I’m so excited to share with you that I am a Nutrisystem Nation Blogger and I’ll be following the Nutrisystem program and sharing my weekly progress right here on the blog.

This was probably the first week in a weight-loss program where I did not feel hungry at all.  It’s also probably the first time in a weight-loss program that I’ve felt guilty for eating so many good things, including muffins for breakfast and cookies for dessert!  I’ve seen the commercials and you may have too but I figured the food wasnt that good.

Well in my opinion is really is!

I just completed my first week on Nutrisystem and I’m happy to report I had a really nice weight loss.  Before I give you my number, I want to explain that I retain a lot of water on a regular basis.  I’ve often wondered if it’s because of the high number of carbs I consume on a daily basis because I am normally a carb junkie.  But whenever I start a diet and I follow it properly, I always lose a lot of water weight the first week.   Well this diet was no exception.  With all the water I drank the first day I was in the bathroom about every hour!  So I knew I’d see a significant weight loss.  I also have a lot of weight to lose.  Ultimately over 100 lbs so the more you have to lose, the more you’ll lose in the beginning.

So now you’re wondering how I did?  Well I’m excited to tell you that in the first week of Nutrisystem I lost 8.8 lbs!  And I can already see the difference.

On Monday of last week I went to buy a new outfit to wear for my daughter’s 1st Communion which was yesterday.   I picked out a nice pair of slacks and a pretty spring top.  I didn’t want to wear a dress because I have a big ole black boot on my foot because I have a stress fracture.  Hopefully that is coming off next week, fingers crossed!  But anyways, the slacks I bought were a bit snug, but it was all hidden under my blouse.  I knew that they would fit me better in no time since I just started Nutrisystem and I knew I was bloated!  And I was correct, they fit me much better and I felt so confident because I know I’m just at the beginning of the journey.

Now, I may sound very positive right now and while I will try to stay that way each week, I do know I will have some struggles but it’s the only way I will get there and I believe it’s part of the process.  One of the reasons I haven’t made my goal yet in the past, is once I get to a certain weight I feel so comfortable that I stop paying attention and then I start to slowly gain it back.   But I do have the confidence if I can get past that point (it’s usually around 30 lbs lost) then I will be able to continue.  My hope is if I keep on track long enough, I’ll just develop better habits to avoid it going back on again.

I have a long road ahead of me, and anyone who wants to join me can check in each Monday as I post my results.
