#NSNation Week Five Update - Lost Another Three Pounds - Total 13 Pounds GONE!

I am so happy to report that I have lost another three pounds in week five.  This is a total weight loss for me of thirteen pounds since I started this journey.  I stepped on the scale early in the week and was already down three pounds so I though maybe I would lose more like five pounds for the week, but no such luck.  Nutrisystem says 1-2 pounds per week is average so I am above average and I am moving in the right direction. 

I have been doing amazing with sticking to the plan and working out.  I can't believe how fast the time is going.  It seems like just yesterday I got the huge packages from Nutrisystem and began eating healthier and working out.  I am still trying to find my inner athlete.  I am trying a variety of workout dvds on weekdays early in the morning and then on the weekends I am walking. 

This morning I did a Yoga DVD and it was such a challenge.  My legs are sore right now as I type but I feel energized and awake.  My body is starting to wake up and get moving.  It's been years since I was active and I can't expect to just be in shape overnight.  These things take time.  I am feeling stronger each and every day that goes by.

I am so happy that I have started this journey with Nutrisystem.  I plan to continue until I am no longer considered overweight.  I have quite a ways to go, but I am making the right choice for me and choosing health.

Right now Nutrisystem is celebrating their 40th Anniversary.  They have a promotion going on that gives you 40% off your first delivery.  This is an amazing price to get started.  Also you can get a $30 Buddy Bucks coupon from me and use that as well.  This would really help get that first month's order delivered at a great price.  If you are interested in the Buddy Bucks just let me know and I'll send you the $30 off.

Nutrisystem Week 2 Update - Lost Another 2 Pounds!!!

I have completed two full weeks of the Nutrisystem plan.  I am on the Success plan so I have a protein shake in the morning with my Nutrisystem breakfast.  This morning I had the vanilla shake and the maple/brown sugar oatmeal.  I love how full I feel with so few calories.  A few hours later I have my mid-morning snack of non fat yogurt.  I have been eating Publix non-fat yogurt but I am going to go for the greek yogurt next time I go shopping because it's got so much more protein.  I really have developed a habit of following the eating plan and logging my meals on their website.

After two weeks, I am pleased to announce that I am down 5 whole pounds.  I have lost 5 pounds in two weeks.  I lost 2 pounds this week.  This is a wonderful step in the right direction.  Losing slowly but surely is fine with me.  I feel better.  I jump out of the bed in the morning ready to go and I feel that I look better as well.  I have to take a before photo soon for comparison to the after photo I take when my journey is over.

I have always thought about trying Nutrisystem and now that I am a #NSNation blogger, I have been given the opportunity of a lifetime to get healthy and lose weight.  I really recommend this program to anyone looking to lose weight and feel better.  I have not tried a food that I did not like.  I am eating more fruits and veggies than ever before and I am drinking a lot of water.  I have started working out in the morning before work and walking on the weekends.  This is a lifestyle change for me and I will continue with the skills I have learned for life.

R and D Diet Cookie Review & Giveaway Ends 12/15/11 at 7 PM EST

Review: 

R and D Diet Cookie company sent me two different kinds of their cookies to try.  I tried the Oatmeal Raisin and the Pumpkin cookies.  I have to say that these cookies are really good and not too sweet.  They do not have a lot of carbs in them so they do not leave you feeling hungry in a few minutes after eating one.  I used them to feel full longer and cut back on bad snacking habits.  I am really impressed with how long each cookie lasted once I ate one.

Hunger will ruin any diet every time!  That's their motto and I agree.  If I get too hungry then I tend to binge.  With the R and D Cookie Diet you will not get too hungry.  Just eat another cookie.  I really felt full and didn't get overly hungry while using these cookies as a meal replacement.

Finally, we have an affordable, natural food that is nutritional, filling, satisfying, tasty, and convenient that will elliminate hunger and allow us to take control of our diet so that we can lose weight rapidly!  This cookie and diet was named for the intensive Research and Development (R&D) project that created it.

The cookies are engineered to control hunger and cravings but they are also good for you.  They are packed with protein, fiber, and good carbs, low on sodium and are naturally low in cholesterol.  The oil I use is lower in saturated fat than conventional cooking and salad oils and is made from all natural soy, olive, and canola.  It's an excellent source of Omega-3's and Vitamin E.  I use a mixture of proteins from a number of sources including whey and soy.  Great developments have been made in the manufacture of proteins in the last decade and I remain diligent in using only the best and most effective proteins available.  The "secret" of the effectiveness of our cookies is the formulation of amino acids and proteins we use along with fiber and the absence of any ingredient that promotes hunger.  There is no animal product except for whey protein so the cookies are considered vegetarian.

You can enter to win a weeks supply of cookies in the giveaway below.  Thank you for reading my blog and participating.

Hollywood Cookie Diet Review & Giveaway Ends 8/24/11 at 7 PM EST

I received the Hollywood Cookie Diet to sample and review.  I got a box of each of the flavors.  I have tried all four and love each of them.  My favorite is the chocolate chip cookie.  I had one cookie for breakfast and then another for a mid morning snack.  These cookies are so good.  They do not leave me feeling hungry right after eating them.  They do not have too much sugar, so there's not a sugar crash after eating a Hollywood Cookie Diet cookie.  I love the Hollywood Cookie Diet.  I did not feel deprived.  I felt full and satisfied after eating a cookie.  They really are amazing cookies.

They have four different varieties to choose from.  I enjoyed all four of the varieties.  We all know that to lose weight we have to restrict calories, but that is easier said than done. When hunger strikes, diets fail. The Hollywood Cookie Diet works by satisfying your hunger and your sweet tooth. Simply eat up to four cookies a day, replacing breakfast and lunch, and eat a sensible dinner. Eat a cookie for breakfast, mid-morning snack, lunch and mid-afternoon snack. The Hollywood Cookie Diet works because it is a low calorie diet based on caloric restriction by meal replacement and portion control.

Eat a cookie for breakfast, mid-morning snack, lunch and mid-afternoon snack. The Hollywood Cookie Diet works because it is a low calorie diet based on caloric restriction by meal replacement and portion control.

Each cookie is individually wrapped for eating on-the-go. Take a tasty meal with you to the office, on the plane, on the road, to the gym, or anywhere else you go. Each cookie is also a good source of fiber and protein.

Based on the recommended 4 cookies per day (approximately 600 calories) and a light sensible dinner (approximately 800 calories), the average person who was consuming 3000 calories (or more) per day will lose approximately 15 pounds per month. Of course every individual is unique and results will vary based on many factors. An increase in exercise will help to increase weight loss.

This may be the last diet you will ever need. Use The Hollywood Cookie Diet for as long as you want until you achieve your weight loss goals. You can also use the The Hollywood Cookie Diet as a maintenance program. Always keep a cookie in your car, in your office, or anywhere you get hungry, so you can enjoy a satisfying treat and not gain weight.

I am very pleased with the quality of the product as well as the taste.  I know that this diet will be successful because I am cutting calories.  Cutting calories is the best way to lose weight.  Exercise is important too but cutting calories makes the pounds fall off.

The sponsor has offered to give a box of each of the varieties to a lucky winner from my blog.  If you would like to enter, see the giveaway below.
