I have been doing the nutrisystem program for 4 MONTHS!!! In that time I have had an anniversary, Halloween, Thanksgiving, husbands birthday, christmas, and don't forget all the weddings and crap I've been to. Even with all these food-full events in the past FOUR MONTHS I have lost 45 pounds. Most of the food is good and it is easy to follow. I have been going to cycling class 4-5 times a week and I feel great! If you want to loose weight I would recommend Nutrisystem and Cycling.
