I lost almost 40 pounds on it last year and want to get back on it (I gained 20 back). I was extremely strict on myself - no alcohol and working out a few times a week. I didn't cheat once. It teaches you to eat in moderation and what real portion sizes are. Some of the foods taste bland, so I added Frank's red hot sauce in almost everything. If you have any questions about it, let me know!

You are better off learning to cook a little and preparing your own food most of the time instead of getting pre-made meals from any weight loss program. If you learn a bit about counting calories and about protein, carb and fat ratios, and eat a sensible diet- including better choices not just smaller portion sizes- AND if you exercise regularly and learn to enjoy it, one can lose weight and keep it off instead of bouncing back up like most people do. Just going on a pre-made diet like this for x number of months will teach you very little.
I found the key to lose weight and more importantly fat loss, was all this below combined. That's the shortcut for anyone that wants it.
1- Count calories, figure your daily maintenance and eat just below maintenance
2- Weightlifting 3-4 times per week
3- A very- or at least fairly- clean diet, 5-6 smallish meals per day, no drinks with calories period, and forget diet soda too on principal.
4- 2-3 sessions of 30 mins of cardio per week until you sweat very good.
Years ago (around 1986-1987) i lost a good 70+ pounds with Nutri-System. I played a lot of tennis at the time and was pretty active and I think they had me capped at 1200 calories a day. Wasn't too hard to keep on the diet and when I went off it it was easy to maintain my weight. In fact, I went from 296# all the way down to 180#. I was motivated back then even when I came off their plan losing another 46#.

I lost weight fast at 1500 calorie limit and walking 40 minutes a day
My problem is I HATE to cook. When I do eat at home it's always microwavable foods. Then after that is portion size. I'm a pig. lol
I actually like cooking, but most of the time - it's just me and I don't want to cook just for myself, so these meals are perfect. You do have to buy some extra items like lettuce, cheese, etc. If you want a $30 off coupon, let me know.
I did nutri system 7 years ago. The food was AWFUL. Of course, I am used to eating gourmet style meals, organic meats, veggies etc, I guess for the McDonalds crew nutri system would be a step up and a great way to lose weight but for me it just sucked and I ended up giving all the food away to other people.
just cut down, try eating wholewheat pasta for your evening meal, you dont need a lot cuz pasta fills you up, its really cheap and it will defo help you lose the weight (providing you dont cover it in a million rich sauces snd cheese topped of with bread lol)

Obviously you can't compare it to gourmet meals - but that's how you got where you are at weight wise.
The food can be bland - but it works. They are always updating their recipes and some of it is actually decent.
