working out had never worked for me...my scarsdale diet does and this involves certain combination of food and portions... i can still continue doing scarsdale but i want to try something new... ergo, the nutrisystem....

i chose this because this has the most ratings and good reviews among the different sites and independent companies comparing diets that i've checked so far.....

i actually had 3 on my list:
weight watchers
jenny craig
nutrisystem

here's one of the sites i've seen:

http://www.topdietreview.com/

whether that's a real non-bias site or not, i guess i won't really know but i have seen several reviews and it's those 3 i've listed above that's been dominating and that people said works....but you already know what i chose...

i got my off-the-shelf set of food yesterday (it comes on two delivery, off-the-shelf and frozen).... the off-the-shelf consists of 2 boxes....i waited for that first order to arrive for more than a week.... my second delivery would be frozen food....i don't know how long it would take for that to arrive...the first order is good for 1 month.....

by the way, i ordered their gourmet.... it's just a few dollars more than the basic  so i thought, what the heck...so i got the gourmet.... i like the food im seeing in my two boxes so far...after i finished the gourmet and i still want to continue nutrisystem i'm shifting to basic.....
