DH and I both did Nutrisystem for 4 months (started in Jan and stopped in Apr). DH lost 20 lb, I lost 15 lb. Post-Nutrisystem, we've continued eating in the much smaller portions we got used to with Nutrisystem and we also continued eating more frequently - snacks between breakfast and lunch and between lunch and dinner. We read labels and try to choose things with more protein and/or fiber and less sugar and/or sodium. I try to stick with shopping the edges of the grocery store (produce/meat/dairy). We've both been exercising and actually tracking our weight. Before Nutrisystem, we didn't even own a scale! We've continued losing weight post-Nutrisystem just not at the same rate (DH another 10 lb, me another 7 lb), but that's OK. At some point soon, we'll just want to maintain, not lose anymore. I don't know for sure what part has contributed the most success, but I am attributing it to the frequent "grazing" throughout the day, the constant monitoring with the scale and my Fitbit nagging me to get those 10,000 steps.
