Holy cow, I’m approaching 40 pounds lost FAST. Looking back I cannot believe I’ve been on Nutrisystem for 31 weeks, that is the longest amount of time I’ve committed to any diet. It feels like I’m hitting small goals all the time, even though I didn’t realize I had them. The past few weeks the weather has been warming up here, and I hate the heat…I have noticed one small detail about it though: it makes me not hungry for bad foods. The head makes anything that is heavy or greasy sound horrific, and I couldn’t imagine eating it. The bloat, the feeling nauseated as soon as I eat my meal is not appealing. For the first time in my life I have a reason to … [Read more...]

I finally made it into the 150’s!!! I am so excited, I’m so sad that my journey on Nutrisystem is almost to an end. It is started to happen slower and slower, though, so I have to start working harder. The closer I get to my goal weight the happier I get, so I cannot complain even though I only lost 0.1 of a pound this week. Progress is progress! I have been thinking a lot about the future, and one thing I want to do is start a veggie garden. I know that there are a lot of things I need to research and learn before this can happen, like seasons and whatnot…but it will help me continue on this journey of becoming and staying healthy. Do you have a veggie … [Read more...]

Nutrisystem is keeping me on track, even though it is slow going right now. I only have 15 pounds to go until I reach my goal weight of 145. When I sit and really think about it, that is not a lot. If I work out and lose 3 pounds per week I’ll be at my goal weight in 5 weeks. I know that it might not happen that way, look at this last week: I only lost 0.6 of a pound. I’m not going to give up though! I need to look ahead and make sure I stay strong so I hit my goal sooner rather than later. 7 weeks may not be “in a perfect world” but it is better that 12 or 15.I have so many plans once I am successfully maintaining my weight. But I also have quite a few … [Read more...]

Happy Dance! Man, I am so happy to be making some great progress again! I’ve hit 160 pounds! Can you believe it? That means another progress picture! I’m loving the consistency the Nutrisystem program provides for me.There is something I have learned: to successfully lose weight you have to have fun with it. I know weight loss has this negative stigma attached to it but if you look at the ways your body is changing and the way you start to feel better it truly becomes something fun. We all want to look and feel great, so lets get up and do something about it instead of just dreaming about being healthy one day. I’m so excited to show you my progress pictures, … [Read more...]

I’M FINALLY BACK, BABY! It feels so good! I’ve been 100% faithful to my good ‘ol buddy Nutrisystem and in return, it has given me a great weigh in this week. I am so proud of myself for sticking with it and the will power I had this week. It was the first week in a long time when I was not tempted by anything. I knew I was watching what I ate and that there was nothing that could tempt me to eat the wrong thing. I even forgot a dinner one night when I was out of town, and what did I do? I ate 4 ounces of chicken breast and carrot sticks to hold be over until I got home. Having the strength to say no to pizza and other fast food non-delicacies has got me feeling … [Read more...]
