I bit the bullet today and ordered the Nutrisystem program, wish me luck....Val:eek:

Good luck Val! Hope you like Sodium, cause Nutri-System is packed full of it ;)

I know someone who tried it for a month and returned the rest. Now she's on the prepackaged meals and counts points. Lost quite a bit of weight since then. Not to shoot Nutri-System down, I'm sure it works for a lot of people. Much cheaper once you get all the literature from it and buy your own meals.

But why Val???

You've never seemed to have alot extra on your frame, unless something has majorly changed since the last pics you posted.

So many women these days seem to think that hollywood "skin and bones" look is nice, but a woman at a realistic and _healthy_ weight is a hell of alot more attractive.

The way I figure it, it was something I needed to try before I died and yes I put some extra weight on since the surgery...dont feel like going and buying new clothes...I know what I am comfortable at, and that includes plenty of curves;) anything over that is just fat.........I am fat...but thanks for the heads up....

Good Luck Val. Sorry I didnt respond sooner so far I am down by about 15 lbs. I am working hard (or was it hardly working) on eating those four to six small meals a day (Alot of days I miss it, but I still at least grab breakfast every day.) And trying to work a bit more excercise in. Life is still hectic, but it is still good too.

Up date on the weight loss :( first off I am not a big scale girl, I go by a couple of pairs of pants....I put on a favorite pair of jeans for the heck of it and had room to spare....I have been following the Nutri-system for a couple of weeks now and the weight is falling off of me. The food is not that bad, in fact I am always pleasantly surprized, because the packaging is something from a war zone...oh its got pretty pictures on it...but really its quite edible for a southern girl.....use to gravy and biscuits....anyway its working and working fast for me...so I am pleased....Val

My weight loss has slowed a bit this week because I have not done nearly as well on the meal eating/excercise. . . . . anyway back to the grind it is comming off and I WILL get the rest of it off of me.
