Oh my gosh!! Can we just take a moment and appreciate that number. 20 lbs down on my 9th week of Nutrisystem. I am so beyond grateful, excited and thrilled. Words cannot express how happy I am. Every week I take a picture of myself to track the progress. Until this week I haven't been able to see the transformation with my own eyes. Others would tell me they could but I didn't see it. Now that I'm 20 pounds lighter I can see it in my face, my arms, my wrists, my leg, pretty much all over. I ...

When Dreams Become Goals and Goals Become Reality
Last week I was fairly discouraged. It was the first week since I started Nutrisystem that I had not lost any weight. And I struggled with staying upbeat and on track. I don't think being ill helped my attitude. For a while now I had dreamed about losing the weight and finally started setting goals this spring. Now those goals are starting to become a reality. When I got on the scale this week I was down 2 more pounds! That's a total of 18 pounds gone since I started 2 months ago. That's pretty ...
Two More Pounds Bite the Dust
Woot! Woot! Even though I partied like a rockstar over the weekend, by party like a rockstar I mean threw a party for a 7-year-old and a surprise party for my sister in law, I still managed to lose weight! I will admit, Saturday I fell off the wagon. I was going from sun up to sun down prepping for 2 parties and throwing both of them on the same day but I did my best. Yes, I ate off Nutrisystem but I made healthy choices. At my daughter's party, there was cake and oh how I wanted some! But I ...
More Than 10 lbs Down and Still Going!
What a month!! I'm loving Nutrisystem and all the amazing things that are coming because of my weight loss goals. So it's been 4 weeks that I have been working my plan. Mind you, I've been busy so I haven't had a chance to add in exercise but I have been journaling EVERYTHING I eat and using my fit bit to make sure I am burning 1,000 or more calories a day than I am consuming. I read somewhere that you need to burn at least 1,000 calories more than you take in if you want to lose a pound or more ...
Say Goodbye Size 16
Well, I just finished week 3 on Nutrisystem. I'll admit, it was hard to stay positive when I worked so hard the previous week and only went down 1 pound. But I stuck with it. I kept working the program. And guess what?? This week I'm down 3 pounds!! That's 3 whole pounds of fat gone. It's outta here! I also had another huge milestone this week, I got to say goodbye to size 16 and hello size 14! That's right, 3 weeks on the program and I'm down 1 whole size. My total lost to date is 9 pounds. ...
My Craziest Week on Nutrisystem
This week was nuts. I felt like I was constantly on the go. Peyton had her school carnival, I had a concert to cover and I had over 50 payroll tax returns to do this week on top of my typical daily tasks. But I did it. I survived the chaos and I stayed on track with Nutrisystem. Remember last week when I told you that preparation is key? Well, that could not be more true this week. Every night before I went to bed I would take 15 minutes to look over my upcoming day. It really helped me focus ...
