I just started yesterday. I need to lose 65 pounds. I think it's probably easier to have somebody to talk things through with - anything that is going on that makes people want to eat.

Hey! I'm from PA...but I definitely know how you feel. I'm in week 3 and sometimes reading all the success stories can make you discouraged! I'm going for 50 pounds, but doing it by small goals, 10 pounds at a time. Try that first! I'm sure you'll be successful!!!

Thanks. That's not a bad way to think about it. It's a little overwhelming if I look at the whole number at one time! At least it's been easy to follow this week, and it's one less thing I have to think about during the day. I know exactly what food is for the whole day, and I really like that right now.

Jewel welcome - I have been on Jenny since May 07 and I love it, I also live in CT and have alot of weight to lose, so welcome aboard. I usually post under Val's Pals and we have a great support group going there so stop over.

Hi,

I joined Jenny Craig in January, 2001 after having yo-yo dieted my whole life. I tried EVERYTHING! I lost 67 pounds and kept the majority off for 7 years. I went from a size 16 to size 6. This program changed my life, ever before it became "in vogue" with celebrity endorsements. I've recently gained 17 lbs. in the last year due to surgery and depression. But, I returned today! I'll be your buddy. I need "starter" support, too. Thanks!

I will check out Val's Pals!

Chris - You can do it. I'm amazed that you kept it off for 7 years! But that's why I wanted to try JC, because I hear from more people that they've kept it off after losing on this plan.

Welcome Jewel817:
I'm from south central CT, and have been on the program for 3 weeks, so far I have lost just
short of 10 lbs. I would have lost more except for 2 prior commitments this past week. one,
a Chritmas present, was a "Festival Feast" dinner with the family at the Salem Cross Inn in Mass.,
the other was a retirement party at the Colonial Thymes restaurant in Hamden, CT. Neither of
which I could not attend. I tried to not over-indulge, but the temptation was tugging away at me,
so I only lost 2/10th of a lb this week. We all have weeks like this, so I just jumped back into
the program after my Friday weigh-in and am going to have a great week.
If we all stick together and help each other through these challenges, we will all do great.

I'm from CT too. I've been on JC for over a year now. I've gained back a few pounds after maintaining for 6 months. I'll be happy to offer support if you want.

Good luck

I just saw this posting and I also live in CT. I live in New Fairfield. I am Jenny Direct so I don't go to the Danbury Centre, however, I did purchase something last week at the centre that was missing from my order.

Since you started a while ago, I hope you are doing okay. I really like the program and I'm down 12 lbs. as of today. Started April 9, 2008 and I seem to lose about 2 pounds a week, which is fine with me. Starting to feel really good now and the loss is just starting to be noticable to some people. I think when I lose 20 pounds that's when it will really show.

Do you exercise? I go the Rec. Center in Rigefield because that's where I work.

Would like to know how you are doing. Let me know.
