I’ve also been following Nutrisystem's Motivational Success System. This certainly put a whole new perspective on losing weight and was just what I needed. It helped me understand why all my previous attempts at losing weight were unsuccessful and what I needed to do to change that. After finishing the Success Program, I decided to get some personalized coaching from Dr Smoot, Nutrisystems's Success Coach and creator of this great motivational program. Wow, what an incredible experience; Dr. Smoot has been absolutely amazing and so supportive. Thanks again Nutrisystems for helping me achieve so many of my goals and showing me the right (and permanent) way to lose fat and get fit! I highly recommend Nutrisystems to everyone!"

"I am totally thrilled with my NutriSystem membership. I was using a personal trainer in a gym three times a week for 5 months at several hundreds of dollars a month. Now, for less than $20 a month I can have the same personal guidance, but not with just one personal trainer, but with 30 different experts, as well as full access to all of their programs and software - and I don't even have to drive to the gym! I have kept the same 3 times a week schedule but I am now doing the workout out of my home, using your General Fitness programs. I had an exercise room in my home for over 10 years but never used it regularly. I didn't have any goals or programs to follow. Your workout programs have been absolutely wonderful and I'm so excited about the results I'm achieving! I just started Phase 1 three weeks ago and I always look forward to my next workout. The workouts are very well designed, and if I stretch properly in between sets as you recommended, I actually feel a lot better the days that I work out. In the three weeks that I have been a NutriSystem member, I have learned so much more about strength training than in 5 months with my previous personal trainer (that I spent a fortune on). Most gym personal trainers seem to like uninformed clients. They probably see that as a way to keep them coming back. But they are wrong. Knowledge gives you the control and motivation that you need to keep working out!! All your programs, online books and videos, and your obvious desire to educate your clients, are so rare in the fitness industry and so wonderful! I am no longer just going through the motions with a personal trainer. And I'm already well on my way to achieving my goals! I would like to thank you for getting me so excited about working out, and for helping me look and feel my best. I don't think I ever have to worry about not exercising regularly anymore. I am hooked!" Catherine Wright cwright@accessdevelopment.net

"Once I joined the Nutrisystem website I realized that I had always approached weight loss the wrong way. No other program explained daily meal planning as well as the Nutrisystems Customized Diet Plan and their consultants did. They helped me customize my own diet plan and determine my daily caloric amount and nutrient ratio directly on the website. The nutrition experts were a great help in modifying the sample meal plans to suit my needs and tastes. Now my whole family eats healthy foods we never thought we would enjoy and I have totally changed how I arrange meals during the day. Joining Nutrisystem provided all the information and motivation I needed to reach my goals. With constant help and support from Chad Tackett and Dani Myers, two of Nutrisystems's consultants, I followed workouts that were challenging but varied enough to prevent boredom. I also like using Protrack, their fitness tracking software, to keep records of my meals, workouts and weight loss progress. Besides learning how to eat and exercise properly, it really is the Nutrisystems motivational resources that make this program far better than any other for me. The Get Motivated For Life program they offer with membership taught me SO MUCH; not only about setting goals, but handling temptations and overcoming obstacles for fitness as well as for life. Now I set aside time to work on mental challenges that affect my success by constantly monitoring progresses, insights, set-backs, negative self-talk, and gratitude. I wholeheartedly believe that this is really where I have made the biggest strides in re-creating my life. The last 3 months have been an incredible journey of mind, body and soul. Not only am I now in control of what, when and how much goes in my mouth and what goes on in my head, I love going to the gym and feeling fit and strong. Even better, my neck, back and feet don't hurt at all anymore. I have new-found confidence, which comes from knowing that I'll always have the tools and support from Nutrisystems to continue to lead this positive, self-assured, athletic lifestyle no matter what future challenges life throws my way. I am extremely proud of my accomplishments: loosing 32 lbs of fat and gaining 10 lbs of toned muscle!! I have the Nutrisystems Online Fitness Program to thank for helping redirect my life. Thank you to all the Nutrisystems staff for providing such an incredibly comprehensive resource to help me and others achieve our goals. My family and I are forever grateful!"
