Need to lose weight

Has anyone tried or know anyone that did the Nutrisystem diet? I don;t want to waste the money on it if it won't be successful. I really want to lose 30 pounds in the next 5 months if not more. Please help!!!!!

Re: Need to lose weight

Yes yes yes. My FH has used nutrisystem in the past and has lost major weight (like over 110lbs) And at one point I believe he even lost 30 pounds in a month. I know that its 4890x easier for guys to lose weight, but they kinda make it foolproof b/c you just gotta eat their food and a few extra things like baked potatoes or something. Good luck! I'm a WW fanatic if you ever decide to do that :) I know the points of basically every food ever.

FYI, this is the first time I've ever used any of the abbreviations/initials in a post. I feel pretty proud.

I have a friend who did nutrisystem and lost a lot of weight but hated the fact that she had to spend so much money on all the food. I recommend weight watchers b/c you dont have to buy their food and it definitely shows results!

Thanks guys I appreciate it. I wanted to do Weight Watchers but with my work schedule I would never be ab;e to go to meetings to get weighted in.

I have only gone to one meeting since starting WW. Its not really necessary unless you feel you need it. I know a lot of people go to the meetings for support but FH is doing it with me so we motivate and push each other. And I weigh myself at home every week, so if you dont have the time for the meetings, dont let that stop you from doing the diet

It's actually a lot cheaper than Jenny Craig, although JC's food does tatse better. With either of those diets, they will work and I think they're good to give you a little 'jump start' BUT just remember it's not magic food and the time will come when you'll have to start eating 'real' food again - which is when WW does come in handy. HTH!

I agree. I am thinking of doing this for a month or two for the initial jump start then switching over to WW for the maintenance. I appreciate the advice

Re: Need to lose weight

I just wanted to add that i've been on both jenny and nutrisystem. I should have piut in my original post that i thought jenny was better b/c of the food. it tastes better. Also, w/ jenny you have more accountability I believe.

My mom has been on it since January/February and she looks great! She's lost just about 30lbs by now! I definately recommend it, I might be trying it next year like a few months before my wedding!

one of my friends did nutrisystem two years ago and lost 30lbs! When she got off it though she gained it all back so its a program you really need to stay on it seems.

Re: Need to lose weight

my sister is on nutrisystem right now.

IMO, its expensive, and while it DOES work (she's lost about 25 lbs in a little over a month), I know many people that gained the weight right back after they stopped buying the NS meals and started eating regular food again.

Re: Need to lose weight

Hi i just wanted to tell you that...I have been on Jenny Craig for 8 weeks and i lost 21 lbs...i have tried every diet out there believe me including weight watchers several times... This has been so wonderful for me...Initially it is a little expensive for the first time because u have to register and than for the next 2 weeks because they want you to try all the foods...but after that u can choose how much u want to buy...i only buy food for 5 days a week because on the weekends Im home to make my meals...u have to be careful to stay in your calorie guidelines which your consultant will tell u what they are...They tell u that after a certain amount of time u wont have to buy that much of there food and u can incorparate your own meals into your schedule... sorry this is long but i just wanted to let you know my opinion..

Weight Watchers you might not lose 30lbs but you may lose 20. I need to lose weight so far down 20lbs all I did is drink a ton of water, no carbs after 4, no food after 8

Re: Need to lose weight

I am a WW lifer- and of all the diets that I have been on- it is the easiest & cheapest- you can eat real food and you dont have to purchase their food- the meetings help you take the weight off faster- but when I cant make it there- I use their online tools and they work just as good... I originally lost 40 (and yes put back 15--- but now that I am in wedding mode- I am taking it off again :)

Re: Need to lose weight

I've lost 19 in about 3 months on WW. I know people who have done NutriSystem, but IMO WW is sooo much better because you can eat real food. You can go out and enjoy yourself, rather than make yourself suffer. I do their online program, so no meetings for me. I weigh myself in every Monday morning. It's great incentive to behave over the weekend and gives me a fresh start each week. The thing with it is it is not a diet, it is a lifestyle. If you have the diet mentality, you'll gain the weight back. Save yourself some money and try WW online. I have been so surprised by how accountable I feel to it and how dedicated I am. It truly is amazing.

Re: Need to lose weight

I tried Nutrisystem years ago and HATED it.

I did lose weight in the beginning because I was following it. Then after a couple of months, I found that it wasn't enough and I was constantly starving.

WW definetely works though, you get a lot more variety which I loved.

I've been on Jenny Craig for 7 weeks and have lost 22 lbs. So 30 lbs should be a breeze.
