Hi Dottie, Many years ago when I was still working, I lost over 100 lbs using NutriSystem. The food wasn't great but I did OK. The problem is you can't stay on it forever. When I went off the regimen I regained the 100 lbs plus over 100 more. I believe there are two reasons it does work. Portion control is the MAIN reason it works IMO. You need to figure this out anyway so why not do it now, save the money, and have a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle. The second reason is (at least when I did it) the weekly meeting; knowing I had to face someone every week and how "disappointed" she would look if I didn't lose made me less inclined to do that little tiny cheat.
I finally had to resort to bariatric surgery and lost over 150 lbs. It's drastic and not for everyone. If you want the regimen, I really suggest Weight Watchers. It's not inexpensive, either and there are the rah rah meetings (a particular dislike of mine), but you don't have to use their food and it's easier to go out either to public or private occasions where you will be eating.
Whatever you decide, I wish you success. Getting rid of extra weight be it 10 lbs or 100, will definitely help with whatever your health problem. Remember to get in the excercise; otherwise nothing will work permanently. Joyce in Delaware
