Week 1 on Nutrisystem Fast 5: Results!

I can’t believe it’s been 1 week since I started my Nutrisystem journey. This was my Fast 5 week, it was a week full of emotions, I was happy, excited, hungry, and nervous. For those of you that aren’t familiar with Nutrisystem’s Fast5, it’s basically a week of preparation. The Fast 5 is a 7-day program during the first week of the Nutrisystem program. This first week is structured and basic.  The idea behind Fast 5 is fro your body to shed excess water weight and to get you focused and motivated on following a plan, kicking off your weight loss and motivating results.

This is the Fast 5 box and what’s inside, the only thing you add is water and produce.

During the week of Fast 5 you stick to a very structured diet containing: 3 Nutrisystem meals a day, unlimited non-starchy veggies (but at least 4 servings), 1 Energi-Zing shake, 1 Craving Crusher shake and lots of water. The recommended minimum is 64 oz of water per day. I honestly didn’t have a hard time with the water since I drink a lot as it is. I have a water bottle that is 25 oz, this way I know that if I fill it 3 times I am over the recommended daily amount. Let’s take a look at Day 1 in meals so you can get an idea of what the menu is like…

Monday: Day 1

So how was my week….trully…I am not going to lie. I was hungry The first couple of days. It didn’t seem to matter how many veggies I ate, or how much water I drank, I was hungry the first couple of days. I woke up hungry and went to bed hungry. But I was so determined to see this through, to prove to myself and others that I could do it!! I have to say that on the 3rd day it was so much easier! It was like I woke up and my body and mind knew what was going to happen. I felt satisfied and was able to go about my day perfectly well.

Let’s talk about the actual Nutrisystem meals! The Fast 5 program comes with all shelf-stable meals. None of the freezer meals are part of Fast 5. The food was better tasting than I imagined and some were so delicious that they are now favorites and I can’t wait to eat them again. I was so happy to see that this program brings a daily tracker. It made following the program a lot easier. I must admit though, my favorite thing is the app! I downloaded the Nutrisystem app on my Android phone and it’s a great app. I can keep track of my weight, water intake, measurements, food, exercise and it even has a journal!

Ok so let’s take a look at the results in numbers.

Starting Numbers:

Weight: 232.8 lbs.

Bust: 43 1/2 inches

Waist: 48 inches

Hips: 53 1/2 inches

Thighs: 27 1/2 inches

Week 1 Results:

Weight: 225.4 lbs. (down 7.4 lbs)

Bust: 43 1/2 inches

Waist: 46 inches (down 2 inches)

Hips: 52 inches (down 1 1/2 inches)

Thighs: 26 1/2 inches (down 1 inch)

I am extremely proud that I stuck to the Fast 5 program 100%. Not a single cheat, not a single deviation. And thanks to that hard work and will power my results are a huge accomplishment! I know that much of the weight loss is water weight, and that it’s because I was on a strict very low calorie diet. But come on if this isn’t a motivational kick in the butt to keep it going, I don’t know what is!

Stay tuned for next week’s update. Subscribe so you don’t miss a single post along my journey. I’ll be eating much more now and I will get to try lots of new meals…including DESSERTS! YAY! DESSERTS!!!!!!!!!!

    I am on day five of the fast 5. Looking for encouragement, because I am hungry. 🙂 I weighed myself this morning trying to muster some motivation and I am down 8 lbs (203 lbs down to 195 lbs). That will get me through the next few days. I am hoping the second week will be easier as a routine builds.

    That’s great!! Love seeing those results. I just finished my Fast Five as well and was super happy with the results, even with a spontaneous dinner out with my hubby that was a total cheat meal. 🙂
