Hi, I jusy recieved my first NS package and I am going to start Monday. I would like to have a friend to talk to also, I need someone support also. So If you wanna talk.

I just started day 1.  I can't say I feel skinnier yet, but I can't wait to have that feeling.  I'll be here and I hope you will too.  

Hi, I am on day 8 and would also like a friend to talk to, I am not quite sure yet how to move around the web site, or how to talk directly with other NS women so if you know how, I would love to know.  Pam

Thanks to all that answered and I will try and add you to my friends list when I get home.  This site is so weird on my work puter.  I am also still trying to figure out how to do all of this stuff so I too can use any helpful tips to make this part easier.  Cutting back on calaries seems easier than blogging. lol

I am also starting but on Sunday.. enough is enough..my son has lost 30 pounds on NS he has been on it about 3mos and was off one week when he went on vacation but he reigned himself back in.. he looks great.. I need the support.. its scarey as I want to do this once and for all!
hope to be in touch

Hi Marilene -I'm Marlene! How's that for commonality!  (Mar861)
I too just joined the program 3 days ago and am doing just great with the program so far...I think the biggest thing is that we all stay positive and try to be a friend to each other to help out along the journey!   My personal goal is to drop 50 "fluffy" pounds that have caught up with me along the way over the past 8 yrs or so...gradually sneaking up on me.   I'll be 46 next month and am just plain tried of not being in good shape.   Would love to have a couple of buddies out there in NS land that we can track progress with together and even have a friendly sense of accountability to check in with progress, celebrate each other's success and help to pick up morale when buddies need it.....feel free to drop a line anytime and I'll do the same!!!
Best of luck -

I need friends too lol I just started on july 4th and I had my first weigh in yesterday and lost 6 lbs without exercising I do need some motivation to start exercising, I also need to lose in the 60 weight range 63 lbs to get to my goal.

I've been on program since March 20, and have only lost 10 pounds.  I work out constantly, but my husband won't stop with the eating out.  It's wreeking havoc on my diet.  Every day I start anew and with focus and I work out daily, except Sundays or unless I'm feeling ill.  I know I can say NO, but it is so hard!!!  I would like to have some buddies to share thoughts and opinions with too.  :)  Best Wishes Ladies and I hope your dreams come true!

Today was the first day for me.  The scrambled eggs were not that great this morning but I'm determined to lose the weight, so I ate them anyway.  I did really good today.  I ate everything just like the plan said and even drank some extra water.  I can tell it will be difficult though.  My husband loves to eat junk food and is always baking brownies and stuff.  He and my son comment on how nasty my NS food looks, so I guess I'll need support from you guys!! About 4 years ago I lost 65 lbs.  I lost the weight by eating yogurt and goldfish, mostly.  I remarried a year ago and have put on 30lbs.  I've got to get back on track! Good luck to you all, losing weight is very difficult but can be done if you put your mind to it!

DMBSA...I couldn't find you when I search to add you to my friends.  Try adding me to your list.
Marilene

Hi... I am new to NS.. got my first week behind me now..  I lost 7.5 lbs... yea!!! I to am trying to loose over 60 lbs.. add me to your friends list.. I would also love to have a friend...
be blessed!!
Debbie

Hi,

My name is David and I have been on the program for about three weeks. I have lost about 8 pounds. Not sure if that is good or not. Anyway, I am having difficulty sticking with the program. I am confused by all this food not in the boxes you are supposed to eat.

I would appreciate anyone looking for a Nutra Friend getting in touch with me. I believe that having support is important especially when you are doing a program like this. I will try to be encouraging as well.

Thanks

David

HI! My name is Jill and I started NS in January of this year. I had 150 pounds to lose at my start and have lost 79 so far, only 71 to go! Believe me, this program is TOTALLY DOABLE! I had tried EVERYTHING to lose weight and NOTHING worked until this plan. I KNOW if I hadn't joined that I would NEVER be this much lighter at this point. Check out my page or my blog. I have several threads under my blog with NS Helpful hints. It's under the username steamin. You are a beautiful lady and WILL do this. I would love to be your friend. Contact me anytime you need encouragement. We can do this together!

Hi,

I just started day 1 today and would like to have someone to talk to and be there for anyone needing a shoulder to lean on.  I'm trying to loose 79 pounds and need all the help that I can get get.  Feel free to talk to me

Hello again Marilene2~ E-mail me. I have been waiting to hear from you and wondering how you are doing?

Thanks

I am on day 5 and it feels wonderful.  I have noticed an increase in my energy and how my eating habits are changing.
It is still hard to drive by fast food restaurants without stopping, but I'm doing it! I'm moving on to a better me and I have to stay focused for that reason.
Write me sometime and good luck with your fight!

Hi, my name is Ann and I am on my 3rd day of the program. I am also looking for friends on here as well. I am not getting much support from people at work, they are constantly telling me how bad the food looks and smells and then say things like we are going to arby's, eating fried chicken, etc. I also work part time at a steakhouse and last night was my first night working while on the diet and it was HARD!!! I didn't cheat though.
You can add me to your friends list.
Good luck and write me sometime, we can share stories.
Ann

I am also on my 3rd day. I am also looking for friends. Add me to your list. Maybe we can start a newbie club of our own. think of a cute name, we all started on 8/6/08. What do you think?

Hi Marilene! Today is day three for me.  I'm so excited about the program.  I have 50 lbs to lose. I
really like the idea of having all of the support. I wish you lost of success along the journey.  We can do it!

HI THERE, IM VERY VERY NEW TO NS, I HAVENT EVEN RECEIVED MY FOOD YET.  IM NEEDING SUPPORT AND HELP GETTING AROUND THE WEBSITE.  CAN I PLEASE BE ADDED AS YOUR FRIEND?   I HOPE THIS REACHES YOU, IM NOT SURE IF IM DOING THIS RIGHT.  I HOPE IT DOESNT END UP IN CYBERSPACE.  PLEASE RESPOND ASAP, THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK REACHING YOUR GOALS.

Hey there! I am also very new and have NO IDEA how to find friends and so on. I would love to have NS friends but I do not understand this whole thing! Help!

Hi! I am day 11. I have lost 6 lbs. I have not exercised, but I am following the diet very well.I have not been as hungry as with other diets.  I am 56 years old. Seems like it is much harder for the weight to come off. I do lead a busy life. Not like I just sit around all day. Would love to hear from other people my age and how it is going for them.

Hey, I too am looking for friends while I venture on this new loss plan....how are you doing and how much have you lost so far..what has been you most difficult challenge so far....you can see I have lots of questions to those who are succeeding....I want to learn how to lose....

Hi, I am looking for friends  too.  I am starting as soon as my food arrives. How hard is this to stick to?  How much other food do you eat besides the NS food? I don't really understand this whole Blog thing but if someone could help me out - I am used to instant message and email.  I want this to work and want to be able to talk to people who understand what i am going through..

All of you can and will do it! if you stick to it, and atleast walk everyday-30 minutes....You'll do great. i've been on NS since Nov. 16, 07. I lost 96 pounds! Need a boost or advice on any food, or doctor up and meals, shoot me an email, I'll be glad to help you!

I would love to be your Friend!  Just started on Thursday- I know I know- weird day to start but I was too exited too wait.  I have 70lbs to lose and would love to give and get support.  Please add me too!

i am new to the program, just started this week and I would love to have a friend.  I have about 45 pounds to lose, well probably more but I would be so happy if i lost 45.  Please add me to your friends.  Thanks, Michelle Harkavy, Memphis, TN

I just signed up today and have not yet received my food (obviously).  I do not know what to expect.  I am looking to loose about 25 pounds.  I am concerned that it is not going to "melt" off as quickly because everyone is telling me I don't have that much to loose so it will take longer.  Are there any people here that have found it takes longer if you are only looking to loose 25-30 pounds?

COUNT ME IN TOO!!! =) I could use a friend as well to compare notes with and support. I  just don't find it outside of here. I started 10 days ago and have lost 10 pounds which was encouraging in itself but the last few days nada. I still  have 30 pounds to reach my goal. It just sounds so far away. I was happy with it till someone from work told me it was just water weight. That felt like a slap in the face. I don't believe it but it still bummed me.

betrme, don't let them get you down.  I don't care if it is water or chocolate-10 pounds is 10 pounds!!

What a great site.  Look at all the support lent here.  NS is a great plan and has a great site with great people.

You'll do great!

I'd love to be your friend!  Let me tell you that the NS support that the other members give you is outstanding.  I am finishing up my 3rd week, and I am down 6 pounds...and that's with a fair, a wedding, and my brother's birthday all in there.  I hope to lose 30 pounds.  I am getting married in November, as well...so I have a lot to look forward to in the next few months!

Keep in touch, and good luck!  We're all here for you.

Ok-yesterday was my first day on NS and I have got to say-the food has not been good so far.  I am also feeling a little nervous that it seems I have to eat the same things over and over again and that is going to get real old (I am a very picky eater).  They really do not give you a lot of other foods you can eat with the NS entrees-what do you all do to add a little variety? HELP-I don't know if I can do this-I am thinking the way everyone is losing weight is because the foods is so bad that you dont eat it!

oh no - don't say that Barbados1
   I just signed up for the program and the one thing I wasn't sure of is how the food tastes.  I did just read a blog that said the dinner they ate was so good. What about adding spices or lemon juice to certain things? Just a thought

I went into the recipe section and have pulled off some recipes-I think that is the only way I will be able to do this.  It is not so much the taste of the foods (ok yes it is) but also eating the same things over and over again.  I followed weight watchers for so long and stopped following it because I was eating the same things over and over again and it was just dull!  I am on day 3 and I really don't think I am losing anything like everyone else says they have.  I refuse to weigh myself-I base my loss on if my clothes fit better or not!!  I will keep doing this but if after a month I don't see any results, I will have to revaluate the situation again!  Thank you for your help and any feedback is appreciated for what people have done to just stay focused!

I just received my first shipment today while I was at work.  I'd love to have someone to share my experiences with!

I'm on day three and would love to have someone to exchange e-mails with. I'm 57, female teach school and need to lose 65 plus. Don't know how to resopd to these blogs

Anyone wanting to exchange e-mails about progress ( I'm new) please e-mail me at jlmboone@instrucion.com

Hi Marilene - Marilyn here.  I am waiting for my 1st package in anticipation.  I also have around 60 lbs to lose and I have waited for too long to do so.  I would love to have you for a friend..  I am just not sure yet how to use these blogs, boards, etc.  Let's do it together..
Marilyn

Hi Have been on two Months first Months lost 11 lbs, Need to stick to it  and I know I will lose weight as it works I have 30 more to lose

I just placed my first order!  I have been debating.  I travel a lot and work a lot, so I am not sure how well I can stick to it, but I figure when I am home, I can eat the NS meals for breakfast and dinner instead of eating nothing or something bad for me (pizza, fast food.)  My biggest problem when I do cook is portion control, so I figure having the preplanned meals will help me.  I'd like to lose about 25 lbs to start but to be in really great shape, maybe another 10 lbs.  Good luck to all.  

Hello everyone!  I am so new to this that I just now ordered my NS package!  Very nervous and hoping to "meet" new friends via internet!  I need all the help and support I can get as I reached this unfortunate point because of so much stress and sadness in the past four years.  I just need to get control and learn to love life again!!!  I'm 57, work in a school library and have been married for almost 38 years.  Thanks for any comments!
Cat

Coopbear - sounds like you and I have a lot in common!  I need to loose about 60-65 pounds too, am 57 too and work in a school library....I just posted that!  Love to see your posts~ I'll be praying for your success as well as mine!
Cat

Christinelf and Phx_Girl
Christinelf-you give me hope!  Phx_Girl-maybe you can keep me updated on your progress because we have about the same amount of weight to loose.  I just finished my first week and do not see any difference.  My clothes are no looser but I am eating better than I was before so that is a plus-I just wish I would see some sort of change!  I am going to stiick with it and see how things go!

I too just officially started my "Mens Silver" program today. Goal is to get down from 255 to around 180. Sure comes off slowly at this age! I used NS, very successfully,  back in the '80's but got off the program and gradually gained it all back and then some. Must get in the right mindset and keep focused.

I wrote a comment and blog yesterday and haven't had one reply?  Guess the so called support will have to come from somewhere else. Oh well...best of luck to you toolongbig, our age does hurt but we have to stay positive that we can do it, so hang in there.

This is my first blog ever... so here goes ... I started nc july 13 ...... lost 30lbs  and hit a  plateau.  counser advised eating protein instead of dairy. will try....I cant stop getting on the scale.. I am playing 1/2 up 1/2 down and I am following this program and find it easy... maybe  my mental state  got  me started... my world might be turned upside down... at 50. jurry's not in yet, but what I do know is that I  love ns,and will loose all my weight. that may not fix what wrong in my life but I will feel better ... loose weight and find me along the path of life. its never to late to grow up . I am looking for friends and have found a home here on these boards.
and cat I am listenng...  stress and sadness can distroy your world. put all that behind..  may you find some comfort here..send out positive vibs and they will come. love  your self first .... the rest will fall into place-

I know what you mean.  I have been on NS for 2 1/2 weeks.  I have lost 12 lbs.  I am very excited, but someday, I feel like I am out there all alone.  I know I can talk with counselor on line, but it would be nice to have people to talk to that are doing the same thing that I am doing.  I would like to lose 58 more lbs.  

Good luck!!!!!

Hi! I just joined on the 11th. I haven't recieved my package yet but I am looking for some friends to help me along the way too. It's always easier when you have friends!!!

I just started NS 2 weeks ago.  I have lost 5 pounds so far.  I am excited about that but I have many more pounds to go.  Would like to lose about 45-50 pounds total.  I am ready to start feeling better about myself.  I would love to have a few NS friends to chat with.  I'm not sure how to add anyone on as friends, so if anyone is interested and knows how to contact each other let me know.

NS friends would be great!!! Add me in I just started the 19th of this month and have already lost 5 lbs!!! Support to continue would be great I need to lose about 130 lbs!!!

hi all :) Week one behind us and 7 lbs lost! My husband, Bobby, is on NS - I am his helper :) He started at 225 and wants to reach 175. He retired from the Army 10 years ago in great shape, 8 years ago he had 2 strokes and lost the use of his right hand/arm. He can walk but not well and not much. He has been steady adding weight over these 7 years and now we are determined to get it off. I am sure he will feel so much better in so many ways. We are both excited and he is loving the food, I am enjoying fixing it for him! I would love to have some NS friends/support to chat with - drop me a line and I will get back to you.
Good luck to all!
Kathy

Welcome, I just  lost around 24 pounds in a sort time, went from a size 10 to a 4, if u have any questions about the food or anything would be glad to help, if i can.  Good Luck!

You all are doing very well.  I have been on NS since the 19th and have lost 2lbs, I have 28 more to go.  Today is the first day that I am taking off from exercise and it feels good.  Well I am going to weigh myself again tomorrow, hopefully I will see more.  Good Luck to all of you, keep up the good work.

Hi I m new to NS day two I m looking for friends I want to lose about 35 pounds ..I want to know from every one how much time did it take to lose that much weight ..I haven't started excercise yet.. also want to know how much difference does it make to excercise and Not...I m constant stress boz of my relationship with my husband ..I need support to keep me going ....!!!!

Well, I am supporting DH with his NS journey and am enjoying it (he is too btw :)   I can be supportive for others and love reading how ppl are doing on it. It seems some lose weight fast and some slower, what makes the difference (other than cheating :) , I don't know. As far as exercise goes, one of the reasons I wanted NS for DH was that it stated that you could lose weight without even excercising and he really is not able to atm. Though I think you would probably lose more with it.
He has been on the diet for 9 days and did not weigh himself today - going to try to do it only once a week, but on day 8 he had lost 8 lbs. That is awesome!!  Only 42 to go :)
Good luck all and remember the NS ad says 'if you can eat - you can lose weight' !! So eat up :)
Kathy

I would love to join you in the journey. I just started today and have just over 100 lbs to lose. I know it's a long haul, but I can do it with 5lb goals at a time.

I am new as well, day 1 for me, and am looking for friends too!  I have about 125 lbs to lose and am determined to get it done.  I know you are going to do great!  Let me know if you need some support.

I'm starting today as well.  Would love to have support.  I used NS years ago after the birth of my daughter and had great sucess.  But I'm now 50 and with our move 6 years ago the stress has put nothing but weight on me. I'd like to lose 80 pounds and then keep it off for good.   I'm doing fine on the food.  I picked all the things I know I'll like.  I travel a lot so having it easily available is great. Would love the support and friendship.

Hi, my name is Linda and I have ben on the program about nine weeks, and I am 5 pounds from my goal. Being on NS has been a revalation to me. I started my diet back in January, I started my diet the old fashion way, watching my calorie in take and what I was eating. It worked for a while then I hit a wall and stopped losing weight. They say to give it time and you'll start losing again. But after three weeks I said forget it. That's when I started NS. Oh my, what a happy, happy day. I found the weight just melting off. If I knew then what I know now I would have started NS back in January. I'm here for ya. Good - Luck

My name is Anita and it would be great to get a few friend in the NS community, I am on week 5 and have lost 12 pounds it feels great and I look wonderful :).

I've been on NS for 10 weeks and lost 20.5# and about 18 inches. I think some times I'm not doing something right. I need some to find out how others are doing. I've got 100 to lose yet. Its hard to drink water for me does anyone have any ideas?

My name is Laura and I am in the middle of week three.  I  would love to have some friends lend me some added support.  I will be happy to give support in return.  So far I am down 12lbs.  The program is easy to stick too and I am finding that it works.  Anyone can add me to your list and contact me.

I've been on the program for 11 days now and I'm really pretty satisfied. But I've had no luck getting thru to a counselor with my questions. Anyone have any suggestions? Maybe I can get some answers from you guys!! Just add me to your list. I'd love to hear from you.

Hi!  I am on day 3, so I am really new.  
I reached a dietitian counselor last evening on line.  kino35, did you call or try on line?
I am concerned about the problems I have read from others regarding their order.
My first order seems pretty good, but I do not care much for sweets, so the dietitian said I could replace with chips and pretzels.  I did this for my next order, so I hope I get what I have ordered.  
Marliene2 are you still on NS and how are you doing with your program?

I too wish to have some NS friends, its so much more exiciting and encouraging to do with others.

I am on day 4, can say that I am not hungry and feel my clothes are getting looser.  I am afraid to weigh myself until day 7.  I have 80 lbs to lose which surprises me because many people would not think I am carrying that much extra.

Email me and we can keep in touch.  Connie

How do u add friends- I tried- where do they show up? Still new to this whole blog thing...

Sorry Marilene- meant to say "good luck" to you, but was asking about how to add friends. I will definitely add you as I just started yesterday and need to talk too someone too. My goal is 60 lbs. for now- although I need to loose more, but one goal at a time...

I just started in Sept 07 and have lost 14 lbs so far.  I have a LOT more to go, but like you, I'd love to share my triumphs with others, I'd like to be your NS friend!  :-)  This is my first time I've even talked to anyone since I've been on NS, good luck!

Mandie

Marilene,

I stayed on NS for a week and then stopped. I am so frustrated. I need more motivation. I need to lose 60 pounds and I know I will feel better. I am having trouble with adding the fruits and veggies. Don't like either one. Also, having trouble giving up my diet soda and drinking water. I need a lot of encouragement and ideas on how to stick with this!!!!!!

Vicki

HI,
Yes, I need NS buddies too!

Oh boy do I need some NS buddies in my corner.  I just joined and I haven't even tasted the food yet!  I don't even know how to blog.

Thanks in advance and good luck in your efforts!  Looking forward to hearing from any of you!

Jody

You are on a great journey for your health . . . I have been here for 13 weeks, and enjoying the adventure!!  My boyfirend and I don't go out to eat any more, so he spends the money he saves from dining out by buying me nice gifts (just bought me a hutch and nightstand to match my bedroom dresser).  So it is working out for me in so many ways.  I will be your friend . . . just let me know if you have any questions . . . or just want to talk!!  
Cathy in Ohio

Hello all,
 Looks like a lot of us are new to the program. I don't mind telling you the first two days were awful. I was so hungry. But on day three, the hunger just disappeared. I have lost a pound and am hopeful for more by the end of the week. I would be glad of some cyber pals if anyone wants to be friends. :) Rene'

Hi all,

I've been on NS for one week and have lost 3 pounds.  I'm looking for friends for support (both ways, of course!) also.

I've been doing this since February and don't have friends yet - lol
How sad am I? What I've found is that it's good to need to loose about the same ammount. I've lose 38 pounds and still have a good chunk to go. while in the beginning all my friends and associates were supportive, now (maybe it's jealousy?) they are telling me not to loose more, that no one can ever loose belly fat after pregnancy..... THAT TICKS ME OFF! I know I can make goal, but this last 1/3 or so seems the hardest.
anyway - I'd like to be your friend

It would be great to have someone to share this long road with. I started NS two weeks ago  today and so far I'm doing pretty good. I've had a few small problems like drinking all the water and cravings.  The choclate NS snacks have really helped, considering choclate is my main downfall. I've been trying to diet for the last 8 months and have gotten absolutely nowhere, and in this two weeks I've lost 13 pounds. WOW!!! If I can do this, sure you can too, good luck.  

hey everyone. I just had a baby 2 months ago.Sooo i gained some weight over the year.I have to lose 40lb to go back to where i was.. I hope i can lose it fast.I dont know how much im gonna be able to lose in 2 months!!!! I just wanna look nice again :((((( i feel soo uncomfortable .

I started NS August 21 and have lost 10 lbs.  but have been playing with it.  Not sticking to it like I should.  I thought it might be time to reach out and get some support from others.  Halum03 I just had a baby July 2 so I know how you feel.  I have 10 to get to my prepregnancy weight however, I needed to lose 50 before I got pregnant in the first place.  Everyone have a good evening..................

i just received my package in the mail, I am looking forward to starting on Monday, I have the support from my family but from no one else doing NS. I would love to have someone tell me I messed up when I eat that piece of cake I shouldn't have and tell me WAY TO GO when I only lost 1 pound. I am being truthful to myself this time and I will loose the weight for me. So if someone would like a NS buddy to help each other please let me know.

Good luck. you are off to a good start. If I can do it anyone can. And I am doing it!

HEY, I AM JUST ONE OF THE MANY PEOPLE THAT WOULD LOVE 2 B YOUR FRIEND, AND I AM  HOPING YOU WRITE ME BACK, OR ACCEPT ME AS A FRIEND, I AM NEW HERE AS WELL, AND HASEN'T RECIEVED MY FOOD YET, BUT I AM SO ANXIOUS, AND READY. PLEASE B MY FRIEND.

HI EVERYONE!!!  I STARTED YESTERDAY AND I'M IN NEED OF A BIG SUPPORT TEAM!  THE FOOD IS DELICIOUS!!! I'M LOOKING FOR SOME FRIENDS TOO!  I HAVE ABOUT 25-30 POUNDS LOSE AND I TRULY HOPE I CAN DO IT.  SAD TO SAY I AM FEELING SOOOO HUNGRY TODAY AND I'M DOING EVERYTHING EXACT...  DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS???

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!

SANDRA

yes, we all need a friend or two though this rough times we all can do this together.
Started program on Monday 10/22/07.. I have 80 lbs to lose... and I know I will the support also from many of you. THANKS
Jorjakpeake@aol.com

Hi!!!  It's great all the help and support that we get from one another. And it is nice to know that there are people out there trying to lose more than 20-30 pounds.  ( not that thats not hard ) I have been doing this for 2 weeks now and I have lost 9 pounds.  Some are losing faster, and some slower, but that's okay, lost is lost.  Keep it up and when you feel down,  you have friends here!

I could definitely use a friend on here. I just ordered my first package and should have it in a week or so. I am very anxious to get the ball rolling!!

count me on on the friend thing too. I've found that it's much easier to change when you have support. So far I haven't figured out how to use this blog thing, but am willing to TRY...it would be great to have you all in support of me and I can surely support you guys. I'm on my first week and have lost 3 pounds. I would like my daughter to join in on this journey too. I wouldn't say the food is delicous but to lose weight it isn't that bad. Anyone got any tricks to make it taste better????

I started oct 23rd and am suprised at how easy things are going so far.... I am commited to doing this and I am sure you feel the same way.  Just keep at it and look down the road a few months from now at how you will look and feel....

Hi!
I will be your NS friend.  Today is my fourth day and it is going much better than I expected.  I have tried other diets and this is the first one that is so easy!
I wouldn't be doing as well if it were not for the message board and being able to read other people's stoies of inspiration!
I am here to help you on your journey:)

Today is my first day so i will need all the friends i can get. It seems as if i am the only one on a diet in the whole house..

Hi all! i would like to be your NS friend.  i have been on the NS since June and have lost 30 pounds.  Would have been more except i went on a business trip for 10 days and didnt make the right choices. However i am now home and back on track.  still have 70 pounds to go to reach my goal. congratulations to everyone on their weight loss, it is not easy.  i am new to blogging. and am looking for other NS friends to share the good and bad days.  need motavation to exercise.  while i was gone i did walk about 3 miles a day.

yes i know how u feel. i would love to be your friend to along with everyone else.
as i am having a hard time on this diet and need some one to talk to and help me through it.
i just can't lose the weight. do u have any suggestions? or pointers you could share with me.
thanks. and good job keep losing.....

I am one week in and feeling good about it today.  The first week, I had mixed emotions, but I finally weighed today and lost 4 lbs.  It is very encouraging.  I only have about 35 or 40 lbs. to lose but it is still very important to me.  I actually put a pair of my dress pants on yesterday and they weren't tight.  That felt really good!  So give it a chance, prepare to pee alot.  Eat some of the foods you think you may not like...you may be supprised, I was.  The pea soup, for example is good.  I haven't tackled the black bean stuff yet, though.  Read my blog for today, I have a few suggestions..  The BEST of luck to you...and I need friends and encouragement too.  Today is good, so I'm pretty UP, but there are other days that are gloomy..    Sue

I am on my first week also.  All the support I can get would be FANTASTIC!  This morning I have blue teeth from the blueberries! I should have been an oompa loompa blueberrie for halloween. Happy Halloween.

I'm new as well, should get my package tonight.  Plan on starting Nov1st.  But I promised myself that I WILL NOT over indulge tonight! Happy Halloween and good luck .
I have 16.2 lbs that I want to lose.  MY Goal is 148lbs pre marriage and babies weight!  I know I can do this.  Would love to have you as a friend and support!

Hi! I started yesterday.  Today I had only around 1,000 calories and felt a little light-headed - but I can do it - WE can do it!  I want and need to lose 150 lbs. (my BMI would be a healthy 25).  I was 105-100 lbs. in high school, 120 at college and went up and down and when I got married in 1986 at the age of 24 I was 140 lbs.  I got pregnant at 200 and went up to 275 when I had my last child - that was 8 years ago.  Somehow (? :)  )  I went up and down from 240 to 306.  Scary.  I'm now borderline Diabetic but don't have to take insulin or medication - yet.  I have to do this for my self and I hate the way I now look and feel.   I know that having my five children didn't get me fat - eating large portions, snacking late at night and not exercising didn't help.  I have a treadmill and hope to get back on it!  Good luck and let's keep in touch!

Hi! I am on day 3 and have about 70 lbs to loose.  This has not been so bad so far.  The trick today was the grocery store.  I made it though without picking up any of the bad stuff, yeah for me!!  I see tons of support and encouragement here and would like to be part of that.  

my name is Donna and I started on  Halloween. Day 4 and I am feeling thinner also. The program is so easy to follow. I could use the support also. It's always easier with someone else on the program.

Hi everyone, I just started my program on the 1st of November, I hope this works for me, I've tried just about everything else. I love the NS diet so far, the food is great, I just can't believe I could lose weight with this great food. I love the chocolate, if I can eat chocolate and lose weight, thats my kind of diet. I really have to see the results to believe this. It just sound too good to be true.I could use the support to help me through this journey. Thanks.

Hi, My name is Barb. I just turned 50 at the end of Sept and way over weight. I thought if I don't do something now, I never will. Sept 17 was my first day on this program. I need to lose 125 - 150 pounds. Now wheather I can do this, time will tell. But so far I have lost 21 pounds,There has only been 4 things out all of the food that I didn't like.
I don't know any one on Nutri System. I would like to get a support team going. If anyone is interested, please write me back. I don't know how this part of the web site works. I do use yahoo messenger and my screen name is B100BC. I've read a few of these and would like to contact some of you, just don't know how.

                                                                      Barb

Hi everyone~

Today was my first day.  I'm looking forward to weight loss and feeling n looking better!  best of luck to all of you!!!

I've been on the program since 11/02 and today is 11/11 and I have lost 11 lbs. in the first week!  It really keeps me motivated!  I need to start walking on my treadmill and I could lose more!  I am full with the veggies and fruits added.  I'm so excited!  Maybe this WILL work and I can possibly lose my 150 lbs. within the next year!!!

I just started today.  I would love to have you on my friends list.  Sounds like we need to lose the same amount of weight.  I never thought I would need to lose this amount.  It was so easy to put on.  Just eat the hospital food (I work as an administrative assistant). My goal is to get back down to high school weight of 125.  Thats about 60 pounds.  We can do this!!

Wow.....Scarlett....am proud of you.   NOt going down to HS weight, Tikasiamese......am 51.....going to go 15 pounds above that.  Just started 4 days ago.....eager.  My brother in law lost a lot and his chloresterol went down 60 points+

Hi All,
I have been part of NS for about a month now. I am looking for support to continue. I really like the foods and love the support that can be found online. I have lost a total of 9 pounds. I need to get on my feet and start working out, but I need help in finding motivation. any words of encouragement will be appreciated.

Plus I am also looking to gain some new friends,..

LL

I am new to NS too.  As of tomorrow I will have been on the program 2 weeks.  I have lost 7 lbs. want to lose 53 more.  I love this program.  In the past I have only been able to stay on a diet 3 days max.  Sad but true.  This is the easiest and most filling I have tried.  I love it.  Sorry to repeat myself.  Anyway I would really like to hear from others especially those over 40 ( I am 51)  Thanks

Hi Marilene & other NS'ers.
I am on day 2 of NS, and feeling really good about how I am going to do this time on the diet plan.  I have done many others, but they have never lasted long.  I am a little worried though, about Thanksgiving being right around the corner, and then Christmas.  It would be nice to talk to others that are in the same boat as me.  I would really love to meet some friends on here, to do this with me.  I have always been on my own, and I think that is why I have failed everytime.  

Hope to talk to some of you soon.

Thanks, Nikki

hi ,,, i would like to be your friend! i am on day 5 and need to lose 50lbs
good luck !

Hi I am also new to NS, On my 5th day.
Doing good, would like to lose 60lbs, was going to do the surgery, but thought I would try this first.
Would like to meet some new friends on here, have lots of ?
 If any one can help me out, I would love to hear from you.
    Lots of luck to you all !
        Thanks, Mary

Hi Marlene,  I have been on the program since the end of September. As, all the rest here, I would appreciate it if you would let me go this journey with you. I found it hard to lose much weight the first month because i believe very body as a set point in there body that kick starts the metabolism. I started at 232 lbs and slowly the lbs starting coming off. During my second month now I'm losing about a lb every couple of days. My goal is to get back to about 185 or 190 because of my height and body build.  There are only a few foods that I found very bad and they willingly substitued them for others. One of the worst was the Turna Cassserole but I heard they have discontiued it becasuse of the amount of compliaints   God bless you richly and have a great Thanksgiving to you and yours.  If you write to me I'll be glad to respond and try to be of help. My theme in life is LIVE-IT-NOT-DIET! becuse I say who wants to diet when D.I.E. are right in it and nobody wants to do it. haha.  

IT IS A MONTH TILL CHRISTMAS, I START MY NS FOOD TOMMORROW. IT HELPS SO MUCH TO READ EVERYONES COMMENTS, I KNOW I'M NOT ALONE, WOULD LOVE TO HEAR MORE. I HAVE STAYED HOME THE LAST FEW YEARS TAKING CARE OF A ELDERLY MOTHER, WHO PASSED AWAY . I ATE AND ATE. I KNOW HAVE TO GET INTO CLOTHES AT 57 AND LOOK FOR A JOB.    MONA FROM ASHEVILLE,NC

Hi,

I would like to be your friend!  I need friends too!  I joined two days ago, so I'm still not sure how everything works, but we could figure it out together.

Wishing you the best
Amanda

I'm new here too, but am confused as to how I'm supposed to incorporate dairy, veggies, etc.  Can I eat dinner for breakfast or lunch for dinner or even breakfast for lunch, etc.?  What happens if I cook vegetables and chicken in a crock pot and have that some days?  Questions, questions, questions.

Can anyone help?  Thanks.

Hi,  

I just got on here today and need friends too!  I am still waiting for my food and anxious to get started and see how this all works.  I am hoping some of you are willing to add me to your friends list so we can do this together...

Hi,
This is the first time I do this and would like to be your friend. I have tried to diet a few times but find it extremely hard.  Maybe if I find some friends going through the same thing it will  keep me motivated.  Hopefully I won't get depressed and give up.

I just started NS one week ago and am pleasantly surpried at how good the food is. My goal is to lose 25 pounds by my birthday in May if not sooner. we need to keep each other encouraged so we can all do a Happy dance.

Tracy

you say you want friends and look at this page- my word. Just incase its not enough- i wouls like some friends as well. I wish everyone luck- WE CAN DO THIS GUYS!!!!

Hi I just joined and anxiously waiting for my package. I have tried sooo many other diets and most started out good in the beginning but didnt have longevity for me.
I have 3 children and was fairly active but in the last year there has been so much stress in my life and  I have just ballooned! Funny how the weight just seems to 'sneak up' on you. Everyone looks at me differently then they used to, even friends and family treat me different. It's like this elephant in the room that nobody wants to mention.
I just want to look and feel good, seems like forever ago that I could just put on anything I wanted to in my closet and feel great. Now I HATE going shopping, most of the time I dont leave my house unless I have to. My husband and I dont go out with friends anymore and I dont invite people over to my house because I am embarassed at how I look. My husband thinks I am being silly.
I hope NS will be a step in the right direction to making some big changes!
I love reading about the success stories!! I hope one day I will be writing my own. :)

ally_dee, I really relate to your post!  I DREAD shopping, seeing what size I have to have to get things to even zip up, and then they're too tight!  One thing's for sure - when I get back down to the size I was just a few years ago, I'm going to enjoy it!  I look at pics of me when I weighed 125, and I remember that I thought I was sooooo fat!!  Now I know how ridiculous I was being, and I'll be able to appreciate the ability to put on "just anything" and feel great.

We're gonna do this!

Hi LRLSC, I know what you mean. When I was younger and much slimmer (130) I though I was fat too, now I would kill to be that size again and know that I probably never will be again. Funny how your perception changes with time. I dont want to be super skinny, I just want to be at a point where I am confortable in my clothes and have more energy to play with my kids and be in a picture with them. I refuse to have my picture taken at this size.
How long have you been on the program LRLSC? Is it working for you?

HI I'M 52 AND BEEN ON FOR 3 MONTHS AND LOST 37 POUNDS AND DOING GREAT AND LOVE THE FOOD.

Wow that's great! Keep up the good work. I hope I get results like that.

It is great to read all about the successes.  I am on week 2 and I am up 6 pounds.  I am not sure what I am doing wrong.  I follow the plan. with no cheating and I am working out at least 3 times a week.  I was hoping 6 pounds would be a loss not a gain.  I refuse to give up.  I have about 40 pounds to loose and together we will all make it.  

Have a great Holiday

Okay, I received my box last week and it sits on my kitchen floor - unopened - I know I need to open it and get started, guess I'm afraid of failure.  I'm 57, female and fighting those nasty hot flashes!! I have a lot of weight to lose and could sure use some support. Guess I better just get out there and go for it!! How much water is good? Can I put Crystal lite in it? If you've got tips - I'm all ears!!!! Thanks guys,

I just ordered my first order of ns food and cant wait to start i need some friends so please be free to email me

Hi!  I'd love to be a NS friend!  I am on day 6, and I already feel great!  I never realized how little fruits and vegetables I hd been eating!  I agree that it is so much easier to stick to a diet when you have support.  Here's to a great 2008 and hitting our goals!

ANNA

hello, I am awaiting my NS...the beginning to a healthier, happier me!!! I have 30 lbs. to shed, I would love to chat and get some advice and support:)

I made the commitment...  ordered the food and am waiting for it to arrive.  I need all the help I can get.  I have at least 50 lbs to get rid of.  According to the charts, more, but I am keeping my goal reasonable.  Can't wait for the food to get here to get started!..  Hope it is not long.  I would love to chat and get any advice and support anyone can offer.  

Hi all, I just ordered my food today and looking for buddies to cheer each other on.  I hope to be a 30 lb. loser.......good luck to all!!!

I need all the friends I can muster up. I have every workout equipment you can imagine, but thats just it i have it but don't use it. I need a trainer.. anyone that  can say. Do It. Chanelmyst I'm with you... I just started also on NS, this is my 2nd day.. already lost 1  1/2 lbs. I love it. This is my 3rd time everyone, and I KNOW it works.   I got down for my wedding when i was 42, right to my goal of 125..... but now that im an aged woman. 140 would be fine for me.  Im presently 176.5  ...

I am still getting around in here also.   So anyone that can give me a push, please do. I want to be thin for July, going back to Canada and want to surprise everyone. Not telling any of my friends until i actually can show myself that i've done it.

Hi all, I havent received my food yet..I think around Thursday it will be here.  I have 70 pounds to lose so I hope the food is ok.  I've lost this much before just eating the right foods and exercising.  I would love to share experiences with someone.  If I can figure out how to respond to these blogs ;)

Hey guys- I am on day 9 so far but I haven't seen any movement on the scale yet, which is kind of disappointing.  I could use some NS buddies!

Hey everyone I'm on day 3 and feel good. I have 20lbs to lose and would love to connect. Anyone out there struggle with night eating???  I have for years and still am having trouble.
Roseann46

Well I am just starting week 3. I only want to loose 15 lbs but sometimes I think the less  you have to loose, the harder it is.  I need to fit back into my clothes and 15 makes a big difference. My down fall is sweets - cookies - I love cookies!! So far I am enjoying the food and hoping to stick with it - I think I have lost 2 lbs so far, but not sure if my scale is right. I have never tried any diet plans like this before so hoping it works for me and that I can get back to what I should weigh. Any comments for me since I am still fairly new to this? Thanks

I am starting my 2nd month I've gone from a size 18 to a size 16. I'm thinking about putting my picture on line now since I'm starting to feel confident. I need a friend I'm in this alone. My fiancee is always trying to tempt me. I HATE THAT!

I am on day 5 and would really like some friends two it is really nice to see others with the same types of struggles as yourself. Still trying to figure this site out as well so lets try to talk.
Robin

I'm on day 8 and would love to have some friends to take this journey with.  With so many responses maybe this should be a group!  :o)

Kim

hELLO MY NAME IS SNEATHER AND I JUST ORDERED MY FOOD TODAY. IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE SOME ONE TO TALK WITH WHEN ITS HARD AND TO SHARE WITH WHEN ITS GOOD

Hi there!  My name is Colleen, I think it is greatto have people with the same focus and goals.  I am finding it very difficult lately to stay on track with this diet.  I have done it in the past and did great, this time I am down 15 lbs putting me at 215, but now I have no desire to eat the food.
Any suggestions to get me motivated and back on track?

Hey there, love to have a buddy.  I have been on this program for a week only lost 4 lbs and have stayed the same for 3 days.  Getting discouraged, some help from others would be nice.

Hi I am new to this too and have been on the diet now 3 days and have weighed myself and I am already down 3 pounds, and I am very excited. I realize it wont always be that way, but hey, I will take this for now...(smile)  It is a hard thing to lose what took so very long to put on.  I will try and encourage as many people as I can, we all need that sort of support.

Hello All. I have been on the ns program for about 13 days. I have lost about two pounds so far. I'm trying to stay encouraged. I know that the weigh will come off with time, I just have to stay postive.  

Hello I am still trying to figure this web site also,  been on NS for one week.  Lost 6 pounds, but still alot to go.

well i hope 2 make friends here and hope 2 stay on .

PS: I get on the scale everyday...I can't help it! can anyone relate to me?

i am having a hard seeing results

Hello! I got my NS Tuesday and pigged out Wed, Thurs, Fri.  I figured I better eat anything that I would miss.  So, I started NS this morning.  My mom also started this morning but she lives 1200 miles away and I don't think she is going to keep up with things online. I would like some friends to chat with. It is good to hear about other people having the same thoughts that I have.  My daughters already have their eyes on my desserts.

Hi,
I think its important too that people support each other, and I think this is a great topic, because I dont have any support here, so you are helping me out as well.  It would be nice to be your friend.

Greetings,
This is my 2nd time around with NS.  Hubby and I went on the program early 2007 for 3 months and lost ~30 lbs each. But . . . slowly, with the return of bad eating habits, we gained it back, and then some!  This Thursday will be my first weeks weigh-in - sure am looking for a loss, for sure.

Always looking for new NS friends!! If I can help folks in any way, just give me a holler!

Hi, I started 10 days ago and i am doing well, and would like to find some friends to talk to and support. I started the NS 3 years ago for about a month but was not commited. Now i am commited with a new mind set and permanent goals.

Hi,

I rejoined on Tuesday and ordered my food.  I received it on Thursday, so today is officially my restart date.  I have to lose 33-35 lbs and I'm looking forward to having many supporters on these boards.  Just write in and let us know how you are doing and we can share stories.

Have a great day and good luck on plan.

I have been on the program for 11 days and have not lost a lb and I am going by the book.  Anyone else having trouble

I am on my second day and looking for friends too.

I am only on day 4 but the scale shows not an ounce and I feel like I am starving sometimes. I think that is what my body thinks anyhow. I know for a fact I am eating better, great in fact. Just worried that this isn't the answer...I need it to be.

I have been on Nutrisystem for a year and three months and would love to make some friends too.  I had lost 91 pounds but put 15 pounds back on.  I have now lost seven of those pounds again and plan to stay on track.  I am on day 17 of 100% days!  YEAH!  I would love Nutrisystem friends for support.

WoW!!  Are you eating all the extra food that they say to eat?

We're in the same boat. I'm on my second day and I need to lose 40 lbs. My wife and 3 daughters don't think I can do it so I'm going to rely on friends like you for support. First day went great! Never hungry and the food wasn't bad. I do alot of entertaining so fine food and spirits are my hurdles. Have a great day...Jim

Hello, I too have just started NS, I am on my 5TH day.  Would love to be a friend and support you, I have the same goal.  Having friends for support helps alot.  New to the website, also, so I am still learning how to navigate it.  Not sure how to add friends, but I will certainly add you when I figure it out.  In the mean good luck, and have the will power.  Hope to chat soon.

Hi!  I have been on the program for 3 weeks and have been doing great!  My goal is to lose 71 pounds and I am 10 pounds into it!  I have found it incredibly easy so far, but I have also made up my mind that this is it!  This time it is going to work!  I have tried it all and nothing has worked!  Good for you and best of luck!  

Well I have made it past 10 pounds!!! Woohoo. So far I have lost 12 pounds in 3 months. It's going pretty slow but I feel like i'm about to really start dropping it now. I'm much better about the cheating, and I know that's gotta help ;) How is everyone else doing? Take care and don't forget your water today.

Hi, I have been on NS for three months. The first 6 weeks I lost ten pounds. The next six weeks, the scale did not move but I kept on keeping on. Persistence paid the scale is beginning to move again so I'm on to the last ten pounds. Does this sound familiar to anyone else. If so, I would love to meet you.

Hi,  Jazzybear I hear ya...I am going on 2 months...the first 6 weeks I lost 15lbs  and now I think my scale is broke or stuck....I keep making my daughter step on it to see if it's working....lol...the sad thing is, is that it is not broke....It gets a bit discouraging when you see absolutely no change...I am not giving up..still have at least 20 more pounds to go...

So are you telling me that I should not expect the scale to move for a few more weeks?????UGGG

Good Morning!  I have been on this system for about five weeks.  I also have Multiple Schlerosis and at this point numerous road-blocks.  My husband says MS stands for many symptoms or memory shortness - Maybe he he is right!  Don"t tell him, I can make it work to my advantage! haha

I can only guess at my weight when I began and how much I would like to lose, because, for now, I am unable to stand or walk.  So! I'm  looking for a few friends and alot of support.  

I'm not so great at computers, so please be patient.  But I will listen, read and offer support, perhaps a smile or two!  I look forward to meeting you.

Have been on the system for 4 days -- this is my 5th and getting very nervous about the first weigh in as I been diligent about the plan and REALLY want to see the scale show it......have tried other programs and have not been successful.  It would be great to have a buddy -- I'm looking to loose 30 pounds.....

Hey! contracts to you for starting! I have been on NS for 5 days now and need friends as well. You all seem so wonderful. PLease feel free to add me :)

Congrats. I too just started.  I am on day 13 and need to loose 160#'s. I could use all the support I can get. I hope you are doing well and would like to join you.

Hello and good morning E1. Just had my weigh in and so far I have lost 15 pounds!! Now I am shooting for the 20 pound mark...wooo hooo. Tonight my son has a music program for school and we are taking the kiddos for ice cream after. This will be a good test to see if I can go without cheating. I plan on taking a NS brownie so I won't feel left out of the treat.

It's my 5th day on NS ....still learning how to wonder around the website ... and would love to find some friends . I've lost 5lbs i was shocked !

Hi. It is my third day and I would love to have some friends on this journey! Even with a house full of children and a great husband, this can be lonesome.  How do we communicate? Is the right page or is there another place to chat? Anyone feel free to respond.

This is my 2nd day and also would love to have the friendship and support.  I feel so good that I finally made the decission to go NS and loose weight.  My goal is 70 lbs soooooooooo long road ahead with lots of bumps and curves before I get my curves back.

Monday will be the first week. Already I have lost 3 pounds! Yahoo!!! Just go to my page anytime and we can become Nutri. buddies.
