Nutrisystem Week 22 Update: 15.5 lbs Down

Nutrisystem Total Twenty-Two Week Loss: 15.5 lbs

This weeks loss: .1 lbs

lol ok so .1 loss. Loss is loss :) had a horrible weekend- blech, ate horribly. Boo. Cleaned up my act all week and came back so Im actually happy & surprised to see a loss- yay! I love that a clean week can undo a bad weekend. I hate that I have so many bad weekends. Maybe I should work on weekends to keep me structures ;) lol not, so much into that idea.....

Here is my newest Nutrisystem creation. You know I love the bars for lunch so I am doing 2 oz grilled chicken on my salad and mixing my fat free ranch with fresh salsa for the dressing. Then bar for dessert. Yummo! Newest obsession....Heres some of the bars...

Here is a recent pic of me. My mama sent me this sweater she found (we have a thing for Snoopy) at a thrift shop. It was all old style so I chopped it up and up-cycled it into an 80's-esque look -which we all know is back in full effect. Pretty cute. And I totally like this pic cuz I look thin (disregard my pajama pants LOL)

Have  a nice healthy weekend everyone!

Nutrisystem Week 21 Update: 15.4 lbs Down

Nutrisystem Total Twenty-One Week Loss: 15.4 lbs

This weeks loss: .3 lbs

Not a huge loss but again, a loss is a loss! I am so happy to have hit my goal with Nutrisystem!  I DID in fact wear my bikini last weekend tubing. It wasnt the best idea because in reality, how many people look great in a bikini sitting. Eh oh well, no harm done. We did get pics but on a disposable film (whats that?) camera. So they wont be developed until we finish the roll. We go next weekend again so probably sooner rather than later.

I seriously LOVE not having to cook my meals. It is such a time sucker cooking, cleaning, prepping. Nutrisystem has really freed up some valuable time for me these past 5+ months and I LOVE that! Not having to think about food prep, shopping, cooking, etc is so nice. Especially in these hot months. 

It really is a plan that I can live by and follow. So many plans out there just dont have sticking factor. Going into 6 months on Nutrisystem and going strong! I can def see this as a long term plan. They offer plans for once you have hit your goal- ala carte and dinner/ breakfast/ lunch only type options. They also have "weekends off" which is a good choice for me that I will be looking into. Here is tonight's dinner, comfort food Nutrisystem style- Chicken Alfredo:

Havent gotten tired of the food yet- probably because they have SO many options! I dont even have to repeat the same meal within a week- which is more variety than I typically got off Nutrisystem because I'm not preparing 7 different meals each week. I used to do 3-4 and duplicate a few days.  (Not sure why I went rainbow on this post LOL). Check out JANET JACKSON!!!!!!!! WOW.

Nutrisystem Week 20 Update: 15.1 lbs Down (UHM YAY!)

Nutrisystem Total Twenty Week Loss: 15.1 lbs

This weeks loss: 2.2 lbs

Woot! Go me! Great weigh in- thats a huge loss for me!!! and drum roll- I hit my goal of 15 lbs down on Nutrisystem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am actually contemplating wearing a bikini tomorrow. A full on bikini, I always wear a bikini top but with shorts for bottoms. WELL I actually do own bikini bottoms but never wear them. We are tubing with friends tomorrow and I am seriously considering it- like 99% sure. I may still chicken out LOL but the plan is bikini top AND bottom. DH is rooting for the full on bikini- so at least he has confidence in me - hehe...My main issue is when tubing we're sitting. We have a river limo type tube, so you know the squished thigh syndrome- yep I get it. So maybe Ill bring a sarong to lay across my lap- to block the sun- ya that's it....

Anyhow we bring snacks, drinks, and lunch to eat on our river limo whilst tubing but I will come prepared with my Nutrisystem lunch bars and snacks and plenty of water (its like 113 this weekend) so I should be good to go! I will post pics (if we get any) next week. Heres the river limo tube we have  - its SO fun!

Nutrisystem Week 20 Update: 12.9 lbs Down

Nutrisystem Total Twenty Week Loss: 12.9 lbs

This weeks loss: .2 lb

Not a huge loss but a loss is a loss! I'm always happy with a loss! 

I am still fighting this stinking trap injury :( I am proud of myself for continuing on with my lower body & my cardio workouts but am irritated that my upper body muscle is going to be completely deteriorated by the time I can even get back to my upper body workouts. Ugh so frustrating- its been well over 3 weeks now. Sucks. Sucks even more cuz even holding my dumbbells for lower body work hurts my trap, placing them on my shoulders - hurts my trap, wearing a weighted vest- hurts my trap. I am being creative and using no more than 15# dumbbells and am alternating the position of the weights as not to further irritate. Boo and so on.

With all that said, food really does weigh in on the weight loss equation more than exercise so as long as I continue following my NS plan, I can keep losing. So there you have it....Anyway - here is a recent pic of me this past weekend

DH, Me, Friend of DH w/ the same name as DH :)

Nutrisystem Week 19 Update: 12.7 lbs Down

Nutrisystem Total Eighteen Week Loss: 12.7 lbs

This weeks loss: 1.1 lb


Yay over 1 lb lost this week!!!! My eating has been great this week so I knew I'd see a loss. I see some new foods on NS that I can not wait to try! This is my last month on NS and I am excited to see how I fare. Hoping for a 15 lb loss. I am so close to my goal and the weight comes off more slowly as I get closer it seems. Here's a few new Nutrisystem foods I can not wait to try YUM: Chocolate Cheesecake, Fire Roasted Red Pepper, Orzo, Shrimp and Lobster Langostino, and Beef & Bean Burrito.

I feel like Ive been really killing my w/o's too but its hard to tell because my workout room is so freakin' hot! Ugh, I am leaving the room soaking wet- sweat you know! I have the house AC (obviously, we live in the desert), a fan going, and I have a mini AC unit. My room is upstairs and because of the mini AC the window is cracked to accommodate the tube thingy which really makes the room stinking hot. It came with a panel to put in the window to block but the panel thing is made for a a horizontal window and I have a vertical window in that room. So, I prob need to figure out a way to block that though cuz its getting unbearable and its only July. Any ideas?

Nutrisystem Week Eighteen Update: 11.6 lbs Down

Nutrisystem Total Eighteen Week Loss: 11.6 lbs

This weeks loss: - .4 lb

ugh up .4 lbs- not a big deal. I was actually down .1 lbs the day before "official weigh in' so I think its partly water weight (TOM and strength workouts) and partly normal fluctuations. Regardless not the most stellar week but Im not going to get down on myself. 

I am fighting an injury - my upper back/ trap is all jacked up (highly technical term) so I have not been doing upper body workouts- boo. I know that wont effect my weigh-ins but I miss my UB w/o's and know when i can finally start them back up Im going to have to do so slowly and w/ lighter weights. Oh well. I have however been focusing on lower body & cardio w/o's.  So my w/o time has not suffered- just a shift in focus, for now.......Heres a highlight of what Im having for lunch today: mmmmm Meatball Parmesan Melt. This is one of my alltime favorite Nutrisystem lunches! Add a side salad with some beans or turkey breast atop for a complete meal. Yummers!

Nutrisystem Week Seventeen Update: 12 lbs Down

Nutrisystem Total Seventeen Week Loss: 12 lbs

This weeks loss: 1 lb


WOOT! GO me :) Here is some exciting news from Nutrisystem that I know you will all be thrilled to learn about:

NUTRISYSTEM DEBUTS ITS ENHANCED NUTRISYSTEM D DIET PLAN SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR PEOPLE WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES

Three Clinical Studies Find Nutrisystem® D® Program, in Combination with Counseling, Beneficial for People with Type 2 Diabetes 

Program Meets the American Diabetes Association’s® Nutritional Guidelines & Now Includes Certified Diabetes Educators Offering Expert Advice   

FORT WASHINGTON, PA, July 12, 2012 - Nutrisystem (NASDAQ: NTRI), a leading provider of weight management products and services, today announced the debut of its enhanced weight management plan for people with diabetes, Nutrisystem D. Nutrisystem D is a home-delivered, portion-controlled, nutritionally balanced weight loss program that is based on the science of the low glycemic index and meets the nutritional guidelines of the American Diabetes Association.* The program is specifically designed to help people with type 2 diabetes effectively lose weight and better manage their blood glucose levels.  The basis for the enhanced program includes new clinical findings, a new means of customer access to Certified Diabetes Educators, and a previously announced, expanded relationship as a National Strategic Partner with the American Diabetes Association.*American Diabetes Association: Standards of medical care in diabetes - 2012 (Position Statement). Diabetes Care 35 (suppl.1): S11-S63. 

The Importance of Addressing Diabetes 

• - Today about 26 million people - roughly 10% of the U.S. adult population - have diabetes, according to the American Diabetes Association; on average, there is a new case of diabetes diagnosed in the U.S. every 17 seconds. 
• - Another 79 million adults over the age of 30 have pre-diabetes, meaning they are at high risk for developing the disease. The disease kills more Americans than breast cancer and HIV combined, and is a major driver of preventable healthcare costs. 
• - Several independent studies, including the NIH multicenter study known as Look AHEAD (Action for HEAlth in Diabetes), have shown that losing as little as 5%-10% of body weight can slow the progression of type 2 diabetes, help people improve their glucose, blood pressure and more, and take fewer related costly medications. Being overweight also adds to the risk of medical complications and premature death for those with the disease.

Nutrisystem Week Sixteen Update: 11 lbs Down

Nutrisystem Total Sixteen Week Loss: 11 lbs

This weeks loss: .6 lbs

BAM take that- 11 pounds down!!!! Did everyone have a kicking 4t h? I did! We grilled (despite the heat heat heat). There was burgers, dogs, all sorts of fatty side dishes, desserts, drinks and more BUT I did great, I had my Nutrisystem Flame Broiled Beef Patty (aka nutriburger!) - they are excellent on the grill. I also made sure we had a bunch of green onions & asparagus- which are also amazing on the grill. Chowed down on those and then had a float for dessert. Diet orange soda with a Nutrisystem Orange Creme Bar in it- seriously refreshing and just what the dr ordered ;)

Hope you all had a happy and healthy 4th!

Week Fourteen Update: .2 Lbs Down

Nutrisystem Total Fourteen Week Loss: 10.4 lbs

This weeks loss: .2 lbs

Did good with food this week! Really prepped in advance and had a plan. That really is the key- dont let yourself get into a situtation without a plan. Bring the food & water you are going to need for the amount of time you are going to be out. If you dont bring it and you get hungry or thirsty, odds are you will reach for whats convenient or buy something that is not a great choice- even worse you end up in the drivethrough!

 I love the variety of the frozen Nutrisystem foods but really love the convenience of the shelf stables foods. I really rely on the bars and muffins and such to keep on hand for busy days. Weekends in particular- its just so easy to toss a bar & a banana in my purse and take with me. No heating required, quick & easy! So not a huge loss this week but a loss is a loss and you know Im happy! I feel like I am right on track with where my body needs to be! Do wish me luck this weekend- its my birthday party and the theme is cupcakes - need I say more!

Nutrisystem Week 13 Update: 10.2 Lbs Down

Nutrisystem Total Thirteen Week Loss: 10.2 lbs

This weeks loss: 0 lbs

No loss, no gain. I was super super busy this week. We had a lot going on and I had a ton of cake orders in addition to all that. I think my major problem this week was not getting in enough vegetables. I got hungry before bed and just ended up going to bed hungry instead of eating my normal side salad and I know my body lacked in that department this week. I will do better next week.

I do bet when I have one weekend day set aside to do my grocery shopping and preportion all my salads & snacks and get my Nutrisystem meals set aside for each day (I guess you can say Im a planner LOL). It just makes it easier for me to wake up in the morning, grab my pile-o-food (lol) and be on my way. No thinking, no messing around in the AM when Im ALWAYS pressed for time. So that is my goal this week.

Now Im not saying Im unhappy with my weigh-in this week. No gain is GOOD in my book! I am happy to maintain and am ready to plow through next week! Lots of new Nutrisystem foods have been hitting the market, my local Fry's has some great options and Ive gotten to try some new Nutrisystem foods from my monthly shipments. My absolute favorite are the Nutrichocolates. MMMMMMM so sinful tasting!

Nutrisystem Week 11 Update: 9.9 Lbs Down

Nutrisystem Total Eleven Week Loss: 9.9 lbs

This weeks loss: .9 lbs

Uhm can I get a woot woot! I lost .8 lbs this week! And life got in the way a bit. One: Monday being a holiday I was lazy and didnt exercise- I am usually VERY consistent with my workouts so I didnt feel bad about taking the day off. Two: Wednesday night I did not sleep -like at all. I went to bed at 10:00, woke up at 12:30 and didnt fall back to sleep until 6:30. So I was so exhausted that I apparently slept right through my alarm LOL. I woke up at 8:35 (I usually leave to work at 8:30) so needless to say there was no workout that morning. I did in fact make it to work only 5 min late though so I have to say that is impressive despite waking up 5 min AFTER I usually leave.

BUT with all that said- my eating has been very good and I am super super happy about my loss this week. I really stuck to the meal plan, ate when I was supposed to eat and got in all my produce and it paid off! I'm also super excited that Ive been extended (YIPPEE) and will be on Nutrisystem 2 more months. So excited about the good news this will bring to my scale! And introducing a new dessert option from Nutrisystem that I can't get enough of:

Nutrisystem Chocolate Sandwich Cookies:

Nutrisystem Week 11 Update: 9.1 Lbs Down

Nutrisystem Total Eleven Week Loss: 9.1 lbs

This weeks loss: 0 lbs

Blah. 

Ive been feeling not so hot this week, stomach issues, head aches, etc. It has been going around here big time. So my eating was not quite as good as it should have been. Boo- Im pretty dissapointed but whatever. The week is over and Im already onto a new week.  I will say I have never been one of those people that ever loses weight when Im not feeling well lol. I am more prone to bad eating when not feeling my best...

My stomach issues seemed to lighten up mid-week so I did some super intense workouts and I will just say that they def increased my appetite and I felt just hungry all day some days. I can only go so long being hungry before I just overdue it. But all in all- no loss, no gain this week.  I am going to strategize and plan better for the upcoming week and will certainly see better numbers!
