Hello all,

I just started nutrisystem for the second time.

Before starting NS for the first time, I lost 30 pounds on my own and then turned to NS. On NS, I lost 30 pounds. I lost a combined total of 65 pounds, but never reached my goal weight.

Fast forward 7 years and I have gained 20 pounds- mostly within the past few months and I can pinpoint it to finishing law school, taking the bar exam, planning a wedding, and gaining some post wedding weight. Well, I am ready to shed the 20 pounds and an additional 10 so that I can reach my goal weight!

I loved the NS blogs and community and am very sad they are gone. It was nice to log on and be part of such a supportive community...it really helped me stay motivated and focused.

I am looking for friends who have the same goal of becoming healthier. Please feel free to add me and we can keep each other company on this journey :)

Also, I would love to be involved in any challenge groups!
