Nutrisystem so far

I am two months in on Nutrisystem and thought I would write a little on what I thought of it so far.  From the beginning I said I would try it for at least two months then make a decision if I would continue from there.  Well, I am continuing.  It is working!

First let me explain a little about the program.   You get 4 meals a day from Nutrisystem.  A breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert/snack.  You are required to add certain things each meal.  For breakfast you add a protein/dairy and a fruit.  For lunch you add veggies, protein/dairy.  And for dinner more veggies and a fat serving.  You also add an afternoon snack of protein/dairy and a fruit and then you have one of their dessert/snacks. They send you a recommended grocery list with your food that has how much of each add on you should have. 

It is really simple to follow.  I usually add yogurt to breakfast, a salad for lunch and I cook a whole bunch of veggies for dinner.  I have found these stir fry veggies at Walmart that are just awesome.  I use a little olive oil for my fat serving to cook them in.  So simple and very yummy. 

As far as the Nutrisystem food, I actually really enjoy it.  I am not a picky eater and definitely not a "foodie" so I have no complaints.  The food isn't gourmet by any means but it really isn't that bad.  Especially after the first month when you can narrow it down to the stuff you like.  I love the pizza's, the lunch noodle bowls and the desserts are AWESOME.

The online community at Nutrisystem is awesome.  Lots of Tips and Recipes and all kinds of support from people that have lost TONS of weight.  I love going to the website to get ideas.  When you meet your goal they put you on a maintenance program to teach you how to eat your own food.  Of course you can still get their food if you wish but you don't have too.  But I have a long way to go before I think about that.  :)

Overall I am REALLY happy with the program.  I have lost almost 16 pounds in two months.  IT REALLY WORKS.  And it is teaching me to eat healthy.  I have never eaten so many veggies in a day.  And I actually CRAVE them!

Next week sometime I am going to blog about the bootcamp I go to and how it has CHANGED MY LIFE!  REALLY!   In the meantime watch this video that aired on Fox 6 news Friday night.  This isn't the class I attend but it is the same company and Ashley is one of my instructors.  She and Dawn are awesome and I don't know how I could make it through a class without them.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.  Taylor and I are going shopping for my 15 pound reward.  SHOES!!!

Milestone---180's

Weighed in at 189.8 pounds this morning.   Glad to be out of the 190's.  I know not by much but it felt good not seeing that 9 today.  So many times in the past I quit at 190.  So that is a total of 15.2 pounds since January 1st.   15 pounds in a little less than two months.   I am so happy!   Nutrisystem and boot camp are working!

I am going to try to post more about Nutrisystem this weekend.  I have been so busy I hardly have time to get on the computer.   But I want to share my experience with everyone with the food and the plan.

Happy Wednesday!!!

Weigh In Post

Nothing much to say really.  I weighed in at 192.6 today.  Not much of a loss, but I figured it wouldn't be.  Been a stressful week and I have not been feeling well.  I promise to start posting more on here besides weight stuff.  When things slow down a little. 

Have a great Wednesday!

12 pounds GONE forever

I am at 193.0 this morning. That is 11 pounds down since the begining of this year.   I am pretty pleased with that although it probably would have been more if I hadn't fallen off the plan this past weekend and missed Zumba and one boot camp class last week (because of weather).  My goal for this week is stay on the Nutrisystem plan 100%. 

Taylor has a beauty pageant this weekend at Odenville Middle School.   Here is the picture I entered for the photogenic contest.   When I look at this picture I want to cry.  She is growing up way too fast.

Weigh in Day

I was not looking forward to weighing this morning.  I didn't do so well on my program this weekend.  I don't think pizza and wings are on the plan.  :)

But I weighed and I am at 196.4  that is almost a whole pound down from last week.  I will take it, but I know it could have been better if I wouldn't have messed up. 

But it is ok.  We all have our slip ups and I jumped right back on the plan Sunday and  don't plan on slipping up this week.  I want to get to that 10 pound mark this week!

Scott's first tournament (on the FLW tour) starts tomorrow.   He had a pretty good practice but the Big "O" is so unpredictable that he isn't getting too confident yet.  He is off today (from fishing) but has a full day of photo shoots and meetings.  Keep him in your prayers.

Happy Groundhog Day!!!

Thanks for the continued words of encouragement!
