Disclosure: I received this program and meals in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.
This week starts my 3rd week of Nutrisystem. How am I doing? I feel pretty good about it so far! After the first 2 weeks I had lost a total of 8 lbs., which I was absolutely thrilled about! Then we went on a 7-day cruise and while I thought I was being good about what I was eating and taking the stairs most of the time, I gained back four of those pounds. So I am back to loosing only 4 pounds but honestly I am okay with that. Nutrisystem is the first “diet” I have ever done and I have never really watched what I ate. Having the pre-packaged meals and the smartphone app has been a huge help for me. I love that I can see how big portions should be and with the app it gives me ideas on snacks and add-ons to my meals. For example it will say “Cheese, low fat 1 slice” or “Peanuts 2 tbsp.” or “Yogurt, nonfat 1 cup.” So yes you do need some add-ons for Nutrisystem but they are suggestions and make it so much easier to stay on track. Then with the app you check off everything you eat and it tells you your calories.
So like I said this week starts my 3rd week (since last week I obviously didn’t do it on the cruise.) I hope to get back on track and loose those pounds I re-gained and then some. It has been a few couple days re-adjusting to not eating all day basically and eating healthier foods. Not that I ate unhealthy all the time on the cruise but I am sure the foods were a lot more calories and sodium than my Nutrisystem meals. The cruise makes it so easy to eat all day long and there was seriously ice cream or desserts every where we went. Oh and I drank a lot of fruity drinks as well (hey I was in the Caribbean) which I am sure racked up the calories.

Debbie L. says
To only gain 4 pounds on a 7 day cruise is a miracle! To lose 8 in two weeks is also great! Good luck on your life changing journey. Eating healthy can be hard at 1st but easy when you get used to it. I have read very positive results from using Nutrisystems. GOOD LUCK!
Cher says
Thanks so much! It is the first “diet” I have ever tried and it is tough but seeing results definitely helps!
