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.
