NS Week Two COMPLETE
I just weighed in and am proud to announce that I'm down 2 lbs. this week for a grand total of 8.8 lbs. in 2 weeks with Nutrisystem! This week was my TOM week too so I'm estatic. I'm really enjoying this way of eating, KNOWING that I'm going to be getting results and not talking myself into an extra indulgence here and there. I'm being very strict on myself and its paying off. At the same time I know that I'll have to transition back to store-bought food but keep the same principles that NS teaches--portion size, plenty of veggies/fruit, dairy servings, etc. I've made me a small notebook with ideas for meals. I even found a cookbook that you can download online written by a lady that continued the program on her own without having bought the NS food. Its given me plenty of ideas.
If you think about it NS follows the same principles as WW but with more stringent guidelines. WW teaches the 8 Healthy Guidelines and NS gives you meal planning. The category I'm in right now I'm supposed to eat 24 points with WW. That's about equal to 1200-1400 calories. Its the same with NS. Some days my calorie count is 1200 and some days its 1400. I am eating better with NS though. With NS you're supposed to eat a salad with lunch EVERYDAY plus one with supper if you want it PLUS two veggies with supper. Dairy servings are mandatory too, where with WW sometimes I would eat them and sometimes I wouldn't.
Bottom line...Whatever program you choose to follow, IF you follow it you will get results. The following it part is the hard part...LOL
Way to go! I truly admire your stick-to-it-iveness!
