Well guys, I've always had weight issues--ever since I was around 17 my weight started fluctuating. I danced for many years, and when I stopped that, I didn't change my eating habits, and I gained quite a bit of weight. I would gain weight, do a diet, be fine for awhile, then gain weight back, and so on. And here I am, 27 years old, and still watching my weight go up and down on the scale!
As of right now I am back to my "heaviest point", I was also this size about six years ago, but managed to lose the weight and keep it off for a few years before slowly gaining more weight over the past few years.
This post isn't so much about my eating or work out habits and my insight into my weight issues, but it's more of a tool to help keep me accountable AND to share my experience about Nutrisystem with you guys in case anyone else has been curious about the program, food, etc.
I did Nutrisystem in April 2010 before my wedding and lost 10 lbs in about a month's span, not bad. I found the food to be pretty good, overall, and REALLY love that all of the food is prepackaged and designated to eat when, what. I am pretty busy between school and work, so don't have time to count nutrition facts and track things, etc. It's a huge help just being able to pick out what sounds good, and throwing my whole day's food into my bag.
I am on my second day, and so far so good! Here is my menu so far:
Day 1:
Breakfast: chocolate muffin: I like the chocolate muffins! Granted, they don't have the delightful chocolate chocolate chunks most 'normal' chocolate muffins do, but this is DIET food people!!
Lunch: red beans and sausage: This was my first time eating this dish, and I actually was surprised with the amount of flavor and spice. I liked it a lot. However, it was a very small amount that came in the package! (This is true for about all of their items-the portions are small, obviously for a reason....)
Dessert (which I ate as an afternoon snack): Pound Cake. Pretty good, not bad, but not super sweet like typical pound cake.
Dinner: Buffalo chicken wrap: the taste is not bad, but the presentation is not promising, it mainly looks sort of a buffalo sauce colored goop, not like the photo on the box. But again, it doesn't taste bad. It is messy to eat though, so eating it at work or on the go is not the best idea (which is what I did, ha!).
I will keep checking in and post updates about how it's going and anything noteworthy about the food and the program, but at least wanted to put this out there for now!
