My husband received his food order last week and is doing well, he wants to lose 80 pounds.
I decided to join him, I want to lose 40 pounds, I just ordered my food today should get it in a week.
Has anyone on AFF been on Nutri-system?

Not I, but my mother-in-law was at one time. She did not like the food. She like home cooked things and that is the majority of what she does is cook at home. She gave the rest of the meals to my wife and I. I enjoyed the few we had. My mother-in-law is SUPER picky on food. I have know others that did it and enjoyed it. Congrats on your start and good luck with the weight loss.

What made you decide to choose Nutri-sytem over Jenny Craig? Just curious-

I would love to do Nutri-System. The hardest issue is having the time to cook healthy and it seems that a system like that might be the ticket.

But... alas...being on Nutri-System would require that I have a much higher financial system.

I hope the two of you do very well and that you enjoy it along the way.

Let us know what you think about the food and if the selection is sufficient to keep things out of the boring zone.

I've never been on any weight loss system as they are all not recommended for long term goals. And that should be to remain at a healthy weight for life. Myself, I'm a semi-vegetarian and since I quit eating meat at every meal, I have not had to worry about diets, losing weight or keeping the weight off. I've naturally settled into a healthy weight and I've pretty much stayed there (+ or - about 5 lbs) Gotta love the plants that God gave us to consume.

Psalm 104:14 KJV
He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;

Psalm 104:14 New Life Version
He makes the grass grow for the cattle, and plants for man to use. So He may bring food from the earth,

Another link as FYI...I'm not saying I agree with these reviews as I have never tried Nutri System:

I do agree that overall Weight Watchers has been the most reliable way to lose weight for many people. If you embrace the Weight Watcher's philosophy of eating right and portion size, you change your lifestyle.
