I’ve developed L4-L5 acute lumbar stenosis which is pressing against my sciatic nerves. At 300 pounds, I knew I had to do something. My pain management doctor said the best thing, short of surgery (which I do NOT want) is to drop the weight. That was my motivation.

I’ve been on Nutrisystem and so far am down 60 pounds. I definitely see a difference in lessening my back pain. Got a ways to go, but I plan to keep it up.

Get in a pool. Even better, a warm water pool.
Spend the money.

Will be worth every penny.

Good job. I am down 55 and want to lose 75 total. The difference I feel is night and day.

That’s great!! I’m down 70 in the last 8 months and feel so much better! You keep going! I’ve had 4 major lower back surgeries and you do NOT want to have it if you can avoid it.

Congrats, but I hate to pose a painful, rhetorical question:

What happens when you stop Nutrisystem?
