Losing weight for Disney....anyone use NutriSystem?

[rcpae]

Just curious....has anyone used this or know someone that has. I would like to hear about it before I spend any money on this.

I would love to lose about 30 pounds.

I haven't used it but wanted to tell you there is a whole board here for weight loss:

I did use weight watchers and it seems to work pretty well. Good Luck to you!!

I've used weight watchers in the past and had much success. My ds used nutra system also with much success, but then later developed health problems which may or may not be related to that diet. Do some research! Weight Watchers was easy and could be done on my terms.

If you don't mind eating package foods while everyone else in your household is eating "regular" food, then Nutri System will get the pounds off. You can have the option to eat "regular" food with vitamins with Nutri System but for the cost you are much better with WW. With WW you eat your own food.

Nutri System is one on one with a counselor that weighs you in and asks how your week went- about a 5-10 min conversation. WW has group meetings with a leader who has lost weight with WW. The meetings are 30 min long.
I would go for WW instead because they focus alot more on eating healthy and I like the support that a group meeting provides.

You can also check out each website and choose the program that works best for you.

Best of luck! And let us know what you decide.

DBF and his family have done nutri system and they still have almost an entire cupboard full of it. I've looked at the specs on the packages and I think just eating right and exercising would be much better for you. It's all basically dried packaged food and I know it's not cheap. DBF's mom had better success with LA weight loss (kind of like weight watchers).

I have been dieting since June 14th and have lost 21 pounds. DH is also dieting and has lost 30 pounds! (MEN! ARGH!) We have been doing it by just avoiding carbs and exercising. I eat about 20-30 carbs a day. It can be a pain because you are constantly label watching, but we have yielded great results. I am alreadt down a full size in my jeans and 2 skirt sizes!!

Good luck! The key is to just stick to it, even if you have a bad day one day, just get right back on the horse the next day.

The W.I.S.H board here is great - you should definitely check it out!
