Nutrisystem: Week 26 & 27: Save & Lose

September 13, 2011 By Lori Leave a Comment

Well, I am slowly going down again and am down another 1 pound. I think I am back to 11 pounds down. Not too bad considering the Texas wild fires have preoccupied me, plus kindergarten, cheerleading, preschool and everything else!

I’ll be honest, I never realized what a stress eater I was until I had to get real with this weight loss plan. I absolutely LOVE the program and am so glad to be on it, and though I thought I would have been down quite a bit more by now, I am keeping on keeping on despite my own shortcomings in sticking with it!

But the fact that I managed to stay on track this week despite everything else going on, and not feel hungry, and not slipping too much, is a credit to the ease of use of Nutrisystem. And why I am glad I have a few more months to try to get this right and really log in some poundage lost!

Nutrisystem Week 23: UNStunned!

August 14, 2011 By Lori 1 Comment

Well – finally. After flailing miserable at what to do to get my hiney in gear and get this program right, I have had a GOOD week!

I lost 4.2 pounds this week!

Yep – from 161.4 that stunned me like mad last week to 157.2. In one week!

Now, I am still 2 up from my low on this program but that is a pretty nice week no matter how you cut it!

What’s funny though is that 3 people have asked me if I have lost weight! I’ll take it but I know I have floundered and struggled along the way.

One think that totally surprised me this week is that I am IN LOVE with the Soy BBQ Chips! I never thought I would like them and now I wish I had 20 more bags! They are yummalicious and rival the BBQ chips you get in the store for 50x the fat and calories!

Seriously, I am loving that I talked to a Dietician and ordered the way I did. I am surprised at how much I like the foods I did not think I would like!

So downward we go on the scales again. I have an event in October where I might be on TV and I really want to be in the 140′s by then!

So motivation and dedication might just keep me on the straight and skinny!

Nutrisystem Week 22: Stunned!?!

August 5, 2011 By Lori Leave a Comment

Well – I thought I did good! I thought I had it allll worked out and I was going to be the envy of all Nutrisystem Bloggers this week.

Instead I GAINED 2 pounds – back up to 161.4?

I am going to chalk it up to ‘that time in nature when I am retaining water’ and that I might be gaining some muscle from some work outs? Otherwise it makes no good sense!

But I will tell you that I am IN LOVE with the new meals I ordered! I seem to have more energy and could eat the Trail Mix Bar from dawn til dusk, and as a midnight snack!

It has to be better than any other bar I have purchased at the store! And the fact that it is a Nutrisystem meal is just icing!!!

I am so sad that I only ordered 3! Next month I will order 40… ok, maybe just 5! LOL

That and the Peanut Butter and Jelly Bar are making me a very happy weight loss lady!

So onward and through this journey I travel, knowing that every step towards a healthier lifestyle is a step towards a happier me!

And relishing in the constant support and education I am getting from the Nutrisystem plan!

I KNOW this is going to work and so onward I go – hoping for a record week!

Nutrisystem Week 21: Back on Track!

July 29, 2011 By Lori Leave a Comment

Well it is week 21 and I am thrill to be making serious changes!

I did get on the scale last week and had climbed back up to 160 pounds. Which meant I had only lost 8 pounds – because I gained 6 back.

This made me sad. Very very sad.

It made me even more frustrated that my kids did not want to do the project I wanted to do with helping me remember to eat. Every time I brought out the colors and stickers, they would grab them and run off and I would stop trying in frustration.

At about the time I was going to email my contact and tell her that I did not have what it took to be true to the program, a knock on my door and my new order, which I planned with the help of a dietician via email, had arrived!

It was the boost I needed! The ring of the doorbell woke me up!

I looked at my new food, organized it ever so neatly in my cabinet, once again remembered that I was lucky to be on the program, and recommitted right then and there!

And then the doorbell rang again. The work out DVD set I was hoping I would get arrived!

How many more signs did I need that I was not meant to give in to my self doubt about my ability to DO THIS!

Later that night, munching on some BBQ Soy Chips – surprisingly yummy, I sat watching Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition and listened over and over again as they talked about how to eat. Eat 5 times a day. Just like Nutrisystem suggests. Not huge meals, but small portions and balanced. And they kept saying, people who do not eat breakfast and eat the majority of their calories at night – hand raised – will gain and not lose!

I can SO do this!! And do it WELL!! All I have to do to lose weight is EAT!!!

Such an easy concept but harder to implement than I thought.

So, armed with my protein packed foods, my new DVD work out set, and my motivation that I can lose 40 pounds in 7 months if I just EAT, I lost 2 pounds this week!

SO, I am back down to 10 pounds down.

I’ll take it!

Nutrisystem Week 19.5: Starting Fresh

July 22, 2011 By Lori Leave a Comment

My new order arrived yesterday of yummy, higher protein foods!

Now, I did not need to do this on Nutrisystem but I need energy and I think this will help me! I talked to a Nutrisystem dietician about it via email and we are all set!

Another change, my weigh ins will now be on Thursdays. Usually Thursday nights are “out” nights. The nights that we decide to have a fun family dinner! For a while now I have felt left out or like I have to starve myself for my weigh in on Fridays. And even though I still use the plan, just the knowledge that I have to weigh in the next morning makes me kinda sad.

SO – I am changing it. I, of course, will still do the plan on Thursday nights – why not, the food is awesome – but at least I won’t feel stress of I decided to have a glass of wine with dinner!

I think I lost a total of 11 pounds the first 19 weeks. I am looking to lose twice that the second 19!

GO TEAM!

Nutrisystem Week 19: Can I Skip This One?

July 19, 2011 By Lori Leave a Comment

OK, I have procrastinated quite enough. This post was supposed to be up on Friday.

I don’t want to post because I don’t want to weigh in. I don’t want to weigh in because I can tell from my clothes that I have gained weight. Possibly a substantial amount.

I can sit here and give you a lot of excuses but the fact of the matter is I kind of gave up this week. I had 2 birthdays within the family and an after party at the house and I let loose, forgot I was taking care of myself, and pigged out. I don’t know why. I am a pretty disciplined person. But I did. I admit it. I own it.

But I do not define my entire process by it and that is why I do not want to get on that scale.

I do not want to see a scary number that could possibly mess up my mental momentum that I have right now and send myself spiraling deeper into the old clothes I actually got to put at the bottom of the drawer.

So, can I skip this one? Can I stick with my new plan of acting like I am a week oner and am attacking this like a newbie?

And can I take the AMAZING conversation with the dietician that I had at the end of last week and use her knowledge and support to help me prevent a week like this one from happening again?

Let me tell you more about THAT little fun and exciting discovery.

So we continued our talk from last week, if you’ll remember, and she sent me all of the protein grams in each meal that Nutrisystem has. Not because you have to do that on Nutrisystem, you do not, but because I need energy and that is how I am going to get it.

And I need a change. A New beginning. And that is one thing I LOVE about Nutrisystem. If you want to change it up, you can. Because there is so much variety and great things to choose from!

Onward and thinner we go into week 20. I am waiting on my new order and taking my time. Plus – stay tuned – I am getting my KIDS involved to help with my constant issue of never eating at the right time! Now THIS will be fun!!

Nutrisystem Week 18: A Pound of Knowledge

July 11, 2011 By Lori Leave a Comment

I hate to report this because I had such high hopes for this week, but I did gain a pound.

It was a very stressful week here culminating with the putting down of our 2 year old black lab/ chow mix. The evening I put her down, I realized that I had not eaten all day. And I knew that the scale would not be kind come weigh in day.

All week, I tried to find time to sit down and call a dietician. To no avail. And then I realized that I was not utilizing another fantastic resource that Nutrisystem has for me. 24 hour a day email to a dietician!

I emailed her asking her what I have been asking myself for weeks now. What is going on? Is my eating schedule really that detrimental to my weight loss? Should I be eating less carbs? And on and on.

Within hours, I had a detailed, personal email back in my box addressing every issue and asking questions about other lifestyle changes that could be affecting my health. Did I have any medical conditions? Was I on any medication? And so on.

And then she went on to tell me that my gain this week could be water retention and to watch my sodium intake with my ad ins. Oh? Shoot? I was adding salt instead of Mrs. Dash! Could it really make that much of a difference? I suppose if I add it to my continually erratic eating and sleeping schedule, it certainly could!

And this line in the email really stuck out, “Unfortunately there isn’t a magic bullet to losing weight, but staying consistent, eating at regular times and exercising is the surest way of promoting a healthier you.”

I started wondering if I was expecting the Nutrisystem foods to just take the pounds off. Like, ‘OK, I’ll eat this every day and I will be thin! Wala!” It works a little, which is why I have lost 12 pounds.

No diet plan works like that all the time.

So, Lori, with an email dietician by her side and a new order going in tomorrow, now has a renewed understanding of what she is trying to do here! I am not trying to get “thin”, I am trying to get HEALTHY! And to do that I have to use all of the invaluable tools that Nutrisystem has to offer. And not feel bad that I need a little hand holding along the way!

Stay tuned. It may not be this week, but it will be soon that you will see the numbers slowly reducing on one side and a more balanced, nutritionally sound Lori progressing on the other!

Nutrisystem Week 17: Determination Strong

July 5, 2011 By Lori Leave a Comment

Break even, break even, break even.

The story of my journey to fit into the clothes on the mannequin.

Got up, stepped on that scale, and watched it calebrate to 156. Again.

Sigh.

So I am a bit disgruntaled. Mostly at myself, but a little at my scale.

In order to abort my desire to throw it out the window without actually opening the window, I sat down and went down my list of what I did all week.

I did pretty well. I stuck to the plan, for the most part, and enjoyed my meals like I always do.

And that is it. I did not exercise like I wanted, I did not add in the veggies and proteins like I was supposed to and I did not eat first thing in the morning.

No wonder I broke even.

So, I started to think. Maybe I need help. Real help. Not just Lori psychobabble self fix it stuff, but real help.

Luckily, Nutrisystem has the most amazing support groups online, on the phone, and on social networking. So, Tuesday morning, bright and early, I will be making a call.

Before I order my 4th month of food, I want to know what is suggested for my particular plan. How many yummy bars, how many full dinners, and so on. And I want to ask about my friends theory that ordering carb weighed meals can make you lose slower!

Plus, I want to see if they have any advice for jump starting me off of this vicious cycle of lose, stagnate, gain, lose, stagnate that I seem to have adopted.

If anything I know they will be incredibly motivating, supportive and all ears. Just that may get me going again!

Wish me luck!!

Still down 13 pounds in 17 weeks though!

Nutrisystem Week 16: Game Plan Shake Up

June 24, 2011 By Lori Leave a Comment

I am on Week 16 of this awesome program and my body repays my hard work with a half pound gain!

If I could put my thumbs in my ears, stick out my tongue and ppllewww it at my body, I would. But I am 38. At least on my birth certificate. So I will just stomp my feet, cross my arms and pout!

So, since I am tired of the bouncing back and forth, I have planned a major shake up in my game plan. Because this is the end all weight loss program and it is ME standing in the way of it working as well for me as it has for others.

I started by asking some friends who have been through the program and one told me that when she stalled, she made sure that she ordered very little carb based meals the next month, and the melting began again. That makes a lot of sense to me!

My last order, I ordered my favorites. And by favorites, I mean pasta. Lots and lots of pasta. It seems like that would be OK, right? Eating nothing but pasta seems like a fantastic weight loss plan to me, don’t ya think? And most people can do it!

Except that I think I have secretly sabotaged myself this month because I overloaded on my carbs. Now, I know that the awesome professional chefs work hard to make sure that each meal is healthy – and so so so yummy. And savory. And craving inducing…

Sorry, back on track.

BUT, I think one of the reasons I am losing so slowly is because I am not giving my body enough variety and nutrition by switching up my meals. I eat pasta every single night. And at lunch. And I am not adding enough of my salads to go with them to really balance the nutrition.

My next order will be placed next week and I am going to try my friends method this time! It can’t hurt, right? And we know that because all of the food is so amazing, I’ll like what I get so I will be happy!

Also, I will be adding the grab and go breakfast and lunch bars back into the menu, and replacing half of my desserts with new snacks!

Who knows, maybe this has been my problem all along. That instead of balancing my diet, I have carb loaded it?

What do you guys think? Could this be my issue?

Nutrisystem Week 15: A Pound A Week

June 17, 2011 By Lori 3 Comments

Whew! I lost a pound this week!

From 156.5 to 155.5!

YEA!! So on week 15, I am down 13.3 pounds {I thought it was 14 and I was all bummed and then I thought, “Are you kidding me? 13.3 ROCKS}!

Not a lot, I know, but awesome for me!

My week this week was insane so I really thought I would gain or stay the same. I averaged 3 hours of sleep a night, thanks to a new bedtime tactic we are trying with our oldest {that is clearly failing} – and my eating schedule was abysmal. Most days I did not even have my super yummy Nutrisystem muffin until after 2pm and was eating my creamy Chicken and Dumplings at midnight.

Not exactly the perfect scenerio for massive weight loss, right?

BUT, it is a testament to the fact that no matter how horribly your schedule and nutrition habits are, if you stick to Nutrisystem foods and DO the plan, you will lose some weight. Not as much as people who are sticklers and making sure they follow every rule, but you WILL lose!

And because the food is so good, you will stick to it!

BUT, I really, really, really want to be down 16 pounds at week 16 so that I can stay on my personal goal of 1 pound a week! How I will do it? I am not sure yet! I am open to any tips on how to change my habits consistently so that I actually remember to stop doing puzzles with the girls and eat when I am supposed to! I really think it will help!

Please leave them in my comment section!

By the way, I took my measurements too but there was no change so hopefully, next week, they will be postable!

Nutrisystem Week 14: Let’s Talk Food

June 10, 2011 By Lori 3 Comments

I am a little late posting today! So sorry! I had an event this morning and then kids and then house and then more kids!

This week I gained .5 pounds, which in Lori scale speak means I broke even. Yes, the scale has its own language. The art is interpreting it!

Look, I had cheese cake on Monday {in a moment of weakness, it is all the #HoustonBloggers fault} … so I am thrilled that I broke even!

But this week, I want to talk about food!

I know you all see the tweets {#NSNation} and Facebook posts about how much everyone loves the Nutrisystem food.

I can assure you, it is not just talk!

In fact, I even crave some of my favorites over my old stand bys. And though I am a good cook in my own right, I have nothing on the Nutrisystem chefs!

Breakfast has never been a meal I really focus on. Two cups of coffee and I am all set until 2pm. That habit started in college and has followed me since. I still struggle to make sure I eat within an hour of waking. I fail a lot which might explain a bit my slower weight loss than others on the program.

But I am getting to where I actually wake and crave a bowl of Nutrsytem Granola with a half a banana on it or my ultimate favorite, the Ham and Cheese omelet!

Lunch has me in a kanundrum most days. If I have had the omelet than my favorite lunch, the Toasted Ham and Cheese seems redundant. So, I move on to my next favorite, the Three Cheese Pasta with Chicken. Or the Creamy Caeser Salad with Chicken.

Dinner is pasta. Or meatloaf. Or pasta. Or Pasta with Swedish meatballs. Or whatever is in my cabinet. As long as it is followed by a Peppermint Cookie patty – tastes better than a York! – or Ice Cream Sandwich I am golden and happy.

You see… the food is real! And real means good. Really good. Like my belly wants it good.

In fact, except for things I have just not cared for my whole life, I have yet to try or even see anything on the Nutrisystem menu that I would not think is amazing!

That is why this program is so easy to stick to! When it tastes like cardboard, you stop wanting it. When it tastes like food you would make your family, you eat it every day!

Which is why it is working for me! Yes, I know, slowly. Shirly at Skinny Blog lost 30 pounds in 3 weeks. My body, apparently does not work that way! I am still happy with my 13 pounds down so far! And without Nutrisystem, I would not be down anything!

Nutrisystem Week 13: A Nice Surprise!

June 3, 2011 By Lori 4 Comments

This week saw a lot of new and exciting events! All topped off with an extremely surprising weigh in with a loss of 1.8 pounds!

Surprising because the scale told me something entirely different Wednesday morning and I was preparing for yet another “I don’t understand it” post!

But, I was diligent this week and my body decided to reward me!

So, at week 13, I am down 12.8 pounds overall!

And though I know #NSNation participants who lost that in the first 2 weeks, I am thrilled and ecstatic to be very close to my goal of 1 pound a week!

In addition to that, amazing things happened to re-inspire and motivate me to keep it up!

The first is the connection and pinky swear pack with fellow Nutrisystem loser, Jo from MediaMum.net. If you do not know her, you should! She is amazing! Motivational, supportive, and just plain fun! Find her on Twitter – where I imagine all tweets in her Australian accent – which is just pure entertainment for me!

So we made a pact to focus less on the scale and more on our measurements! I could not find my fabric tape last night so I used twine and a ruler! Hey, at least I get points for creativity, right?

But I found my tape this morning and was, amazingly, only off by a little!

My measurements are:

Upper Arms: 13.0

Chest: 39.5

Waist: 38.5

Hips: 41

Thigh: 21

So, in addition to my scale victories, I will finally be tracking my measurements! Especially that ugly number around the middle!

So thank you JO! This is going to be fun!

My second amazing discovery – that has been staring me in the face since I got my Droid 3 weeks ago, is that there is a Nutrisystem APP!

Seriously, where have I been?

I downloaded that bad boy and am so excited to use it when I am out and about! My most challenging time!

YEA!

So there you have it. Week 13 = a loss, a partner, and a new tool!

This Nutrisystem journey just gets better and better!

Nutrisystem Week 12: A Weak Week

May 27, 2011 By Lori 6 Comments

I gained 1.2 pounds this week to 157.8. So, we can just up and erase last week! Bummer!

But I knew I would!

I made a major paux pas when planning my Nutrisystem food this week. I forgot to account for three nights out with graduation celebrations and mother nature. I did not eat before I left or make sure I had enough on hand if the celebrations ran late!

I did take my trusty Nutrisystem snacks and my baggies of carrots and fruit. But I failed to account for the fact that I was missing an actual meal and was famished by the end of graduations. So, despite the grilled chicken and veggie selections, I tended to well… pig out!

As for mother nature. Well, what can I do about her? I feel the water retainage rushing into my body as I speak. Hopefully next week she’ll reward me with taking all of that away!

And I am still down 11+ pounds so I am happy!

Now, with the holiday weekend ahead of me, I have my work cut out for me. Although I think all of the places we are going has a microwave so I think I am all golden!

Despite this week interrupting my momentum, I am continually thrilled with Nutrisystem! I am loving my new foods that I got last week and actually crave them! In fact, when I did stray this week, I felt like I did not have near the energy and was hungrier sooner than my normal Nutrisystem week! That alone tells me that these foods are certainly made well and achieving their goals of being healthy and perfectly balanced!

SO onward to the next week! A loss is sure to come!

Nutrisystem Week 11: Steady As She Goes

May 20, 2011 By Lori 4 Comments

Forgive the Pirate reference. It has been a Pirates kind of week! LOL!

Week 11 saw a lot of fun Nutrisystem events!

I got my new shipment of food – both cabinet and frozen and I am anxiously awaiting my first 10 pound bear!

PLUS: I lost another 1.2 pounds this week!

YEA!

That puts me down 12.2 pounds over 11 weeks!

Not too shabby for a mom who never sleeps and eats at the weirdest times imaginable!

I wanted to talk a little about my ordering this month!

The first 2 months of the program, I ordered the exact same thing. All of the food is so good that I simply saw no reason to switch it up.

Well, towards the end of this month, before my reorder, I realized that I was really craving th those that were already consumed. So, I made note of those foods and slimlined my order to more suit my continual tastes. Because, though I love variety – and there is a TON to choose from – I found that I my old standbys might have served me better.

You know, pastas, chocolate, cereals, and creamy ceasar salads!
