Nutrisystem Spaghetti With Meat Sauce + Week 4 Results! #nsnation #spon

October 3, 2012 by Dawn McAlexander

Nutrisystem Spaghetti with Meat Sauce ~

On Friday I finished my 4th full week of Nutrisystem. Week 4 of Nutrisystem is down and I am so excited! As always, I would like to share with you something that I really enjoyed this week – Spaghetti with Meat Sauce. I am really enjoying Nutrisystem’s pasta dishes and the Spaghetti with Meat Sauce was no exception. I paired it with this yummy salad with lettuce {we use several types}, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, purple onion and fat free Ranch Dressing. I have decided to share with you real pictures of the food so that you can get a more honest review. 🙂

I really enjoyed the Nutrisystem Spaghetti with Meat Sauce

Something else that I have really been enjoying with Nutrisystem is the online community. I love the chat room. I find it very encouraging to find others who are in similar situations who are persevering. There are so many people who participate in the Nutrisystem chat room who have lost tons of weight – and most importantly, kept it off.

Admittedly, I did not lose as much this week as I had the weeks previously. But let’s talk about accountability. I ate cheese pizza one day. I have done so good on the program so far without eating “cheat” foods but this week I caved. I guess I was so excited about the big loss that I had last week that I thought I deserved a reward. However, the *real* reward here is the weight loss. And I need to remind myself of that. 🙂

So, I paid for my indiscretion when I stepped on the scale. However, I also started working out more, so that could have impacted my weight as well. I am into week 5 now, as I write this and I am doing so much better with cravings this week. I am very much looking forward to stepping on the scale again this Friday and seeing how much I have lost.

Everyone, please wish me luck! Nutrisystem offers these cool little Nutrisystem bears for every 10 pounds you lose. I really hope that I can send you a picture of one that I *earned* shortly! I am very excited. 🙂

So how did I do on Nutrisystem this week?

Week 1 Total –> 2 pounds lost

Week 2 Total –> 2 pounds lost

Week 3 Total –> 2.1 pounds lost

Week 4 Total –> 0.6 pounds lost

Program Total —> 6.7 pounds lost

    Instead of pouring dressing on top of your salad, pour the dressing on the side and dip the tip of your fork in it before each bite. You’ll get a taste of the dressing and A LOT less calories.

      That is true. I use the approved amount from Nutrisystem and fat free so I think I am okay there, lol. I have a friend that uses so much dressing that her plate is swimming in it, though! lol! 😀

    The important thing is that the one cheat didn’t derail you. I’m happy for your continued loss, especially when you can eat this way with this yummy food!

    congrats to you!! I have days where I feel like I deserve a “cheat’ day too, but you are very right. The weight loss is the reward, not a cheat day. Keep up the great work! I think I need to try the spaghetti, I haven’t tried that one yet, but it looks really good.
