I mean on the gym part of that, pilates and or yoga works for me as well but the DVD's can be bought for around 8.00 to 19.00 dollars at the stores, which saves money and time plus walking out doors is free and if you have small children there is your weights.Ok I started Nutrisystem due to just like many of you believed the hype after reading a section in I think Allure on it. After giving birth to my fourth child only weighing in at 198 at birth 179 after, I thought ok I did it before (meaning got down to a 4-6 pant size after the last three) so I can again. After seeing the commercials I thought ok maybe this will make it faster than the average 7mths. for me. So I went to Walmart and got the two week starter program. Now bear in mind I never was a heavy eater to begin with maybe at most three small light meals a day an a snack.So no headaches, or intollerance to such a plan. So anyhow it came in the mail two weeks later and sure enough as it said I started to drop weight. I looked in the mirror and everything but my hips (which takes extra work no diet can solve) were back to a size 6. Ok I was happy no need to throw money away to more I was were I wanted to be again. Now here is the catch 22, I in the last few weeks notice since ending that I crave so much food and put it all back on. After sitting around wondering what is going on I figured it out with my doctor to some degree. 1) Nutrisystem is a high protein diet, 2) that only contains certain calories and fat due to such processing used 3) To find that in regular food besides fruit and veggie diet or plan raw meat diet good luck. So my complaint here is no the food to me minus the sweet and sour chicken was to sweet or the brownie dry or lastly the scones tasted like lighter fluid literally, It was great I actually enjoyed the food. My message so to say is watch yourself at the end it will bite back. I have now switch back to my tried and true way loads of fruit and veggies during day and dinner salad with the fixings and steak, chicken strips, or shrimp on top made by me not MC'D or Wendy's etc., and walking randomly in stores, parks, or along the road I live on it http://www.dietblogtalk.com/WPB/reviewed-products/nutrisystem/comment-page-5/#comment-80225 Dr. Macey Adams Tue, 09 Mar 2010 18:37:24 +0000 #comment-80225 I am responding to Sandy & Cynthia. Not only am I a physician, I work mainly with professional women athletes. Amy is not anorexic or have any disorder. People with eating disorders do not and can not maintain muscle tone. To get muscle tone, as Amy clearly has, you need protein & carbs- the right nutrition. You see her abs- clearly! Someone with poor nutrition cannot build muscle tone and it would be impossible to have arms like Amy's. Amy- my guess, is about 5'3. She is a small framed woman with incredible muscle tone. Her hair is shiny & her eyes are bright. These are all quick visual checks from my perspective. She would be the ideal spokes person Nutrisystem. She has been successful on the program & kept the weight off since 2007! I know this because Amy was mentioned in Forbes. As I mentioned, I worked with professional athletes for over 15 years- I can recognize muscle tone. Hats off to any woman who seeks a healthier lifestyle! http://www.dietblogtalk.com/WPB/reviewed-products/nutrisystem/comment-page-5/#comment-80174 TaraF Wed, 03 Mar 2010 04:16:32 +0000 #comment-80174 I was going to purchase NutriSystem because I thought, "Wow Marie Osmond looked like she had achieved great results". Afterall, isn't that the point of their commercials? To see how well someone can do? Than I thought, isn't it interesting that Marie Osmond became the Spokesperson for NutriSystem AFTER she did Dancing with the Stars? I decided to read reviews of NutriSystem and have decided not to purchase it. If I pay to select my own foods (which I would) I would want what I ordered to be delivered to me and not substitutes which from what I read happens very often. It's definately not for me. I will buy my South beach Diet dinners and work out thank you very much. http://www.dietblogtalk.com/WPB/reviewed-products/nutrisystem/comment-page-5/#comment-80171 Cynthia Tue, 02 Mar 2010 21:53:10 +0000 #comment-80171 I can't believe that Nutrisystem airs the commercial featuring the lovely yet horribly anorexic "Amy". The shot of her in the bikini is simply awful. Nutrisystem should pay for Amy to see nutritionist so she can get healthy. Stop airing ads that do nothing but cause women and young girls to have a skewed body image. Amy...seek help immediately. http://www.dietblogtalk.com/WPB/reviewed-products/nutrisystem/comment-page-5/#comment-80081 sandy Wed, 24 Feb 2010 19:32:37 +0000 #comment-80081 I am very disturbed by the commercial that features Marie Osmond and a woman named Amy. Is that woman anorexic and is that the image the company wants to portray? http://www.dietblogtalk.com/WPB/reviewed-products/nutrisystem/comment-page-5/#comment-76029 jill Thu, 21 Jan 2010 21:27:27 +0000 #comment-76029 Well, i just started ns 3 days ago.....i find the food is alright...still experiancing hunger pangs, but it is to be expected i guess.I am fat because i have a real hard time with portion control..when i looked at the size of the lunch and dinners, at how small they are, i realised that no wonder why i am fat.I alos talked to alot of very thin friends of mine, and i found out that they sort of nibble all day long.. which i think is the key to changing my approach to food.. since a diet is just that, something to help you loose the excess fat, but, no matter which diet you choose, if you dont change your lifestyle, the weight will come back.. So, eating small amounts every 3 hours or so, seems quite logical... and hopefully i can loose the weight i have gained, and not be tempted to go back to my old chow hound mega meals... i am approaching this weight lose regime, with more than the obvious need to loose weight, but to try to understand, and control my need to stuff myself....this has got to change...I have to learn to manage my appetite, be more active, and to eat when i need , not when i want.. alot to do, and think about and change for the next 7, or 8 months, but, the weight loss, which i am determined to do, is the just the tip of the iceberg.. even if i need to get some sort of therapy.. because, i do not want to be fat again.. so big lifestyle change.. and my choice of ns was simply for convienence, since i work long hours, get home late tired and hungry, i needed a plan, that was simple..The maintanence part when i do succed is not ns problem, but mine... http://www.dietblogtalk.com/WPB/reviewed-products/nutrisystem/comment-page-5/#comment-73565 julie Mon, 11 Jan 2010 00:02:23 +0000 #comment-73565 I'm trying Nutrisystem again--I have the packaged foods but don't know what I'm supposed to add on to each meal. Can anyone tell me what the additions to the plan are for women over 40? http://www.dietblogtalk.com/WPB/reviewed-products/nutrisystem/comment-page-5/#comment-73056 Brandy Fri, 04 Dec 2009 21:35:59 +0000 #comment-73056 The first time I used Nutrisystem I lost 35 lbs in 2 months. I'm using it for the second time because I just had a baby 3 months ago. The food is okay but you can add your own seasonings to flavor it up. I've been on the program for 2 weeks and have already lost 10 lbs. 10 lbs of real weight not water weight which is what you lose with alot of diet pills. I've been so successful because I follow the program to a T. I don't cheat and drinking 8, 8oz glasses of water is vitally important. I also started doing my pilates and yoga again, minimally because I'm a little out of shape for not working out the past year. I believe in this program but you do have to commit to it. http://www.dietblogtalk.com/WPB/reviewed-products/nutrisystem/comment-page-5/#comment-72896 CLS Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:54:03 +0000 #comment-72896 Have lost 19 lbs in 2 months and still going. Love the structure and convenience plus the community support is awesome. http://www.dietblogtalk.com/WPB/reviewed-products/nutrisystem/comment-page-5/#comment-72397 Theresa Sat, 31 Oct 2009 01:36:20 +0000 #comment-72397 I have lost 70 lbs. on Nutrisystem in four months! While I am not at goal weight, I continue to work at it. I find that the food is very good especially when you learn how to make it! You need to become a good cook! There are recipes online, but creativity and vegetarian or organic cookbooks help! I am full and never hungry! I've begun to naturally eat less. In addition, I've started to become active by walking, swimming, and doing light activities once again! I feel so much better, and am able to fit into clothes I haven't worn in years! It's been exciting to buy new clothes in smaller sizes. I have gone from a size 22 to a 14. I am now a Junior Member and have made some very good friends who do some great coaching! The Nutrisystem counselors have been a tremendous help in selecting foods, preparing foods, overcoming problems or questions, and have always been there for all of my needs. My PCP knows I am on Nutrisystem and told me that he knows it works because others have been successful. He told me it is a great program to go on. So, I tried it after seeing a Marie Osmond commercial and talking it over with my PCP. I'm so happy I did! For you to fail on this diet, it means you don't follow the program. To get metabolism working, you drink water and exercise! Being creative with cooking the meals and with the right meal planning, you have the perfect choice! I did take the time to speak with Senior Members and chat with them. I entered blogs and chat rooms. Everything just clicked together for me! I know I will reach goal shortly and NEVER forgot or stop doing what I have learned to do on Nurtisystem! I LOVE YOU NURTRISYSTEM!
