Just wanted to share my success!

I've been battling my weight my entire adult life. I never had to worry about what I ate as a kid, but once I turned 18, I just started gaining. I lost a bunch of weight for my wedding and was feeling great, but then once the wedding was over, it all came back. I was on my way to losing it again when I got pregnant.
Well, my daughter is now 4 and I still have the weight to prove I was once pregnant! I've been struggling for about 2 years to try to find something that works for me. I tried Weight Watchers with minimal success....I tried South Beach with a little more success...but eventually everything seemed to stop working, or I just got too comfortable with it and was making bad choices.
In August, I saw a friend I hadn't seen in about a month and she looked fantastic! I asked her about how she lost the weight and she told me she'd been using NutriSystem. I was a little skeptical because I'd always heard the food was nasty. But she was so enthusiastic about it that I decided to give it a shot!
I'm happy to report that in almost 2 months I've lost 14 pounds (32 pounds in about 2 years)!! I'm just about back at my pre-pregnancy weight again and I feel great!! The food is not disgusting at all and it's so easy for me to keep on track!! Finally, I think I really understand what portion control means!

I just wanted to share because I know there are so many people that struggle....and feel like failures when popular methods like WW don't work for them.
