"Since signing up at Nutri Systems three months ago I have already lost 40 pounds and dropped my body fat from 20% to 12%! I have also significantly increased my strength, muscle size, and tone. I have never felt better or had more energy. People everywhere are coming up to me and saying, "You look great, what have you been doing?" I really have to give a lot of the credit to Chad Tackett and the rest of the Nutri Systems team! The support and motivation I have received from them has been absolutely incredible! When I first started, Chad helped me choose a very effective weight training program and a diet that would fit my schedule and help me reach my fitness goals. He also helped me understand the importance of a good cardio routine and offered suggestions for making my workouts a lot more effective. The amount of information available at the web site and the prompt replies that I've received to all my questions from their experts is unbelievable. It's like having a personal trainer with you 24 hours a day just waiting to answer your every fitness question. And following their weight training programs are so simple, yet very effective. Before joining Nutri Systems I hadn't really touched any weights since High School, but it was easy to get started again because each workout is clearly laid out. And each exercise also has step-by-step instructions and if you still need help with proper technique, there is an online video demonstration as well. Your program is so great and it really does work. The results I've seen after only the first 12 weeks are incredible! I can't wait to get started on the next 12 weeks. The excellent support and all the wonderful programs and tools make Nutri Systems well worth the small price of membership. I would strongly encourage anyone who is interested in improving his or her overall fitness to join your program. Thank you for everything and keep up the good work!" Brent Stapleton brent_s@netzero.net "I must admit that all the guidelines, tips, and techniques provided by the Nutrisystems Customized Diet Plan are excellent! I have always been a health-conscious eater, but after implementing the principles of the Nutrisystems Customized Diet Plan, along with your personal recommendations, I have experienced excellent, measurable results in a very short time." A week later Michael writes…. "It's been a week since my last update, and I am very pleased to say that my success with this great nutrition plan continues. With each passing day, I am able to tune the Nutrisystems Customized Diet Plan to my individual needs and nutritional demands. I have had an abundance of energy, increased strength, and I just keep getting leaner. Thank you!" Michael DeSimone desimon@us.ibm.com

"For me, it all started just over two years ago when I realized I was not the "thin" woman that I used to be nor was I the thin woman I thought of myself as being. I had changed jobs from a very active physical one to one where I sat in front of the computer 8 hours a day. My doctor had put me on a medication for some female problems, with one side effect being weight gain. I had just passed my 31st birthday, and I had crept up to 145 lbs and 30% body fat before I realized it. My first mission was weight loss. I started by going to the gym where I had paid dues for several years but had only been a handful of times. For the past two years I had been doing strength-training with sporadic cardio workouts, and I was feeling pretty good about myself, as I was down to 135lbs and 25.79% body fat. But I still had that last little hump that I needed to get over. I continually struggled with my cardio workout as it was always the first thing that I cut from my day and the last thing I wanted to get out of bed for. But then I found global-fitness.com, joined their online fitness program, and hooked up with one of their wonderful experts, Dani Myers. I was never so glad to "meet" someone in my whole life. What a godsend! I never realized how ignorant I was about nutrition until I joined Nutrisystems. I learned so much! And the workouts were designed to very easy to do on my own...and extremely effective! There is just so much knowledge on the Nutrisystems website, and I love all the personal support and guidance. The Nutrisystems site is by far the easiest to get around, and most of the programs, resources, and experts at your fingertips, 24 hours a day. So my new mission was to enter Nutrisystems's 12-week fitness contest and get between 16-18% body fat. With the Dani's help via Nutrisystems, I planned my strategy. I would continue with my 3 day/week strength-training, do a regular cardio workout 3 hrs/week, and modify my diet. I took my before pictures and I forged ahead. I noticed changes in my body very quickly and at the 6-week mark, I had dropped to 122 lbs and 20.16 % body fat -13 lbs and 5% in 6 weeks! It was just mind-boggling to me that I could make these kind of changes so quickly. I couldn't wait to see what the next 6 weeks would hold. I was actually getting these little lines in my stomach (a dream come true). I checked my body fat and weight weekly to make sure that my lean muscle mass was not dropping and that it was just fat that was decreasing. At the end of 12 weeks, I had achieved my goal: 17.3% body fat and 115 lbs. I lost a total of 20lbs & 8.5% of fat. I have never felt this fit or healthy in my life, ever. People in my office building keep stopping me and asking me how I made these dramatic changes and I'm always happy to tell my story. I had two people in one week refer to me as an athlete (I had always thought of myself as an indoor girl) - what a compliment! I am going to keep my hard-earned body and I'm happy and confident that Nutrisystems is there to help me do it. Thank you, Nutrisystems, for everything, I really appreciate your wonderful web site and all the wonderful programs, knowledge and support! And a very special thanks to Nutrisystems's Exercise Expert, Dani Myers, who helped me be the best me I can be." Trina Merrell TrinaM@biinc.com "Good Afternoon, Dani! Well, this is my last week on the 4 days a week, Phase 3, Intermediate Bodybuilding program. I must say, I've definitely received the results that I so desperately wanted! When you placed me on this 12- week program in January, I was 152 pounds and 24% body fat, with very little muscle tone and definition. The last time I checked, which was a little over a month ago, I was 146 pounds, 18% body fat, with excellent muscle definition and tone. Thanks so much for all your wonderful help! This has been an awesome program for me and I'll definitely recommend it to all my friends." Donyelle Shorter shorterd@hotmail.com

"When I first learned about the Global-Fitness.com online fitness program I thought, 'That's great, but it's not really something for me.' I have always been thin and never struggled with weight loss; instead, the biggest struggle I have had is keeping the weight on! Even though I have always been thin and very active in sports, I have never been completely confident with my appearance. I knew if I really ate a lot, I could probably gain a little weight, but I was not interested in doing so if it just meant I would increase my body fat and not necessarily improve my physical appearance. After much thought, I contacted Chad at Global-Fitness.com and asked him if he could help me gain weight (muscle) while decreasing my body fat percentage. I received an immediate response and decide to join. Chad set me up on a 'bodybuilding' program, and encouraged me to consult with their 'Nutritional Supplement Expert' for supplement recommendations - products that were right for me. Being six feet tall and weighing only 156 pounds, I desperately wanted to increase my weight without adding unnecessary body fat. I have always been physically active and lifted weights occasionally, but I have never followed a weight lifting program, personalized nutrition plan, or taken any nutritional supplements. I knew that it would be difficult to increase my body weight while eating healthy, low-fat foods and exercising regularly, but I had complete faith in the recommendations from Chad and the rest of their experts. The program that Chad set up for me was a four-day per week bodybuilding program in addition to regular cardiovascular workouts, as well as nutritional recommendations that were specifically for me and my goals. Anytime I needed advice or just encouragement, Chad and his experts responded quickly and were always there to support me in my endeavor. After just a few weeks, I started to notice an increase in my strength and I also noticed improvements in my basketball game - an unexpected, but welcome benefit from my new fitness routine. By six weeks into my program, I was already noticing significant changes. I had gained four pounds of muscle and not only was I feeling much stronger, I looked a lot more toned and muscular, and my energy level had increased dramatically. This was just the kind of motivation that I needed to keep me excited about my program. Chad's continuing advice, nutritional recommendations and the Monday motivation's were very beneficial throughout my program. When I received my twelve-week photos I was shocked; I couldn't believe that was actually a picture of me! Upon starting, I weighed 156 pounds and my body fat percentage was 11.5%. During the course of the twelve weeks, I was able to increase my lean muscle weight by more than 15 pounds and decrease my body fat by 3%! I now weigh 166 pounds and my body fat percentage is 8%! Chad and the Global-Fitness.com experts have helped me transform my body into the strong and muscular body that I truly never thought I could have! I have improved my overall health, my appearance, and I feel great about my achievements; my confidence level is at an all-time high and I have never felt better! Global-Fitness.com helped me make a life-change! I owe this to Chad and his expertise and all the personal guidance I received from his team. I strongly recommend their online fitness program to everyone!" Seven months later, Jamin writes...
