    Hi Sue
    I have been working on it since January of 2014. I think part of it is that when I started I decided to get the 10 days of frozen plan to have more variety. More selection = less temptations.
    Once I discovered that CostCo held sales on $100 gift cards for $59.99 I upgraded to the as much frozen as You want plan and probably ended up spending less with that discount than I was on the 10 day plan paying 100%.

    I believe that I am very fortunate that I can resist most temptations as long as I do not start.
    I can go into McDonalds and Dunkin Donuts and walk out with only a Large Black Coffee. I am not tempted since starting NutriSystem.

    The added walking seems to be helping too.
    Cheers

    I think the creation of tickers has some sort of glitch, dharris.

    You can click on Apps above, then click on tickers and see if you can create one. A few are having problems making new ones.

    Congrats on your weight loss. I bet you get that 40 pound bear next week. :smile:

    Thanks, I hope so too.

    Not that I ate crazy or anything..just not getting the right amount of PF and SC.
    Gonna start paying better attention to what goes in my mouth. I want to hit my goal of 10 lbs lost this month!

    I am posting this here too.
    Hi All
    It is Tuesday and not the best looking day outside. My Achievements so far today.
    1. Renew the license for NIS AV on the big computer. I bought the 3 license package when NewEgg had them on sale.
    2. Eat my Banana
    3. Walk to McDonalds for a Large Black Coffee @ $1.07 with tax and 2.15 miles wound trip walk, Counting the stop to buy the Coffee and the stops to drink from the cup on the way back home, 1 Hour 20 Minutes. :)
    4. Toast my NS Waffles and drink the NS Vanilla Protein Shake, Breakfast now officially done.
    5. Renew the NIS AV License on this computer, One more to go later. I waited til it was the last day, Why throw away time You paid for? :)
    6. Post Broccoli & Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breast review in the NS Food reviews group here.
    7. Come here and this is the first post in this group I am replying to.

    Have a Really Good Day

    Hi Sue
    Not being tempted into cheating is a big win in my book, Congratulations on that.
    On the CostCo sale all You can do is keep checking until they go on sale again. I seem to recall they went on sale several times last year.

    OTOH even at the regular CostCo price of $79.99 for $100 of face value, If You are out buy enough each month for that order until the extra $$ off sale comes. A smaller discount is still a discount :)

    Good Luck

    W/I 174.6
    total loss 32 pounds!

    All the great losses are so inspiring to me. I have been in a funk, but determined to charge on. My big nemesis for weight loss was bread. I always ate whole grain wheat bread, but that might be all I ate for breakfast, lunch and snacks. Give me some toast with a big slice of cheese and I was a happy camper. Never added butter and jam, which actually may have been better for me than the cheese. We decided to save the planet, so I joined Nutrisystem. Sounds weird, I know, but just read on.

    My absolute favorite part of the loaf is the heel. I always ate them first just toasted with melted cheese. We moved to the river and Chuck (DH) started feeding MY heels to the stupid birds. I got to where I hated those birds. Then I got to know Ben the Wren and I started feeding him my heels. Ben acquired a wife (Ben’s Babe) and I started feeding her too. I actually started to feel bad if I ate a piece of bread because I was taking the food from the mouth of babies. Bird babies that is. That’s when I realized I was beginning to conquer my bread addiction and saving the planet one baby bird at a time. The big light came on and I realized I couldn’t save much planet using bird scratch. I decided to joined Nutrisystem to conquer my over consumption of food products and in doing so, I could save the planet. Hey, any excuse will do no matter how twisted my reasoning may be. LOL

    Speaking of the planet, it was 101 degrees here Sunday and 102 degrees Monday. Today is looking like it might be hotter. Last year we had 14 days in a row in triple digit. Hope that won’t be the case this year.


    Have a great day!

    That was too funny. I was right with you up 'til the birdies part. :) I just LOVE bread. Certainly my downfall. I thought I had to have bread with every single meal. And, fresh bread? Garlic? Yeast? Oh, my goodness. Make a meal off bread alone.

    That was sweet about the birds.

    Hot here, too, but not triple digits ... yet. I so hate the heat. But, since losing a little weight, I can tolerate being outside a lot better ... so far.

    Oh Linda Kay...I am so with you on the bread...my one true addiction. I posted on another thread that 12 grain bread and I are in the midst of a "fling" and we have to break up. Starting right here, right now. It is amazing to me how little small changes can really throw off my program...or conversely put me back on the straight and narrow. So today's small change is no more 12 grain bread!! One achievement at a time to get back on the path!

    I went to get my Frozen veges out of the Freezer and oops, all out so All I had was 1 1/4 small head of lettuce yesterday.



    Small heads up, If anybody uses Dannon Light & Fit Greek Yogurt I bought some at Costco this morning, It was $3 off which made it $10.99 for a box of 18 or approx. 61 cents per container, Only three flavors but a darn good price as I see it.


    Hi All
    I walked the 1.3 miles to the bank this morning and then came home and had my NS Frozen Pancakes and NS Chocolate Protein shake for breakfast, I had my Banana before the walk. Then at 9:45 I left the house for Costco and picked up Two 5 pound bags of Frozen veges, two L&F Greek Yogurt, Gala Apples, Clementines and a 32 pack of Duracell AAA batteries @ $14.99. Total for the order was $65+, Now Including the NS food on hand I am good for the next three weeks for Grocery store items, excluding a trip to the produce store for Bananas in two days. Then I stopped at McDs for two large Black Coffees for my Brother & I. I am just waiting for him to come back from the ShopRite so I can help carry in the Groceries, Notably the SR water on sale @ $2.88 per case of 24 in the plastic wrap pack, No cardboard box in it. Bottom line 1.3 miles plus the Costco walking. It was getting hot out this morning already too.

    Have a Great Day

    Hi Linda Kay
    I'm unhappy that it will hit around 90 today, Triple digits? Yuck
    Darn breads are a diet killer. Some are so good, for example the fresh breads from the Italian Deli.

    Hi All,

    I just posted on the Early Risers Thread that I would drop in and immediately join this Challenge. I've been struggling a bit lately. I'm maintaining my loss...but that is NOT losing and I need to get focused again. So today is THE day! I am 100% so far today, through breakfast and lunch and have my dinner planned out so there is no need to worry. I've done this plan for many months now and there is NO reason why I can't continue. So here and now I am committing to myself and you all that I WILL get this done! Whew...that is bold and brave...but basically that is what it takes, believe in yourself and you CAN accomplish what you set out to do. Man, does that feel good!

    Thank you Roger :-)

    Nice walk, Roger. You do such a good job doing that ... walking almost everywhere.

    You really use good sense shopping, don't you? I'm impressed.



    Hope everyone had a wonderful day today.
