As most of you know, I recently lost just over 50lbs. When the doctor told me that I was around 200 lbs, I decided that is it. Time to get my life back on track. If not for me, for my daughters. Well as the holidays tend to do, they messed up my routine a bit. I was not working out and I was not eating right. My husband, my sister-in-law, my nephew, my cousin’s son, and my youngest daughter have birthdays around the holidays so there was a lot of family get togethers with a lot of cake. That is why I am so thankful that I am a part of #NSNation for the next several months!
NutriSystem provides you with the foods you need for success. Over the next 3 months I will be working out with the T25 system from Beach Body as well as eating all NutriSystem foods. I cannot wait to document my journey and share it with you guys. Look for weekly updates and also posts about which foods I am loving, and which ones you might want to pass on.
NutriSystem has an online community filled with recipes, discussion boards, and a logging system so you can record everything you eat as well as your weights and measurements. I am really excited to see it all right in front of me. I think knowing what you are losing will really help keep the motivation going!
For my first week I will be going the Fast5+ that helps you drop five pounds and one inch around your waist in the first week! This week is different than the other weeks – think of it as a “boot camp”. I will be eating the food pictured above (Nutrisystem energi-zing shake, Craving Crusher shake, breakfast, lunch, and dinner) plus 4+ non-starchy veggie servings a day. I cannot wait to dig in this morning and get started with NutriSystem! All of the food that arrived actually looks really good. It came right to my doorstep which made things really easy. I was surprised at how quickly it was shipped and arrived – and I love that it auto renews for me! No trying to remember to order and worrying if I did or not. I have mommy brain more often than not! Find out more information here.
Every Monday I will be posting about my journey – my progress, which foods I love, which foods I hate, and how I am feeling.

Good luck to you. I generally eat/cook healthy on my own, but this is great for people who need that extra bit of help!
Great job!!! I need to lose 30, so I’m trying what I can. Not sure about the price of this, though – probably out of my budget. 🙁
Good luck on your journey. I tried this once and had good results.
I love the fact that your order auto-renews — I always leave things like that til the last minute. You look great, I’m looking forward to hearing how it goes!

Wow you received a very full package of products. Hope it really helps you on your weight loss journey.
’tis the season to run my tush off on the treadmill. 😉 The Nutrisystem sounds exciting!
I’ve tried nutrasystem before and actually really liked most of the foods. The biggest thing I gained was just the basic plan and how to structure your day around your meals, not vice versa.
Good luck I’ve wondered about Nutrasystem before if it really works, is it expensive? I can’t wait to read more about your progress and see how it goes.
Congrats on the 50 lbs!! I’ve always wondered about nutria system! Losing 5 lbs in a week will be amazing! I can’t wait to see your progress!

I am going to be keeping an eye on you during this! I want to see how it goes and how the food is. I am always worried about how the food will taste!
So far the food is actually amazing. I expected it to be awful but I am loving everything I have tried so far.
Best of luck! I’ve heard that Nurtisystem food is really tasty, so that should make sticking to it much easier.

Congrats on your weight loss!! I have heard great things about the Nutrisystem and the food looks yummy!! Can’t wait to see your continued success!
How are the ingredients in their products? I have always avoided them because I figured they weren’t all natural.
They have many many all natural options! You can work with a nutrisystem counselor to get the right products for you 🙂
I think the product covers all the nutrients needed by the body without loading you up on the calories. Good luck on your weight loss goal.
Congratulations on your weight loss! You look so good.. inspiring me to follow a better diet 🙂
I for one, need to lose the holiday weight. I’ve always wondered about nutrisystem and wondered what it looks like when it arrives. Thanks for sharing the pictures and keep up the good work at aiming for your goal!
Fantastic idea- and you look great! I don’t think you need to lose anything else but, so long as you’re focusing on your health and the pounds keep melting off- all the power to you hun! Good luck on your journey.
Awww well thank you. 🙂
I think it helps a lot when all the meals are planned and portioned out. I wish you much success in your effort. Now off I go to take care of myself. 😉
I love Nutrisystem and I know it works. The meals are so amazing and perfect portions. I lost ten pounds in just two weeks on the program. Thanks for sharing.
How awesome! I gained around 1.5 kg over the holidays and I soo need to be in this weight loss program!!
I’ll be interested to see how well this works. I use several Beachbody workouts to supplement my running and have loved them.
Now this has gotten my interest. I definitely need to lose weight too. 🙁 Hopefully soon..
Congratulations on your weight loss achievement thus far! Glad to be joining you on the Nutrisystem journey!!
I have always wondered with these products and if they worked or not. Congrats on your achievements so far! I love how everything is so organized as well, that dessert looks delish!
