I HAVE FINALLY EARNED MY 50-LB. BEAR!!!
I'M SO EXCITED! AS OF TODAY, I HAVE OFFICIALLY LOST 51.5 POUNDS
ON NS! YAY! I still have 15 pounds to lose, but I WILL DO IT! This is by
far the best program I have ever been on, and I've tried most of them.

Woohoo!NS ROCKS!!!!

How do I do it?  I eat NS foods and stay on the program most of the time.
I also exercise generous portions of WANT power and WILL power.

     I WANT to see my grandchildren grow up;
     I WANT to live a long, healthy life; and
     I WANT that life to be meaningful and not full of pain and misery.

     I WILL lose weight to accomplish my WANTS.
     I WILL remain on the NS program until I reach my goal.
     I WILL use the NS maintenance program to help me keep off the
     weight when I finally reach that goal.

Results of my weight loss to date?
    
     I have a bad hip, which no longer gives me the pain it did.
     I have (as does anyone who loses weight) made my load-bearing joints
     much happier and less painful.
     I'm 66 years old and feel and look younger than I have in years.

To those just starting the program, you, too, can lose if you just hang
in there and don't give up. Allow yourself to make mistakes (goodness
knows, I made my share of them) and as I said in an earlier blog, get back
on that horse and ride when you fall!! That's key. Hugs to all of you!

Joan

I love your want and will list. I too want to see my grandchildren grow up. I want to be active and healthy as I grow older. I too want to prevent health problems that occur with aging and diabetes. Thanks for the inspiration. Betty

Woo-Hoo!!
I am celebrating with you!!!
I agree with EVERYTHING you said!!
Nutri-system ROCKS!!!
I turned down my favorite dessert at school yesterday...cause I didn't want to sabotaouge(sp.) my program and this morning i realized I really have NO desire to go back to that life again!!
I am so proud of you!!
On my last order, I was 49.6 pounds down when they shipped my order. They didn't include my bear...(1st time not getting one) When the order got here, I was 52 pounds down..I was a little disappointed about that little bear not coming...
However....not for long!!
have a great day NS sister
