Nutrisystem - Week {4} Complete {sort of...}



Featured Sponsor


It was a crazy week four and I'm happy to say that it's over. With the stomach flu running through our house, the unfortunate last thing we all really wanted to do was eat. I did my best in trying to maintain a Nutrisytem meal plan, but with an uneasy stomach, the most I could muster to eat was toast. While most of my week was kept busy with sick kids, I was thrilled to find some Nutrisystem items that I could still stomach, including Golden French Toast, Italian Wedding Soup and Milk Chocolate Flavored Pretzels (even with a sick stomach, there's always a place for chocolate, LOL) Don't these look deeee-lish?



My promise for the next post, is (1) to get back to 100% {or at least 95%} (2) continue on my Nutrisystem journey (3) lose lose lose!


Weight Loss: -1.5 lb. -  hmmm... i'll take it, sickness or not!

Final Thoughts For The Week: Sickness runs rampant - wreaks havoc on household. blah! Looking forward to next week. Week 5 = strong healthy and strong!


Ready to join my on my Nutrisystem journey. Still unsure or on the fence.... discover the TRUTH about Nutrisystem. It's time to do a little mythbusting - Nutrisystem style!

Nutrisystem - Week {3} Complete


Featured Sponsor

Week no. {3} on Nutrisystem is DONE! Struggled this week. Mainly, in part, to this...

my girl, P!nk.

Every now and again, a girl really needs time with just her girlfriends, especially for a MUST see concert such as P!nk (well, purely for sanity reasons too) . And that we did... unfortunately, along with attending a concert, comes cocktails and snacks. Now, if you have ever dieted, you know that cocktails and snacks are typically a NO NO. Too many calories! So, with the concert at the end of the week, I was a not looking forward to stepping on the scale. What would be the results of my falling off the wagon? That was to be seen.... On the upside, thank goodness I hit the gym this past week. I was hoping that it would help me cancel out ALL of those empty calories.

If you've been following me on my journey, you will remember that last week, I was struggling with getting hungry while on the road. Good news, I've been keeping my tasty Nutrisystem snacks in the car for those moment when the hunger pang sets in! So... my goal from last week has been obtained. Ahhhh... SWEET SUCCESS! 

This past week, I've also discovered some very delicious Nutrisystem dinner options... Here are my TOP three from this week:

Turkey & Italian Sausage Pizza - Yep, you get to have pizza on Nutrisystem. my fav.


 Chili with Beans - Super hearty and quick to make. Perfect on a cold winter day! Topped with a dollop of light sour cream. mmmmm....
Lasagna with Meat Sauce - Who knew lasagna with pinto beans in it could be so delicioso!





And NOW the moment I was dreading uncertain about ...

Weight Loss: -1.0 lb. -  YES! (Total so far down -4.0 lbs. - yeah baby!)

Final Thoughts For The Week: Although cocktails are delicious and P!nk along with a GNO are fun, the empty calories are NOT worth it... (ok, P!nk and my girlies was a little worth it). week #4 here I come!

Thanks for all the support while I'm on the Nutrisystem journey. It means the world to me!

Nutrisystem - Week {2} Complete


Featured Sponsor



Week no. {2} on Nutrisystem is officially complete! I made it. I have to admit, it's been easy to follow, with only a few minor temptations throughout the week. There was a time or two that I got extra hungry at times, but that was my own fault for not planning my meals/snacks appropriately. I was traveling in my card and didn't have a handy and convenient Nutrisystem snack available, but I now keep a stash of snacks in my car! The Nutrisystem prepackaged snacks are super helpful when on the road!

My favorites from this week:

Blueberry Muffin - Perfect warmed up with a few sprays of butter!






Chicken Noodle Soup - Love it on these cold winter days!


Cheese Ravioli with Basil Tomato Sauce - can't go wrong with pasta, especially ravioli


 

Ice cream sandwich - enough said.

 



My new discovery this week: Nutrisystem iPhone App


I'm all about convenience, so when I came across an iPhone App for Nutrisystem, I was super delighted.

Nutrisystem - Week {1} Complete


Featured Sponsor 
 
Week no. {1} on Nutrisystem is now complete! Hooray I made it (and even through a Girls Night OUT!). I do have to say, I did "fall off the wagon" a bit during my GNO, but overall, I have to say... it was quite successful. I consciously made better food decisions knowing that they were going to be recorded in my daily food tracker! In addition, I also got some exercise in this past week! Nutrisystem is pretty simple to follow and for a mom of three kids, SIMPLE is key for me. What I liked most so far about the program (and call me silly if you like) but each meal is color coded. Did I mention I {heart} simple. I just open my pantry or freezer and pull out the appropriate meal time *color*. Lovin' it! So... I want to share with you some of my all time favorites from this first week. 



Favs so far...  

Breakfast Time (color code {BLUE}): Cinnamon Streusel Muffin, Homestyle Pancakes, Vanilla Protein Shakes (w/ frozen strawberries mixed in.), Sweetened O's Cereal.
Lunch Time (color code {ORANGE}): Steak & Cheese Melt, Kung Pao Noodles, Loaded Baked Potato, Margherita Pizza.

Dinner Time (color code {RED}): Ravioli Formaggio, Vegetable Lasagna, Italian Herb Flatbread Pizza
Dessert/Snack Time (color code {PURPLE}): Zesty Herb Snack Mix, Honey Mustard Pretzel Bits, Milk Chocolate Flavored Pretzels, Red Velvet Whoopie Pie (deelish!)

Unfortunately, with the good, there are a few NOT so good. 

Breakfast - Garden Vegetable Omelet - I just could not get past the texture of the omelet. It's flavor was ok, but something about it just wasn't great.

Lunch - So far, the lunch time has been quite successful. I am a little leery to try the chicken salad... will keep you posted.

Dinner - Risotto (ick, this will certainly not make my fav list next time).

Dessert/Snack - Everything has been quite tasty. I love me some desserts and snacks!

Now... drumroll, please. 

Starting Weight: Ugh. You don't want to know.
Weight Loss: - 2 lbs. (suuu-weet, considering GNO shenanigans!)

Final Thoughts For The Week: Food was much better than in previous years. The program was SIMPLE to follow. NOW... need to stick with it... onto week #2.

Nutrisystem - Let the 2013 Journey Begin...



Featured Sponsor


My new journey begins... and SOON!  I am completely thrilled to once again be a part of the wonderful  Nutrisystem blogger program.  As I am very excited to be a part of this program, I am equally as nervous. Change is difficult, but I am ready to do it!

There are a variety of programs to choose from when joining Nutrisystem, something to fit everyone's lifestyle and budget. I have chosen the Women’s SUCCESS Select Program that include the options of Nutrisystem favorites or the ability to handpick each of the food items to include in the meal plan. I used the favorites as a guide (It's their favorites for a reason, right?!) and handpicked some others that I thought sounded and looked delicious. 


Here's what I will get:
  • 18 days of ready-to-go breakfasts, lunches, dinners and desserts (yum)
  • 10 days of fresh-frozen breakfasts, lunches, dinners and (more) desserts (Shipped separately)
  • Daily Tracker to help you plan and track your meals
  • Resource Guide with all the need to know info
  • Online support and tools (including a convenient Nutrisystem app)


Do you sense a theme here? I do like LOVE my desserts! See what the typical day on Nutrisystem looks like below:


My food will be shipping shortly and therefore I've been working diligently to make room in my pantry and freezer! I can't wait to share with you, what I get... (the anticipation is killing me!)

When my journey begins, I will share with you, my readers, how the Nutrisystem program works and what it is doing for me. My hard-times, changes, happiness, struggles, weight-loss and most importantly, my victories will be posted weekly. I hope you will join me for the updates and lend your support to me. I will certainly need and appreciate it! My weekly weigh-ins will begin (eek!)... next week. 

In the meantime, I have joined the Nutrisystem community, which is FREE. Lots of good stuff, Food Diaries to track your progress, weight loss news and articles as well as other members' success stories! 

Like I mentioned earlier change is difficult, but I am definitely up for the challenge. As the new year continue, I will be well on  my way to a healthier and happier lifestyle. Can't wait!

Be sure to check back for the updates. *Thanks* for ALL your support!

Hooray You! (and me) Nutrisystem's *New You Revolution*

Featured Sponsor
This week starts something new for me, hurray me! I started the Nutrisystem Women’s program and I look forward to sharing with all of you how my first successful week went later this week. It's some pretty amazing stuff, so you'll want to stop back and read all about my new REVOLUTION.

In the meantime, Nutrisystem announced this week some VERY exciting news! Get started on the new Nutrisystem 28-day program at a new LOW price. This program includes gourmet frozen and pantry food along with a FREE additional week of pantry food, a gourmet money back guarantee AND free shipping. Really... you can't beat that!

Read on to learn more about this FABULOUS news from Nutrisystem!

HOORAY YOU! THE NUTRISYSTEM “NEW YOU REVOLUTION” BRINGS FRESH FROZEN FOOD TO ALL



Nutrisystem, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRI), the number one home delivery weight loss company, announced today that it is revamping its programs by incorporating its highest scoring, best tasting fresh frozen gourmet foods into all of its weight loss plans at the lowest price in the Company’s history. Part of Nutrisystem’s “Hooray You! New You Revolution” initiative is to empower and celebrate the success of its members, and with these significant changes it will make Nutrisystem® weight loss programs more accessible to a wider audience than ever before. The new Nutrisystem 28-day program will now include one-third frozen foods and two-thirds of pantry foods. Additionally, the program previously cost $399 per month and it will now cost $299, including an additional free week of pantry foods, a gourmet money back guarantee and free shipping. The New Nutrisystem® Select® Plan, available only in the Continental U.S., can be purchased by calling the Nutrisystem hotline 1-800-891-3215 or logging onto www.nutrisystem.com.

“The launch of this program is a groundbreaking accomplishment for our team. Nutrisystem has now found a way to do what no other weight loss company had been able to do – and that is to provide home delivery of fresh-frozen foods at the lowest price in the category,” said Joe Redling, Chairman and CEO of Nutrisystem. “We spent the better part of the last year conducting extensive category research and, of course, listening to our own customers. The message we heard was clear and simple – they want great tasting, high quality foods at a low price with no gimmicks and no complicated plans. Through this system wide revamp I’m truly pleased that we’ll now be providing just that.”

Added Redling, “This winter season, many weight loss companies are launching new programs. We applaud those who are working hard in the fight to combat the national obesity epidemic but warn consumers to be wary of the newest fads and magic pill solutions. At Nutrisystem, our program is backed by the science of the low Glycemic Index and at a low price. We believe the solution to a healthier lifestyle can be just that simple.”

The New Nutrisystem Select

“Nutrisystem Select” offers gourmet, fresh frozen cuisine to every customer, delivered right to their doorstep. As part of the revamp of its food programs, Nutrisystem is adding new items to its menu including: Garden Vegetable Omelet, Margherita Pizza, Roasted Vegetable Pizza, Asian Style Beef, Roasted Turkey Medallions, and Orange Crème Bar.

The New Nutrisystem Select program includes:
  • Free 24 hour, seven days a week phone access to nutrition support and counseling from the Nutrisystem team of registered dieticians as well as weight loss counselors
  • Free membership and access to online tools, tips and community support on Nutrisystem.com
  • Savings of hundreds of dollars compared to other weight loss programs
  • New – Gourmet Guarantee – money back if not completely satisfied
  • New – First seven days free
  • New – Transition plans to help keep you on track after reaching your goal weight
  • Available for Women, Men, Silver and people with type 2 diabetes who want to lose weight via Nutrisystem D
  • Nutrisystem is delivered right to the customer’s door, and free shipping is included with Auto Delivery – there’s never any center visits or calorie or carb counting required
“As the nation continues to spiral into an ever-worsening cycle of obesity, we’re taking action now that will make our weight loss programs more accessible to more Americans than ever before. When crafting this new program, we recognized that the barriers to dieting and the reasons why people fail often comes down to a matter of cost, convenience and eating foods that taste good,” said Dr. Bruce Daggy, Vice President of Research and Development of Nutrisystem. “Feedback from our members has always given the highest food ratings to our frozen foods, but cost has been a barrier. One of the most important aspects of our programs that will continue is our adherence to a balanced diet based on the low Glycemic Index. We recognize that weight loss and health is not just about counting calories. Our focus remains to support a sensible and sustainable approach to eating.”
