From the very beginning, I was hooked. I found daily motivation from the newsletters and reading the success stories on the site. I loved trying all of the new recipes on JillianMichaels.com, and logged my food every day, focusing on calories in and calories out.
...the sincere sense of community I felt on the Message Boards, made me feel like I belonged and gave me the strength I needed to begin believing in myself again. I also loved Jillian’s in-your-face, aggressive approach to weight loss, and how she doesn’t take no for an answer or give in to excuses.

When the box from Nutrisystem showed up, I was a little scared at first. But I quickly found that the program was really easy to do. With Nutrisystem, you pick what you want throughout the day, and you customize it based on your own palate.
Nutrisystem was extremely easy to follow and stick to, and it allowed me to focus my attention and energy not on counting points or calories, but on the things that really matter, like my wife and family. And as the weight started to come off I felt my energy levels increase, which resulted in my being able to start exercising again.
