It looks like the NS Group hit 200 members today! I noticed there are a lot of members I do not remember from the NS site and thought it would be nice for everybody to introduce/reintroduce themselves.
I'm Mike. I started NS on 2/22/15 along with my wife Swati. I am currently down 31 lbs on a mission to a 50 lb loss. We work out 30 minutes per day, 6 days per week. We also throw in additional workouts a couple of times per week. I followed the NS system strictly for the first 6 weeks but started adding some extra calories recently due to intense workouts we are doing. I am still losing weight at a nice pace so I guess it's working.
I rely on the NS Group for motivation and support and there are some awesome people on here. Please feel comfortable in introducing yourself to the group. I am sure you will find it to be a great asset in your weight loss journey.

Welcome to those NSers who have found us here on MFP and brought us to a group of "more than 200". Many of you already know me, but for those who don't, I'm Phyllis (P~). I love long walks on the beach and....oh....sorry wrong spiel.
I've been with NS since January 13, 2015, and am well on my way to meeting my 60 lb. goal with 37 lbs. gone! I'm a strong proponent of the mindset makeover meaning, this is a lifetime commitment to live a healthy life with losing weight being one of the many benefits of making this change for the better. I am enjoying great friendships with many of you, and look forward to forging new friendships with the rest of you. All the best! P~ 0 -

My name is Dot. I am back on NS since April 6. I was on it back in 2009 and lost 60 pounds. I have gained 15 back and nothing I have tried has helped, so I am back. I am not having a lot of success. I lost 5 pounds the very first week, but only .2 pounds since. That's POINT 2. But I have lost more than an inch from my waist and half and inch or so from the hips, so I am satisfied. I workout in various ways 4 times a week. My favorite is aerobics.
I will be 54 years old next month. I teach at a Christian School. (English to grades 8 and 9, Spanish to grades 8,9, and 10 and Bible to grade 11). I am happily married to a wonderful man who suffers from heart disease and mild Alzheimers. He is retired Navy.
I have 3 grown children, 5 grown stepchildren, 4 grandchildren with another due any day now! I also have 3 stepgrandchildren with another due in July.
I am a born again Christian and I love the Lord with all my heart! Things I love: shopping, listening and dancing to music, watching Investigative reporting on TV ( like Dateline), and traveling with my best girlfriends!0 -

Decided I needed to do this again so here I am. My NS username is Chalmation14.

Hello everyone! I'm Yvonne. I live in the Northern Neck of VA (area between the Rappahannock and Potomac Rivers). I've been on NS since Jan. 2015. So far, I've lost 30 lbs and have another 30 to go to hit goal. My kids are grown, 2 sons, 1 stepson, and 1 stepdaughter, 2 grands. I am an avid equestrian. Over the years, I've picked up pounds and that has affected my fitness level which is reflected in my riding. Since starting NS and getting on a regular exercise routine, my fitness and strength has greatly improved. I'm a retired RN and real estate salesperson. My old NS name was HeavyHorsewoman. BTW, Stewart is my horse's name which goes along with my MFP name.0

Hello friends,
I am Randy. I live on the coast of New Hampshire with my beautiful wife and three children ages 5, 8, and 16. I started Nutrisystem on March 23, 2015, after a challenge with my mother-in-law to get down to my ideal weight. She offered to send me on an all expense paid fishing trip to Key West if I could get down to 210lbs, and keep it off for six months. I'm more than half way there in just six weeks!0 -
Hey all, I'm Chris. I started NS in February and have dropped 30 lbs since then. I live in El Paso Tx with my lovely wife Tina and my 3 teenage boys. I've still got a long way to go but I'm feeling very positive about my start!0

Hi I'm Lynn from Rolesville NC. We just moved here from Rochester NY I started on January 27. I have over 100 to lose and have almost made it to 30. We are out of town A lot with my daughters travel volleyball. That fact has made this journey...challenging. I figure I have to mix in real life a lot so I'm going to be better off in the long run. I did NS a long time ago like 25 years and did well like 75 lbs. and even did a radio spot for them. I was horrible who wants to hear themselves on the radio not me!! I can tell you this nutrisystem now is so much better than nutrisystem back then omg. I vaguely remember reconstituting a burger with boiling water. Ugh. Anyhow, I'm back because I know it works for me. I'm a lot older it's going slower but it's working and I am eating healthier and doing things for myself. Everyday is a step in the right direction!!0

Hi Everyone, I'm Val. Since 2010 living in San Antonio, TX.

I am a divorced mom of two girls (ages 24 and 12, and yes, the 12 yo was on purpose!). I am a dog-lover...I have four, and have fostered and rescued tons more!

Hi there! I'm Kerra from Sun City Center Florida. A retirement community on Tampa's south shore (which I refer to as the elephant's graveyard) The Mister and I retired here about 4 years ago from GA, although I am a gypsy by nature. Born & raised on the West coast and wandered around the continental 50 throughout adulthood.
We are a blended family with 8 children + 5 spouses, 15.6 grandchildren, and one great-grandchild due in a couple months. Christmas is chaos.
I am on my second week of NS, the first time I've ever actually been on a diet myself. I'm an avid researcher and analyst which causes no end to questions and clarifications. (What do you MEAN Frito's and Bean dip aren't allowed for dinner? Fritos = CORN, Bean dip = PROTEIN, therefore OP!) Kidding, really...I was 6lbs into my 25lb goal at then end of my Fast 5 week. I'm having a lot of atypical issues with the program..but that's for another thread
I'm super active, we play Pickleball 2 hours every day, 7 days a week. I Zumba once a week, Golf once a week and Line dance when I have the opportunity and I try to get 10K steps in daily. My natural inclination (and what got me to the point of needing NS, along with Menopause and quitting smoking) is to game (RPG's & SL) on the computer as well as being a voracious reader. (Both best done with a Latte & bag of chips)

HI, I am Jody. On the NS site I was Jody.T I joined NS in March of 2014, and I just earned my 70 pound bear. I have a lot more to lose and I am planning on being around here for at least another year. I am from West Fargo, North Dakota. I have a husband (of 30 years) and 3 grown kids. The oldest was married last summer (I lost 50 pounds before that wedding), we have a wedding July 2015 (would love to be closer to -100 by then), and followed up by the last wedding August 2016. I try to walk everyday. I recently got a fitbit and I find that it motivates me to get up and move!0

Hi, I am Jennifer and I have been with NS since 27 Feb 2015. I have lost 14 lbs and over 11 inches so far. I am way more please with the inches than the weight. I have gone down a pants size and am feeling better. I live in Georgia with my husband and two kids.0

Hi everyone!
I am Sytrace from the NS boards, but my name is Tracey.
I started on NS the first week of February and have lost 25 lbs and MANY inches since then. I am a stay at home mom who homeschools my 2 kids (ages 12 and 13). We love to travel and go to Disney (a lot) and I do some of my best walking at the theme parks. I am blessed to be married to a super supportive man who loves me thru thick and thin. (lol) And who is happy for me mainly because I am healthier and eating better.
I have an almost 2 year old Doberman who likes to go out on long walks which is another way I get my exercise in.
I go to the Y at least 4 days a week and work on the stationary bike, treadmill and elliptical. I really need to do some circuit training too. But I really don't spend as much time on that as I should.
Thank you all for being here and continuing your awesome support even though NS dropped the ball. I am happy to be here.0 -
