I'm getting such great results from Nutrisystem! I've tried what seems like every other diet and program out there, and this is the first one that has impressed me. I could write a book on all the diet plans and diets that I've tried, but I think that just proves how badly I wanted to lost the weight.

One of the main things I tried was Slimfast. This one lasted the longest, but I don't know why I stayed on it because it was only teasing me. I spent over 3 years, and a lot more money than I'd like to admit, on that program. Initially I did well, and I was full of hope. After 6 months or so, I had lost 25 pounds. I was happy with the loss, but I felt like I could do better. I just hoped that it would keep going like that. Unfortunately it didn't. I got really frustrated with the strict meal plan, and had a lot of trouble keeping it because I never felt full. Also I felt like I could get the same kind of food at the grocery store for cheaper. When I started gaining back weight and feeling depressed, I gave up. I just couldn't justify the continued costs and letdowns of this plan.

The other big one I tried was the Xenical diet. It seemed to me like a great idea, that a program could limit the amount of fat that my body would absorb. I had considered getting a stomach-stapling operation, but I felt that it was too drastic an option. I was uncomfortable with the idea of surgery. So I went with the Xenical instead. Well, it started off good as well. I lost 8 pounds in my first week! But I quickly began to plateau, and found it really hard to adjust to my lighter weights, I ate too much.

Eventually I found out about Nutrisystem. I had heard of it a long while ago, but had never looked into it until I had exhausted most other options. Just in my first 2 months on the Nutrisystem program, I lost 22 pounds! I really was pleased, but I'm skeptical and I didn't want to build myself up for a let-down, so I didn't expect to go much further. Boy, how wrong I was! The weight just kept coming off, it was almost like magic. I've been nothing but happy and energetic since beginning the Nutrisystem. I thank my friend Mary so much for telling me about it, I just couldn't have acheived what I've acheived without the program. I've started eating much better lately, and that's helped even more with weight loss. Also, I've started going to the gym. I just find I have so much more energy now, I'm not weighed down with all the junk food anymore! I can't tell you how long I've been waiting and hoping for this.
