I did Nutrisystem about 4 years ago and went from a size 24 to a size 2 in 18 months. I kept the 140 pounds off for about 3 years, until medical issues made it impossible for me to exercise, and some medicines I was taking caused weight gain. I have just started the program again and have lost 30 pounds in 10 weeks. The program works if you stick with it 100 percent. I don't cheat at all during the day, and I drink close to 100 ounces of water a day. The motivation has to come from within. Nutrisystem's greatest asset is that it teaches people portion control. The biggest downside is what to do after you've lost the weight. I joined another weight loss program that counts points when it was time to start my maintenance. That way I made new friends and had local support and a weekly weigh in to encourage me. I hear the criticism that the food is too expensive. I dont think that at all, and believe me I am certainly not rich. I make less than 26,000.00 a year, and am totally responsible for all my household bills. There is no second income in my family. 15.00 a day for food and extra groceries is much cheaper than eating out for bkfst and lunch at work, and much healthier.
