JuJu my wife went on the Nutrisystem D menu...
she was on the verge of going on insulin...
after just 3 months the Dr. has taken her off most of the Diabetic meds..The Junuvia was 238.00 a MONTH alone.....
her blood sugar is almost a perfect 7 in her latest A1C results....blood pressure is normal and 23 pounds lighter...it is a good thing.... :D

We are doing our own Health care program WITHOUT the government!!

Love ya babe....

Congrats it is great to hear that, but... she doesn't have to go to any system, I dropped mine from 7.5 to 7 and now last week 6.5. I started simple and make consistent meals without carbs and no potatoes - it works.

WTG, JuJu!
And the garden [fresh veggies & the physical work to produce them] is a big help, I bet.

heh heh..I just grabbed the first salty thing I could find, cuz I was out sweating in the garden...should have stuck to my sunflower seeds..you gotta eat a lot for a calorie.

Greg...you're absolutely right...that and portion control is the main thing..and I know this part is easier for me than you guys out on the road..but I keep pretty active especially in the summertime.

Like I just ran screaming up from the basement steps..I'd gone down to store the beans I put up today and there was a cute little garter snake waiting for me on the steps. I got him though..he's now laying tracks down in the trailer park gravel.....and my heart is back to pumping normally. Thank God it wasn't a rattlesnake like Ken killed last week!!!!!!!

The system taught her portion control and what effected her the most..that is why she is off the "system" now...

She was almost a 9.1 before she started the "program"

I wil give you two great ideas for portion control;

get smaller bowls and dishes. If you can't fit it in the bowl, you should have it.

go to lunchinabox.net It is a really great bento site that has a lot of great ideas. I recommend reading bento FAQs and look for FAQ about sizing your bento boxes, it is a great bit of info.

On the road I'm spending about $8 a day on food, usually three Subway 6" sandwiches with lots of veggies.

Congrats, If Nutri systems work for you go with it. Nothing wrong with that at all.

And he's doing great on his first week...down 7 pounds already. If those shorts slide off his butt, will someone please pull them up..*l*

Thanks xiggi..sure hope I can lose even more. You must have one of those great metabolism...btw...like the new pic of you.

And Greg...that sub is a carb ya know...and it sounds delicious. It's probably a good thing I'm so far away from fast food so I can't get tempted and I do.....
