I have been provided with a Nutrisystem plan in exchange for sharing my honest experience and results on my blog. All opinions are my own.
As you can tell from the title, this week was a BIG victory in Ryan’s Nutrisystem journey. I won’t delay gratification. This week, this happened:
When Ryan started Nutrisystem, the scale read 258.5. This week, when he dropped under 198.5, he went over 60 pounds lost! We laughed about how he’s now lost as much as our 3-year-old niece and our pug (in weight) added together. 60 pounds is the average weight of an 8-year-old. Or, two cinder blocks! I could go on but you get the point. 60 pounds is a lot.
The speed of Ryan’s weight loss has picked up recently and we think we know why. Nutrisystem is a program that makes calorie counting easy. It makes sure that all meals are within a certain range of calories. For example, Ryan’s lunch entrees range from about 110 calories to 220 calories each. The other meals and snacks also stay within a set range. However, he noticed recently that especially with the lunch and dinner entrees, his favorite meals were the higher calorie ones so he was eating about 200 calories more due to the lunch and dinner entrees that he was choosing. So this week he intentionally picked out ones on the lowest end of the range and lost over 2 pounds in a week for the first time in several weeks. Ryan’s calorie range has not changed since he started, so it makes sense that his weight loss will be slower now that he’s weighing less his body needs less to just ‘exist’, so he has less wiggle room calorie wise.
