Hi,

I am in Woodstock, Ga....

I'm from Hinesville, Georgia

Hi - I am from Fayetteville, GA. This is just my 2nd day on JC and so far I'm lovin' it! Can't believe the food is so good ... I was expecting it to be "just okay" but so far, so good! Any tips you have to make this journey more enjoyable and fun I'd love to hear them and will share as well.

Hello. I'm in the Lovejoy/Hampton area.

Hi. I'm from Jasper, Ga

Hey,

I've just signed up and I live in Marietta. How about you?

Looks like you have lots of company!

I'm from Woodstock also!
I just started the program this week. Hoping to lose weight for a bunch of events this summer...vacation to Hawaii, My 25th class reunion and a wedding.

I am and this is all so new to me but I am already loving it. I am in the Atl area

I am also from Woodstock and just new to JC. Best thing I ever did was sign up

I'm from Marietta. I joined 5 wks. ago. Iam having success inspite of going on a cruise and a quick trip to Orlando. I've got along way to go. I'm bad to bend rules and my husband tries to derail me sometimes.

From Newnan and looking for a buddy to champion with, to assist with goal setting and accountability, I am serious and motivated and looking for the same, I want my life back and i am going to lose the weight and get my energy, my body, my enthusiasm for life. anyone interested in messaging for support feel free to message me, i am 45, single , no kids, workaholic, with lots of enthusiasm for life.

From GA as well. Anyone want to buddy up?

Hows it going aebarbrown? Hope you are doing well on the program! GOOD LUCK!

I live in Auburn, GA. I've been on the program for 7 weeks and have lost 13 pounds so far!!

Hi, I live in GA! We just moved to ATL about 8 months ago. Apparently I tried way too many of the yummy restaurants here, because I just signed up for JC yesterday

[font="Arial Black"][/font][size="2"][/size]

Yes, I am.

How are you doing on the program so far? How has your exercise been. I am sore from working out. I think I need to switch up what I am doing and not just do the same thing every day.

Would love to find someone in the area that wants to join Jazzercise or go walking together.

I am from Austell Georgia. I weigh 240 pounds and am thinking about joining. I have an appointment tomorrow - and depending on the cost of food - I would really like to join. I have read quite a bit of stories off the forums - which has helped me tremendously. I would like to get down to about 165-170. Good luck to me and everyone else. Special TJ

Im also looking for a buddy. Someone no nonsense who knows that the prize at the end of the journey is worth the sacrifice.

Cricket12 from Noonan. Cutie Patutie here in Decatur/Snellville - we chatted last night. You seemed very together and it's always nice to have a buddy. I am same - but no longer a workaholic (gave it up at 40 - and thank goodness) - I am 45, single (divored at 40), no kids, positive attitute and love to have fun (pretty much a go go girl). Been down this weight loss path - struggled for years and finally got a grip on it and struggle no more. Lost 40 and put 15 back on so here at Jenny again. If I see you on chat - we'll swap email addresses! Best of luck girl - this is a GREAT program. But I do think the heart of it all is digging deeper too - weight is just a symptom. Hope to see you in chat soon - I'm on a good bit.

Hi all JC members,

I am in Augusta, GA.

Hi,
I'm in Douglasvile, GA. Just joined, should receive my food on Thursday. I am very excited.

Hi! I am an Atlantan native and have been on Jenny for 8 months. I have have really been struggling since the 1st of January. I hit my 1/2 the week after Christmas (yes I lost over the holidays!), but now I have gained 3 lbs and the scale has not moved. I have had a crazy life since the new year. But, I am really getting depressed and mad at myself. I work out 3-4 days a week but find it hard to eat all the food. (Again, my crazy scedule). My consultant is great and tells me each week that it is okay and to stay focus.

HELP! HAs anyone else felt this way? Or had this experience?

Hi! I am an Atlanta native. I have been on Jenny for 8 months. I hit my 1/2 way on 12/30/07. Since then I have been struggling to lose any. I work out 3-4 days a week. The big problem I have is to eat the food. I have a very crazy scedule and tend to skip meals. I am getting so frustrated that I even say to myself well I missed it this week so I will sit this exercise out. I know this sounds bad, but my motivation is slipping!

Help! Any advise......

[quote name='diana20' date='Feb 21 2008, 05:49 AM' post='383622'] Hi this is the first time doing this, but i have been on jenny craig for about a year and a half. I can't seem to lose the last 10 pounds, but nonetheless, i still love the structure of the program and the accountablility. I am finally learning how to order when i go out to eat, it seems that when i go out it is a free for all and want to eat fried this and that plus dessert...My parents gave us their treadmill and have been enjoying that and 10 minute solution videos are the best. I also like to go to Roswell park and run/walk the trail I live in Woodstock Georgia

Hello Georgians, are you still there? I'm struggling with my diet and would love to have folks to "vent" with.

Hi, I am in Smyrna. I just joined the site today and will be visitng the center this week. My schedule is insane, I don't eat or sleep right, and am just exhausted all the time. I can't change my schedule for financial reasons, so I am hoping I can get some help with my diet that will allow me to wind down and sleep at night, as well as have energy to get through my day. Where i work, we don't get breaks..we have to eat on the run in our car when we are busy. This adds up to waiting till I'm starving to eat, and/or eating the wrong things. I'm hoping that they have foods or solutions that I can eat in my car!

I live in Middle Georgia. I moved down from Kennesaw about three years ago. From what I understand, the closest center is in Marietta. I'll be starting JC soon. I was wondering if there is anyone out there anywhere near Middle Georgia.

Hey, I am from Fayetteville, GA too! Are you going to the center in Morrow??

Hi CP -

Just checking to see if you still visit this blog. I, too, could always use an accountability partner. I'm in the ATL area as well. Email, phone or here would work for communication.

Thanks

Hey! I'm from Atlanta . . . just re-joined after many years.

HI - what part of ATL?

I just joined the Jenny Direct program since my schedule/hours have changed. I've been going to the morrow center on and off for years.
Anybody else on the Jenny Direct? Do you like it better than attending the center?

Hello all you Georgia Peaches! I'm in the Lake Oconee area. Age 54, 4 grown children (almost!), married, not working outside the home currently. Would love an email partner.

Considering joining but still wary of cost, travel time to a center (68 miles away) and efficiency of program.

Does anyone know if you can pick up several weeks worth of food at a center and then have phone conversations with a consultant instead of going in every week?

How has it been working with your consultants? Are they as motivating as the ads say they are?

From Another Leahy!! Are we related??!!

Greetings everyone! I'm in Lawrenceville, GA.

I just re-joined Jenny Craig last week. I got very sick and the meds I was taking put a lot of weight on me. Last week I decided to do something about it and go back on Jenny Craig's program. This is a good topic, but I see a lot of people are asking questions, but no one's answering them. The questions aren't even getting acknowleged.

bwl8585 --- I'm guessing this might depend on your counselor or the Centre you're using, but I believe you should be able to purchase several weeks worth of food -- especially considering your circumstances. With the price of gas these days, your counselor should understand. Or, you can sign up for the Jenny Direct program and have your food mailed to you. This is only my 2nd week with my counselor, but she's very motivating and seems to be very concerned about my health.

HMB --- Not sure if you're still visiting this topic and whether you're still having problems losing more weight. I read you've been exercising. If you've been doing the same exercises for a while, you might have to change up in order to start seeing results again. I pray you have started losing again, that your schedule has eased up some and that all is well.

Let's continue to support each other and keep this topic alive!!!

Peace,
- CJ

Hi all. I live in Alpharetta and just joined this past Sunday. CJenkins - I know how you feel. I have been on alot of meds but I also deal with chronic pain that has really made is difficult with my weight. I have always struggled with weight but felt comfortable. But recently, I have ballooned so fast that it is disappointing. So I am determined to make this work because I can't take it anymore. I still take many meds so we will see how that plays a part in all of this??

Good luck to you and everyone else as well.

Hello bwl8585.....I hear Lake Oconee is beautiful!! Well, I hardly doubt we are related....Leah my first name...Y 1st initial of last name.....your last name Leahy??.. I joined the Jenny Direct program and I like it alot more than going to the center. Don't have to drive out of my way to go to the center, not spending more $$ on gas, and can do everything in the privacy of my own home..ie....weighing in nude, if i feel like it ;-)...other than that it just seems like a continuous flow of staying focused....dont have to worry about driving somewhere and waiting to have the consultation, and sometimes the center runs out of what you want or need, and then fight the traffic back home! With JD you can keep that momentum going! So if you feel like you don't want to drive 68 miles every week!!!(which I wouldn't) give them a call and get set up on JD !! It's alot more convenient!
Hope this helps.....

Hi everyone, I am from GA. Live east of ATL. I just restarted JC this week. I am trying JCD but am nervous becuse of all the negative posts. Please tell there is someone out there that is having a positive experience with JCD.

kathleen -- gurrrrl, hang in there --- stay encouraged. If your meds put weight on you, check with your doctor to see if there's anything you can do to keep that from happening (if you haven't already). A change in your diet might just do the trick. I pray it does.

GA Teach -- I saw you in the Chat Room last night. I was going to chat with you, but it looked like a few members had a really good chat goin' on and I didn't want to break into it ... smile! Read Leahy's response above about her experience with Jenny Craig Direct. It sounds like it's working VERY well for her. Funny, when I weigh myself in the morning - naked ... smile - I'm one thing. By the time I get to JC for my weigh in, I've gained 3 lbs. I would love to be able to record my home weight instead of JC's ... smile. Well, I guess I do, that's the weight I use in my eTools profile.

Well, time for my Mesquite Chicken and Broccoli. Stay encouraged everyone -- stay encouraged!!!

just outside Savannah!

I grew up in Forsyth County GA, but live in VA now....I sure miss it.

newbie here from savannah...............

Hi Muddlepop - I'm outside Savannah

Wow! I live in Columbus, GA and am thinking of joining. I only need to lose 25 pounds but have tried everything and nothing works. Of course, I don't exercise! It is obviously working for you. Is it hard to stick to it?
