    Hi
    I see some of us have already made it here.

    I sure do appreciate the speed here.
    I'll be creating some tutorials here on the link below.
    Need a Tutorial on using this community? Feel free to request
    Later on today. I think I will start with the simple one that will let You save AKA Archive a entire message thread.

    Then Maybe a longer one about Using the My Fitness Pal Food Log and how to print it out, Very Simple Actually, and then Maybe after or maybe before How to Customize it to Your Plan.

    Cheers
    Roger

    P.S. You can Toggle Full Page so as to have more content when replying. Just look in the upper right corner on the same level as the other functions for Two Arrows pointing up and down on the diagonal.
    You can edit for one hour after posting too. Look for the Small Icon that looks like a gear in the same area.

    P.P.S. Hit the Home key to go back to the top of the page and look at other messages.

    I hope these simple tips are not to simple. :)

    Hi Friends,
    I'm still struggling with this new place but am just so happy to have a home. How do I add a picture?
    On the old NS site there is a really sweet, funny thread "memories ". I think SF is sharing some funny pictures and stuff. Great to read about happy times. Warning......there is also some "no filter, gloves are off" comments that the moderators are letting fly. I was unaware of such conflict.
    Have a great day! Eat the food, drink the water and move a little. Hugs

    Hi Nene
    If You just want to add a picture to a post. it is the same process as on NS, just a different looking Icon. Look for the Black Rectangle with the folded down top right corner. If You mean a signature that will be more involved. I will be writing a simple tutorial for that process but it will still have to be added each time. :(

    Good Luck

    I have question about auto delivery. I expected my auto delivery to ship April 20 like it said. I contacted NS and they said it was still in process. . Tonight it was shipped but not showing up on Fed Ex tracking yet. Is this usual? I will move up my next auto delivery I think..I could run out of NS food over the weekend!

    Same thing happened with my last order, so I've moved the next one up. If you run out remember Wal-Mart sells the 5 day boxes.

    Hi y'all
    I need a like button on here.... oh well lol. Anyway I got a response to the email that I sent to NS customer service. Notice the reply came from the counseling team not customer service....

    Hello Lesa,

    Thank you for contacting the Nutrisystem Counseling Team. I am sorry to hear that you feel as if you are losing your support with the elimination of the discussion boards.

    First off, I do want to congratulate you on your amazing weight loss! 22lbs in 5 weeks is absolutely awesome! Our counselors are here to offer support, motivation, and answers to all of your questions. Also, if Facebook is too public, our YouTube channel is more private.

    We want to ensure your program goes smoothly and that you receive the support and encouragement you need to succeed. If you have any counseling questions we are here to help! Please feel free to reach out to us. Counselors can be reached for phone support and online chat from 7 A.M. - 12 A.M., 7 days a week at 1-800-585-5483, option 3. It is our priority to make sure every step is a successful one for you, Lesa.
    Sincerely,

    The Nutrisystem Counseling Team


    It irritates me that they assume since I was expressing my displeasure about their decision to take away the boards that they should just forward my complaint to counselling.

    But on the bright side, here we are and I hope everyone comes over and joins us.

    It is so good to see everyone here! I even lost a lb.!

    Lesa- I think that they just refer counselors now because the other support service is gone.(?) I miss the like button,too!

    Roger-Your losing weight harder at 50 site seems to be taking off! LOL!

    Yes Lesa, I have decided to do this too. I seem to have dinners and short on breakfast, dessert and snacks. With the help of this new site, I think I can control this weekend, as it is cheating my calories to keep me in check.

    Happy weekend everyone!

    Hi
    I usually get the email the day they create the shipping information. I believe that the process is create the shipping information and tracking email at the time the order is going to the warehouse to be picked and shipped. Then Ship, usually withing 24 hours. FedEx tracking will not update until FedEx picks up the shipment. I can track it the next morning.

    Have A Good Day

    Hi Lesa
    I believe the best we can do is send a friend request. Tradeoffs, Speed & Permanence vs features on the soon to be gone NS Forum.

    Cheers

    Hi
    What I did was move the next delivery up a week to ensure a buffer of food and then I also ordered A La Carte individual meals or Sample packs in that same Auto Delivery to bring what food I had back into balance.

    FWIW Since I am using the NS Gift cards from the $59.99 Costco sale when I do this the A La Carte foods are slightly less than 1/2 of the displayed Price. 20% Auto Delivery Discount than take that 80% and take 40% off of it so a $5 item becomes $4 then times 0.6 (the 60%) final price becomes $2.40. If You only buy the cards at the 80% Costco normal discount then the final price becomes $3.20 for a $5 item.

    Good Luck
    Roger

    Hi y'all
    Went to the Dr today for my 2 month diabetes check. Happy to report that I no longer need insulin. A1C is down from 7.2 to 6.1! My blood pressure meds have been reduced by half because my blood pressure is actually low.

    Can't begin to tell you how excited I am about this. I celebrated by buying a few new clothes. Jeans and tops both two sizes smaller!!!

    Hope everyone is having a great day

    Hi all, I've made it over here (I was MS_SPOCK over on NS) -- but not sure how to do much -- will have to go find Roger's tutorials.
    Also, is there a way to make the latest posts be on top in reverse order, so I don't have to page through it all?
