How did we chose which system to use?

I wish I could say we used an exhaustive analysis of the available weight loss programs and can to a logical decision after hours and hours of deliberation.

But I can't.

It came down to these points:

• It had to be a company we could trust - i.e. well known, high profile
• We didn't want to decide and debate what was for dinner - we could each chose something out of the closet
• Cut down on shopping
• The food looked as though we would eat it
  
• Cost was obviously an issue
• We thought it could work

The criteria were weighted differently in my mind versus my wife's - she was more worried that she wouldn't like the food, while I wanted convenience as an example.

We looked an the main one's and decided on Nutrisystem (we also looked at WeightWatchers, Jenny Craig and Diet2go).

Nutrisystem looked the simplest, they had an option where my wife could choose the food, and another where they would choose for me - we were both happy!

They had a promotion for where there was a week free and a discount for auto delivery. When my wife rang to order her food she discovered another promotion where if a same member of the household ordered at the same time there would get an extra week free and 10% off - which seemed like a good deal!
