"My good news is that today I finally started [my diet]. It's 4:45, and I'm doing great. If the first step is the hardest, then it should be a piece of cake (completely without calories, of course) from here on in." - Lora J.

"I have been on NutriSystem and have lost 11 pounds. Yee-ha! But that is not even the most exciting thing. The most amazing thing is the way I feel. I no longer want to crawl under my desk at 3 p.m. and take a long nap.

I don't get heartburn at night anymore, which was a constant for the last year. Last but not least, I am truly happy with myself for the first time in a long long time. Thank you, NS. I am the will, but you are definitely the way!" - Twanna R.

"About two years ago, I became totally fed up with my body. I was 47 years old and felt like 90. I had no energy, my size 12s were getting tight around the waist and across the back, my thighs were rubbing together, my upper arms were flapping when I waved, and sometimes, I felt like I was going to explode. No matter what I ate or how healthy I thought I was eating, the pounds kept adding on. I am 5'10" and weighed 174 pounds. I decided to call the NutriSystem center close to my home. NutriSystem seemed so easy to incorporate into my life.

After 4 months on NutriSystem, I lost 20 pounds. Then I simply took what I learned using the NutriSystem entrees and the meal planning and worked it into my daily life. From January '99 to April '99, I lost another 20 pounds just eating my own food. I also became accustomed to the water intake. I drink about 73 oz of water a day now. Energy came back. I felt like doing projects around the house. I had my self-confidence and self-esteem back.

Now, two years later, I'm still a thin 130 pounds (size 8). Even my boss asked me to set up his meal planning, and he's lost 25 pounds. Everyone around me is drinking gallons of water and watching what they eat.

NutriSystem showed me how to eat, not what to eat. Nutrition is the key. If you eat right, eventually your cravings will subside. Learning portion control is important, also. NutriSystem gave me the portion size for my meals, and I just added the fresh vegetables and fruit.

I'm a firm believer in NutriSystem. My girlfriend and I tried another program, and I never lost an ounce. I still need the support to keep on track. Sometimes it's easy to slip into old routines, especially around a busy day. NutriSystem is giving people that support. The open communication is great. Thank you for giving me back my body and my health." - Peggy O

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart! After watching 2 other family members just undergo bariatric surgery to lose weight as a last resort, I was sure that nothing short of that was going to work for me either! I have just finished my 4th week on your program and I am RID OF 16 POUNDS! I feel really good about this because even though I still have more to go, I know that I am headed in the right direction and this is just the "kick in the butt" I've been looking for to keep me motivated. Your prepackaged food helps make this a real no-brainer. Thanks, again!" - Maria S

"Just wanted you to know I've lost 12 pounds in my first 3 weeks on NutriSystem. It really works and is easy to stick to. Thank you NutriSystem. I am looking forward to a fond bon voyage to the other 40 pounds." - Stacey N.

"Thank you NutriSystem for being here! Over six year ago, I met my goal of losing over 70 pounds at a local center in NY. Happily, I kept most of it off and am back to the program to lose the 20 I gained over the past 3 years, and an additional 20 for my new goal-a more ideal weight. Thank you for being here. The program worked for me when I was younger, and I have no doubt it will work again! It's nice to participate in this new forum-and good to know that many familiar foods are still good and available! Thank you NutriSystem for helping me meet my goals!" - Diana C

"I wanted to say that I have just ordered my first week of food, and it should be here in a few days. I compliment the program on what looks like a great effort toward helping people reach their weight loss goals. I have gone into your chat room several times already. In fact, that is why I decided to join. Every member had nothing but great things to say about the program. The food, the counselors, the interaction with other clients...it all sounds wonderful. I can't wait to start the program. Thanks" � Debby

"I just wanted to let you know that being on this program has really changed my life. I have a better outlook on life, a spring in my step, and a constant smile on my face. Guess you could say I am really Happy2Bme, thanks to NutriSystem. I have found the chat room a great source of encouragement and the ladies and gentlemen there to be both fun and encouraging. Thank you so much to my counselor who has made this transition to a healthier lifestyle so much easier than I ever expected. I am 47 pounds lighter, and I no longer say I am dieting but have changed my lifestyle. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!" - Caroline

"I just want the whole world to know, NutriSystem, that I lost a whopping five (5) pounds my first week on the NutriSystem "way of life." I am so pleased and happy; words cannot express my adulation!

Overall the food was delicious and very satisfying. I was never hungry. Keeping a diary really helped, because it helped me stay within the 1200-calorie program I am following.

Also, thank you for the prompt delivery service to my door. That, too, is so convenient!

Thanks, NutriSystem; I could not have done it without you." - Mrs. Annette C.

"Today I feel like I could cry, not from sadness but from real joy. After being on the NutriSystem plan for about 13 weeks now, I have met my goal. I am now 5'9" and weigh 135 pounds. I have lost a total of 33 pounds on the plan and feel and look great. I would like to tell everyone on the plan: stick to it, and you too will meet your goal. Oh, what a wonderful feeling it is! When I first started NutriSystem, I had lost all hope of ever coming back from the weight I had gained. But I said, "Ok, you're going to try this," as I came across NutriSystem on the web. I am so glad I did. Today I am at goal and feel like I'm on top of the world. Thanks, NutriSystem!" - Lida

"I started NutriSystem seven months after my last chemotherapy treatment. I was already overweight, but gained 18 more pounds. Everything was tight, my clothes, my rings, I felt the fullness in my face. I didn't like it. I went back to work, a teacher, I had nothing to wear. I squeezed into my clothes. I had to do something. I was depressed with knowing I had cancer, yet happy it was over, and depressed at what I looked like. NutriSystem was so easy. Everything was all prepared, nothing to measure, so simple. It was easy to take to work with me. The food is really delicious. I lost 17 pounds! I feel great and look good! If I can do it, anybody can." - B.H.

"I have been on NutriSystem for almost 5 weeks now and am so proud to say I have lost 20 pounds. I love this diet! I have now ordered my second shipment of food and love all of it (well, almost all). I have rheumatoid arthritis very bad and have just too much weight on my joints. With losing weight, I have found I do not hurt so much. I can even walk every day now, which is great for me. I have to say this is the best diet I have tried and been successful with. I am sure I will be able to achieve my goal of losing 50 pounds now. I love NutriSystem!" � Sharon

"I am a diabetic on an insulin regimen and just since being on NS for three weeks, already my requirements for insulin have started to decrease. I'm working closely with my NS counselor who encourages me to keep in contact with my physician and who is supporting me through all of this. Thank God for NS! I feel like for the first time in years, that I might be able to do this." - Kathy S.

"Just had to say that the counselors are great. They are so helpful and nice. I've been on twice with them in the past two days and they have answered my questions and taken care of what I needed. It's great to have that kind of support right at your fingertips." � Monica
