On August 11, 2009, I started Nutrisystem. Since then I have had great success with the program. In the first month I lost 25 lbs. As of November 11, 2009, I have dropped 40.1 lbs! I started doing this program when my doctor was going to put me on high cholesterol medication. In August 2009 I had a total cholesterol reading of 212 and in November 2009 I dropped it to 163. That is nearly 50 point drop in 3 months. My doctor was very pleased. I need things to be simple and easy to prepare and Nutrisystem is great for people who like convenience. Everything is prepackaged and properly portioned. It is pretty easy to follow and I don’t feel hungry at all.

I started Nutrisystem with the intention of getting back on track. At 32 I had surpassed 240 lbs. and went on a diet with Slimfast Shakes and low fat dinners that I prepared. I was single at the time and had the time to prepare my own meals and exercise vigorously for about an hour everyday. Needless to say, I did lose about 30 lbs in 3 months, but it was hard work and I was always hungry. I’m now 40 and after several failed starts I decided to try Nutrisystem. Being married with two children, my time is much more limited. Nutrisystem is perfect for this reason. I don’t have to count calories– it’s all done online. The meals are reasonably good and you can choose the meals you want. The first month I went with the default menu and selected the meals I liked best for the second month. I’m following the menu strictly and my caloric intake averages 1300-1400 calories a day. All in all, I have been on the diet for 38 days and I have lost 27 lbs and 4 inches off my waist. Moreover, I’m rarely hungry and I feel much better physically. This program is well worth it!

Name

I was on Nutrisystem 20 years ago when they had storefront operations. I managed to lose 80 lbs. and ended up being quite slim and in shape. Then I got married. I struggled with weight over the years and tried various other programs and diets. A few worked but most did not. The funny thing was that I really did not eat that much, just all the wrong stuff. This year I went for my physical and my doctor told me that my fasting glucose levels were borderline diabetic. I could see myself needing expensive recurring medication, more than I could afford, and having all of the complications that go with Type II diabetes. So, I figured if it worked 20 years ago, let's try it again. I ordered the diabetic plan to lower my sugar intake. I've been on it since the beginning of the month and I am losing weight. I am already down a pants size. I have not had my blood levels checked yet, but my blood pressure is lower. I am not hungry, and most of the food tastes good (a lot better than 20 years ago). This first month is interesting because I get to figure out what foods I like and what I don't like. I also get to supplement it all by rediscovering fruits and veggies, some of the veggies are all I can eat. Sometimes I feel like I'm eating more now than before I began the diet. The overall costs are less than eating out. Yes, I did go through that carb withdrawal thing where I was functional, but it felt like I was light headed and had a headache. I lived through it and now I don't have that anymore. I am following all of the instructions. I do recommend Nutrisystem.
