First question I have is WHATS A GOOD Nutrisystem diet PILL? Thanks for any comment. My 2nd question... The daily dose article...I like the part about buying the jeans. |

Good question... I dunno what is the right answer to your question. I'll do some Googling and get back to you if I bump into an good answer. You should email the people at Nutrisystem as they probably could answer your Nutrisystem question..

You rock Ben. Congrats. And very well put. Well... put....
I did just that with 36 jeans when I was a 40 pushing 42. Now I wear those.. And now I've got a new pair of 34s I can't wear yet. Yet.... ... |
|
Well said Ben!.
I did that with 34's and am now in them!. One other thing I've done (because my wife said I should!. ) is kept a suit that I was wearing when I started this journey......just so I have that visual of where I never want to go again... |
|
I put a pink bikini in my closet in hopes to fit into it someday. er uh .. nevermind.....
|
|
Congrats Ben! You've worked very hard. Here's to reaching goal..
(raises water bottle for toast). ... |

Nice job BEN. Each of us must find our own inspiration. Coming to the bb and reading about how each of you are finding motivation is helping me...
|

The first time I was on the program, I started out with a 44 waist and ended up at 33 before reaching goal. I used to take a pair of jeans or something the next size down and lay them on the ottoman we have in our BR. At my weekly weigh ins on Mondays I would also try on the smaller size. Gave me a constant reminder of where I wanted to be and a short term goal to meet...

WOW Steve, that's a great new avatar. You inspire me to keep going. Right now, I'm where you were when you started. I look forward to the day I can post a picture like that. Very cool my friend, very cool..
Look how skinny you are! Wow.. |

My 2nd day on Nutrisystem (August 4th) I went to a Steely Dan concert and bought a t-shirt in 2x for the first time in years. (It was a leap of faith, as I really didn't completely expect that I could be successful. I hoped, but I had no assurance.).
Then I wore that now very comfortable shirt all over in England on my vacation in early December.. My next goal is to see if it can be as baggy as my old 4x shirts are on me now by the end of 2009..... |
|
I'm glad I saw this -.
Great idea. ! I'm going to dig through the bags of my I-wish-I-still-looked-like-this clothing this weekend and pick out a few favorites to leave around so I can keep trying to get back into them (whilst being able to exhale). Thanks for posting this!. ETA: I want to label all the clothing that is now too big for me and put it in a bag labeled "ONLY if I have more children!".. |
|
What I did was each time I fit into smaller clothes all the bigger clothes went into a bag and out of the room. I did eventually have enough faith in myself to give them to charity. Then, weight started creeping back up and I had to buy a couple pairs of 36 waist pants. Here I am again...I don't want to have to buy another wardrobe !..
|
|
Well I'm now happy to say that I fit comfy into 38's currently but would like to get to 34's so I'm going to buy a nice north face green pair for the occasion...

Thanks guy, looking for my Nutrisystem commercial opportunity as playgirl hasn't called yet. Still waiting..
You're the one I keep tabs on. We've lost about the same amount over the same time.. Whats happened now is the loss has slowed significantly and almost stopped, however the body keeps changing. The cloths keep getting bigger. Can't seem to get below 200.. Also need to buy some shirts as many have already pointed out to me.. NS does present some problems... |
|
Great new Avatar Steve - and great progress!!.
Now if we could just get you to smile. I'm fighting my way down also - don't think of it as a plateau - think of it as doing a GREAT job at maintenance!.. |
|
Steve,.
Amazing job! may I ask. Have you purchased new belts yet? Or are you like me and spend your time poking new holes in the old ones? Funny one belt I have wraps around me like one and a half times. Its ridiculous. Ben.. |
|
Wow GREAT job! The belt looks like it hurts in that first photo...
|
|
Funny. When I first started on the Nutrisystem forums, I'd hear you all talk about poking belt holes. Gotta be honest, I'm thinking "damn guys, just replace the belt"..
Then my belts were no good anymore and I started pricing decent belts (which I hadn't bought a new belt in like forever). Then I got home and started poking holes.. ... |
