About 12 years ago a friend and I joined NutriSystem - it was back in the days when you went to the center (usually space in a strip mall) each week, attended a short class, weighed in with your counselor and picked and paid for your food for the...

Pros: Great Website, Food is Good, Diary, Fitness Center online
Cons: Wish the cost could be about $50 less

NutriSystem online spoke to me one evening while I was sitting and watching TV in August of 2005 I have been having a lot of trouble losing weight and have tried weight watchers and LA Weight Loss, and actually had success at Weight Watchers years ...

Pros: Excellent tasting and well balanced meals.
Cons: You cannot pick and choose your food on the five-day program.

Pros: Easy, many choices, decent food
Cons: Expensive, can get boring fast

I am a very cute, round featured, little person! If I do say so myself, I have been awesome over the years for keeping my weight curvy, yet trim for my height...In my life, I have been a chubby kid, an I-will-eat-what-I-want-I-don't -care preteen, an ...

Pros: Keeps you from feeling hungry, teaches you good eating habits.
Cons: May be hard to follow if other family members are not on it.

I have been on Nutrisystem (NS) for about three months now and have lost 20 pounds so far. I would probably have lost more, but my husband is on the plan, too, and we take weekends off. He has lost 40, and both of us love the simplicity of this plan. We w ...

Pros: NutriSystem was easy to follow, I've kept the weight off for almost 4 years.
Cons: I was on the program for full time four months. I have no cons.

Pros: Convenient ordering, no meetings to attend.
Cons: Expensive, bland food; tiny portions.

Pros: The plan is a no-brainer, just grab the food and go.
Cons: Expensive, the food tastes terrible.

Pros: Food is easy to prepare. Diet is easy to follow.
Cons: Customer service needs to improve. More education can add to your success.

Let's face it, I've tried every diet and I go down and then I go back up with interest. Or, I stay right where I am and give up the diet before I've really given it a chance to work. I'm not very dedicated and my will-power lacks drive. Besides, I am a ...

Pros: Convenient, Good variety, Supportive staff and members, Inexpensive
Cons: If you love to cook, you might not enjoy this program.

I have struggled with my weight for pretty much my entire life. I know how difficult it is to lose weight and also how difficult it is to maintain it.

The NutriSystem program is the best way to go if you have a hectic lifestyle, or if you...

Pros: effective, has variety, is flexible
Cons: preserved meals, is costly, small portions, not environmentally friendly

Pros: Delicious food, easy to follow plan, done completely online in the privacy of your home.
Cons: A little pricey

After having my second baby in 2005 I was having a hard time getting that last 10-15 pounds of pregnancy weight off. It wasn't much, but enough to make me self conscious and really want to get it off fast. I have tried other diets in the past and for ...

Pros: Portability, convenience, practicality, variety, overall taste.
Cons: Sliminess and/or gritty texture for some meals, $$$.

Pros: It works. Food tastes great. Great selection. Teaches portion control.
Cons: Somewhat expensive. Stay away from baked goods. Order from the menu--don't get their pre-packaged assortment

Over the past 15 years, I have gained weight--just a few pounds each year. This year, I turn 40 and hated to do it about 110 pounds overweight at almost 300 pounds. I have tried gimmick diets before like the Atkins diet. I also tried to just "cut ...

Pros: Easy to follow, convenient, tasty food, bear prizes, WORKS!
Cons: A little expensive, gall stones in the past, unclear maintenance plan
