Starting Week 49 with Nutrisystem

Four quarters on Nutrisystem in the books! I have not tried another weight loss plan so I can't compare, but I can't imagine another being as easy or effective. Don't get me wrong, I don't think, nor am I saying, losing weight is easy, but Nutrisystem certainly makes the process as easy to start, follow, and stay the course, as possible. If you stick with it, you will lose weight. I promised the Nutrisystem team I would post a "before and after" pic in the same outfit at the end of each quarter so here goes...

Toning is now my priority although I'm not as disciplined as I was in the warmer weather. I also still find it a tricky balance to eat enough to keep my body from going into starvation mode without gaining. I don't know if my progress slow down is due to being in the homestretch of reaching my goal, or the fact that I've been experimenting in the last 12 weeks with eating a bit more. Although I seem to need the extra calories on the days I work out, once I get used to having them, it's a slippery slope for me because it's hard to pass them up on the days I don't exercise. 

Nonetheless, I'm happy to continue moving in the right direction and extremely grateful to the Nutrisystem team. I lost .4 lbs. this week for a 48-week total of 44.8 lbs.
