Belinda Carlisle lost 20 lbs.*

"Being part of an all-girl band was a blast, but being singled-out as the plump one really bugged me."

Growing up, I was always considered the funny, chubby one, and it was an issue all through my childhood years. Kids could be very hurtful. And then, when the Go-Gos became successful and we were on the cover of every magazine, the description they used for me was always, "the pretty plump one" or, "the cute, chubby one." My name was always mentioned in context to my weight. Well, of course, it's never nice being called names or hearing negative descriptions of yourself, especially when it's something that's pushed your buttons for years and
years already.

"Hearing people say, 'Oh Belinda looks fabulous,' or, 'She's so sexy,' totally beats hearing, 'Here
comes Blimpa.'"

Nutrisystem worked for me because it was a no-brainer. I didn't have to weigh or count things—it was all laid out for me. I can apply what I've learned through Nutrisystem to my everyday life. I feel healthier than I've felt in years because now I make wise food choices. It's just so simple. I live in France where they eat lots of carbs—lots of pasta and rice. And on Nutrisystem, I still get to eat carbs. It's delicious, it's tasty and I really look forward to my meals.

"It's never too late to reinvent yourself, and there's no better time
than today."

I get asked quite a bit about my weight loss and what I eat, and I'm happy to tell people. I feel better than I have in years, and if it wasn't for NutriSystem I wouldn't be looking and feeling this way. I've done the whole calorie-counting thing—it didn't work for me. At the end of the day, it's all about learning how to make good choices, and NutriSystem taught me how to do that. It's about modifying your behavior and your patterns. And, remembering that it's never too late to look good!
