I began using NutriSystem last September. My goal was to lose 70 pounds. Well, I'm proud to say I've done it!! After just 44 weeks, on June 29th, I weighed in 71 pounds lighter. So many people have complimented me along the way, which is quite encouraging and supportive. I tell everyone about NutriSystem ? some of my friends will be starting their weight loss program soon. Friends and co-workers who haven't seen me since the fall have been shocked upon seeing the "new me" (who I haven't seen for 10 years!). I've told them how easy losing weight was with NutriSystem. I never feel hungry. Best of all, the success I see each week motivates me to go on. Thanks, NutriSystem!

Hi, I enjoyed your article and agree that NutriSystem (which I have been on for five months) is the best. However, there is an error in your write up: “They have an ongoing deal that will supply one weeks free food with every 4 week order (see the free deal here). This amounts to $280 for 5 weeks food.” This is incorrect. While there is a promotion for a free week’s worth of food with a four week purchase, it’s a one time deal to sign up new members. After that, you get 4 weeks at a time. Also, while it sounds fairly accurate to me that the majority of people stay with NS for 9 weeks, a LOT of people end up sticking to the plan using their own foods to prepare meals equivalent to the packaged NS items. Check the message boards on the site - you’ll find plenty of postings regarding this. Otherwise a great article.

WOW for NutriSystem! This is my 9th day and I have lost 10 lbs. I follow the plan and have cheated everyday...but only between breakfast and lunch ( longtime to me....however, I cheated with something they recommend on the diet, and even with cheating (sometimes you just need something) I used portion control (ironic. Overall, I am pleased, but this following week I have been told is the week that I will perhaps start to see the results in my waistline. My mother told already after the 10th day that my waist looked smaller. Also, I excerise everyday for 30 mins. which probably helps, and builds muscle. We all know that muscle weighs more than fat. I love this diet and have so much energy. The food is great for a prepackaged dioet. The people who are saying that it is horrible are sadly mistaken if they think they are going to get gourmet food shipped to them at only $270 a month. Also, The diet really is not that expensive. Think about how much you spend on groceries a month, plus going to fast food places, plus your morning latte, plus some Haggen-Daas(however you spell it)etc. You spend on average about 400 amonth on food alone and dont even notice it. It is the paying up front that throws people off. But, then again, I am single, working, living with my parents rent-free for the summer. Anyway, my plan is to lose 30lbs before I return to college, and at 10 lbs in 9 days, I think I may hit they goal pretty soon. My total goal is to lose 80 lbs. Good Luck Everyone, and give NutriSystem a shot if you are on the fence trying to make a decision!!!
