@Naturesbeauty How are you progressing with this? Hope it is working for you.

@World Traveler.......first I want to say Thank You for asking. 🥰 so far so good. As of this mornings weighing I have lost 10 pounds. I started on Jan 28. I am really happy. Nutrisystem has really worked for me. But as everyone knows it’s the portion control that works. A little of everything in moderation. I am glad I ordered the Nutrisystem thru QVC. I will order it again. The food is not bad. There are several choices that I really like, others just okay. But it’s helping me get back in control. I am soon to be 70, so losing weight is really hard. But I made up my mind that for my health I needed to loose some weight. This is the Order #A353635 Fast Five Marie’s Fresh Start 4 Week Plan. Non-Vegetarian ($219.98) Before getting this one, I was buying the 1 Week Box at Walmart ($39.95). If anyone has any questions just post and I will check back. Have a good day. 🙋🏻❤️💐

@Naturesbeauty  That's awesome!  Good for you. 

Years and years ago I used it and lost 25 pounds. There was a local meeting place and that is how I got involved with it. Didn't care to go to the meetings/group sessions, but did so for a while.

You are correct, it is about portion control. Hard for me when I have a dish of chocolate ice cream facing me, but otherwise, I have finally (I hope!) overcome the problem with eating more than I need to. You can have your cake and eat it too! ha! Just watch the portion. 

I hope you will check back periodically and update us with your success. Love success stories.

Just wanted to encourage your weight loss, to a fellow Spoonie.  I also use a cane and move slowly, but weight loss is possible through just food. Small portions and stop eating at 7 pm if you sleep at 10.  You'll be a little hungry but that's ok.  The Fast Five reallly works too.

@Helen Bach I've heard that many times. In fact, I know some people who do NO exercise at all and have had no problem losing weight by watching their intake. Personally, I prefer to exercise and watch what I eat. Think it is probably healthier (for me) that way.

I am glad that you lost 10 pounds. I had tried NutriSystem a few years ago. I liked it. The problem I had, was that my husband got home from work before I did. So he would make dinner. So I would end up eating the dinner he made.

I liked the fact that everything was the correct portion. And I never seemed to be hungry after I ate.

Keep up the good work.

Just want to say thank you to those of you that have given me encouragement. It helps so much......🙋🏻❤️🥰

@Naturesbeauty  What a nice post.

Years ago I ordered NutriSystem and after one month I decided I could do just as well purchasing my own meals and snacks.  What you order from them is only part of the food you need.  Frozen meals in the grocery store are perfect portions and taste better than NutriSystem's.  Add fresh vegetables, fruits and protein snacks and you are set.  I lost 50 pounds just by reducing calories.  No rocket science here, but important each person does what works for them.  I was determined so I didn't need a support group.
