LOL I could never stand the eggs! I'm trying something different now to see if I can shock the body into weight loss again--low carb, which worked for me before.

Good luck with it!

ldmom · 12-24-2007, 07:07 PM

I was considering doing NutriSystem. Do you pick the food by calories? Do they tell you how many calories you should be eating?
My son recently lost 40 lbs on NS and I havent gotten ahold of him to ask that.
