NutriSystem is working for me

I came across a Nutrisystem ad in October 2005 and decided I would give it a try. I was 176 pounds and I was sick of feeling and looking “fat”. When I received my first shipment I was excited to start and with my lifestyle the ability of popping the food into a microwave was right up my alley.

I lost a few pounds in the first week, which I figured was from water weight but I was still happy that the number on the scale was lower. :)
One important thing with using nutrisystem and with any program for losing weight is to drink plenty of water. I am NOT a water drinker. I have tried those tips of adding lemon or lime to change the flavor, etc. They didn’t work.

The solution that worked for me was buying the gallon jugs of spring water and just keeping it in a 2 gallon container with a spout in the fridge. Doing this helps me to drink my 8 glasses a day because the water is very cold and isn’t out of the tap. Although our tap water tastes fine according to my husband and father (they like drinking water) for me it just didn’t cut it.

So, when you hear them say that it IS VERY important to drink water in helping to keep the weight loss happening, believe them.
