Hello Jenny Warriors
I just got back from my 14th weigh in and I have lost another 3.2 pounds this week which means I have lost a total of 47 pounds in 3 months and 2 weeks. OH MY GOD!!! I have almost lost 50 pounds in such a short amount of time! Words can not express the emotions I am feeling inside me. I am at a loss for words as I type this and tears roll down my face. WHY? Because I would have ended up obese and dead at a very young age but thank GOD for my boss who pulled me into his office and took notice of my depression and unhappiness and gave me the courage I needed to find myself again!!! Jenny Craig is the best thing I could have ever done for me..not my family not my friends BUT for ME!!!!! I look totally different than I did 3 months and 2 weeks ago. I had become so huge I was embarrassed to go out yet I couldn't STOP eating. That girl is gone!!! She will NEVER return. I am so close to my 1st goal which is 200 pounds.. I started at 277 pounds and this jenny warrior is at 230 baby!!!!!! There is no stopping me.. I am just getting started and it feels so good NOT to shop for a size 24 anymore.. I now fit into a 12... I no longer shop in big womens clothing stores and to tell you the truth I DON'T MISS THE BIG CLOTHES AT ALL! If I can do this, YOU can too.. Stand up and fight for you.. fix you ...love you... take care of you... If you don't NOONE else will.. God bless you

Bonnie I am so proud of you!!! You started the day before me, and I've always watched your progress because of this. I just started buying clothes out of the "plus" sizes so I know how good it feels to shop in a "regular" store now. You are such an inspiration. Best of luck on the rest of your journey!!!

Thanks BOnnie I am trying to recommit to plan and when I read your story you remind me of Amanda who is on the PEaches board (Come on over and join us sometime--it's a great group!)
You have gone from a 24 to a 12??? So quick! Wow!! I just think of where I could have been if I had better resolve--but I will take your advice and just love myself enough to do it !!

AWESOME !! You definitely give me hope -- if you can do it I can do it ! I have the same GW as you, so I'm going to follow your progress for inspiration.
I absolutely LOVE this program... it's sooo easy to follow. I live by myself to that makes it foolproof because if it ain't on the menu, I don't eat it. The only "problem" I have is sometimes life gets in the way and I don't get all the food in, but I'm working on that, along with fitting in more activity.
Good luck and keep up the good work!

thank you all for responding to me someone asked if I am exercising and my answer is NO not yet but I will soon but I do walk my doggie at least 6 times a day and I follow the diet to the tee. We will all reach our goal there is no room for failure always remember YOU are in charge of you..Treat your body and yourself the best you possibly can ...
