Hey Guys, I know a lot of you felt the go-to page was a good idea. So did I but I am going to make a change starting tomorrow. It does get quite a few posts but I really want it to be a page that everybody will want to use and go to. I believe the main purpose should be for members to share their weekly results. With the…

I actually had a NS moment. I went on Kingda Ka with my son, nephew and brother. For those of you not familiar with Six Flags Great Adventure, it is the tallest and second fastest roller coaster in the world. It launches you from 0-128mph in just 3.5 seconds and then up 456 feet. The technology used is similar to how…

I weigh in often and do not see it as a problem. That being said, I totally understand why some people, including my wife, prefer a weekly weigh in. If you want to keep it weekly but absolutely feel the need to use a scale, use this type:

Ours is Sunday and I am hoping to share some great results tomorrow.

The newbies will be looking for places to go. From what I read, it seems as if NS is trying to push people to Facebook. I believe we have a great resource here with some great people and we can help others by reaching out, which is what I have been doing since Randy set up this group. If you are on Facebook (Swati and I…

We've cleaned everything up and thought you wouldn't notice. :)

Swati and I will probably transition to weekends on our own once we hit our goals. NS is just so convenient for us, especially with respect to time spent buying and cooking food. We are saving big too. We are no longer eating out (which we did often) or picking up fast food. I picked up Wendy's for my son a couple of days…

My wife and I get the Great Shakes Sampler-28 pack. We both like it. I had a little issue trying to switch from just the chocolate and vanilla mix we started with and had to call in to make the change. That being said, the counselor I spoke with got it switched in less than two minutes. The Great Shakes Sampler comes with…

Welcome!

obie1nancy was kind enough to point out that the discussions page only shows the 10 most recently commented upon posts.

Hi Mitzi, I'll be praying for you to succeed as well. Also, please know it is totally normal for you to have a week with no loss or even a small gain. I am sure my wife Swati will be sharing her experience with you shortly.

It is to be used when someone posts something inappropriate or offensive (nudity, foul language, bullying, etc.). The picture I published of Randy in a Speedo does not count even though it is pretty offensive.

FYI - I just set up a new page where we can all enter our tickers. Now I really need to get back to work so I can continue paying for my NS meals. B)

Thanks for the shout out Chris but I did not start the group - that would be Randy. I have been making a regular effort to bring over as many good people as I can but that is as much for my own success as it is yours. Does that make me selfish? :# We really do have some great people on here.

Congrats on reaching the halfway point! And you are doing a great thing for Goodwill and yourself - once you give those clothes away, you will not be able to grow into them and will need to maintain your loss. I hope Goodwill is ready for some 44" pants because I have some for them.

As far as the ticker, I came across a statement by the company that was released in January. They made some changes to the site and tickers would no longer show up in posts but was a function that will be added back at some point. You can always cut and paste the code for your ticker in your post but I am sure that will…

Jen, 2.4 lbs - that's great! Congrats! I do too but I also know it is not the best strategy for everybody. I have the confidence and self control to go slightly off program without having additional cravings or overindulging. That wasn't always the case for me but it is now. In addition to compensating beforehand, I also…

Fit? Well not quite there yet but thanks. 4 lbs and resisting food that brings tears to your eyes? Sounds like a great week for you. Keep it up brother. We're rooting for you! PS: wish your son a Happy Birthday from us and enjoy the picnic.

My son's birthday was on Wednesday and we celebrated with my wife's parents. We ordered for my son and in-laws but Swati and I ate Nutrisystem that night. Yesterday, we celebrated with my parents. We gave my son the choice of any restaurant he wanted. He chose Tilted Kilt. What else would you expect from a 16-year-old-boy?…

Thanks Wen!

FYI - Swati is much more than just "MikeMusky44's wife". She is the most incredible woman I have ever met. She has been by my side for better and worse, richer and poorer, and in sickness and health. Without her I would not be the person that I am today. She is truly a fantastic wife and mother. She works at her regular…

Hi Jenni, Your dad was one of the first people on NS to send me a friend request. Although I only know him through the blogs, he seems like a really good guy. It's great that he started this group to bring us all together and you should be proud of him. My son actually just turned 16 yesterday. I hope you are helping your…

I joined that group as well but this group has many more of the bloggers from NS that I have gotten to know over the past couple of months. Both groups seem to be filled with good people.

Fortunately, I knew you had a good sense of humor. Fear not anyone else - I have no plans to transplant your heads.

Great - Now how the heck am I supposed to get this image out of my head? At least it ruined my appetite!

I'm Michael (Mike is fine too). My wife Swati and I joined NS on February 22nd. She is also a member of this group but has a "real" job and little time to post. I run our online business from home. Thanks in large part to many of the other people in this group, we have been pretty successful so far. I am down 29 lbs and…

Hey Randy, I got you a gift to thank you for setting up this group. Wear it well my friend.

Hi Suzi!
