Rina W. lost 28 lbs.*

"I was so busy taking care of my mother that I didn't take care of myself."

After becoming the primary caregiver to my 96-year-old mother, I found myself caught in a downward spiral as my energy level decreased and my weight increased. Being only 5'1", any weight gain is a big deal. It honestly seemed as if I had lost my own identity. My self-esteem plummeted and my usually healthy diet went down the drain as I dedicated myself to keeping my mother alive. Soon, I found myself eating Hawaiian plate lunches and becoming lethargic lying around the house watching television with my mother all day. In the midst of everything else going on, I gave up my triathlon training although I had been an active triathlete for nearly 25 years. During an annual doctor's visit, my doctor and staff treated me like a new patient giving me the "oh, you poor thing" stare due to my weight gain. Then the nurse further commented that my husband, who was in another examination room, was in tears wishing that I would take better care of myself. I was in denial until this eye-opening experience, so the very next day I ordered a box of Nutrisystem.

"I lost 28 lbs.*, and I feel fantastic!"

I immediately began seeing results after beginning the program. I joined Bikram Yoga (otherwise known at "hot yoga") and started training again to help me achieve my weight loss goal and tone my muscles. Before I knew it, I lost 28 lbs.*! And I feel fantastic. I am now able to fit into my red bunny suit that I wore in Chicago when I was a 23-year-old Playboy® Bunny! I'm almost 60, but I certainly don't feel like it!
