Hello there, I will be receiving my first nutrisystem box soon!!I am excited to get started! I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your informative videos, they have been very helpful. I also love the fact the you are older than "25" , I myself am 46 and it is a different weight struggle when we are older than "25"...lol. I have 40 lbs to lose, your videos show me that it is possible and gives me the encouragement I need. I can't wait to receive my first bear!! Thank you!!😊
It makes me super happy that you find encouragement in my videos! I will be 60 in two months and yes it is a different struggle when you are older, my metabolism has definitely slowed down but I’m completely happy following the Nutrisystem program and even though my weight loss is slower than most it’s still going in the right direction! I’m so happy that you’re getting your food soon, you’ve got this!😊❤️
@@pamdoneen654 I also love the fact that we can eat carbs! So many people teach that you can not have carbs peri and post menopause. It's so refreshing to see that is not true. I have familial cholesterol and my cholesterol numbers shoot through the roof on a low carb plan. I need the fiber to help pull the excess cholesterol out of my body as well as the 6 small meals that help to keep my triglycerides low. Thank you for defying the low carb only for menopause myth.😊
Can you explain again how a power fuel can also be a smart carb? My nutrisystem food is arriving soon and I’m eager to start. I want to make sure I understand how to utilize all the additional food that I can eat!
wonderful video Why don't they just have a list so we can print it out and post it so it's less guessing and more info. Exactly...Hard to know.... my husband is so frustrated. looking forward to part 2
Yes, it would be hard to stay on plan if hunger was nagging at you. As long as I ate every 2-3 hours and had plenty of vegetables I was able to stay on course😊❤️
On week 6 and though down 20 I have stalled. Did not understand the use of Power fuels and Smart Carbs until I talked to NS counselor this morning. That conversation led me to RUclips and I found your channel. So much great information. I am curious are you on maintenance or do you still use their foods some and are you having success still? I am headed to the store now with a list from this video.
I am on maintenance and it’s going very well, I can’t go back to the way I use to eat or I’ll be back where I started. Pay close attention to what you are learning on the program so when you get to maintenance you don’t end up gaining weight back😊 congratulations on your success!🎉 You’ve got this!!😊❤️ PS I bought some food on À la carte when it was on sale, it comes in handy and helps me with maintenance😊
The only place I was able to find them was Safeway but they are always out so I went onto walmart.com and found them and ordered four packages, I keep them in the freezer and they do just fine especially since I always toast them😊❤️
Thank you for all your ideas. I am finishing up my second week. I need to make your veggie soup. So far I lost 9 lbs. I didn’t do the second week correctly. But now I think I understand the smart carbs and power fuels. Do you mind sharing how much you lost and how long it took you to lose the weight?
I lost a little over 20 pounds, my metabolism has slowed way way down as I’ve gotten older, I had to be extremely patient but I felt as long as I was staying on the program I would eventually see success. I didn’t always lose each week but I stayed with it and I’m so happy I did. I did make two videos on Smart Carbs and Power Fuels that may be helpful for you. We are each on our own individual journey but if you stick with it and realize it will take time you will succeed and reach your goal! I wish you the very best!😊💗
WOW 9 pounds is wonderful, great job😊 I talk about my weight loss in each weekly video, I lost very slowly because my metabolism has slowed way down but it still was doable and I’m keeping it off so Super happy about that😊I wish you the very best, you’ve got this!😊❤️
@@pamdoneen654 that's great! I will watch that one as well. I've just started on NutriSystem this week.. feeling a bit sluggish and could use all the tips :)
@@gerelyn make sure to use a ton of vegetables they will save you!! I also did a video on vegetables and how I used them to beef up my meals😊❤️ good luck!! You’ve got this!!😊❤️
I think I would get checked out by a good doctor, I loose very slow but for you not to loose anything especially your first week makes me think something is off❤️
You say you get three power fuels a day but nutrition system says you only get one. I am now confused. Is there more than one option I am missing? Love the baked pita chip idea!
They do have variations on the plan depending on how much weight you have to lose and how active you are. I’m allowed three power fuels and one smart carb. Are you thinking of smart carbs when you say you only get one? It may be good to call one of the counselors at Nutrisystem to find out more about your particular plan. I wish you the very best!😊❤️
@@pamdoneen654 thank you for the quick response! I see understand my misunderstanding now! Do you pay attention to the calorie count of things and juggle you NS choices depending on if you max out your calorie count of the power fuels and Smartcarb calories? Thanks for the videos!
@@stephanielewis414 I don’t keep track of the calories, in fact I didn’t use the NUMI app. I used paper and pen but I think the app. Would be helpful and I hear from others that they find the app. Helpful for not only tracking food but also excersize😊❤️
Thank you! This is so confusing, the terminology, tracking grams, calories etc. I am on wk 2 of ns and it is not going well. The hot pockets are bland, too many carbs for my taste. I think I will just eat regular meals just less.
I’m sorry to hear it’s not going well for you😕 Once you get use to the program it gets easier. You don’t need to track grams or calories, just eat the food you are allowed to eat and lots of vegetables and that is it. But it does take time to get the hang of it, I wish you the very best😊❤️
I just finished my first 5 days of eating nutrisystem, so far I've lost 5 lbs but stomach has been upset every since I started. Is anyone else having issues? If so what did you do?
Hi Dori, I’m sooo happy for you loosing weight and it’s coming off fast right now! Yes I did have issues but was fortunate only at night😊 Get on the Nutrisystem Facebook groups and type that question in the group search bar, so many helpful solutions😊 Good luck to you, You’ve got this!!😊❤️
ok, NVRMd I just googled it and found a 4 page printable-life changing. I'm so happy. Printed the list and will post in the pantry. I have marked bins for my Husband and Myself as we start this weight loss journey together.
@@pamdoneen654 no, a list of foods under each catagory. So: Power Fuels and all the foods and amounts Smart Carbs: and so on... hope that explains. it was a 3 page one and was perfect. I printed it out and really use it to quickly check amounts and Can I have it or Not..and under what it would fall. Until I program my brian its helpful.
I love the way you explain things ❤
Thank you😊❤️
Love these great ideas! Thank you for sharing! I’m starting week 2 today. I lost over 8 lbs my first week! Love your videos to keep me motivated!
I’m happy my videos help😊 Sooo wonderful you had such a great weight loss your first week, a great jump start! You’ve got this!!😊❤️
I've lost 5 pounds on my first week! On to week two! I love your video's, they really have been positive for me. Keep em coming Pam!!
Way to go!!🎉 when your weight loss slows down, don’t get discouraged, I always told myself nothing taste as good as skinny feels, it seemed to help😊❤️

Thank you, this really means a lot to me because I have watched your videos for sooo long😊❤️
Wow! Love your ideas. Thank you so much for sharing and making this video :)

Is that dressing considered to o be an extra? Joining today and feel blessed I found your channel. 💖
Yes the dressing is considered a extra, it looks like you are really grasping the program, good for you!😊❤️
Thank you for all the ideas!
You are so welcome😊❤️
Staying full is so helpful
Yes, it would be hard to stay on plan if hunger was nagging at you. As long as I ate every 2-3 hours and had plenty of vegetables I was able to stay on course😊❤️
Thank you
You are sooo welcome😊❤️

Ty for these examples !!!!!!
You are welcome!😊❤️
Great info thanks. But it seems like I’ll be spending all my time thinking/preparing food?
Once you have been on the program and get the learning phase out of the way it gets easier😊❤️
This sure did help me out
Thank you for your sweet comment😊❤️I wish you the very best!❤️
I haven't run into any mention of extras on the website. Thanks,
Thank You for sharing!
You are so very welcome😊❤️
where did you find those pita breads? great idea making it 2. mind blowing.
The only place I was able to find them was Safeway but they are always out so I went onto walmart.com and found them and ordered four packages, I keep them in the freezer and they do just fine especially since I always toast them😊❤️
Good information thank you mamm.
Thank you for your nice comments, I really appreciate them and it gives me encouragement😊❤️
What did you mix with the cucumbers and tomatoes? Keymo? Keylo? Are you saying “quinoa”?
Quinoa😊❤️
