We are doing that at the moment, and you'd never know it was a diet! It means you can have spag bol, chilli and rice or steak of the bbq with SW chips....I think it's great!

:thumbsup:

I've only just eaten but what will I eat in 3 hours that's going to be good for me when I'm not actually hungry. Crap I've run out of rabbit food I don't feel like going to the shops. I've got to chop a million and one veggies, I've been working all day and all I want is something put in front of me but hang on a minute I have to weigh and measure and write down every morsel that's going in my mouth and actually that supper is foul and I'm still hungry but I can't face another apple, I just want some bread.........But I can't because I've had this months carb allowance Aaarrrrghgghhh!

That is the good thing about Nutrisystem or so I am finding so far. You have your meals ready for you so no thinking of what shall I get for dinner - just which one do I want today. You get normal meals for the family and you know that your meal is taken care of. No carb allowances or calorie counting. The food isn't brilliant but it is edible and there is quite a lot of choice. It is also teaching me about portion sizes and that I have to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. Normally don't touch breakfast and rarely lunch but make up for it in the evening. I've also bought myself a small plate and bowl so smaller portions don't look lost on a normal plate.

Hi
The password for this week is dancing. I will try and remember to update it each week if it would be helpful.

Good luck!

Does anyone know where is a good source for recipes? Or the SW password of the week?
Am considering joining online, just so I can access the recipes! The SW website has a few, but not many, and a Google search seems to bring up all the same ones. However, financially, things are a bit on the tight side for the next few months :blink:
