Nutrisystems?
 

anyone on the Nutrisystems diet?? how does the food taste? is it worth all that money? i need to loss alot of weight i may give this as try.

Sorry, I've never tried Nutrisystem. I did WeightWatches and lost weight and kept it off. You can eat whatever you want to on the WeightWatchers diet. and I was never hungry. I highly recommend it! :thumbup: If you want to know more about it, let me know!

i did weight watchers too. i highly recommend it cause if you stick with it you will definately lose weight and get to eat whatever you want while your doing it

I'm on it right now - Day 11 and doing GREAT. I signed up herebefore I decided to do this....http://s2.forumforfree.com/index.php...azzman&act=idx
....since I don't have to lose that much - (20-25 lbs) ....I thought really hard about it - I had thought it was expensive - but with the free week - it came to $7.22 per day

The Food is GOOD. The meals fill you up & are really tasty - I was surprised at how good they taste....I've gone from lots of Diet Soda during the day to 1 can at night - I don't even miss it.

PM me if you decide to do this - I can get you some money off your 1st order - AND they're running a July Special for $50 off.....or 2 weeks free food - I'm not sure which. Course I found out all this AFTER I ordered LOL

but I like it and have lost 5 lbs in 11 days.....That's a miracle for me - I dieted at New Years for 3 months and only lost 6 lbs.

ps...I bought my husband a Chocolate Milkshake today and wasn't even tempted to sneak a sip. :D :D :D

That's easy - if you think you can do it thru a trainer and still eat on your own - go for it.

If anyone has questions about NS - I'll try to answer or find out what I can for you - I started less than 2 weeks ago - but so far...it does work.:thumbup:

wow Villette that's awesome! since I just had my baby, i was hoping maybe later if i decide to breastfeed, if i should either do the NS or take diet pills (which i know is the way to easy way out lol)..

but now that i know NS has actually worked for someone imight give it a try!

I thought about trying all...Nutri System, Jenny Craig, etc., but cooking is not my favorite thing to do and if I was on one of those plans with prepackaged meals, I'm afraid my hubby and son would starve to death...LOL

I really think I would like to try Weight Watchers and see how that would work. Not sure I would like to go to meetings, but it might be interesting. I have alot to lose. Everyone thinks I weigh less than what I actually weigh no matter what my weight (I guess I carry it well), but I'm over 200 lbs and want to take it off so bad. I did try the South Beach diet 2 years ago and lost 50 lbs really fast, but I gained it all back except for 10 lbs. I hate being fat!!!

When I did WeightWatchers, I only went to 3 or 4 meetings, bought the books, and learned how to do it. Then I just did it on my own. It works REALLY well! You can eat whatever you want to and how ever much you want to. The way it works is that every food has a certain number of points and you can only eat a certain number of points per day. Some foods have zero points. So, if you get hungry, you just eat something with zero points! So, you're never hungry! A lot of condiments have zero points, too.

It is very expensive to join? And then you have to buy books too? I know I sound like a cheapy, but I like to know ahead of time how much it will cost. I know I deserve to spend money on me especially for my weight and health, but I love spending it on the dogs too. LOL Do you have to measure out food or weigh it?

For me, it was $10 per meeting and I just went to the meetings until I learned how to do it, which was about 4 or 5 times I guess. Then you buy 2 books that have all the points and stuff in them. I think together they are like $30. It's been awhile, but I know it cannot be much more than that. Once you learn how to do it and buy the books, you won't have to spend anymore money.

I never had to weigh any food. I just kind of guesstimate the serving size. It wasn't hard. The books are SO helpful...one of the books has points for every single kind of food imaginable...the other book is called the "Dining Out Companion," and it gives you the point amounts for every kind of food at every fast food restuarant and most popular chain restaurants. So, you don't feel like you are restricting yourself. I even ate Wendy's hamburgers when I was on the diet! Then if you run out of points for that day and you're still hungry, you just eat things that are zero points. For example, broccoli is zero points and fat free italian dressing is zero points, so if I got hungry I would zip broccoli in the dressing and pig out! Green beans are zero and so is Dale's marinade, so I would eat green beans cooked in Dale's....YUMMY! Even though I'm not on the diet now, I am keeping the weight off because WeightWatchers is really a lifestyle chage. I love it! :p

I want to do it but all my parents say is that the food is nasty and it is really expensive so i can't do it.

thanks everyone for the replies! i need to loss alot of weight about a 100 pounds. i think i may give nutrisystem a try. my husband and i are going on a 7 day criuse next summer.i dont want to be a fat cow on the cruise:(.

How wonderful you get to go on a cruise!! That would sure make me want to lose weight. I need to lose about 100 lbs also. SUCKS!! I don't mind telling you I'm at 231 lbs. I just don't remember changing sizes, is that dumb or what. I think if I had actually stopped and thought, hey I can't wear size "whatever" now I'd better drop a few pounds first, but I don't remember it happening. If I could just get down to 145 or 150 I'd be happy. I'm wishing you all the best on your weight loss journey. :)

If your the worst cook on earth nutrasystem is good if not its gross and small portions.

I've used weight watchers for several years. About 4 years ago, you could join "weight watchers at home". I found it on the internet. I think it cost about $70.00 for all the books and information. You didn't have to go to any meetings at all. There was also "weight watchers online" but I didn't want to do that, because you had to go online at times to get some of the information - I wanted it all upfront. I did buy a cheap set of postal scales (at Office Depot - about $15.00) to weigh food when I first started. But very soon, you learn the correct portions and don't have to weigh things. I do think it helped at first to weigh portions (not everything of course) because it helped me to see that I was eating waaaaay too much food!

Anyway, it really works. I lost 35 lbs - I've gradually gained back 10 lbs over the past year - but I'm back on WW right now and I've lost 4 lbs in a week and a half. I highly recommend it!

My daughter has done Jenny Craig, which is, I think, much like nutrisystems and it really worked too!

I think you just have to find what works best for you and then "go for it!"

Good luck!!!

HI ...now THAT'S incentive. Can I come ? I'm going to lose all I need in about 2 months

I really like the NS food - IF you decide to do it - pm me - I can give you some codes to knock off some $$ of your order. They're running a July Special - $50.00 OFF your first order I think -

They also have a referral if I email your name to them - you get $15.00 and I would get $15.00 (or if you know someone on it - have them do this for you....so that's another 15.00

AND...I have a coupon sitting here for a friend - which offers 2 weeks free food instead of the one week they advertise.

I've never had Jenny Craig food - but my boss did that diet and that food smelled AWFUL...The NS food is pretty good.

Just wondering how everyone did on Nutri System?????
