I'm starting NutriSystem effective tomorrow, just got my order in today! I'm anxious to see how the calorie count is each day eating what the guide tells me to. I figure it'll make my meal planning a little easier, being a SAHM, and my little one is such a picky eater! If anyone else is on it or starting it, feel free to sent me a friend request!

    I believe there are MFP groups for this if you want to find others who might be doing it :)

    No offense, but you're wasting your money.

    I just started Nutrisystem on Tuesday. I LOVE the food. I ordered mine on QVC. I loved the White bean chilli, the Kung Poa noodles, the Italian pizza, macaroni and beef with mashed potatoes. The chocolate covered pretzels are delicious. I hope you are successful. I just like not thinking about what to eat. IT'S GREAT!!!!!

    I thought about doing Nutrisystem but I don't want to spend the money on it. It is sooo spendy for just a month (and you still have to add food!) I just cook in between my 50+hour job, 3 kids + their activities, and gymming. My George Foreman grill saves my life.

    Congrats on your 53 pound loss! You do have a point about the cost PLUS the food to add. But it does give me a good guide to go by in the future. And good for you juggling all that AND cooking! I just have a toddler and I'm a SAHM, and I still get overwhelmed!

    I have a 5mth old, 3yo, and 9yo. I am omnipotent. Haha, not remotely. I find grouping meals on the weekend helps a ton. Frozen veggies, grilled meat in a rush. Occasional lean cuisine or healthy choice. It's mainly portion control. I can eat whatever I want but smaller than what I used to consume. Good luck. No clue where you are but there is a place in my area that actually makes fresh food daily (myfitfoods, my fitmeals) and it is about the same cost as nutrisystem but to me the taste is better. I have had a few NS entrees and they really just remind me of a lean cuisine or Healthy choice. Also, watch out on sodium on the frozen meals. They can get up there.

    Also, thank you. :) I still have a good ways to go but I am motivated very much!

    I agree, I have done Nutrisystem and it was a bunch of ultra processed foods that did not taste very good and was very expensive. It was an udder waste for me.

    I do however wish you luck as there are obviously a great amount of people that have had success using it and you might too!
