180 to 124 lbs in 6 months
Here are some new pics I took the other day, after 6 months on NutriSystem. I have lost 57 lbs now (56 when I took the pics), and I still can't believe the transformation. I am so grateful to have found NS before things got any worse (and by that I mean bigger)... LOL I am now planning on losing until I reach 120 lbs, and then I will begin maintenance. Yahoo!!!!! LOL

P.S. The bad tan lines on my thighs are from running 5 miles outside every day. Gotta get that problem fixed soon!!! :)
My swimsuit pic at 124 lbs, do NOT make fun of my horrible tan lines!

Hi Amanda!
First, thanks. Second, don't be jealous! Imagine all the people who will be jealous of you when you reach goal and model your bikini, in HAWAII!!! Talk about jealousy, don't get me started! LOL Thanks for the kind words, and I'm off to get my daily fix on your blog tonight. Maybe I'll even post a comment tonight instead of just "lurking"! LOL
YOU LOOK SO GOOD!

hehehe....
Alright Jan! That's enough outta you!!! LOL
You look fantastic! And I notice you don't have any cellulite! You lucky girl! It must be from all that running! Keep it up - you look wonderful!!!!!!
Hi Jessica!
NS will do the work for you if you let it! Just stick with the diet as closely to 100% as possible, drink all your water, and get in as much exercise as possible. (I read your blog so I realize you currently have limitations, but I bet you're getting TONS of exercise learning to walk again)! Congrats to you on making such a great decision with NS!
WOW - u are truly an inspiration - I am new to NS - on my 2nd day & will keep your success in my mind for days or weeks to come!!! Thank you -
OMG!!! You don't even look like the same person!!!! You are truly an inspiration to me!! I am struggling to do NS without the food & your blog has helped me soooo much! Thank You!! Your Awesome!!! Laurie
Wow , I am about the same as you and I am trying to get down to 125 130, I need your advice and help pleasseee

Thank you Lesley! Thankfully I fixed my bad tan lines at the end of the season last year. LOL. Have a great day and thanks for the comment.
Amy
You look fantastic. I think you should put out a cook book, it would sell like hot cakes. I know I would buy it.
Thanks Judy! I doubt I'll ever put out a cookbook, but if I did I would let you know. :) All this stuff is so simple that it doesn't seem like cookbook material to me.
Amy
Wow, honey you look great!!!!!! I just found a thread you responded to and I'm so glad I did. I will absolutely be trying those recipes of yours, they look so good. I'm brand new to NS, today is day 3 but I think I would like to try homemade foods along with theirs. Again, you look great and have inspired me. Thanks so much!!
Pat
Thanks Pat! Congrats on choosing NS and getting started on the LAST diet of your life. :) Please give me a holler on the boards if you ever need anything!
Love, Amy
Quick exercise question: how do you find the time and motivation to get out and run when you have two kids and hubby being at work? I have two kids (6month baby and 10yr old son) and have a hard time getting out to run (I am walking for now as I need to lose some more weight since running still hurts my knees). Other then that I ride my exercise bike for 60 minutes 4-6 times a week. I just want to switch things up a bit once in a while...do your hubby and kids join you sometimes? I can't seem to get motivated to leave the house and I know I need to get running again. It's so hard with my baby!

Hi Michelle,
I have a jogging stroller that I used for my daughter when my son was in school and she hadn't started kindergarten yet. It's harder when they're not in school during summer and such. If I want to get in an outdoor workout I have to go out running before my husband leaves for work.
I used to use my exercise bike all the time before I got into running. It's a great workout too. :)
Amy
Amy, your are such an inspiration. I have only been on program for 4 days. Your recipes are something to look forward to when I feel more comfortable with the program. Thanks for posting all your hard work. :)
Thanks so much. :)
Amy
Amy i just placed my first order with NS and found your profile and i was wondering about your workout routine? Also how tall are you? i need to lose about 40lbs and need all the help i can get i am so sick of looking like this!!!!!
Hi! :)
I'm 5'4" and try to get in about an hour of cardio 6 days/week. I also add in some weights a few times per week and some ab work (crunches). Hope that helps!
Amy
You look 10-15 years younger. And, your body looks great.
Thanks for sharing.
Tracy Jimenez
Thanks Tracy!
Your pictures look like they could be mother and daughter. You look so young now! I REALLY appreciate all the work you have put into this blog. It is so helpful to gather information on how to slowiy transition to "normal" food. Thank you and congrats:)
Thank you so much! That means a lot to me.
Amy
Wow! You did fantastic!!! You must be soo proud!!! Everyone is right, you do look so much younger (not that your before picture looked old, but in comparison)!
Thank you so much. I feel younger too, even if I am older now. LOL.
Amy
Amy,
Thanks so much for sharing your recipes. They look amazing and so do you! I began NS 1/3/07 and have lost 26 pounds. I have 10-15 more to go. Please send me the recipes in the text only form when you have a minute. I really appreciate it.
One thing that is truly amazing to me is your eyes! You look awake in the after photos. Who knew that something like that would result from the weight loss? I find that to be truly surprising! Weight really is everywhere, even on your eyelids, LOL! Love the photos.
Hi Renee! Congrats on your great weight loss so far! If you leave me your e-mail address I can send you the text only version of the recipes. Have a good one.
Amy
Thanks so much Denise! So glad you like the pictures. They still surprise me sometimes too when I look at them! Yeah, my eyes were SO squinty when I was overweight (of course I didn't really notice it- just noticed the difference when I lost the weight, LOL). Anyway, thanks! You're sweet.
Amy
You look wonderful
Hi Amy, I also just found your site thru the NS forum. You really should publish your recipes as an ebook and sell them! I would love to have a copy of them if you would be so kind. They look absolutely wonderful and I can still cook for my family and eat the same food!!
Linda
Your recipes look awesome! It was enough to make me go back on Nutrisystem today! You look so young in your after pics and your legs are beautiful!!! Thanks for the inspiration!!! :)
Amy I just wanted to say Thank you for sharing your story.
I am almost the same weight that you started at 180lbs...I started my weightloss journey last June, I lost 40lbs in about 5 months, then the last 3 months on plan I was losing interest, so I quit. I was doing a Herbal program. I have gained back about 8 pounds, putting me back at 178-180, I started at 208.75.
I don't want to gain back anymore weight...it makes me sad that I have ket myself gain back what I have but it is so hard sometimes :(
My mom and I ordered the NS plan on Saturday, it is the weekends off plan and I am so thankful for your recipes because now I know I can stay on plan without having to worry what I am going to eat that might not be such a great choice. I am also NOT going to do the 2 days off back to back, going to split them.
I think you look absolutley amazing. If you have any tips at all please feel free to share.
Thanks again
Kim
What a great job! It's amazing the difference in your face. It's inspiring.
