I too agree , the question was anyone on nutrisystem...if your not thats fine go to a different thread and post there. I too like nutrisystem. I even like the food. The frozen is far better than the packaged but most is quite good. I've lost 64 pounds now since Sept. 2016 so its working for me. When I first joined mfp there were a lot of people who all were overweight, struggling and were trying different methods that worked / or didn't work for them. When I rejoined this time the atmosphere is different . My motto live and let live. Each person is a individual with different wants and needs, somehow in this world we all need to learn not to be judgmental and just accept one another, offer advise only when asked, and meanwhile support each other.5

Why must answers be an attack on OP? She chose nutrisystem and asked if anyone else has had success. She does not need to be told, very rudely, that she will fail and never learn how to cook/eat correctly.7

I do nutrisystem, I get it delivered to my home monthly now every other month. I've done very well on it, its good, while it seems expensive, its not all that bad. You do have to make meals yourself two days a week, or not your choice. I've lost 64 lbs since Sept 2016. I did learn portion control from doing these meals. I still log and count my calories. Its not just have food delivered and not think about what your eating.
I wonder how many of the people riding their high horses to death on this topic ever use a personal trainer.

Not really sure why this has turned into a mean people thread? Yeah the first couple of replies were a little dismissive, but otherwise it seems to me OP has gotten a lot of thoughtful and honest answers. She asked a yes or no question so why shouldn't someone answer "no" and explain why? Maybe that info could help her.
Judging by the OP'S responses throughout the thread, it seems she was doing just fine with the responses she was getting. And 2 of the 3 pages are people saying good things about Nutrisystem, or suggesting she buy grocery store frozen meals instead to save money.
Maybe some of you aren't reading the whole thread, but you really should if your going to post a judgement of the community!
Anyway, as I said earlier in the thread, I personally think the frozen meals you can buy in the supermarket taste better and they're cheaper. There is nothing special about Nutrisystem food, it's just portion controlled. But if you like it go for it. And I think it's important to still eat mindfully and pay attention to the portion size and meal makeup so that someday when you want to stop eating it you've learned how to eat anything at the right calorie level. And it sounds like OPs got this , so good luck OP 2 -

Have you considered an Instant Pot electric pressure cooker? There are tons of recipes.....you can heat up food,make soup,pasta dishes....whatever you like.Something to look into.Good luck with your diet plan.I think most plans work,as long as you work it as it's meant to be done.0

This.
I can agree with this.0 -
I've heard their meals aren't any good. I prefer to eat regular foods and just measure/weigh everything out because for me it seems more realistic for the long run. Good luck to you!0

Personally, i couldn't do it, I'd get sick of it after a few days and would be badly craving fresh, whole "real" foods.
Me either. If I eat a frozen meal of any kind, even the low cal kind - I get bloated from all the sodium and see a weight gain every time.

Not sure how to feel about this thread.. I'm going to try Nutrisystem next week and as the OP said its working for her I'm hoping it will work for me. I did add up every single food item I bought for 3 entire months and averaged it. I found that Nutrisystem will be about $40 cheaper. I buy healthy groceries, meal prep and use portion control. I figure if its cheaper than what I already spend on similar foods why not give it a shot? If I don't like the food I can send it back within 14 days and get my money back.. I feel like its still worth a shot despite the negative comments on this thread.0

I Want to say Thank you for all your opinion but I using NS for a while, before being in truck I cooked all the time and all I ate was healthy food .. so I do know how to cook
This is just so I can lose some weight than I'll changed to different food, but for now this is easier for me and I love there food and options.
I also eat lots of veggies and fruits aND my defused water with fresh fruit and veggies and herbs.. I do know how to eat healthy seeing I was a nurse for 27 yrs..
And yes I only asked if anyone was using NS
Thank you all for all your comments

Did you factor the extra produce you're supposed to buy into that calculation? My understanding of the Nutrisystem program is that it's intended that you supplement the meals (essentially, add bulk and extra nutrition) with fresh vegetables (and possibly fruit). It's possible that's an older version of the program that I'm thinking of, but that's how I read it worked.0 -

I didn't.. so maybe I will break even. If I lose a couple pounds then great but if not at least I didn't waste money. I would have spent about the same on groceries anyway.0 -
I apologize if my comments were perceived as negative. I thought the OP was asking for opinions on it. I tried it and really hated the taste of it. Didn't think that was rude or anything, but oh well. If the OP took it that way, I sincerely apologize for being negative.1

Winejunky, (I love your name : ) Feel free to add me as a friend if you would like. My diary is open. It may give you some examples of what I eat with my Nutrisystem meals. You didn't say if you was getting the frozen meals or just the shelf stable meals, but I get them both. They have improved the meals a lot in the past 10 years. I was on NS shelf stable back in 2007.0 -
I'm not, but I once got to try their Mushroom Risotto, and I thought it was pretty good.0
