This is a partnered post with Nutrisystem. All opinions are my own and may differ from yours.
The biggest things that I have learned about while on Nutrisystem’s my way plan is portion size and eating more vegetables. Normally I would eat my vegetables at dinner time, but now I am eating them as snacks throughout the day. I normally eat about 4 to 6 cups of vegetables a day. My favorite veggies to snack on are carrots, broccoli, green beans, and bell peppers. I usually go to my local grocery store or farmers market and stock up on them at the beginning of each week. Every day, along with my Nutrisystem items, I load up a large Tupperware with my veggies for the day. These have been very helpful in keeping my calorie intake low and making my metabolism continue to burn calories throughout the day. I knew vegetables were important, but now because of Nutrisystem they are a must in my daily diet routine.
Now that I have followed the Nutrisystem my way plan for 2 months it is time to share my measurement update. Here is a chart that I have created to help show what gains I have made in the last 8 weeks:
| Measurement | Start | Now |
| Arms | 16 inches | 15 inches |
| Chest | 47 inches | 44 inches |
| Waist | 42 inches | 38.5 inches |
| Hips | 46 inches | 43 inches |
| Thighs | 26 inches | 25 inches |
| Weight | 233 pounds | 213 pounds |
I have one more month on Nutrisystem and I would like to get down to 200 pounds. Ideally I would like my waist to be 34 inches and I will get there, but this month’s goal is at least to 36 inches. To accomplish those goals I will have to increase my cardio, legs and abdominal workouts. If I can hit those two goals for this month I will be ecstatic. Thank you for following along with me on my journey. I really appreciate all the supportive comments; I read every one of them. Well, I am going to head out to the garage and enjoy a movie workout. See you next week!

Wow! You have been doing a great job! I have to agree about eating more veggies. I doubt that most days I get 6 servings. Keep up the great work!

You’re doing such a great job! Exercise is usually where I fall behind, but now that the weather is warming up I’m hoping to get outside and exercise more.

Whenever I’m not actively trying to lose weight, I am horrible about not eating enough veggies. Once I start eating them more though I always start feeling really good! You’re doing awesome!
