Nutrisystem?

[Missy Mouse]

Just wondering if anyone has ever tried the Nutrisystem diet, and if you had any results with it. I'm looking for a smart way to lose weight besides the obvious exercise and portion control.

Hi
My brother lost 85 lbs on Nutrisystem. That was a few years ago, and since then he has gained some back. I've done LA weightloss and lost 38 lbs and have put 10 back on. I joined a gym and will start following the diet this week to get off the weight I gained. Its not that hard to lose. I lost 6 lbs in one week before my Disney trip in December. It's keeping it off that I find really hard. I really don't eat much food, it's the junk I love. I just won't buy it anymore since the holidays are over. Good luck!!!

Thanks for replying. I have a gym in my apartment complex and just can't get motivated to go. I'm contemplating joining a gym where I have to pay just to get myself to exercise, which is ridiculous. I honestly think I'm addicted to junk food. I just can't stop eating it, even when I'm stuffed. I can smell chocolate from a mile away.

Yes, I'm in the midst of trying to drop 10 lbs with Nutrisystem. I used them a few years ago for the same 10 lbs, but they've crept back on. I find their diet reminds me about portion control, which I need help with.

I have a friend that ordered it last year and returned it after the first day. I tasted the muffin from her order, which should be more of a treat, but one bite sucked every ounce of moisture from my mouth and I have no idea what flavor it was trying to be. I truly would rather fast.

At least most of Jenny Craig's foods are frozen. Nutrisystem is room temp, vacuumed packed food, like the military MREs. What the heck do you have to add to a hamburger and bun to store it in a bag at room temperature anyway?

I did Nutrisystem once and did lose some weight.. some of the food is nasty unfortunately.. at least I thought so.. especially the muffins.. The cost ended up turning me away from it because it got quite expensive..

The food is horrible. It costs a pretty penny and you still have to add your own fruits, veggies etc. I lost 12 lbs in a month, but I think that was due to the fact that I couldn't face their food anymore and ended up just eating the fruit and veggies.

I gag just thinking about the nasty stuff they sent me. I ended up donating a large, large portion of the food to Good Will. I didn't think they'd take it but they did. <shudder>

Nutrisystem is out then. I'm not paying $300 to starve myself for a month. Glad I asked. It's amazing, you can find any obscure piece of info on the Disboard!

Just wanted to mention that you might think about weight watchers.. I have done ww and been pretty successful.. My employer actually has the weight watchers at work and they come to our work every week for the meetings, so we can go at lunchtime.. we just bring our lunch there and do the meetings.. its very nice.. and my employer pays half the fees so it only costs me $6 a week.. cant beat that.. I have done WW thru regular meetings and $12 a week still isnt bad..

My first meeting is Thursday.. cant wait..

I lost about 40 lbs. on NutriSystem last year. I think about 10 has crept back on over the past several months when I've been totally lazy about portion control. Dh has also lost about 40. We each have some more to lose, so we are back on as of tomorrow. We actually like much of the food. The things we don't like we just don't order again. It works for me because it keeps me focused on portions and I can't be trusted to do it myself when I'm out of control eating (like now).

I did Nutrisystem last year. I lost around 20 pound in 3 months. I didn't mind the food. Yes, some was nasty, but I just picked stuff that I liked for the next month. I used to really like the pizza and I would make taco salads out of the "tacos". I may go on it again someday.
