7. No Shame from Me....I have lost with both Nutrasystem and with Medifast

The Nutrasystem community boards was populated by rabid teabag types and the company does support conservatives. Nevertheless...I think it can teach you valuable skills in portion control. I was rarely hungry and some of the food was not awful.....I sometimes still crave the veggie lasagna and their burger was ok too. Find a group of folks you can interact with on the boards...They aren't all loonies.

Medifast was also successful for me but it was much harder as the food consisted of mostly shakes and soups.

My main concern with programs like this is the amount of chemicals and preservatives used in the processing. I suppose it's a toss up when you are carrying around so much weight it is creating other problems.

I am far from goal weight and may consider going back on nutrisystem again. I am having knee surgery at the end of the month and will need to psych myself up again to eat to reduce.
