Hi everybody - I was just reading to catch up. Val sounds like she is having a lot of fun as a road warrior. Val - sorry that I am late to the party but how's the ankle? Roger - I was intrigued about the stuffed chocolate pie and received my order late last week. I was a little disappointed that the crust is so thick but…

Hi Belle - yes please let us know how your blood work goes.

Love the added bonus of found money along with the health bonus of walking!

Honk when you are in Ohio! I'm in Columbus.... And the weight gain for me was after my hip replacement (you would think that improved mobility would have not resulted in weight gain but my mouth was never disabled :) so there in lies the problem. The surgery was followed by Thanksgiving, followed by Christmas, followed by…

Found the pies under Frozen. It says that it is Diabetes Friendly, Vegetarian and Frozen. I fear Roger that if you have shelf stable food coming today you may not be getting your chocolate pies. :/ Let us know please!

Agreed Roger - no counting steps while eating junk food either! Also, When I read your previous post about your walk this morning, you said, "I had a late start today & 6300 steps + 0 Cents.". What's the cents piece about. I remember you doing that but can't grasp the meaning of cents. Weighed in this morning and let's…

Thanks Jan - I just enjoyed a nice ripe juicy white peach from Jersey (even though I am back in OH) and I wish I could always think of the fruit more often when I go rogue - Iove it. Keep the fluids going and get those extra bathroom steps on the fitbit -it all works!

Hi all - hope everyone is well. I've been out of town for a bit and am back now - just in time to see the stuffed chocolate pie picture Roger shared. I couldn't seem to find it under snacks though. HI Val-where are you headed to on your trip? Hope you are feeling better soon. Jan - I am with you on the tops I can't fit…

thanks all for your suggestions and I am glad to be back amongst the "living". I say living because when I am putting my health (and weight) first I feel so much better physically. Friday morning is weigh in - I have not been on the scale so the shock is still to come. Numbers can't hurt me but my mindset can so I want to…

Roger - thank you for being here still. Its been along time since I've posted - I've been out of the loop for about 6 months and decided this morning that what I needed is help. This kind of help - discussing and sharing with like minded people about this plan to improve my health. Thankfully, I had this site bookmarked…

thanks Roger

Hello friends- back on the boards after a long hiatus. I am back on track with my program as well- dropped .6 this week and looking to re-lose about 20 lbs gained over the course of the past few months. Lots a reasons and excuses but that doesn't matter as I still have to do the work so time to get moving! And with my new…

Thanks for the pep talk and suggestions Roger - I sent a request for permission to the spreadsheet - not sure if I needed to do that or just post on the board

Happy Friday - I'm trying to get my head back into the game with Nutrisystem and struggling - anyone else in the same boat as me? Any words of wisdom for me? Thanks buddies

Thanks all for the warm welcome back! Nene - best of luck with the knees. I had lost 75 lbs before my ortho doctor saw me and told me 20-25 more for the new hip. I wanted to throw in the towel. Unfortunately, or fortunately you might say, my hip joint collapsed and I was in so much pain, he couldn't NOT operate :smile: .…

Hi all of my NS buddies and Happy New Year! All I can say is I NEED TO BE HERE :) Been off program and now I'm back. It's no fun that I now have to re-lose the weight I gained after surgery and the holidays but at least I recognize that NOW is the time! Since I had my hip replaced, I am so much better and able to walk…

Hi NS Buddies - I haven't posted for awhile but just read through some of the recent few pages and am happy that everyone is still here and posting! No WI to report as I finally had the hip replacement surgery on the 11th and right now my right leg is a bit swollen so I decided to wait until next week to start in with the…

Terri - also - congrats on the WI - every lb or ounce is one less.

Having just moved myself last weekend - I can feel your pain! Perhaps the grad students would work for beer? :)

Hi Val - I don't wear mine to bed anymore because it troubled me about the sleep I was not getting - probably kept me awake thinking about it :) I decided to just wear it during active periods...

NS Buddies - had my weekly WI this morning and lost again - total since starting NS - 81 lbs on the nose. I am very thankful for this. I am also thankful that after my visit to the ortho surgeon on Monday morning, he agreed to schedule me for a hip replacement - coming 11/11. 27 more days of this pain and then I get to go…

Roger - thank you for the posting about Shirl. I always looked forward to her postings and was even able to get some menu ideas from her. I know she suffered greatly and is at peace now but she was a pleasure to have in our virtual group and will be missed.

Terri - Great to hear about your NSV - that's something to crow about Love it when the smaller size fits and fits well!

Great - keep up the good work!

Hi NS buddies and Happy Friday. Thanks for cheering me on over the past few days. I finally got my head in the game again a week or so ago and my official WI this morning indicates 6 lbs gotten rid of this past week for a total NS loss of 76.8 lbs. It is as if I just started the program for the first time and this was my…

Thanks - I feel much better all around except the hip! I had the left one replaced in Nov of 2012 and it was the best decision I every made! I highly recommend it! The right hip was going to but chose the worst one to get it replaced. The good news is that they have a new procedure that is quicker recovery and less chance…

Good Day NS Buddies. Hope everyone is well. The rain began last night here in OH butit does not appear to be too heavy. Went this morning for my first Aqua therapy session- I am hopeful I can get more mobile and lose some pounds - down a total of 72.4 since NS start. Need to get rid of another 22.6 to then feel entitled to…

Hi Diva, FWIW I log the food I eat and check off the bottom for veggies and water. I don't count calories. I think your reference to using calories reminds me of the WW plan and to my knowledge, the NS program treats exercise as an enhancement not as a trade for additional food.

Hi NS Buddies - I've been away from the boards for quite a while. Not sure why except I ended up traveling alot and simply did not take the time to post.(*) It looks like everyone is doing fairly well and I love the support that you give. My program was at a standstill for a couple of months - gain 2 lbs, drop 2 lbs. I…

Good Morning all and Happy Friday! Official weekly WI this morning - up 1 lb. Decided not to vetch about it because I am quite happy with my progress and know I will see a result next week. Sometimes the scale isn't the measure of what we have done during the week. I say keep a positive attitude and stay on plan this…
