If you truly believe that measuring/weighing things will take up too much time, would you be willing to weigh/measure for a short period of time at least? What I mean is for several days, weigh and or measure everything. This will allow you to see what a proper portion size/serving size is for what you're eating. Then when…

I am interpreting your original post as wanting a list of some sort that you can quickly glance at in order to find a snack that has a certain number of calories. Could you go "old school" and make up a list of your most commonly eaten things and stick it to the fridge or make it a note in your phone? For example: 100g…

Hey look --- I am 27 and also clicked this thinking it applied to me. ;)

"Make it right with the next bite." Basically like everyone else is saying - just pick yourself up, dust your self off and move forward again. Don't let something behind you trip you up going forward. :)

I bought my food scale at Bed Bath and Beyond -- With one of the zillion coupons they send it ended up being cheaper than at Walmart or Target or Amazon.

I've started changing the "Hey lets grab dinner" to "Hey lets grab coffee." It gets rid of the food element for me and still allows the socialization. Another option is to hang out at someones house and have people bring food. That way you can bring something that you can eat without too much extra planning and then just…

I just tried and got this message when I clicked on the picture: Thank you for your interest in the updated Quest Bar recipe! Unfortunately we've run out of the current allotment of free bars. Just FYI

Really? What browser are you using? I am using FireFox and was just able to pull it up. I went to Nutrisystem.com Then clicked on View Menu (it is in the same line as Shop Plans, How It Works, Success Stories, Tools and the big orange Order Now button) The next page takes a little while to load (no idea why) Then you have…

If you go to the NS site and click View Menu it should show you all of the food that they offer broken down into their respective categories. If for some reason that doesn't work, you could just post specific foods and people could tell you if they are lunch or dinner. General rule of thumb: all of the frozen lunches are…

This thread on the NS Refugees message board has people's "experiments" with the Frozen A la Cart option: http://ns-refugees.freeforums.net/thread/1390/la-carte-frozen-available Looks like you CAN add frozen a la cart to your AD to save 20% BUT you have to order $50 of it to get the free shipping. It doesn't matter if your…

It was on the NS site where you manage your next order. Also, I just got an email about it. I think the issue is though, regarding the shipping, is that they have to send the frozen stuff separately. So the cost of that shipping has to come from somewhere. So *IF* you were able to add it to your AD and save the 20%, for…

I did. I was in the mood for a change so I updated my profile picture. :)

Y'all -- Remember a while back (when the NS boards were still around) when suddenly a batch or two of the White Bean Chicken Chili was WAY more spicy than normal? Well.... Looks like I finally got around to eating one of those. As someone from Texas who knows a thing or two about spice, I gotta say.... It helped me knock…

Yes! So glad! haha

Hello Friends! I hope everyone is doing well. I have had a lot going on lately and have not been staying on plan. A lot of days I was hardly eating anything and then when I would finally eat something it was usually not NS food/comparable. But, I have finally settled down and seem back to normal so, it is back on the NS…

Hello Everyone! I officially upgraded my plan to include frozen so that's kind of exciting for me. I took out all of the food that they "picked" for me and picked my own. I have some likes (although not really any dislikes) from the frozen sampler that I had but I am still trying pretty much everything once. While there…

Miranda - That is the kinda tip I was looking for. haha. Maybe I could put it on some type of 'tray' on the grill to get the smokey flavor but NOT lose all the good stuff. As for the Fruit versus SC -- I just kinda assumed that it was like when the dinners tell you to add a roll and you can add any SC that you want. That…

I am 99% certain that the stuffed chicken breast is precooked and that we are merely heating it back up in the microwave. Poultry must be cooked to an internal temperature of 165* so since the instructions only say to heat to an internal temperature of 140*, I am inclined to believe that it has been cooked already. Also,…

I did know that an SC needs to be added to the omelet in order to "complete" the meal. Thanks! Does anyone have any idea if you can /how to cook the (froze ) stuffed chicken breast on the grill? I was toying with the idea but figured I'd see if it had been tried before. I did SO GOOD this weekend y'all. I didn't eat NS…

I know all too well about humidity. According to my phone we are currently at 64% humidity. Lovely. Starting on Sunday and going through at least Friday, we have a chance of thunderstorms and a bit of a cool front. Highs of 95. August has been nicknamed ugg-ust around here. haha I think that one cinnamon bun was included.…

Glad you had a nice "vacation" Willow! I don't remember if I mentioned it but I added the Select 10 Frozen Sample Pack to my last AD so that I could try some more of the frozen meals to see if I wanted to upgrade to the frozen. I had tried the breakfasts but figured I should try the other meals too before committing. The…

Hello All! I hope August is treating you well and that you are not melting your faces off. Been a bit busy in my neck of the woods and the "community" tab of the app hasn't been working on my phone which is weird. Glad to see that you are enjoying your daily walks, Roger. I will try not to curse your weather TOO much. haha…

Holy wow - It seems that I've not posted here in quite some time (Since July 16). No real excuse, as I've been logging my food -- Well most of it most of the time ;) I seem to be the odd man out with the coffee thing. I have no issues adding in creamer/sugar free syrups/ sugar substitute/ milk / flavored coffee and any…

Hello Everyone, Willow - So glad that you are feeling better! Roger - Doesn't it always seem like repair costs never come one at a time? I mean really. haha Carin - I can imagine how exhausting it is going away every weekend (not to mention that DH was having to plan his routes around going from airport to airport), so it…

Kudos to you for continuing on your walk, Roger! In regards to yogurt - I almost always have a Light and Fit with either breakfast or morning snack. That's why I didn't think to have a second one with my lunch - I'd always heard that you should try to limit dairy. But I guess on the days that I would have a yogurt with my…

Oh and I don't have all of these things in my AD so it appears that it is just a generic email ... For what that's worth.

Well.... Yes and no. Basically ever since November of last year I had been ... I can't even say half assing it because I gained quite a bit back. I was half heartedly following the plan and thus between November and May, I would have to return 2 bears if NS made you return the bears. haha. BUT, on May 30 I stepped on the…

Happy Friday everyone! It is a WONDERFUL and historic Friday indeed! We got some insane rain yesterday - but it didn't cause any issues or anything. But still -- I'm over it. You can have the rain Willow! haha. And we even have more predicted for the weekend. It's sunny right now so I guess that's something. haha.

I did not do well on Sunday -- I mean it was better than Pre-NS but by no means "On Plan." But... I got right back on track yesterday. That's the most important part, right? :) Have a wonderful day everyone!

Glad you are feeling better :) Like Willow said -- There really is a difference between a "dry" heat and hot and humid. haha. And I guess they just kinda get used to it. Like people who get snow and go days on end with temperatures not going above freezing. I don't know how people do THAT. haha. Luckily for us, the rain /…
