First Week on Nutrisystem

18 January, 2016 by KatBp 92 Comments

Disclosure: I am receiving Nutrisystem in exchange for blogging about my weight loss journey. All of the opinions are 100% my own and may differ from yours.
NutriSystem-1

As many of you may know by now, I started with Nutrisystem. I have officially finished my first week with them. I didn’t start Nutrisystem to lose any weight, but I wanted to continue to maintain my current weight, learn how to eat healthy and learn more about portions. I also am often tired and don’t have much energy. This was a huge part of why I began with Nutrisystem. I can honestly say that I’m already feeling more energized throughout the day. In my first week I have already learned so much. I was never sure about portions, and I now know a lot more about portion sizes. For vegetables I’m able to eat 1 cup raw or 1/2 cup cooked for a serving.

In the first week I had done what was called the Turbo Takeoff. This is a program that helps you start with your weight loss. I was given seven days of breakfasts, lunches, dinners, Turbo Shakes and NutriCrush Shakes. My days started off by eating one of the breakfast entrees, then a snack was the Turbo Shake, then the lunch entree, a NutriCrush Shake for a snack and then a dinner entree. I also had 4 servings of vegetables in between everything.

shakes

It was a bit difficult adjusting to this new diet at first, but after the first day it got a lot easier. I’m not usually a fan of shakes like they had me drink, but after having them for the second time, I started enjoying them a lot. I guess when they say you’ll get use to something after having it for a while is definitely true. I certainly started enjoying them after the second day. All of the food was actually very good too. I found a couple entrees that I wasn’t to fond of, but that happens with most diets. Other than that, everything was absolutely amazing! I would have to say that the cheese tortellini was my absolute favorite meal that I tried.

When I first started with Nutrisystem a week ago my weight was 118. Like I already mentioned, I’m not looking to lose weight, but I’ll still mention my weight each week. This week ends with me at the weight of 115.

I hope that you’ll continue to follow my journey. I’ll be writing up a post once a week, so make sure to come back to read more! You can also check out all my social media pages to see some photos that I post throughout the day. I love posting photos of some of the meals I eat from Nutrisystem. You can find my social media pages on my home page of my blog.

    I know everyone wants to lose some weight but sticking to a rigid diet and exercise program sometimes do not fit into our regular daily schedules. I will try to see if Nutrisystem would be a better option. I do not need to lose a lot of weight. I just need to maintain my current weight and choose healthier options. Thanks for keeping us updated on your journey.

    Nutrisystem can be a good learning tool for those who stick to the program and go through maintenance. I have seen a lot of people use it for weight loss and then quit, thinking they can do the next phase on their own and they end up gaining the weight back.
