"Finally, I'm in a size 2!"

[Left Is Write]

Is anyone else here familiar with that particular NutriSystem commercial? Is it just me, or is that woman the most annoying person ever to do an ad for a "weight loss system"?

"It works! This is a 2!" Giggle, giggle, twirl, giggle.

"I feel so sexy!" Giggle, giggle.


Edited: Her size is not the source of my irritation. It's her mannerisms and her giggles.

[miss_american_pie]

1. No

But I don't think I'd care much for it. :hi:

[Rambis]

12. It is her mouth

and teeth that add to the annoyance factor ten fold. Don't ask me why but it does!

[billyskank]

2. A twiglet is not sexy

[Left Is Write]

5. She's not a twiglet; she's actually pretty shapely.

The point isn't her size but her annoying nature. Be thankful you don't see the commercial! You'd be annoyed by her too. :)

[Skittles]

39. that woman ain't no size 2

no way

[BarenakedLady]

11. :-(

[billyskank]

15. ...

:hug:

[billyskank]

16. ...

I don't know what I'm saying, I haven't seen the person they're referring to. :hug:

[SPKrazy]

3. Not Seen It

but it sounds annoying to me

the only person that really likes commercials that I know of is my 6 year old son.

:rofl: :rofl:

[NewWaveChick1981]

4. Oh, maybe I'll be a size 2 if I use their product!

:rofl: NOT!!!!! :eyes: That commercial is extremely annoying. I'm happy to be a size 8, thank you very much.

Perky, giggly airheads on commercials will NOT make me buy anything, ESPECIALLY if they show off being a ridiculously low size. :P

[Left Is Write]

6. Hey!

I'm a "ridiculously low size" too, but I don't go around being perky and giggly about it like she does. I just cannot stand that woman. There's another NutriSystem woman who bugs me too ("People have told me I'm hot, yes!" Laugh, laugh, laugh), but this one is just grating.

Her tee-hee like giggles just get to me.

Maybe it's the squeaky way she says "2!"

She could say, "It works! This is an 8!" in the same squeaky, giggly tone and I'd still want to slap her.

[NewWaveChick1981]

8. Sorry---you're right. It's a low size for ME, but not for others.

:) :hi: And she would definitely be annoying at any size. :P

[LeftyMom]

7. Who would brag about that?

I last wore a two sometime around the seventh grade, and I'm fucking tiny.

[Left Is Write]

10. It's not her size. It's her tone, her delivery, her irritatingness.

I'm her size or smaller, so that's not the point.

I can't stand her squeaks and giggles.

[kmla]

13. "I'm a size 't-uhhhhh'!"

Yes, she drives me nuts as well. Makes me want to grab her cheeks, and squeeze them togetherin a fish-face way, while saying sternly, "Repeat after me. It's pronounced 'toooooooooo', not 't-uhhhhhh', ya twit."

Can't stand the commercial.

[buddhamama]

17. errr...

i am a size two. i am petite. i am not bragging but i am not willing to accept that i resemble a seventh grader either.

[Karenca]

25. Same with me

Size 2 (and very curvy).

I'm 5'1 ...maybe that's why.

[ironflange]

33. um. . .

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

48. Same here.

Size 2 and 5'1"

[Karenca]

49. Hi :))

teeny Haruka!

And I saw your pics,
and I think you look
ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!

[reyd reid reed]

9. Poor thing...

someone get that girl a sammich...and a pound of fudge. And then a 2x4 upside the head to shut her up.

There. That oughta do it.

I feel better now.

:hi:

[LaraMN]

14. Yes, and it IS SO obnoxious!

That is in my current top-three most HATED commercials. She has the most ditzy, annoying voice. I feel your pain, LIW!

[NMDemDist2]

18. I was a size 2 when I was 10 years old

then I turned into a woman

size 2 indeed

:puke:

[Left Is Write]

19. It's not the size.

I am a woman and I am a 0-2.

I did not post this to invite disparaging comments about small sizes. I posted this to invite disparaging comments about squeaking and giggling her way through the commercial. :D

[NMDemDist2]

21. she is VERY squeaky indeed

and makes me feel very bad that I am a size 6 (or was most of my life)

[Vektor]

36. Thanks, LIW.

I was afraid to pop in here. I'm a size 0 too, and I have never had any complaints about my shape, nor am I "unwomanly."

We're just "streamlined" and "compact."

;-)

I'm only 5'2", so according to my doctor, and recommended guidelines, I'm a perfectly healthy size/weight range for my height.

Thanks for sticking up for the wee lasses.

But yeah, I've seen that commercial, and that lady sounds like she's on PCP.

[Karenca]

47. ......

SAME HERE....

iF YOU'RE 5'1 OR LESS,

A size 0-2 makes perfect sense.
I'm 5'1 1/2", (small-medium-boned) 114 lbs, and my size ranges between 0-2. I'm not skinny at all.
If I were to gain 8 - 10 lbs, I would probably wear a size 6, and for my frame, I'de look chunky. I know because when I was pregnant
I zoomed to 154 lbs, so I'm aware of what I look like at every weight in between.
I'm also at the healthy size/weight for my height and frame.

Yes, she's obnoxious, but I think because she makes so many people take
notice of her, her career might fly.

Kind of like a Gilbert Gottfried----can't stand to listen to him,
but .....

[Left Is Write]

51. I am 5'4"

115 lb, size 0-2 and I am not too thin either.

(I've gone previously about how silly the sizing system is, but that'a another rant for another day.)

[Karenca]

52. It all depends on your bone structure.

height, age, and muscle mass.

I have a friend who is 5'6, 119 lbs.
She has the most gorgeous figure. (Swimsuit model and a Size 2!)

My perfect weight is btwn. 114-116.
When I go below 110 lbs., I start looking too thin.

Also, alot depends on how much muscle you have. The women
on the commercial is NOT too thin.

People shouldn't take for granted that a Size 2
is emaciated.

[spooky3]

54. I must have bought cheap clothes

I am 5'6" and when I weighed 112-115 lbs about 10 years ago (actually got as low as 109 at one point), the smallest size I wore was a 4 and I usually wore a 6.

[Left Is Write]

56. Sizes have changed since then.

I have a pair of size 4 shorts from 1994 that are as small as a 0 today.

[blondeatlast]

20. Hell yes. If ultra-perky giggliness is a side effect, count me out.

And I AM a size 2 most of the time so it isn't that for me.

That commercial makes me want to force feed that ultra-perky giggler a case of Mallomars.

Anyone else in?

[femmocrat]

22. Yes! I despise that commercial! I can't turn it off fast enough!

[Rosemary2205]

23. I have a dumb question

if that woman stays on nutrisystem long enough and gets to a size Zero will she disappear?

[smirkymonkey]

27. We can only hope....

but in the meantime, I'd like to snap her chirpy little head off.

[blondeatlast]

38. Considering size inflation is so rampant these days, I'[m wondering.

I'm a size 2 now, but I resemble what used to be a healthy size 6 and I haven't lost weight.

I see they have DOUBLE ZERO sizes ow--what next? It's frightening--seriously.

[spooky3]

55. see my post above--the heights/sizes didn't match

my experience from 10 years ago (I'm a little heavier now). So maybe the small sizes have changed. I know also designer clothes run larger and I can't afford those.

[EnviroBat]

24. Yes that commercial, like most is annoying...

but I'd sooo spank that!

[zanne]

26. Walking on the beach with her boyfriend, she's in a bikini

He's fully clothed. What's up with that?

[spooky3]

29. something else doesn't make sense

She said she hasn't been this size since junior high. But she says he says "now I've got my wife back." Did they marry when she was 12? And she lost 35 lbs. Even though she's obviously very short, 35 lbs. doesn't make someone a completely different person. Must be a really deep relationship.

This is one of the most annoying ads on TV. Since most people gain the weight back within a year, I imagine Ms. Perky will probably stop giggling soon.

[eleny]

28. Thank You!!!

I was thinking of posting about that ad today. And it's some bullshit, too. She gets back to her size from junior high - but her husband has his wife back. Hmmm... that doesn't add up. If she hasn't been that size since jr hi, is that when she got married?

The ad comes on and the sound goes off. She's too f'ing perky.

[spooky3]

31. I said the same thing--sorry I didn't see your message sooner!

[spooky3]

30. YES, I hit the remote the instant I see it!

I don't mind Zora's ad nearly as much.

[Left Is Write]

43. Zora's ads bugged me for one reason only:

"It seems like magic because it works that good."

My rant on the elimination of adverbs was in another thread. :D

[spooky3]

53. I know--an unnecessary irritant.

Other than that, it is a well ad. hehehe

[mduffy31]

32. That plays a lot at night and there are about 5 nurses I work with

that are really close to causing harm to that woman.

[ironflange]

34. I'd like to put the remote thru the screen. . .

when I see that spot. The annoying voice is bad enough, but I really hate the insinuation that a size 10 woman is some sort of disgusting freak.

An odd thing: she says she hasn't been a 2 since seventh grade, but later says that Hubby "got his wife back." -- What's that, Cletus?

Tham folks used ta live down the way from me in the Ozarks! I remambar that squeeky voice!
\

[bridgit]

35. show off...

:rofl:

[Blue_In_AK]

37. I HATE HATE HATE that commercial...

I think it's the giggle, and the fact that her husband would say something so stupid as "I've finally got my wife back." Give me a break...

[Skittles]

40. what bugs me more

is that some people have to literally be sent food so they know what to eat and how much - that is damn sad - people, just log onto a food diary - no, I am not dissing people with weight problems, I just don't like the idea they are getting ripped off when they could do the same thing by buying low fat frozen dinners at the store

[RebelOne]

41. I hate that commercial. How many average women wear a size 2?

[carly denise pt deux]

42. Ms. size 2 was never fat to begin with!

I saw that commercial just last night. She would be flabby in her teeny bikini romping around if she had been fat to begin with. I watched it and turned to my kids and said "well now, her dress size now fits her I.Q." Yes, it was mean.

Wanna impress me, put some chick on that was Carnie Wilson pre-gastric bypass, now a normal sized 8.

Carly

[itsmesgd]

44. No Fair...the sizing system is geared towards women

I have lost 60 pounds over the past year and my pant size went from 40 to 34. When women lose weight they get to drop down to sizes like 1, 2, or 0.

[Left Is Write]

45. Yes, but at least your sizing system means something.

And they do, really they do, have NutriSystem ads for men. They are very manly ads! :P

[trof]

46. I think that's 'TEW!'. If Barbie could talk, that's what she'd sound like.

Drives me up the wall.
Just TOO precious.

[Left Is Write]

50. Yes! That's exactly how she pronounces it.

[S n o w b a l l]

57. So funny you mentioned this...

I sent an email to Nutri-Systems a couple weeks ago about this commercial. It's not only irritating but it's stupid marketing. Their target audience is not someone who's a size 8 looking to get to a 2! More like a 16 or over looking to get to an 8. Dumb dumb dumb.

I once sent a similar letter to Slim Fast about a mother and daughter that was very degrading. I guess enough people wrote cause they changed the commercial and sent an email stating they were doing so.

[GRLMGC]

58. All those commercials are annoying

They have a certain crappy charm to them due to their low-budgets. Maybe I'm just easily amused.
