As you all know, this time last Friday, I began my Nutrisystem program. I was extremely excited to be a part of Nutrisystem Nation Blogger program. Finally - something "good" happened to me. It has been a rough several years and I had really let myself get out of control weight-wise. Food was my comfort! I think food is comfort for a lot of people - that is why the obesity rate is so high in the United States I am sure.
I am not going to lie, the first 2 to 3 days were hard! Why? The portion sizes were smaller than what I was used to but I guess I didn't get so overweight by eating proper proportions now did I? Nope. I overate a lot. And I didn't realize how much I had overeaten all of those years until I really started this plan.
It was hard because the first three days I was on the plan, the rest of my family were eating out every day those three days. Let me just say those moments could have broken me if I let them...but I didn't. I was strong! Hey, I even went in with my husband and kids to Burger King (day 1 mind you) and sat down and ordered NOTHING. I watched them eat and smelled the food and became a little grumpy....hahaha..I did. I was grumpy and I don't even like Burger King! But I knew that I had to either be serious about this program or continue on being unhealthy and missing out on things in life - I chose to be serious about the program.
After the third day, I woke up NOT hungry and, honestly, I cannot remember the last time I had woken up NOT hungry. Even when I haven't been dieting, I always woke up hungry. But not that day and, you know what, not the next day either! Progress!!!
The foods have been really good. Now there have been a few things that I haven't liked but that is to be expected. Everyone's taste is different but that is why I am so thrilled that Nutrisystem has such a great wide selection of foods - basically something for everyone!
My favorites so far have been the breakfast foods. I love the ham and cheese omlette (so yummy) and the blueberry muffins are good and moist like they were freshly baked a few minutes before you ate it! For lunch I really like the pastas and the chicken noodle soup. And dinner, OH MY GOODNESS!!!! The ravioli formaggio!!!! To die for! Seriously, I haven't tasted anything that good (even in a restaurant) and I am so picky about my sauces...I think I could eat it at least four times a week - no joke! My favorite snacks/desserts were the Nutrichocolates and the ice cream sandwiches!!! I was a little disappointed with the chips (I am a huge chip person) but that is okay - there were other things to make up for it!
Sooooo with all of this being said, are you wondering what my weight loss was for week one on Nutrisystem? Well, wait no more because I am about to tell you....
DRUM ROLL PLEASE .....FORGET DRUM ROLL - INSERT MARCHING BAND!!!!!!!
I lost 11 pounds on Week 1 of the Nutrisystem plan!!!! I was so excited that I have already emailed Meredith, my Nutrisystem rep, my scale picture!!!! Unbelievable and CRAZY GOOD results!!!! Woo-hoo!!!
Now I know that I will not lose like that from here on out but what a great way to start the program. I stuck to the plan like glue! The only thing I didn't do is for the last few days, I am sure that I didn't get my water intake in by about 2 to 3 cups. But the rest, I followed through EXACTLY as written. Just proof that YOU CAN DO THIS TOO!!!! This program WORKS and maybe one day I will get to be on a commercial. Yeah - stop laughing - but that is my goal right now!!! lolol. Hey - you never know! I never thought I would have this wonderful company giving me this awesome opportunity, but they did, and I am so happy!
In case you missed my last post, Nutrisystem has locked in their rates for a limited time to 2003 prices!!! Seriously - they have! So go HERE and check it out for yourself. This program works!!!! And seriously, for the price of ONE fast food meal, you can basically have your whole day of food from Nutrisystem for one day.
