Weight Loss Scoreboard: Week 16

Today marks the end of my fourth month on the NutriSystem diet plan. So was my 16th week as good as the previous fifteen? Or did I suffer my first gain of the program?

Not my best work. If my dieting was to be described with Picasso paintings, this week would be one of those lesser-known works that no museum wants and instead winds up in the home of some private collector in Belgium.

My two flex meals were my downfall this week I think. I felt like I might have let them be a little too liberal and with one of them yesterday before my weigh-in, I don’t think that meal did me any favors. But, a loss is a loss and since the advertised average for NutriSystem is 1-2 lbs. a week, I feel like I’m okay. Plus, I still haven’t had a flat or gain week — so I’ll definitely take that.

So how did you guys do with your guesses?

Seems like the majority of you were a bit too optimistic, but I hope to be back in the 3-4 lb. range again next week. Of course, this weekend is the Super Bowl, so I wouldn’t guess too high if I were you.

For those that don’t know, I post this poll each Wednesday and encourage you to participate. On Thursdays, I do my weekly weigh-in and post the results.

I also have a new bear to show off.

Meet “Determination” the 40 pound NutriBear. I have also earned the 50 lb. bear and he/she is on the way (I hope). The one downside of NutriSystem is they seem to have trouble keeping track of the bears.

Anyway, thanks as always for your support. We’ll chat again next week!
