I'm very interested to getting to know all of you a little better. I would live to know how long you've been on NS and where you're from!

    Hi - I'm Peggy from Oklahoma. I've been on NS since March 22 (this is day 32) and so far I've "discarded" 12.4 pounds. Still have a ways to go but proud of myself for this accomplishment.

    Hi Peggy, I'm Chris from So Cal and on NS since 1/2015 though a member on and off since 2009. This is the LAST time! Started WW 10/28/14 and still go to the meetings for (mostly) accountability so you can say I'm on the combo plan. Has worked for me, down almost 30 lbs. You're doing great! Nice meeting you.

    Hi Peggy! I'm Jen from SC. I've been on NS since Jan 9th of this year. As of this morning (official weigh day tomorrow) I've lost 22 lbs. I love the NS program! Just not a fan of their technical abilities and the way they have broken up our NS family.

    Rosanna here from Boonville, Indiana. Joined NS in late January and have lost 20 pounds so far. - Still have a long way to go, but am determined to shed the spread. I still am on the fence as to what I see the future of the NS web site to be, but I work on these things and know how often they are in flux. Decisions are made and then abrupt reversals happen. It is usually only the creative team and those in the upper levels of marketing that even have a clue what is really going on until it happens. I think the problems are emanating from the general feeling of community on the existing site and the fear of that falling by the wayside and a sense of betrayal - but then again what do I know. - I'm just a computer geek.

    I'm Michael (Mike is fine too). My wife Swati and I joined NS on February 22nd. She is also a member of this group but has a "real" job and little time to post. I run our online business from home. Thanks in large part to many of the other people in this group, we have been pretty successful so far. I am down 29 lbs and Swati is down 15 lbs. My profile pic was taken last week after losing 27 lbs and, no, I am not trying to be cool with the glasses - it was sunny outside.

    Hi I'm Shelle from OR. I have gone on and off of NS many times in the past years. This time is going to be a keeper with all of you Pals to help me. I started on April 9th (my grandson turned 17 that day) and have lost 3.5 pounds so far. I have had a battle with this same 15 lbs for years and just want it to stay off. My hardest time is when I get it off and want to maintain.....that is when I will REALLY need support! That's when my love for food and wine always takes ahold of me again. Please feel free to buddy up with me, I've been adding people but probably missed some.

    I'm Kristi, my nieces call me Sissy. Huge Nascar fan, hence "jrn8ion"! Lost 22 lbs in 2009, didn't use discussion boards until 2011 when I was buying shakes and stuff with NS. Back again since April 6th (I think) to lose the 20 lbs I've gained back (I blame menopause), but since I am losing maybe it was my eating habits lol. Tomorrow is weigh in, so wish me luck.

    Hey Dudes -

    I’m Morgan and live just North East of Atlanta. My bride and I started NS on 1/11/15. As of last Sunday (4/19) I am down 51 pounds and Annette is down 32 pounds. We both absolutely love the Nutrisystem program (sans NuMi) and have totally turned our life around since starting. Prior to NS, I was a couch slug. These days I start every day off at the gym, run at least 45 minutes and walk 1 hour later in the day. I am actually running in my first 5K race this Saturday. We have two boys (23 and 17), 3 Brittany Spaniels, 3 ferrets, 3 birds, a bunch of tropical fish, 2 fancy rats, 2 rabbits, and a Chinese Water Dragon.

    Anyway, I am very excited that we have all have a new home so we can continue to support and cheer each other.

    Morgan

    Hi guys!
    I am Randy's daughter, Jenni. I am 16 years old and live in the New Hampshire seacoast area. I am not a part of Nutri-System, but my dad has been promoting healthy eating at home and he suggested My Fitness Pal. It's crazy to see how poorly I eat and how little I excersize but I'd like to change that!
    Wish the best of luck to you all.

    I'm Patty from Nebraska, and I just started Fast Five yesterday for the first time. So far so good for Day 2 :) I was really bummed to just begin and find out that the old NS boards were closing, so I'm glad to find others over here :)

    Hi Jenni, Your dad was one of the first people on NS to send me a friend request. Although I only know him through the blogs, he seems like a really good guy. It's great that he started this group to bring us all together and you should be proud of him.

    My son actually just turned 16 yesterday. I hope you are helping your dad stick to his diet like my son is helping me (or should I say monitoring me). He actually saw me eating a Nutrisystem cupcake the other day and asked me if that was on my diet. I said yes but he still doesn't believe me. You are at a great age to start good habits that will stay with you for life. Thank you for posting!

    Hi All,
    I'm Swati, Mikemusky44's wife. Started NS almost 9 weeks ago and have lost 15 lbs so far. I unfortunately do not have much time to blog during the day, but love to read all your stories. This group has some of the nicest & most supportive people. I'm so glad to be a part of it.

    Hi all! I'm Kate, and I'm from Chicago. I started Nutrisystem on April 1st (23 days ago), and I have lost 13.4 lbs so far. Loving the Nutrisystem plan but disappointed in the management of the site--I was using NuMi but today it totally crashed and I'm fed up--I need something reliable! Loving MFP so far, and excited to join the group!
