was OK, but I am finding their warm lunches and dinners to be much, much better. This is just day # 4 for me though.

I love that none of the meals need to be refrigerated! Bonus!

I lost 60 pounds on NS in 2005. Go to www.nutrisystem.com and click on Community and then NS members and you can see my profile. My screen name is Stacy_C. Other NSers to check out: christinagray, iheartbikes, tiff-in-tx, zachary'smom, losinandcruisin and mrsgeonice.

Definitely visit the support board and recipe board to find out how to "spice up" the NS meals....like making a taco salad w/the Taco entree.

Good luck. It really works!

Thanks for the tip! I'm heading there right now! GREAT IDEA!!!

 

[MickeysMommy]

I just received my package yesterday. It's not too small of portion when you add the fresh veggies to it. You eat your 3 meals, 2 snacks and then dessert. I can see why some of the stuff would taste a little like cardboard. I mean, nothing has to be refrigerated so... Oh, well, I have resigned myself to "It's only 4 weeks, if I don't like it then I won't do it beyond the 4 weeks."

Good Luck girls!

 

[poohbear2]

I am starting on Saturday. I can't wait! I think I got a good variety of foods however, I hope QVC mixes it up a little bit later on. I want to loose about 50 pounds. I have started walking on the treadmill for about 40 minutes a day and I am going to start the rubber band exercises. GOODLUCK EVERYBODY!!

 

[AlexandNessa]

So, has everyone started yet? How is everyone doing?

So far, I have managed to stick to the plan (with one exception. I had 4 lite beers on Friday . Yes, not exactly in the plan, but it was a party and it was planned, and I cut out some food and totally kicked up my exercise that day and the next so I don't feel too, too guilty). Next planned cheat is on Valentines weekend when I will enjoy 2 glorious glasses of wine with dinner. I am doing really well at drinking all the water, but what I am not enjoying is all the time I am spending in the bathroom as a result.

I am now on Day 7, and honestly, have not noticed any change just yet on the scale, but my clothes are fitting slightly better. I don't have quite so many red marks on my belly where my jeans hit it when I am sitting down. They're still there; they just don't hurt quite as much.

Hope everyone is doing well. It's hard in the first few days, so share your joys and miseries!

P.S. It's kind of crummy that DH isn't on the diet with me. Last night, he had about a half dozen snack sized Paydays, and I actually asked him if I could just smell the empty wrappers.

Hi!!

Can I join you NS'ers?? I started on Weds and so far, so good!!

For breakfast today, I mixed in the packet of granola cereal in a thing of light yogurt and it was de-lish! I haven't been hungry either, and the caramel popcorn is, as Rachael Ray would say, YUM-O!!

How is everyone else doing with it so far??

Good luck. It really works!

Stacy

congrats on your weight loss, stacy!!
And the taco salad was what I had planned for dinner tonight!!

 

[poohbear2]

I've lost about 14 pounds since Christmas time. I lost 4 of those with Nutrisystem. I really love this plan( days on weekends off). I really love the Nutrisystem boards( Thanks Stacy C). You get a lot of great ideas and support! Jazzmans board is great too.

 

[MomOf2DisneyKids]

congrats, poohbear! so, did you just decide to do the days/weekend thing on your own? I haven't seen anything about that anywhere. I'd love to have a day off sometime! I'll have to check out the message boards there too!

 

[Felicia]

Can I join you all? I started the "QVC NutriSystem weekends off" last week and am happy to say I have lost 10 pounds!!! Woo Hoo for me! My favorite lunch is the tuna salad on melba toast - yum!


I am going to check out their website right now.

Good luck to you and I will be checking in to see how you all are doing!

 

[AlexandNessa]

Hi everyone! I have been on the program less than 2 weeks, and I'm already down 4.5 pounds. Hoping to reach my goal of another 8 or 9 pounds by March 1.

 

[poohbear2]

QVC offers this program with nutrisystem. In fact they are scheduled to have another nutrisystem program this month. Check their website.

The days off aren't really days off. Just from the nutrisystem food. You still have to watch your intake and follow the guidelines for your meals.

Goodluck and keep it up everyone!!

 

[MomOf2DisneyKids]

Hi!
How's everyone doing??
I'm so excited...I've lost 8 lbs since I started last week!!!
