Wedding NutriSystem

[blissfulbride]

Has anyone tried it ? I heard tori spelling lost all her baby weight on it ? I was thinking of going on it 6 months before my wedding so that I can be my goal weight ahead of time.

I thought I remembered an old thread where it was discussed, and I managed to find it for you, until you get some more input.

Blissful ~ my co-worker has been on it for about 3 months and i think she has lost abour 40 lbs (looking really good). I personally did not like the food as i tried a sample pack for one week. i ate the cereal and the protein type bars but the other food is still just sitting here. I kept on running into crunchy things in the food that i could not identify. that freaked me out a bit.

however i do know that it works because she is loosing weight, but again the more you need to loose the quicker it will come off.

I''ve lost weight on both NutriSystem and Jenny Craig but preferred Jenny''s Craig''s food so I stayed on it longer.

I''m just wrapping up my 3rd month on it, and am stopping the food deliveries. I did lose weight, but at the same time I started with the food, I also started walking more and doing yoga twice a week. I think the 10 pounds I''ve lost so far is a result of all three, because I NEVER lose weight just dieting alone. Do you also have an exercise plan? I wouldn''t expect to lose more than 4-5 pounds a month without combining exercising and healthy eating.

*Pros*:
It did get me thinking about and watching portion sizes, and I definitely do feel fuller now with less food.

I also started tracking food daily on www.sparkpeople.com, so I have a pretty good idea of calorie contents now.

The lunches are really handy for tossing in my bag and bringing to work. I have a box of food under my desk, and am less tempted to go out for lunch now.

*Cons*:
Food is very MEH. Often bland or too salty, and like beanie said some dishes have a weird texture. I found some of the desserts to be waaaaay too sweet, even when I was craving sweets. However, you can customize the foods you have delivered, to some extent. So I did start ordering the dishes I like better.

I stopped eating dinner at the same time as DH because he''s not doing the program.

$$$. I thought it would equal out against our reduced grocery bill, but not so much.

I cancelled the deliveries, and am now focusing on eating healthy without the meal plan, and also continuing the exercise. I still have a giant box of food to get through though!

Hope this helps.

I''m on the jenny craig website but I hate that it doesnt have any prices and you have to call to get information. Is it about the same prices as nutrisystem and do i have to go to some kind of meeting because I really dont want to.

bliss, my daughter lost 75 pounds on NutriSystem, after the birth of her first son. She said it was really easy to follow and had a lot of choices for food.

I know that you can join "internet only" and talk to your consultant on-line or on the phone. My boyfriend and I chose to go every week to weigh in because that is a bigger incentive for me. I wouldn''t call it a "meeting." You weigh in, talk for a minute, then pick your food for the week.

I did NutriSystem longer ago so I don''t remember the cost. I seem to remember it costing less and being more convenient. If they have improved their food definitely give it a try. For me, Jenny Craig had more food that appealed to my "comfort food" cravings - Chicken Carbonara, Macaroni and cheese, lasagna, all of which I really liked. I also liked their cakes and chocolate cheesecake. I''m such a stress eater that I HAVE to have food that I think is satisfying or else I cheat

My husband did NS to lose weight for a wedding and it definitely worked for him. He was training for a half-marathon at the same time and cutting back on alcohol, and the combination of the three resulted in him losing 25 pounds and looking great for our wedding. I tried the nutrisystem and found a lot of the food unedible, and gave me stomach aches at work

I signed myself up for 2 months of bootcamp at a local park and that worked much better for me.

We didn''t turn off the NS auto ship early enough and now have probably hundreds of dollars worth of that stuff in the pantry. I''m trying to serve it every third night for dinner just to get rid of it

It is much more appetizing though if you take it out of the little trays and put on a plate and cover up with veggies

hi blissfull bride and anyone else interested...just wanted to give you an update...I love nutrisystem! I've been on it for a week now and the food is good and really easy to prepare. They have a lot of choices and I am never really hungry. I've actaully lost 4 pounds

so far.

If you get auto delivery it comes out to about $10 day which isnt that bad.
