If you have some pounds to lose (whether 5 or 100), you may want to check out this new program by Nutrisystem. Click here to get a free one-week trial. If you don’t like it, cancel anytime in that week and you’re not out anything. If you love it the price starts at $2.69/week (very do-able for most of us).

I lost 30 pounds a couple of years ago and have kept it off so far but it’s always hard (and I know the weight could come back very easily). I love programs that make it easy. Watch the video to get more of a sense of how NuMi works. They have loads of recipes that fit your calorie plan (based on what you have at home). The program offers unlimited tips, advice, and support every single day. There are lots of fitness options you can do wherever you are. I love that it gives you tools to succeed. Losing the excess weight helped me feel so much better, I really want to keep it off for life.

 

Another alternative that worked well for me is My Fitness Pal. Head over here to check it out, it’s a free calorie counter that you can take anywhere. You make what you eat public (which does make eating that cookie a little bit less tempting).

 

If you want to get moving, you can head over here to get a free 3-day pass to any 24 hour Fitness. I’m all for working out for free, but sometimes it’s really nice to take a class (especially when it’s as hot as it is right now)!

If you have a weight loss tip that has worked for you, I’d love to share it! Dumping Diet Coke and drinking unsweetened green tea instead has done a world of good for me.
