Hi Everyone! We got back from vacation on Monday. We had a wonderful time!!!! I gained 5 lbs, but I have lost 2.5 of them already - thank goodness!

I gave my weightloss situation some serious thought while we were away. I have decided to try Nutrisystem for at least 4 weeks. It is rather expensive, but I will cut back in other areas to make up for it. I figure if it goes well, I will give it another 4 weeks. MAYBE I will lose 15 lbs in 8 weeks! Basically, I just want to get this weight loss jump started. I have been starting and falling off the wagon for 2 years already. I am actually up 10 lbs in 2 yrs, rather than losing. I know Nutrisystem isn't a lifestyle, but I would just like to get back into some of my clothes. So beginning Monday, I will be on Nutrisystem. I will check in here still to keep everyone up to date on my progress. Keep your fingers crossed that this actually works for me.

How is everyone else doing? It is so QUIET on our board lately!!! Is everyone weighing in and following the program? Phyllis, are you ready for your vacation? That is coming up in 2 weeks right? Cathy, how goes everything with you?? Come on ladies, don't give up! You have to keep trying!!!!

Sharon~
Glad to see you back!!! Congrats on making a commitment to Nutrisystems. If it helps you jumpstart and teaches you portion control, which I figure that's what it does, that's great!!! I've been doing South Beach. I'm going into my 2nd week of Phase 1 and I lost a pound this week. Phyllis is calorie counting and is having a consistant weightloss weekly. So since you're back we can check in and keep each other updated on our progress.

Hi Ladies....

I am down one more pound. Looks like I'll make a 10 lb. loss for my vacation on Sept. 14....I had aimed for 20 but 10 is great progress and my clothes are getting pretty loose and I don't feel so bloated.

Good luck on the Nutrisystem, I did see there is a board here for that Sharon, maybe you can get some good tips there.

My friends are doing South Beach and I almost joined them, maybe when I get back from vacation. That's a good plan too once you get past the first 2 wks.

Yes, only about 1 1/2 wks until we go north to see the grandkids....we can hardly wait. Only thing to stop us would be a hurricane heading this direction. We lucked out here in Florida with the last storm and just had a little rain and wind which we are use to with tropical storms.

I'll ck back in next weekend to see how everyone is doing.

Doing a mix of 3hr. diet and calorie counting....

Good luck, Phyllis
