My weight has been stable for about 3 years. I want to achieve my desired goal of weighing 100lbs but it seems so hard. The reason why I want to loose 15 pounds is because I’m not that tall. I’m only 4″11 and I think 100lbs is the best weight for my small frame. What do ya’ll think?

I need to stay motivated and get back on track.  2 months ago I joined the Nutrisystem diet plan and I quit because I was too stingy.  But now I have joined Nutrisystem again. This time I ordered the dinner meal only.

Dinner is the most difficult and weakest part. Since my husband and I work full time, I don’t have time to cook (lazy is the right word) for our dinner so we always dine out.  Or buy dinner and eat it home.  Most of the time the food that we eat is not healthy food.

That’s the main reason why I decided to join the Nutrisystem diet plan again and order just the dinner meal only. Most of their dinners have calorie counts between 220-360. I hope that’ll help me.

Anybody have experience struggling to lose the last few pounds?

Its a lot cheaper and you can be more fun because you won’t get bored to eat the same food over and over for a year. If you eat the same food all the time, like vaccines, your body will be immune. In that case, YES! you will loose weight, not because of the program, but because you are tired of the food and you don’t want to eat it anymore. Just to see the food makes you lose your appetite (heheeh…… that’s my theory ).

The key to managing your own diet plan is the portion and balance of the diet. I mean, you can not just eat carbohydrates all the time and skip the protein. All the nutritions in your daily food intake have to be balanced. Try to eat 5 meals a day and watch out the portion and what you eat. Since I have the whole meal planner and serving guide from my previous diet program, so I can use that for an idea on what to eat and what groceries to buy. Also don’t forget to eat 100% whole wheat bread instead of white, brown rice instead of white, 1% milk instead of whole milk, etc..etc… You know what I mean.

I try to do my exercise regularly 6 days a week and eat right with the right proportion (cheat a little bit here and there, heheh). I want to see if I can loose weight that way. That will be my challenge. And I’m confident I can do it. I see result since I increase my exercise routine.

Compared to other diet programs out there, the price of Nutrisystem is the cheapest. For only a little bit over $10/ day you will get 4 meals/day. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and desert. If you choose Auto Delivery Savings, you will get 10% discount and FREE shipping. It will increase to 15% after you receive 3 more orders. The delivery is SUPER fast. I got Nutrisystem meals within 2 days after I place my order.

With your order one of the 7 Nutrisystem weight loss programs you will get 28 breakfasts, 28 lunches, 28 dinners and 28 deserts. You may have also received 7 extra ( a week’s worth) of each category. You will also get a booklet as your quick start guide on how to use and start your program step by step, a Meal Planner to know when to add-in fruit, dairy, other fresh food additions to your days and exercise routine. Each Nutrisystem food item is marked “Breakfast Time, Lunch Time, Dinner Time, Desert time to help you inventory the foods easier.

The cool thing about Nutrisystem foods is you don’t need to refrigerate them. They are actually sealed through a “soft canning” process which locks in the nutrition and great taste, and keeps out the elements. They are ready to go whenever and wherever you are.

The foods are full of protein and good carbs. Each of Nutrisystem foods fits into a balanced meal plan that’s very easy to follow. Simply grab an entree, add-inn a few grocery items like fresh fruit, vegetables, salads and dairy items and you ready to go. The meals are perfectly portioned, so there’s no weighing, measuring or counting calories and points.

About the food, honestly the foods are not as large in size as depicted in the advertisement. So don’t get shocked the first time you see your order. If you order a pizza, don’t expect you will get a big one like the ordinary pizza. You’ll get an itty bitty one but don’t get discouraged, remember all the food is perfectly portioned for weight loss. The taste of the food is GREAT!

REMEMBER!, the first time you place an order for a Nutrisystem program, don’t forget to select the food you like. Because if you don’t you will end up being forced to eat the food that you don’t like. For me, not all Nutrisystem foods are ones I like. I’ve made a mistake to not select my food at my first order but I learned my lesson on my second order.

Here’re my tips, since the food proportion is a little bit small, select the food that has carbohydrates in it. For example, I choose dinner that has content rice in it. In that way I won’t feel a craving. At first, it may seem that the food portions are small, but after a few weeks you will get used to the portions and your body will adjust.

Another cool thing is, if you join the Nutrisystem online community (it’s free), you will get tons of benefits. The community was so helpful. Here are some of the great tools you can find in their community:

My conclusion about the Nutrisystem weight loss program… ” Worth every penny”

Since I started my Nutrisystem weight loss program 3 weeks ago, I try to totally focus my mind on the program. I want to be successful in shedding pounds from my body. If other people can do that, I can do that as well. I try to be really disciplined in following the Nutrisystem weight loss program guide and rules.

I try to exercise 5 days a week. It’s really tough sometimes. There are times I don’t want to work out because of laziness or fatigue. BUT all the time I’m feeling guilty if I skip my exercise or eat junk food. I am afraid I will gain back all the weight that I’ve tried so hard to loose. I have already spent money, time, entergy, etc… and I don’t want to ruin all the hard work and all the resources just because of laziness? Nay! nay! nay! Beside that, I’ve seen RESULTS and that motivates me to keep going!

At the end of this month I will celebrate my one month anniversary of my Nutrisystem weight loss program. WooooHuuuuuuuu….. I will continue the program the next month. This will be my second Nutrisystem order. I edited my food choices this time and I picked foods that I really like. That will help me enjoy my weight loss program more without feeling hungry or suffering. I am so happy and excited to see how many pounds I can shed next month )

Especially, I want to thank myself and my husband who is really supportive of my effort since the beginning.

But please don’t misunderstand me okay, this success wouldn’t have happened as quickly as it has now if it comes from the diet alone. I myself make a big contribution. How?? by doing exercise +/- 1 hour a day for 5 days a week. As long as you follow the dieting guideline you will be on the right track.

I know I sound like I’m exaggerating but you need to reward yourself for any successful thing you’ve done in life, even for the smallest successes you’ve made, don’t you think? That makes life so wonderful and interesting.

Last night my husband and I went to Texas Road House restaurant to celebrate this achievement. We wanted to spoil ourselves a little bit. I’m thinking ” hmmmm…. it would be fine to break my diet for one day”. I ate a junior Chicken Critters (3 fried crispy white chicken tenders), a bowl of steamed broccoli, 2 handfuls of roasted peanuts and 2 sweet bread rolls. That’s not too bad. I think my tummy shrunk. I can’t eat a lot of food now. I promised to do exercise last night but I was so sleepy. I fell asleep on the couch and exercise became just a thought instead of a reality. Today I have to do my exercise. I need to get back on track again. It’s 15 pounds more to go.

At the end of May we are going to the beach; let’s see if I can loose another 10 pounds within 1 month. That’ll be GREAT!!!…..The crabs won’t laugh at me when I wear my bikini on the beach.

This morning I had cranberry orange pastry and banana for my breakfast. I had salad, fat free Italian dressing and a boiled egg. For my afternoon snack I had fat free blueberry yogurt. And I had another yummy mashed potato & meatloaf with tomato sauce, steam broccoli and carrot. Plus peanut butter bar for my desert.

I didn’t have time to do my exercise today or maybe I’m too lazy to do that

I was too stingy to pass a free lunch. I went ahead and ordered steak panini for me. I was feeling guilty but kept eating them. That afternoon I ate the steak not the bread from the panini, my hams and bean soup. For my afternoon snacks I ate my pear.

For my dinner I ate grilled chicken salad with blue cheese dressing, rotini with meatballs tomato sauce, 4 halves pecan. For my desert I ate microwave chocolate cake. Yummy!… that’s plenty of food.

I didn’t do my exercise tonight. I was to lazy to do that.

On the box there’s a message that said “Please call this **** number before you open your box!” Basically that’s a machine introduction and explanation about Nutrisystem on how to use everything in the box. Okay. I graduated from that part.

Everything is super easy to follow. Simply grab an entree, add-in a few grocery items (like fresh fruit, vegetables, salads and dairy items and you are ready to go. Since all meals are perfectly portioned, there is no weighing, measuring or counting calories and points.

In the box I got :
1.Materials Kit
2.Inventory of Nutrisystem food–each item is marked “Breakfast Time”, “Lunch Time”, Dinner Time”, “Desert”. There are 28 breakfasts, 28 lunches, 28 dinners and 28 desserts. Plus 7 extra of each for my FREE WEEK items.
3. Mind and Body Guides – Including in this package is the Mindset makeover book and exercise DVD .

And at the bottom of the kit was written ” That’s It! Simply follow your meal plan, eat delicious food and enjoy losing weight, That’s the Nutrisystem Way”.
