After 20 weeks, I’ve lost 26.2 lbs and am down to 215.8. I’m actually down 4 pounds from 2 weeks ago, due to some excessive fast-food eating! Overall, I’m happy to be around 215, though I was hoping to have more energy as I lost weight, but that doesn’t seem to be happening. Must be … Read More “Nutrisystem – Week 20” »
After 14 weeks, I’ve lost 25.6 lbs and am down to 216.4. It’s been 5 weeks of around 215, sometimes above a bit, sometimes under. I’ve loosened my regimen, and adding some low-cal snacks there and there (saltine crackers, popcorn, tootsie rolls), so it’s not surprising I’m plateauing again. I’m cool with that for now.
After 9 weeks, I’ve lost 27.4 lbs and am down to 214.6. Very cool that my 3-week plateau is over, and I’m past my goal of 215 lbs. I’m going to continue on and see how much more I can lose, but I’m also going to try experimenting with non-Nutrisystem food. My Mother-In-Law says I’ve … Read More “Nutrisystem – Week 9” »
After 8 weeks, I’ve lost 21.6 lbs and am down to 220.4 – I lost nothing this week. I’m not surprised I lost nothing because I gained a pound the day after Easter. This year for Easter at my mom’s, we had Popeyes Chicken. I had 5 chicken tenders and some mashed potatoes, which I … Read More “Nutrisystem – Week 8” »
After seven weeks, I’ve lost 21.6 lbs and am down to 220.4 – I lost 1.0 lbs this week. Anyone who has eaten with me knows that I am a fast eater.

After six weeks, I’ve lost 20.6 lbs and am down to 221.4 – but I gained 0.4 lbs this week. Well, last week I was wondering when I’d plateau, and it looks like the answer is, now. To be fair, I am slightly cheating more each day to the point where it apparently matters, so … Read More “Nutrisystem – Week 6” »
After five weeks, I’ve lost 21.0 lbs and am down to 221.0 – I lost 4.4 lbs this week. This is hilarious. Five weeks in and I’m already 6 lbs from my original target goal of 215 lbs.

After four weeks, I’ve lost 16.6 lbs and am down to 225.4 – I lost 1.4 lbs this week.

I calculated that a small pizza was 2,554 calories, but though I tried eating … Read More “Nutrisystem – Week 4” »
After three weeks, I’ve lost 14.8 lbs and am down to 227.2 – I lost 4.2 lbs this week. I’m happy to be back on track, after over-indulging last week (sorry, not sorry!).
