So how do I keep track of everything while on Nutrisystem?
I have tried two ways – the first week I used the Numi app and the second week I used the notepad style tracker. I wanted to try both methods to see which was more convenient for me and which was I more likely to stick with?
So which do I prefer? I totally prefer using the Numi app but before I tell what I like about that – I will tell you why I like the notepad style. I work in an office and although a great deal of my work involves my phone (departments texting etc…), I prefer not to be on my phone for things other than work if I can help it during the day. For that purpose – the notepad style is convenient.
However, Numi is absolutely much more versatile and I always have my phone with me and on me. Some of the things I love about Numi:
- I can scan Nutrisystem foods and Numi automatically recognizes them. I don’t have to use the search feature
- Numi is integrated with my Fitbit Flex – I don’t have to input anything else
- Numi has all the Nutrisystem foods already in their database
- I can search for all other foods or even create custom foods – which will show up in my future searches
- It allows me to log my water – for me that is at least as important as logging the food
- I can view my progress as long as I log my weight frequently
Here are some screen shots of the Numi app – so after using it the first week and not using it the second week – I am definitely going back to using it. I was not as accountable as I could have been in the second week!
Okay so I won’t keep you waiting any longer – another pound lost. I wish it was more but I wasn’t as strict as I could have been between equestrian competitions, birthday parties and more. So yes, I am going back to using Numi to keep me focused.

I have heard great things about this program. Wishing you the best of luck.
The Numi app sounds like an awesome way to hold yourself accountable and keep track of your progress.
I’ve never been on a diet system, but I love the idea of being able to have an app to help track everything. Good luck!
I am loving the Numi app. It is so convenient. Plus thank you for that wonderful salad recipe I am so making that this week.
One more thing how did you do this week? any loss?
Just one pound this week. I got tempted a little too much….
I have not seen this app but I love something that allows me to do it on my phone and not have to access the info elsewhere. Looks like a good system!
That veggie salad looks so yummy!! My kids have that same panda snow hat too! Love it!
You had me at notepad. I can totally relate to spending way too much time on my phone that the last thing I want is to be one it to track what I eat and what I drink. But the app is kinda cool 😉 Good luck with your weight loss adventures!
It is difficult to keep track, so this sounds like just what you need to help you on your weight loss journey.
Nutrisystem food always had my mouth watering! The food looks amazing!! I love the apps that offer food tracking, makes things so much easier when it comes to losing weight!
I really like how the NuMi app allows you to easily track the food that you eat and the exercise that you do. The vegetable lasagna looks really delicious.
I like that this app allows you to log your water intake. I always struggled with that part of dieting.
Keeping track of what you eat, drink and your exercise is key to making the progress you want to make.
That app seems like a great way to help you on this journey. The veggie salad looks super yummy!
I have heard good things about Nutrisystem before. I’d love to try it here too.
LOVE that the Nann app helps keep your diet on track even when out and about. Scanning the food…brilliant!
This sounds like a great program. I haven’t really tried a regimented diet like this with the food products and all – my kids would eat it all lol – but it sounds like you are doing great! The app looks awesome.
