March 1 Nutrasystem D (again)

Good morning botts;

I have been eating healthy the past few day but that darn scale simply  won't move.  I am on day 1 Nutrasystem D today.  I bought the 5 day sampler box to get under 200 lbs. before vacation.  The portion sizes also help me reset my eyes.  I am a snow shut in for the next 3 days.  I cleaned the bathrooms and the upstairs over the past few days so today I will clean the first floor and the dreaded basement.  Anything to move for 3 hours today.  We all have to do whatever it takes to stay on track.  Have a great day.  Tri

That's one of the few diets I have never tried, but only because I have no idea of the price but just figured it was more than i would be comfortable with :/ When I did consider it, I would end up just going to the store and buying those frozen diet meals (adkins or Lean Cuisines) and just trying that route. I agree with it helping give you a better idea on portion sizes. I am in the same boat as you trying to lose a few more pounds before vacation! No way I can meet goal by then so I set a smaller goal. I am leaving for vacation on Sunday and within a pound of that smaller goal :D But now my fear is, how much will I gain while on vacation? I plan on gaining and trying to be ok with that because-hey it is vacation after all. But I have worked SO hard to lose and don't want to start all over again with the cravings struggle. Fingers crossed it goes well for us both!!

I was on Vacation for 8 days.. And I gained 2 lbs that I lost a week after we got back. 

I concentrated on proteins and fat in my meals, but I allowed some treats during one meal a day. I also had some wine...I chose dry, chardonnay... I had a few bites of dessert one day. Another day - 2 (small) slices of thin crust pizza and 1/2 burger.. Then one day I had a small bag of peanut  m&m that I ate slowly... I had some local fruits and chocolate another day... 

I did not feel deprived, and the vacation did not caused significant weight gain. I snacked on nuts. 

Good luck getting to the pre-vacation goal.

I bought a sample box at Walmart for $45.  Nutrisystem is 3 meals (your could use frozen ones) and 2 cups of lettuce and 1 cup of raw veggies with fat free dressing for lunch and dinner; snacks are a protein (yogurt, cottage cheese, light cheese stick, 2 tbsp. nuts, 1 tbsp. peanut butter) and a fruit serving.  AT night you get a low sugar/high protein dessert.  You could improvise.  

I am going to try to be as good as possible on vacation because my January vacation was a bust.  It took me a month to relose the weight and I have only lost one more additional pound since.  Hala has some good ideas.  Maybe that will help.  

Best of luck to us.  Tri

I'm going out to buy an arm band for my phone so I can track what I actually walk daily. My body aches all the time and I think it's two things, too many refined carbs and sugar and not moving enough.
