NutriSystem Weight Loss Program

Pros: MADE MY GOAL and THEN SOME! Convenient, EASY and tasty
Cons: Can't think of any....

UPDATED INFO. AT END OF POSTING. I started Nutrisystem because I needed to lose 25 Lbs. I have never ever tried any "store/promotional" eating plan before. I saw the commercial for Nutrisystem and read reviews about Nutrisystem here on ...

Pros: GOBS of food. Every palate can be satisfied. "Reprograms" what your body.
Cons: Looks strange. Soy will boost estrogen. Desserts need some help. Co-workers will steal it.

I left for afghanistan, and returned, four months later, to a mother in law that was literally half the woman I used to know. Inspired by her and her results, I followed her example and tried out the nutrisystem diet. I ordered a month's worth of ...

Pros: A couple of breakfast items and some snack bars
Cons: Bad food, poor value, not good for you!

The power of advertising can be an incredible thing! Anyone wanting to lose weight can easily be taken in by the commercials broadcast by Nutrisystem. The meals look great, it sounds convenient, good value for money and the celebrity endorsements sound ...

Pros: Easy to use, Online, Nice people, Support 24/7, portions
Cons: Could be overpriced for some

In late 1990 I was a very overweight teenager. My mother took me down to the local NutriSystem center. In about a year and a half, I lost over 85 pounds. I went weekly to the center. I had a private session to talk to a counselor and got weighed. They ...

Pros: Convenience, Easy to store and take on trips or to work, Counselor advice
Cons: Shipments may have mistakes, so COUNT everything. Some phone representatives are rude. Small portions.

Once I reached my early 30's, I started gaining weight at a rate of about 5 lbs. per year. At 5 feet 4 inches and nearly 170, I decided this HAS to stop! I started Nutrisystem Nourish and after 6 weeks, I have A LOT to say about this program. #1 - Your ...

Pros: Portion control
Cons: Taste

I decided to go back and take a look at some of my first Epinion ratings. I will have to admit I came down too hard on Nutrisystem in one of my first ratings. Nutrisystem was one of the first organized program diets I tried and I had great success the...

Pros: Convenient, easy to follow, honest (have to eat right AND exercise to lose weight.)
Cons: Not for picky eaters; some might consider it expensive.

OK. So I've only been on NutriSystem for 1 1/2 weeks and I've lost about 5 lbs. (I lost 7 lbs in the first, but gained a few lbs. back over the weekend due to the "weekends off" plan.) Anyway, I'm glad I went ahead and bought the system BEFORE reading ...

Pros: It provides a menu you select for every day
Cons: Not for everyone.

Because my weight was increasing year by year and I didn't feel as healthy and energetic as I should, I was becoming increasingly concerned. I happened to see a NutriSystem add on TV. I logged on and found their website. I had been on the NS diet...

Pros: The absolutely easy plan that is very simple to follow and stay on.
Cons: The only con that I can think of may be the cost.

I've been on the program for over 8 weeks. I've dropped two pants sizes. The food is great and my energy level has increased significantly. If you follow the program the way it's outlined you eat every two to three hours. I rarely get hungry between ...

Pros: easy, affordable, healthy, effective
Cons: Hard to do if you're also cooking for other people

I am updating this with a few more thoughts - years later - and details...I signed up for this program several years ago because I read about it in People Magazine, and after my tax returns I had the money to join. I was skeptical at first BUT I ...

Pros: Order shipped quickly, convenient to use.
Cons: Absolutely horrible food, careless order fulfillment.

I noticed that an earlier reviewer said something along the lines of "if you don't like this diet, you won't like anything." I respectfully disagree. I lost 85 pounds on my own through diet (counting calories) and exercise and have kept it off within a ...

Pros: No counting fat grams or calories; great for hectic lifestyles
Cons: More expensive than regular grocery food

I have lost 17 pounds so far on Nutrisystem fairly easily. All you have to do is order food online, and it is shipped to you in 2-7 days UPS. The only cost is the food, which can run about $50-$60 a week-and can be ordered in about any amount you want-a...

Pros: Convenient. Meals don't need to be refrigerated, portable & fast.
Cons: TERRIBLE customer service. TINY portions. BAD taste. EXPENSIVE (if you follow plan correctly)

I bought 2 months worth of the Nutrisystem program. Everyone, no matter who you are gets a free week of food, so this is not a great deal or special. After I quit, they offered me a "special" of a free week as well, so no big deal here. Now for all ...

Pros: Eat per their plan; you will probably lose weight quickly, although you won't feel well.
Cons: Nothing appealing about Nutrisystem's plan, product and services.

Be careful, folks. I'm not sure whether it's because Nutrisystems is understaffed or for some other reason, but they don't answer their phones. It is quite common to wait at least a half hour to get someone on the phone. If by chance you find an ...

Pros: Convenient if you like tasteless, miniscule portions!
Cons: Terrible customer service, barely edible food, expensive, no support, commercials are false advertising

First of all, I wish I would have read these reviews before I purchased the food! I signed up for autoship to save money, so at least I didn't pay over $300 at first. After I received the food, however, THEN they stated you have to buy EXTRA food. No ...
