week 18

This week I am celebrating being at 140 lbs and I went from a size 14 to a size 8!
I am so excited. I admit it was a little snug around the waist but I still wore it. Another 5 pounds will make it perfect fit. Below are some pictures. I started at 162 pounds which is what I weighed on Easter of 2012. The middle pic was about 6 weeks after we started Nutristem. I went from a size 14 to a size 10. The last pic was last week. Size 8! I am so excited. Rick has gone from a XXL shirt to a medium and  a 36 inch waist to a 32.  We are happy with the food and support that we get from Nutrisystem and would recommend it to anyone who needs help losing weight. Especially someone who is diabetic. It was a miracle for Rick to get his blood sugar levels under control.
I really like the lunch bars that I can grab on those days that I am really busy (seems to be a lot of those days lately). I absolutely love the Peanut Butter Bars. Rick's favorite lunch is the Chicken taco or fajita.

Week 17

I did not do well over the Thanksgiving Holiday. I went off the diet for 4 days while we ate and shopped and decorated.  I gained 3 pounds during the 4 day binge. And I felt horrible. I had heart burn every night and bloating . And I was so tired. So I started right back on my diet on Monday morning.  It is amazing to me the difference I felt after the week. I lost 2 of the pound I gained the week before and the heartburn and bloating went away. I threw out all of the leftover goodies and went back to the Nutrisystem dessert bars. I love the peppermint cookie bar. It is my favorite dessert bar. We also got to try the Whoopie pie Ice cream sandwhiches. They were Rick's favorite by far.
We are back on track now and losing the extra pounds that  we put on. I will have to say I was really surprised at how bad I felt when I was off the diet. I was tired and had heartburn and bloating.

For this week I am at 21 lb total loss
and Rick is at 28 lbs total loss

Week 16

I have to admit all of this Holiday eating is hard to resist. So I just do the best I can. I acknowledge that my will power has been pretty low. But I am managing to maintain and keep my weight steady. I really want to take off 5 pounds before Christmas. One of my favorite entrees with Nutrisystem are the flatbread pizza's. I add onions, peppers, and whatever other veggies I have on hand.   I can eat pizza everyday so I am really glad that Nutrisystem  offers this pizza.

Rick is doing well with this diet too. He is not losing any weight but his sugar levels are remaining level.  This week he ran out of medicine because he didn't tell me that he was running low and had to wait for it to come in the mail for a week. So he watched what he ate and followed the diet plan and still managed to keep his blood sugar levels below 200. He has also been able to cut back on the medication he takes for neuropathy in his legs. He only takes half the dose now .
