Re: Anyone try Nutrisystem and does it work for long?

Over the years several of my co-workers tried this plan. All of them lost weight initially, because the portions are small, but all of them gained it back. I don't t think there is a magic bullet for weight loss, and as some of the posters pointed out  keeping it off  is usually the challenge.

I have a friend that tried it.  He said it wasn't bad except for the fact that there were too many ingredients he couldn't pronounce. He did lose weight but I don't think he continued with it after the initial purchase because he's never mentioned it again.

Did this many years ago - lost a lot of weight.  Losing the weight is easy - but it's no different than any other plan.  Once you lose the weight, maintaining it is where the majority of us fail.  

 

This was many many years ago but as someone else stated  - the food was way too salty for me.

Re: Anyone try Nutrisystem and does it work for long?

I have been using the Nutrisystem Plan since February and as of today I have lost 32 lbs. I have it on Auto Delivery from HSN $199 with free S/H. It has worked for me. It’s so easy, no thinking. I add things to the meals, I use spices and other things to make the meals tasty. I like the bars that come with selections of breakfast and lunch choices. Makes it easy if your on the go. I add salads and fruits with my meals. Of course the meals aren’t gourmet but I never expected that. It has put me back on track and has helped me get back to portion control. I give myself a reward food everyday. (Little Hershey Candy Bars for example.....I count out my rewards and look at the portion size and calorie count with what I choose each time.) I know that there are people who didn’t like the food. If you want more of a variety and more choices you can go directly to Nutrisystem they offer frozen meals and other choices not available at HSN or QVC. I haven’t try it that way. I am so glad I tried it and didn’t listen to the negative reviews. I hope this helps....🙋🏻❤️ If you have questions please post and I will try and answer them. Have a great day.....Be sure to give your SMILE to someone 🥰

I tried NutriSystem and thought the food was so awful that after 3 days I threw it all out.  So, no it didn't work for me.  I much prefer Jenny Craig.

Re: Anyone try Nutrisystem and does it work for long?

One thing I have learned is: not to put such an emphasis on FOOD and eating. I am trying to put the emphasis that I put with eating into reading, crocheting and other things. It’s working too. I never realized how much time I spent eating! Also......I know not all eating plans work for everyone. Everyone’s tastebuds are different. 🙋🏻❤️
