I Lost 72 Pounds in 32 Weeks on Nutrisystem #NSNation

I have lost another 2 pounds this past week for a total of 72 pounds in 32 weeks on Nutrisystem.  I feel amazing.  I am able to wear smaller clothes now than I have worn in years.  I have energy to wake up early and keep going all day long.  I get up at 4 or 4:30 in the morning and go strong until I go to bed around 10 pm.  

I love my morning workouts.  They get me feeling awake and ready to face the daily challenges at work.  Work used to have me feeling exhausted from the sitting all day.  Now I have so much energy.  I want to keep this feeling forever.  I love being full of life and so proud of myself too.

Nutrisystem is the best thing I have ever done for myself.  I deserve to take good care of my body and Nutrisystem is the program that works for me to do that.  I love the variety of foods to choose from and that I feel as though I am not denying myself anything to lose weight.  I am eating a lot each day and steadily seeing the numbers on the scale drop.  I am 8 pounds away from my original goal and 28 pounds from my ultimate goal.  With Nutrisystem I know that I will reach it and stay there for the rest of my life.

I am so happy and doing the happy dance all the time now.  Want to join me in doing the happy dance?  You can save $30 on your first order with Buddy Bucks.  Send me your email address and I'll send you the Buddy Bucks so you can get started today!

I Lost 70 Pounds In 31 Weeks On Nutrisystem #NSNation

Week 31 done and another 2 pounds gone.  I can't believe it.  If you told me when I started that I could come this far in such a short period of time, I wouldn't have believed it.  I have done this and I am so proud of myself.  I am not finished yet.  I have 30 more pounds to lose before I get to my goal.  When I started out I set a goal of 80 pounds total but now that I am this far in I have decided to go for the 100 pounds!  I will be within the normal weight range with 10 more pounds lost but I want to get even lower than that to the lower end of the normal weight range!  I want to be thin and stay thin for the rest of my life!


Nutrisystem is awesome!  I really thought it was going to be harder than this.  I do not have a hard time saying no to tempting foods.  I get my daily dessert to look forward to and with things like ice cream sandwiches, red velvet whoopie pies, chocolate cheesecake, who can complain?  I save my dessert until right before bed and enjoy each and every bite of it.  It's one last indulgence for the day before I hit the sack.




I told you earlier that my sister started Nutrisystem some months back and she is still steadily losing as well.  It really does work.  The sooner you start the sooner you can be at your goal and start living life in maintenance.  This morning as I packed my breakfast and lunch for the day I took a moment to reflect and pat myself on the back for doing an amazing job.  I follow the plan and the plan works giving me the wonderful results that I want!

Bob Harper's Kettlebell Cardio Shred Review & Giveaway Ends 8/14/12 at 7 PM EST

I love Bob Harper from The Biggest Loser and I recently got some kettlebells.  I was so excited when Collage Video offered Bob Harper's Kettlebell Cardio Shred DVD for me to review.  This is a 53 minute workout.  It's very difficult for me to complete the entire workout but I am able to do it and I love it.  What a great workout!  I am getting so strong and fit.  Working out is so wonderful and I love to try new things.

Bob goes from Kettlebell moves to other moves throughout the whole workout.  I really enjoy the pace of the video as well as the variety of moves.  Bob always keeps me motivated and wanting to do more and more each day that I workout with him.

Certified instructor description: A fat-burning-focused aero/tone interval program led by a “passionate and friendly” trainer. The kettlebell makes the aerobics more intense and the toning more effective (because you have to control the bell’s momentum). Like the ideal personal trainer, Bob emphasizes safety and effectiveness. He begins by explaining the move and demonstrating the correct form. Then, he puts down the kettlebell and focuses on the exerciser (combining friendly motivation with helpful tips on technique). Features a wide range of kettlebell classics — from “halos” and “weaves” to “suitcase swings” and “windmills” (plus some non-kettlebell exercises).
