    Hey everyone!

    My name's Ricky and I'm currently about 538lbs.

    I know it's a LOT!

    I've been walking daily and am currently eating healthy through Nutrisystem.

    And the support on here has been amazing so far! It really makes the weightloss journey more bearable when you have friends cheering you on!

    I'm always on the lookout for more friends, one can never have too many! So you if you'd like to be friends, feel free to add me!

    And if we're already friends.... THANK YOU!

    :)

      You can add me, too! I'll be cheering you on. Keep up the good work. I had 90 pounds to lose when I started NS last November. I've lost almost 45 pounds so far. I am halfway to my goal, which I can't believe. You can do this!

      Yay! You made one of the hardest decisions, that's to get healthy! We'll figure it out. I'm only 20lbs in of 150. I have to make it. I'm going to add you!

      You can totally add me: brendiux1987! I can use the motivation as well..... I'm wanting to lose about 50+ lbs. and I know how the weight loss journey can get tough sometimes. But when you have people cheering you on and you feel the pressure of accountability things get a tiny bit easier. :)
      I just bought a Fitbit band (Charge HR) it's been helpful. Idk if you have one but if you do add me! The challenges are kinda fun and add friendly competition ;)

      Add me :-) :-) I have 146lbs to lose. I'll still be a bit heavy but I like being thick. I'll be healthier for my kids though, and for me. My goal is to get to 220.

      I am a newbie and just started my Nutrisystem plan today. I was quite disappointed that Nutrisystem took away the support system of blogs and community boards. I am here hoping to find other Nutrisystem members. I would love to support one another! :smiley:

      I lost about 20 lbs on nutrisystem then plateau'd for 3 months. Watch out for carbs and salt intake with nutrisystem. 1 good thing it teaches you and gets your body used to is portion control. However, the food isn't the greatest. You generally pay around $5/dinner, $3 for the lunches, around $3 for the breakfasts. Ala Carte with the 3 month membership for $30 isn't bad and you get a 30% discount. All in all i am glad i tried nutrisystem, however, i am moving onto more healthy foods now and mainly fixing my own meals and measuring things out. You will find out how much things have through myfitnesspal which gave me a good indicator what i was lacking in my meals. If you like spicy, the white bean chicken chili is one of my favorites :) stay away from the un-refrigerated meatloaf and potatoes, that isn't meat.
