This is my journey to become a healthier me. It began on January 26, 2010 and stalled out... I got a type 2 diabetes diagnosis on March 30, 2022 and started to focus on my health again. On November 8, 2022 I added Ozempic to my toolbox to help me shed some pounds and inches!

Recipes

Here are some great, low calorie recipes that can fit into your weight loss program whether you're following Nutrisystem or your own weight loss plan!

Many of these recipes were posted while I was on the Nutrisystem program and may use Nutrisystem entrees, however, it's easy to come up with your own substitutes! If you're unsure how to classify a recipe or are looking for nutritional information on the older recipes, feel free to comment and I'll be happy to help.
