I'm not challenging anyone on this forum. Only myself. I've battled with weight issues for years. I've lost 70 lbs a few years ago and gained 80 back. Really no surprises as I went back to my old ways after the diet was over.
I've tried Atkins earlier this year and had some initial weight loss but found the diet too restrictive and have read too many articles about how it can be unhealthy to do for any length of time. Last week I decided to try something different so I signed up for Nutrisystem. My food arrived last week. It's all about portion control and eating a balanced diet. On this diet I've lost 8 lbs since Tuesday. I know a lot of it is water related and that this weight loss will slow to probably around 2-3 lbs/week after I settle into it. I do feel a lot better. To keep myself motivated I plan to check into this site monthly and post my results and photos (the hard part). If anyone is interested in joining me, let me know and I can email you a coupon for $30 off your first months purchase of food. So far the results have been great and I haven't been hungry. On this diet I eat 5 times a day and drink a minimum of eight glasses of water. Fruits and vegetables are a significant part of this diet. Food choices are pretty good too, hamburgers, pizza, chili, beef stroganoff, chicken alfredo, meet loaf. It's not as good as the real thing of course but if keeps you from craving certain foods. I had blueberry pancakes for breakfast this morning. Desserts are good tool
And now for the ugly part, the before photo's!

I'll post photos once a month to track progress. Committing to do this publicly will help me accomplish this goal. Thanks for your support guys!
