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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Week 1 Complete I Lost 3 Pounds!

Hey everybody.  I am on day eight of my Nutrisystem plan.  I feel as though I am really getting the hang of it now.  I figure by the end of next week it will have become a habit for me.  I have had my breakfast, protein shake and mid morning snack already today.  I feel great.  I am not tired.  I am not hungry.  I feel energetic.  I got up at four this morning and did Pilates.  That's my exercise of choice for now.  It really doesn't feel like exercise until the next day when my muscles are sore from working them out.  

I also walk my dog for about 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes in the evening.  This is great exercise for me as well, but it's not new, I have been doing that for year.  We are going further than we used to go though.  She needs the exercise and so do I.  On the weekends I am walking at least an hour, most of the time more than an hour.  I love getting healthy and getting moving.  I really have stuck to my eating plan and exercising plan for each day so far.  I am really motivated and will continue to do my best to lose weight for good!

I have lost a total of three pounds so far.  This is not a huge number but it's a healthy number and it's a step in the right direction.  They say we should lose at a rate of 1-2 pounds per week so that's what I want to do.  I am so happy with the three pound weight loss.

Nutrisystem Week 1 Update

I have nearly completed one week on the Nutrisystem plan.  I was going to wait until I was finished with seven full days to post, but I am so excited to share that I am posting now.  I started on December 29th.  So I am almost through my fifth day.  I feel so energetic.  My Mom has always said "fat calls to fat" by that she means that when you eat unhealthy you crave unhealthy foods.  I really see what she means now.  I am not craving the same garbage that I was used to eating.

On my first day I planned out my meals on the website.  I love how easy it is to do.  I just decided which Nutrisystem foods I was going to eat and what I was going to use for the smart carbs and power fuels.  I did a beautiful job of sticking to the plan.  I also did ten minutes of pilates and walked the dog for exercise.  I logged that also and logged my water intake.  I didn't stray from the plan at all.  I have to admit that I was really hungry when I got home from work but after dinner I was fine.

The second day I did the same thing.  I woke up and did some pilates.  Planned out my meals for the day and packed my breakfast and lunch.  When I got to work I realized that I forgot my food at home.  Since I am determined to do this I just used my smart carbs and power fuels that I already had planned and added one slice of vegetarian pizza for lunch.  I know that this was not the Nutrisystem plan I had but I did exercise portion control.  Instead of just giving up because I didn't have my Nutrisystem food.  I adjusted my plan and still ate small portions. 

Then the weekend came.  Weekends are harder for me to eat right but I have done an excellent job.  I walked over an hour each day this weekend.  We have had a three day weekend so today is included in that.  I have stuck to my meal plan as well.  I feel more energetic and I am loving this Nutrisystem plan.  I love how easy it is to plan my meals and then to stick to the plan.  I am very proud of myself and I will continue to stay on this path to becoming a slimmer, healthier me.

I have lost 1 pound already and can't wait to see how many more I can lose.  I will weigh again in two days to see what my weekly weight loss total is going to be.  I know it's going to be a step in the right direction.  I have a lot of weight to lose and I know it will take time.  This time I am going to give it my all.  I have been given an amazing opportunity and I am going to take it.  I really love how simple and easy Nutrisystem is to use.

I am a Nutrisystem Blogger - Let's Lose Together!

I just received word that I have been accepted as a Nutrisystem Blogger for the next four months.  I am so excited to get started on my weight loss journey.  I have been overweight most of my life.  The last time I remember not being overweight was almost 10 years ago.  The weight has been creeping up on me and it's time to do something about it.  I have heard wonderful things about Nutrisystem and I cannot wait to try it for myself. 

My food is ordered and once it arrives I will post again what I have and how my journey is going.  This is a fantastic time for me and you to get started losing weight.  I would love it if any of you wanted to share with me your journey as we work on this together.  Being overweight is almost all I have ever known.  But I would love to know what it's like to live life being a normal weight.  I know that everything is possible.  We can lose this weight and keep it off and Nutrisystem provides the tools needed to achieve our goals.
