Watching Marie..never have tried.  Love to cook and love GOOD food.  Is this stuff any good?  I did Jenny Craig and HATED the stuff in boxes that were pantry type food.  Frozen stuff better but the MRE type stuff...yuck.  Just curious.

If you hated Jenny Craig, you probably won't like Nutirsystem.  I've done both. I lost a TON of weight with Nutrisystem and was down to my smallest size ever.  But....I got so sick of the same food after a few months that it literally made me sick to even think about it.   I gained back a good amount of weight after I stopped.  I know there are a lot of people who have been very successful at keeping their weight off but I just was not one of them. 

 

I no longer eat processed foods and try to stick with vegetables, fruits and whole grains.  I'm not as thin, but I do feel better and I enjoy what I eat now.  But....I do weigh more than I would like.

 

I'm all for whatever works for a person.  It worked for me - for awhile.  I wish I had been able to keep the weight off or stay on the program.  To this day, I can't even stand the smell of the food.  (A co-worker heated up a dinner and I had to leave the room.)

 

This is just my experience.  Maybe those who have had long term success with the program can give you some better advice!

hanks for your reply.  What got my interest is Marie saying she wasn't eating enough...which is my MAIN problem.  I eat very little during the day.  Just don't think about it.  Thought it might help me eat on a schedule.

I did Nutrisysterm several years ago.  The food was awful, IMO.  Maybe it's better now.

I did Nutrisystem three years ago. The breakfasts and lunch were mostly small bars or reconstituted "food" you add water to. It was awful...I sent the food back even though it's not required. Don't know how Marie stood it long enough to lose 50, I couldn't even stay with it to lose 20. Channel surfing and stopped to watch to see if program has gotten better but am totally distracted by the 5 pounds of makeup Marie has on and definitely had work done on lips.

I did Nutri System and lost 60 pounds. The food is okay, some of it good. The pizza is a joke, the hot dogs are small and the hamburgers have to be reconstituted with hot water and they too are small. I would have a large salad to eat with the food because the portions are quiet small. But you will definitely lose weight on it, if you stick with it and seriously want to lose weight and of course exercise. The snacks are good but leave you wanting more. When they show the food on air I'm always wondering how many packages did they have to open to get a bowl of whatever they are advertising.
