Day 19

Today is my first day writing this blog. I decided to write this so I can help others and give myself an outlet to my weight loss journey. So.. a little bit about myself. I'm 22 years old. I just graduated from college with a degree in Integrative Science with a concentration in Forensics. I have met the love of my life, Ryan, who I have been dating for the past year and a half.

I started Nutrisystem on April 26, 2015. The first week was tough since I was on their "Fast 5" plan. Those shakes were sooooo disgusting, I actually had to stop drinking them because it was getting to the point that I wouldn't be able to keep it down. I also didn't like the pasta meals, but that was the combination of me not liking pasta and the fact that it had been packaged in the sauce so it was all mushy. The first week I had lost 11 pounds my first week.

My second week went much better, but since I lost so much my first week I only lost 2 pounds last week. I was still happy that I lost weight and my family is saying that I already look thinner. I can't see it yet, but my mom can't see in herself how much she has lost in the past couple of years. For exercise I have been walking on the treadmill, zumba and just dance.

I really like the melts that they have for lunches. They are similar to hot pockets. I really don't care for the meal bars that they have. They're good, but I can't really get behind only eating that and veggies for lunch or only a bar for breakfast.

This week I'm on track that I could hit the 20 pound mark which is really exciting. I will post the photo of me with my nutribears when they come. I will answer any questions that are asked. I'll also post my progress photos as I continue in my journey.
