I Lost 33 Pounds in 14 Weeks on Nutrisystem #NSNation

Do you like donuts?  I am having a chocolate frosted donut for breakfast today.  I love donuts and I love that with Nutrisystem I can have my donut for breakfast and still lose weight.  This morning I am having a vanilla protein shake with my donut.  It's surprisingly filling and good for me too.  There is fiber and protein to hold me over until I eat again.  

Chocolate Frosted Donut

Our Chocolate Frosted Donut captures the taste of a bakery–fresh,old-fashioned donut—it's covered with rich, chocolatey icing, and makes for the perfect breakfast indulgence. So skip the trip to the donut shop—this treat is just as tasty, and optimized for your weight loss program.

While eating food that tastes great I have lost 33 pounds in 14 weeks.  I am so happy that I have been given the opportunity to do review Nutrisystem for my blog.  I love it and I even got my sister to sign up.  My sister lost 19 pounds in her first month.  She loves it too and we both are excited to see how far we will go with this program.

31 Pounds Lost in 13 Weeks on Nutrisystem #NSNation

I just completed week 13 and I lost another 2 pounds for a total of 31 pounds since I started my journey with Nutrisystem.  I have found that this is a plan that I like to follow and it works.  I am really enjoying buying smaller clothes and getting compliments about my weight loss.  It took a while for me to notice a difference but I am starting to really feel smaller.  I want to continue to lose weight for many months to come.

Once I reach my goal weight I can still use Nutrisystem to help me maintain the weight that is healthy for me.  I really haven't ever been in a healthy weight in as long as I can remember.  I have always been overweight and I have made the decision to change that for the rest of my life.  It's not easy to resist the temptations of foods that aren't healthy for me, but I can do it with the knowledge that it will help me to feel better and look better too.  

I am so happy that I discovered Nutrisystem as a way for me to lose weight.  The program is exactly what I need.  I love having everything planned out for me and also have the choice of the add ins.  I can eat what I want each day.  I love the variety and I love feeling better and looking better.

If you would like to join Nutrisystem I can send you buddy bucks for $30 off your first order, just send me an email and I'll have the buddy bucks sent to you.

Body Media CORE Armband Review and 15% off Coupon Code

I received a Body Media CORE Armband to review.  I have used this armband for the past two weeks.  I wear it all day and all night.  I only take it off to sync it and see how many calories I burned and how long I slept.  This armband is amazing.  I really thought I was sleeping more until I got this armband and it informed me that my sleep is lacking.  I needed more sleep, so now I am sleeping as much as possible and really trying to be still so that I am not up and down all night like I was in the past.

• Total calories burned
• Total steps taken

I am really enjoying knowing how many calories I burn throughout the day and then I input the calories that I consume and see how I am doing for each and every day.  This has really seemed to help me get my weight loss moving in the right direction.  It had slowed down considerably and now I am losing better again.

29 Pounds Lost in 3 Months on Nutrisystem #NSNation

I was so happy when I stepped on the scale to learn that this week I lost another 4 pounds.  That's a total of 29 pounds in 3 months.  I am super stoked about this week.  I was starting to think that I wouldn't hit 10 pounds for the month and wham, I lost 10 pounds this month.  I really feel great.  Everyone is noticing the weight loss and I am shouting from the rooftops that Nutrisystem works.  It's the best plan for me.  Everything is so easy for me to do.  I am exercising more and more with each week that passes.  I am excited to step on the scale and see what I have accomplished for the week.

You can lose weight.  You can get your body healthy again.  I have a lot more weight to lose but right now I am lighter than I have been in 8 years.  I didn't know how much I was limiting myself by being overweight.  I am able to walk with my husband for hours now.  I couldn't do that before I started Nutrisystem.  I am able to do aerobics for 30-45 minutes and I can also do pilates or yoga.  Everything is so much fun for me.  It's not easy but it's totally worth it. 

If you are thinking about it, I suggest you just get started now.  The sooner you start the closer you will be to goal.  I am really excited about losing weight and I am enjoying every minute of it.  Sometimes I wonder why it took me so long to take hold of my life.  But I wasn't ready before now, you have to be ready.  You can't do it for anyone but yourself.  You have to make up your mind and then make the choices to take care of yourself.  You are worth it.  I can send you $30 off your first order if you just email me or leave me a message with your email address.

#NSNation Week 11 Update - I Have Lost 25 Pounds on Nutrisystem!

This past 11 weeks have flown by.  I really cannot believe that I have been Nutrisystem that long.  It's been a wonderful journey so far and I am so happy to be a part of the Nutrisystem family of bloggers #NSNation.  It's really been fun.  I love to check how much weight I have lost.  Getting on the scale is now a good thing for me when in the past I hated the scale and avoided it at every cost.

Nutrisystem is changing my life for the better and I am so happy.  I feel very energetic.  I look forward to each day with a new enthusiasm.  The combination of exercise and eating healthier can really help your overall health and energy levels on a daily basis.  I really hope that anyone looking to lose weight would give it a try.  It's so convenient and easy to do the Nutrisystem plan.  I always have food with me for my meals so I am saving money that I would have been spending on getting lunch every work day.  I used to spend $10-15 a day on lunch during the work week.

I am so happy to be down 25 pounds in 11 weeks.  This is just over 2 pounds a week which is a wonderful weight loss.  I am stronger and healthier and I love it!

If you would like to save $30 on your first Nutrisystem order just email me or let me know and I'll send the $30 off to you.

Bob Harper Beginner's Weight Loss Transformation DVD Review & Giveaway Ends 3/30/12 at 7 PM EST

I recieved Bob Harper Beginner's Weight Loss Transformation DVD from Collage Video to review.  I did this workout once last week and again this morning.  WOW what a workout.  I am still considered a beginner even though I have been working out daily since around the first of the year.  This workout had me sweating from head to toe.  I haven't sweated this much in a long time.  The first time I did the DVD I was too tired to do the 10 minute ab workout after the 45 minute main workout.  I barely got through the whole DVD this morning.  I am worn out.  I can't wait to continue to use this on a weekly basis until I get up to speed.

Certified instructor description: The first workout is a no-nonsense aero/tone interval program for "anyone who hasn't worked out in a long time." It has a huge variety of fat-burning and body-sculpting moves led by a tough-but-supportive instructor ("all I'm asking is: do the best you can"). Throughout, Bob emphasizes clear cuing and novice-level teaching (e.g. the name of each exercise is displayed on screen). But he also knows that "easy" doesn't get real results. So this program includes some challenging routines, often introduced at a slower pace or with easier options (e.g. normal jumping jacks and "low impact jacks"). The second program is an exceptionally varied series of abdominal floorwork exercises. Requires 2 to 5 lb. dumbbells.

Rise to the challenge and reveal you greatest physique. Whether this is your first time working out or it’s just been a while, now is the time to drop pounds and renovate your body to its best form! Push yourself harder and punch-up your heart rate to annihilate calories, attack fat and reconstruct your body completely. Beginner’s Weight Loss Transformation uses weights and body resistance to perfect your form for optimal weight loss and muscle-toning performance. My Trainer Bob leads you through each dynamic movement to activate all muscle groups keeping you in constant motion for a maximum cardio-heightening, fat-blasting workout. Learn how to engage your core from start to finish and compress each muscle movement for results you can see and feel. Achieve this supreme beginner workout, and accomplish your fitness goals.

WORKOUT 1: BEGINNER’S WEIGHT LOSS TRANSFORMATION – 46 minutes of non-stop muscle-building drills will pump your heart rate and burn fat for a complete beginner’s body workout. Leave excess pounds and calories in the dust as you race through Bob’s dynamic combinations, focusing on key muscle groups and cardiovascular conditioning. Feel the energy surge through your muscles as they obliterate fat and uncover a leaner, stronger, you.

WORKOUT 2: 10-MINUTE BEGINNER ABS – Get in, and get out, with this hard-driving abdominal workout. Challenge your endurance and range of motion with an expedited variety of ab-shredding maneuvers to sharpen your core and benefit your entire body.

Week 10 Update #NSNation I Lost 1 More Pound For A Total of 23!

I have completed a total of ten weeks on the Nutrisystem plan.  I weighed in this week at one more pound lost which is great.  Nutrisystem tells you to expect to lose 1-2 pounds per week.  I am right on track with that, so I am doing great.  I have been sticking to the plan almost 100%.  I did eat two desserts the other night, which is not good.  I had the caramel sundae and then I had the ice cream sandwich.  I know that's not following the plan and I will do what I can to ensure that I do not make that mistake again.  That's probably part of the reason that I only lost one pound this week.  I felt guilty after I did it and I will have to not eat dessert one day because I will be a dessert short. 

I continue to feel better each and every day that I am on the Nutrisystem plan.  I love that I keep losing weight with each day that goes by.  I am working toward a goal of weightloss and Nutrisystem will help me to reach my goal.  I have lost a total of 23 pounds since I started with the Nutrisystem plan.  I am very proud of myself and happy with my progress.  I didn't gain all this weight overnight and I will not lose it overnight either.  As long as I am moving in the right direction, I am pleased with my success.

You can join Nutrisystem and start to feel healthier and better about yourself too.  I can send you a Buddy Bucks Certificate if you want to save $30 on your first order, just leave a comment with your email address or email me and I'll send it right away.

Week Nine Update - 22 Pounds Down! #NSNation

I have completed nine weeks on the Nutrisystem program.  I have lost a total of 22 pounds in nine weeks.  I feel wonderful!  I am very proud of myself and I am learning to be healthier day by day.  This past week was extremely stressful for me.  I have been struggling at work with some issues and they have really had me in turmoil.  I am happy to say that I followed my Nutrisystem plan despite the stress.  I didn't use the stress as an excuse to overeat or make poor food choices.  I just keep doing what I have been doing for the past 9 weeks. 

I find the Nutrisystem plan to be really easy for me to follow.  I actually love the structure of it.  It totally takes the guesswork out of meal times for me.  I used to spend so much time deciding what I would have to eat.  Now I decide in the morning before I leave for work and pack my breakfast and lunch and go.  I save a lot of time this way and I am saving money as well.  I used to spend $10 a day on lunch.  Not only is that bad on my pocket book but it's also hard on my waist line. 

I am so pleased with Nutrisystem and happy to be in the #NSNation of bloggers.  This is the best review I have done to date because it's changing my life for the better.

If you would like to join Nutrisystem I can email you a coupon code for $30 off.  It's called Buddy Bucks.  You will save that $30 off your first order.  Just email me if you would like a coupon code.

Week Eight Update - Total Pounds Lost 19!!!!

I have finished my eighth week on Nutrisystem.  I have lost a total of 19 pounds.  I am feeling energized and so proud of myself for my accomplishment so far.  This is just the beginning.  I was hoping to drop 10 pounds a month and I'm pretty close to my personal goal.  As with any diet program 1-2 pounds per week is an average weight loss goal for healthy weight loss.  So I doing well above average.  I have stuck to this longer than anything else I have ever tried. 

I am really happy with Nutrisystem.  I love the foods and I love the flexibility.  I am able to move the food around to fit my needs each day.  I like having my lunch power fuel later in the afternoon for a snack and that's totally okay.  I just make sure that I eat everything I have to eat throughout the day.  The order doesn't really matter.  I have been logging my food each day and my exercise.  I can really tell a difference in my physical fitness from working out every day for the past two months. 

I am so happy to be a part of #NSNation and I am thankful for this opportunity.  Even when my review is over I will continue with Nutrisystem.  I love being a part of the Nutrisystem family and I can't wait to be another Nutrisystem SUCCESS story!  I know that I will be successful and that this is the right way for me to achieve my goals.

If you want to try out Nutrisystem leave a comment or email me and I'll send you a $30 off coupon for your first order.

Week Seven Update - #NSNation 16 Pounds Lost

I am so happy to tell you that I lost another pound this week.  At first I was disappointed that it was only one pound lost but I have come to the conclusion that one pound lost is better than none.  I have had a wonderful week.  I ran into TJ Maxx one day on my lunch break and I found a pair of Calvin Klein Jeans that I really liked so I tried them on.  They were a size smaller than the smallest jeans I have been wearing so I wasn't sure that they were going to fit.  Also they are a slim fit which has always been hard for me to get even in the current size I wear.  As soon as I pulled them on I was so excited.  They fit, actually they are sort of loose.  At this rate of weight loss I will not be wearing them long.

Here's a picture of the jeans from their website.  They are cute aren't they?  Granted I am in the plus sizes still but they do look good on me if I do say so myself.  I feel great and I look great too.  Nutrisystem is really the perfect plan for me.  I enjoy the convenience.  I have been steadily losing weight and feeling better with each and every day that goes by.  It's hard to believe that I have been consistently following the plan for almost two full months.  This has got to be a record for me when it comes to eating healthy and working out daily.  I am still going strong and it's actually not hard for me to resist food temptations any more.

I made it through Valentine's Day without indulging in anything that is not on my plan.  That is a wonderful thing.  I haven't been weak or starving either.  I feel energetic and alive.  I feel as though I can do anything I put my mind to.  The food is good.  I get a lot more fruits and vegetables than I was eating before I started and I am losing weight.  What more can you ask for in a healthy living lifestyle plan?  If you want to try out Nutrisystem leave a comment or email me and I'll send you a $30 off coupon for your first order.

#NSNation Week Six Update - 2 Pounds Lost for a Total of 15

I cannot believe that I have been doing Nutrisystem for six weeks now.  Today is the first day of my 7th week on Nutrisystem.  I feel like a new woman.  I have lost a total of fifteen pounds since I started on 12/29/11.  I have been active for at least 30 minutes each and every day since I began.  I feel strong and healthy for the first time in a really long time.

This morning I had the ham and cheese omelet and vanilla protein shake for breakfast.  They are both delicious.  After I eat I log the food in the online food log on their website.  I keep track of every thing that I put into my mouth. 

Doesn't this look good:?  It's easy to prepare also, just heat in the microwave for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes and enjoy! 

Ham and Cheese Omelet

Treat yourself to a breakfast classic! This tender, fluffy omelet is generously filled with a perfect blend of smoky ham and a combination of Swiss and creamy cheddar cheese. Your omelet is ready in just minutes in the microwave, or it can be prepared in a conventional oven.

I really enjoy this program and am excited about the results of next weeks weigh in.  I am proud of myself for sticking to it and doing the work to get the results.  Nutrisystem really has it all planned out and I just have to do the plan and the plan works.  You can count on them they took the guess work out for those of us who have trouble figuring out what to eat on our own.

If you would like to try Nutrisystem there is a Buddy Bucks program where you can save $30 on your first order.  Also they have a 40th Anniversary special right now with 40% off your first order.  Combined this would be a tremendous savings.  If you want the $30 off coupon just let me know what email address to send it to and I'll get one to you right away.

#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 4 Update - 10 Pounds Lighter!

This is the first day of my second month of Nutrisystem.  I weighed in this morning at 10 pounds lighter than the day I started.  I am very happy with that number and I cannot wait to see where I am next week.  Nutrisystem works.  I have to admit that I was a little skeptical at first, but after doing the plan for the past month, I can tell you that it works.  I feel so much more energetic.  I got up this morning at 4 am to do my workout.  I did an exercise dvd that lasted 50 minutes.  This is all very new to me.  A month ago I started this journey and now it has become habit for me.  I am so thankful to have been given this opportunity.

If you need to lose weight Nutrisystem is a great way to get the weight off and keep it off.  It teaches you portion control.  You learn to include fruits and vegetables in your diet which are so healthy for you.  I really do recommend this plan to anyone looking to lose weight.  I have a lot of weight to lose and it's coming off, week by week.  You can lose weight too, just give it a shot.  Believe me you will not regret the decision to take care of yourself.

Nutrisystem Week 3 Update - 8 Pounds Lost #NSNation

Today is a good day.  I feel amazing.  I am full of energy.  Today is the first day of week four.  I weighed in this morning and I am down a total of eight pounds.  That's three more pounds for week three.  So week one was a loss of three pounds, week two was two pounds lost and week three is down three more pounds.  I am so proud of myself.  I am working the plan and the plan is working for me.  Nutrisystem is a wonderful way to lose weight and start to feel good about the choices you make for your life again. 

I haven't ever done anything like Nutrisystem before.  I have been overweight almost my entire life.  I can't think of a time when I didn't feel like I was bigger than everyone else.  I am really enjoying my new active lifestyle.  I jump out of bed in the morning and do an exercise DVD.  Then I go to work.  At work I have my planned meals and I am not hungry between meals.  It seems that on Nutrisystem I am eating most of the time.  There are so many things to eat each day on the Nutrisystem plan.

Nutrisystem sends you the breakfast, protein shake, lunch, dinner and dessert.  On top of that you add four servings of vegetables a day and two power fuels and two smart carbs each day.  Their website gives you a list of the smart carbs and the power fuels.  I have been using non-fat yogurt and string cheese for my power fuels, but the list is long and I may change it up.  My smart carbs tend to be fruit.  As you can see you get to eat a lot of food.  It actually seems as though I am eating more but they are lower calories foods than I was choosing to eat before.

I wrote an article for Weight Loss Triumph where I review my year-long Nutrisystem journey: http://www.weightlosstriumph.com/nutrisystem-healthy-meals-delivered-to-your-door.html

This is a lifestyle change and not a diet.  I am fairly sure that after three weeks it has become habit for me to eat this way and to exercise daily.  Yesterday, at work, my boss brought in hot donuts and I resisted the urge to have one even though they were on my file cabinet all day.  I could smell them and I didn't have one like I would have in the past.  I am very proud of myself.  You can do this too, the hardest part is making up your mind to live a healthier lifestyle.

Want to lose weight and get healthy on Nutrisystem? Join today by calling 1-888-853-4689 or by visiting http://www.nutrisystem.com/nsblog.

FTC Disclosure: Nutrisystem is providing their program to me at no charge in exchange for my participation in the program and review of the program.

Collage Video - Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition Workout DVD Review & Giveaway

Collage Video has an amazing selection of exercise videos.  I received Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition Workout to review and they have also offered one to giveaway.  I tried the dvd this morning and it was very simple to do.  I am totally amazed at how easy it seemed and then how sore I am now.  This workout is amazing.  I have only done the first 2 parts.  I hope to do the 3rd part later this week.

Certified instructor description: Three non-intimidating weight-loss workouts led by a very supportive instructor. You'll be exercising with contestants from the hit TV show — "real people" who have already lost up to 200 pounds (but are still overweight, and enthusiastically working to slim down a little more). Everything is designed for the novice exerciser. The first workout is an anyone-can-do-it toning series. The second program adds some simple aerobics while the third workout is slightly more challenging. The sequencing within each workout is also beginner-friendly -- you'll start with basic moves and then confidently advance to more challenging variations. Chris Powell includes level options and lots of understanding encouragement ("just work at your own pace"). ©2011. DVD has: Music only option, Wide screen, Close captions, Region 1.

This is really a non intimidating workout.  It's highly effective for those of us who have a lot of weight to lose and are new to working out.  I will use this DVD on a regular basis to get stronger and smaller.

Vitalicious 50-Calorie Fudgy Chocolate Mini VitaCakes Review & Giveaway Ends 1/27/12 at 7 PM EST

Vitalicious has just launched a 50 Calorie Brownie just in time for New Year Resolutions.  I was given the opportunity to sample these and they are also offering a giveaway for my blog followers.  I received these brownies last week and immediately opened them up and tried one.  It was really moist and it tasted delicious.  I have tried the vita-tops and the original brownies in the past, so I knew that I would love these as well.  These are so good and only 50 calories.  I am so happy to have a found a nice treat that I can feel good about eating.

With 2g of protein, 6g of fiber, 14g of carbs, only 1g of fat plus 15 vitamins and minerals, the all-natural Fudgy Chocolate Mini VitaCakes are loaded with as much nutrition as they are with gooey chocolate goodness. VitaCakes are made from all-natural ingredients and whole grains without any artificial coloring or preservatives of any kind. Plus, it only takes 7 minutes to “walk off” the 50 calories contained in each Mini VitaCake.[1]

“It’s the ultimate ‘have your cake and eat it, too’,” says Aryeh Hecht, founder and president of Vitalicious. “Since these new VitaCakes will satisfy your craving for chocolate and leave you feeling full, any time is now the perfect time to indulge, without the guilt.”

Fudgy Chocolate Mini VitaCakes are now available exclusively for purchase online at www.vitalicious.com and are $21.00 for a 24-pack or $34.99 for a specially discounted 48-pack. For more information, please visit www.vitalicious.com.
