Disclosure: I received this program and meals in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.
So honestly when I first signed up for Nutrisystem I was worried about the food. Would I like it? Would it fill me up? Could I survive three months on it? The way Nutrisystem works is you get pre-packaged foods for breakfest, lunch and dinner, then you add in your own snacks and vegetables. They do have snacks/desserts as well. I found that yes the portions could be small but once I added in vegetables or small sides of something like cheese or nuts, I was fine.
So how did I do?
Yes I only lost 11 pounds but honestly I am okay with that. I probably would have lost more if I hadn’t cheated or went out of town so much, but I am thrilled that I not only lost those 11 pounds but that I have stuck to my routine. I eat better, I exercise more regularly and I snack on bad snacks a lot less. I finally realized that I need to stop buying all the junk and then the temptation won’t be there! When we go out to eat, I take at least half my meal home and I even substituted broccoli for french fries! I also learned portion control in general and realize that I only need one chicken breast or just a spoonful of ravioli, rather than a whole bunch.
How is the food really? Honestly, I liked pretty much all of it. There were two entrees I was not a big fan of but everything else was good. I also think the price is pretty reasonable considering you get the convenience of having three prepared meals for you and you just have to add in a full extras. I have been grocery shopping a lot less, which also means a lot less impulse buys and junk!
So here is my Before picture:
And here is my After:
While I know others who are loosing a ton more, this is huge for me because I haven’t been able to loose weight before. I would stay at the same weight or go up a pound or two. I have also been stuck at around 175 lbs. forever and I was thrilled to see me in the 160’s! I have more weight to go but I feel finally like there is hope!

Great job! I need to lose weight but I dont have the income to try anyhting that cost me money. So I am walking.
Regardless whether it was 1, 11, or 111 pounds, every little bit is a success in my opinion, especially now that this has helped kick start a healthier, happier daily habit of eating (mostly) healthy and trying to get in exercise!
Plus we all do need our cheat days every now and again ;)
Congrats on your weight loss!
Wow! You had amazing results from NutriSystem! I tried doing it a few years ago and found that I was just too hungry all of the time. I wish I had had your results!
Thanks! I have heard from people that are doing it now that it is better than when they tried it years ago, so it might be better for you this time? Veggies and snacking regularly definitely helps!
I often think about doing a prepared diet, but I end up deciding to be cheap instead. Being broke doesn't help! Haha Still, I'm happy for you! Eleven pounds is a noticeable difference. That's gotta' feel great!
Definitely nice to break the 10 pound mark! Thanks!
