I couldn't believe how fast Nutrisystems's experts returned my e-mails. Their answers weren't cookie-cutter answers either, they were always specific to my questions, and always easy to understand and follow. As time went on I became more exited about my workouts, especially as I began seeing results. The next step was my nutrition program. I e-mailed Chad and ask him about a diet to help with my cholesterol problem and fat-loss goals. He suggested the Nutrisystems Customized Diet Plan and it was exactly what I needed. Duringthe first 12 weeks on their exercise and nutrition program, I lost 29 lbs. of fat and lowered my cholesterol to 177. I was getting healthier with each passing day. I am so happy that I chose this road to the new me!! Give Nutrisystems and their professional staff a chance to help you achieve your goals! Thank you Nutrisystems for all your support!"

"I just wanted to let you know that the Nutrisystems Customized Diet Plan is working very well. Although I have not had my body-fat calculated yet, I do notice a huge difference after 3 weeks. I now fit into all of my old clothes without a problem. I am down to the last hole on the belts I had a hard time with when I started. I have increased exercise slightly, but since starting your programs, I can tell that my routineis much, MUCH more effective. I know you suggested that I stay away from my weight scales, but I couldn't. It was nice to see that I had actually lost weight - probably between 10-15 lbs. I know this weight loss is fat and not muscle because my strength and muscle mass/tone has increased greatly! I no longer have that constant full feeling that I had just a few weeks ago and have a lot more energy! I have also been able to continue socially over the weekends with just a little cheating. I've learned how to strike an excellent balance between enjoyable and effective so I can still have fun, yet also achieve the results I want. I can't wait to see my accomplishments at the end of the year and I'm so glad I joined your program and purchased the additional Nutrisystems Customized Diet Plan nutrition plan. Thanks so much for everything!" Al Fox allostweight@tack4.com

"I was in search of a personal trainer, but soon realized that they are very expensive. I was searching the web for training programs and came across Nutrisystems. I checked out the site and it was very helpful; I was a little skeptical that anyone could offer me something I did not already know. Having a degree in physiology myself along with many years of training, I was not sure if Nutrisystems was going to be worth it. I e-mailed the contact at the website and they were very helpful and I decided to go with them for their very reasonable rates. Nutrisystems assigned me my own personal trainer and I was off and running to my first body building contest. The best thing I ever did was sign up with Nutrisystems. My trainer was with me EVERY DAY offering much needed advice and support. In the end I surprised her and myself with my second place finish at my first contest. I did it all with Nutrisystems's help, good food, and no unsafe, ineffective thermogenic products. The e-mail consulting was great for me because of my past training knowledge, but it would not have mattered if I had zero prior experience. I still went to the exercise and nutrition guides for reinforcement and to refresh my memory. And I would use their many other resources on the site as well. I would certainly recommend Nutrisystems to anyone who is motivated to meet his or her goals. I will be using my trainer at Nutrisystems for my next contest too. Thanks for everything!" Jodean A.

Hi Chad, I bought The Nutrisystems Customized Diet Plan in August and I would like to comment my results throughout these last couple of months. When I started, I weighed 102 Kgs, my pants size was 38", and my shirts neck size was 18". Today I weigh 90 Kgs, my pants size is 31" and my shirts neck size is 17"! When I first started, I didn't take a picture of my self because I didn't think I would change that much but know I think it would have be great to have my beginning picture. In addition to the Nutrisystems Customized Diet Plan, I followed the customized strength routines; I finished body building phase one, 3 day per week and I'm now on phase two, 4 days per week. I will look for some old photos and take one of me now so you can see the results. I think you'll be impressed. Thanks for everything; I will be telling everyone about your incredible program."

"I am 69 years old and have been on one diet or another since I was 39. Then I found The Nutrisystems Customized Diet Plan through Global-Fitness.com. I weighed 210 when I started in August, 2001, and currently now weigh 179 and am still counting down. I probably would have lost more fat, but we have been on three 7-day cruises since September. My pants size has gone from a tight 40 to a comfortable 37. My size 36 Levi's are still a little too tight, but I can fasten them and sit down in them. I know they will fit comfortably before long. I bought a couple of new pants about a month before the last cruise and another pair about a week before. When I dressed for dinner the first night they were all too big. The ship's tailor was able to alter the newest pair to fit, but the others were so big that the back pockets came together when he tried to take the waist in. It was wonderful. Fortunately, the tux was a rental, so the size was not a problem. I am so pleased with the way now I look that I am going to buy a tux. I have been the world's slowest runner for the last 17 years, usually dragging in at about a 15-minute mile. Since I have been following The Nutrisystems Customized Diet Plan my speed has improved phenomenally. I am now running easily at an 11, sometimes 10-minute mile. I can now run about 30 miles per week. When I got out of the service in 1955 I weighed 170 pounds. That is my goal and I know that I will make it with your great program and all the personal attention you and your experts give me. I am very comfortable with this sensible, effective diet plan. It allows for a lot of variety and the food suggestions are great! I will soon be at a maintenance level, but it won't be all that different, just a few more calories, as well as the easy-to-follow guidelines within your program. The problem I had with other diets is that my metabolism shut down to avoid starvation. But not with the Nutrisystems Customized Diet Plan. This is by far the very best program I have found for weight (fat) loss and improved performance!" David Powell talldave@wt.net
