1. Remove line 1 or line 4 since they seem to be contradictory? I can edit the first Post to do that.
2. Leave everybody in that is in?
3. Accept anybody, suggest gently that they join Nutrisystem if they can?
4. I think anybody could join the old forums and post whether or not they were NS customers. If not how did Spammers get into the forums to post with 1 post?
5. As Linda Kay said or implied? I doubt that there is a way to verify people use NS foods and also that I do not expect a large influx of non NS users TBH.
6, I sort of thought that the Challenge was the thing, Do we want to turn anyone away that desires what we want?
Agree to remove contradiction - remove line #4.
Leave everyone in who has joined.
I also had a question about those who want to join the Challenge and no longer purchase NS foods but are still working the plan with their own food. Those who delay their orders for extended times therefore are not using NS foods or reach maintenance and no longer subscribe to a purchased plan, etc.
I do understand how some might feel if the Challenge accepts non-NS individuals (those who have never purchased a NS plan) and yes, they should be highly encouraged to join NS.
I certainly will abide by guidelines, but like you said, I also think the Challenge should encourage everyone and not turn away anyone who desires what we want/have.
Hi Flo
I would hate to chase anyone away, some may not be able to pay for NutriSystem for a period of time or may be on a extended vacation. Cruise comes to mind as one circumstance. I have seen posts on the other forum from people that are stretched to the max and can not afford NutriSystem,even as affordable as it is.
Cheers
Roger
That's exactly what I was trying to point out, Roger, but wasn't as clear as I should have been.
Those who used to be on the foods, but delay or not order anymore or on maintenance, etc. (and, my etc. in my mind included anyone who didn't/couldn't purchase the foods). I also wanted to clarify that I don't think we should exclude them at all. The awesome support is what gets me through the day sometimes and I'd hate to think once I am not using all NS foods for what ever reason, that I would not be welcome.

Hey Donna. I know how you feel, I think. I will be out a lot in July and August traveling. Kinda dread it in a way although looking forward to seeing my children/grands. Still, it's stressful thinking about eating with them ... going out ... I, too, hope I can make wise choices.
I hope you have a fantastic time!!!!!!

Hi All
Look at that, it is already Thursday:)
I got out walking Yesterday and Today. I ended up following the same 2.75 mile route. I may walk tomorrow or not they are saying rain coming in tonight into tomorrow, There may be breaks in the weather that I can use or I'll just have an off day.
I watered the garden in the back yard when I got back and put all the hanging flower baskets (4) in the flower bed before I put the sprinkler on it so that area in front and the baskets got watered at the same time.
Have a Great Day

Hi dharris1014
What I would do is for breakfast: Eggs, Dry Rye or Whole Wheat toast and a slice of Canadian bacon or Ham watching the portions, No Potatoes My Local Diner puts enough Canadian bacon for several PFs for example.
Lunch: A Hot open Sandwich such as Pork or Turkey with the gravy on the side and be sparing of the gravy and ask for a Whole Wheat or Rye, Green beans or another safe Vegetable, No Potatoes again Salad with the Dressing on the Side if need to ask for that to be done. Or Maybe Roast Chicken or Lean Pork Chops.
Dinner: Mostly a rerun of Lunch
Also Look on the menu for healthy choices. Most Chains have menus online so You can look at the calories etc ahead of time and decide what to eat too.
Watch Your portion sizes, and get a doggy bag for the excess foods.
Good Luck

Hi Flo
See my reply to dharris1014 on how I would and do handle eating out. Being careful I have successfully eaten out at a Chinese Buffet too.
I eat the Well Drained to remove the sauce, Pork or Chicken Broccoli, The Green beans also drained. When they have it the Hibachi Pork. If I ate Seafood then I might have the fish filet or Crayfish or shrimp for example. They also often have a Lean Beef Roast You can carve a slice(s) off of too.
Just in case You are unfamiliar with them, from WikiPedia
"Crayfish, also known as crawfish, crawdads, freshwater lobsters, or mudbugs, are freshwater crustaceans resembling small lobsters"

Thanks, Roger. Great suggestions. I know in my head what I have to do. I just hope I have the strength to do it. First time and all, ya know??
Might rain my way, too. I don't have to get out tomorrow to do anything (except walk) so that's o.k. As long as we don't have storms.
Oh, BTW ... in college, I won a crawfish eating contest.

I had to do the same thing, Ginny. Been needing it for a while and getting my BWB motivated me really quickly. LOL

Yay, vacation day 1 is done, and I did better than expected. I actually stayed on plan and walked over 6 miles. Whew, walking downtown Disney was exhausting. Stay under calories, drank lots of water, and all that walking.

Crawfish... Now there's a food I think I've never tried... Not sure why, just haven't... Sounds good though!
Been busy the past couple of days... Saw Hairspray last night at The Muny and the show was fantabulous!!! Weather turned out to be perfect, as well. The theater is outside and at first, thought it was going to be a bit steamy, but turned out to be quite lovely with no rain. And met an old friend for dinner tonight, so that's back to back eating out dinner. Not terrible, but more calories in a meal than I should have & too much sodium...
Back at it tomorrow & can eat at home for the next 3 days...
