So I joined Jenny Craig on Sat.and started the program on Monday. I have gone through many changes during the past few days. The food is not bad,but the portions are not what I'm used to. I decided to get on this plan due to my diabetes. I'm up to four injections a day and the weight loss would help. Im always at the gym, so it's not the lack of exercise that is hurting me. It's the way I eat and the amount I eat.
I have joined Weight Watchers a few times, but I had very little sucess. I know it works for some, but not for me
some people say 20 pounds to lose is too much for me, but I think the more, within healthy limits, is better. I hate injections!!!

Has anyone else been on this plan, and if so did it work for you?

No plan, no injections. I wish you all the best honey! My aunt never got her weight down, although she is 5 times bigger than you, and she's on dialysis and with a colostomy. still eating like she always has though....

Stay healthy!

Good luck to you! My friend lost 70 lbs on Jenny Craig and has maintained that weight loss for two years now. She looks great and, more importantly, her body is healthy. You can do it!

I lost 15 pounds on Jenny Craig, when I was 29, getting close to 30. I wanted to look good for my big 3-0 and I must say it worked. Something about the being weighed in, just that embarrassed the hell outta me. I felt like i was letting her down if I walked in and had not lost a pound! my counselor was so young and cute, petite even, I felt like a hog if I didn't lose something each week. The hard part is maintaining! But lucky for me, I LOVE salads, it's my lunch of choice. Good luck!!!

not too jazzed about the breakfast meals, the rest are okay

Diabetes is no joke. When I was younger (in my 20's) I really didnt pay any attention to my illness.
Now, Its hard not too, numbness, sweats, bad skin, and cuts/scrapes that take forever to go away.

Just thinking about the possiblity of losing a toe if I cut or hit it

the older you get the harder it is to lose weight...
thats the way I see it

You can do it love!!!!

Good luck, hun.

Good luck!

I joined Jenny Craig in June of 07 and I have lost 80 lbs. so far. I find it easy because it takes the thought out of what I have to eat. Try to fill up on vegetables. You can have lots of salad, and veggies. Eat your yogurt and fruit. Good luck. I think I have a link to my myspace on my profile. Check out my "Watch me shrink" album. I still have a way to go. I have hit a plateau, but it is because I need to exercise more and I do cheat here and there. You can do it. Org note me if you need support.

Thanks again everyone. Your help is a blessing

DAy 6..not too bad. My daughter's birthday is today. There was pizza, cake, sweets, all the goodies you can think of around me. I ate my jenny craig pizza while the girls had delicious regular pizza. Had my mom cut the cake.
Made it through another day

keep up the good work !!! I believe in you

As of this morning, I have lost 7 pounds and lots of inches!!
13 more to go

CarrieMpls said:

your awesome

As of 5-16-09 at 8:17am I'm down a total of 9 pounds....

Yeah!!!

Good luck to you! I think it's important to realize that it's not a crash diet, it's a change in your lifestyle. You can't do it until you lose the weight you want, then expect to go back to eating mammoth portions Some do this and they gain all the weight back. I have seen it so many times.



Smooches;)
