Hi Everyone,

I new just started this week my name is Jennifer my centre is in the St Catherines area just tring to get use to everything .

Just thought I'd say Hello .

Jen

Hi Jen
I go to the St. Catharines Centre and I really love my consultant Liisa. She and Heather are the best!! They recently changed management relatively smoothly. Not too many bumps in the road!
I have been on JC for 13 months and have lost 77.6 lbs as of today. They really keep me motivated!! I heard they have some new food coming soon so that is something to look forward to!! My experience with JC has really been a great one. Life changing....and still changing. I have a bit to go but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!!
If you have any questions don't hesitiate to ask!!

Be strong

Hi Veronica,

Great weight loss so far . hope I do as well , My JCC is Allison not sure I think she might be new

If you don't mind what did you spend in your first few weeks on the program ? Do you have a price list ?

thanks Jen

Hi Jen
Allison must be new 'cause I haven't heard of her. I have been getting weighed in on Sat (-79 lbs) so I just might not see her during the week. I hope she is as good as Liisa.
I don't have a price list but if you search the net or this chat forum you'll find one. I did. And I think when I first started I was spending just over $100 a wk maybe a little more. I still am eating all JC and receive 30% (reward prog) off my food ...its usually $90 ish. It sounds like a lot I know.. it is but so worth it. JC has changed my life and my jean size....lol I just bought a pair of size 14...been a long time since that has happened.....
Any other questions just ask..

Veronica

Hi Veronica,

I now have Sandra as my JCC they had to change the time and it didn't work with my time , But wow I haven't
spend less then 1 week was $160 and this week with no soup was $ 150 what is the rewards prog? I thought I would be spending $90 to $100 not $ 160 a week that is going to hard any tips ?

Jen

Hi Jen. I am spending that as well. I think it is the rewards progam. If you purchased a 20lbs for 20$ you pay a certain price for food. If you have the rewards program you get a discount on the food. If you are in the Jenny Direct like me you also have to pay a 50$ shipping charge.

Let me know if you find a price list.

Lynne

Hi Jen
I have a Rewards Program that at the beginning I got 10% off, then 20% and now 30%. It may be the old program I have because when my year was up Liisa was making sure that I renewed because she said if I didn't I would lose my 30% off. So it must be a different program they are running now....
I know the price is high but I hope that doesn't discourage you....its so worth it!!
I try and buy my own cereal and there are plenty of different bars to buy that aren't going to run you $15 a box!! I'm sure Sandra will give you a price list if you ask....
keep in touch....

Veronica

Hi Veronica,

It must be diffrent I have some program called premium Success program when you joined $60 off your food and then half another $60 off that weeks food but that's about it but no 30% off at a later date that I know of
I hope I will be able to keep going but just going in the third week and already at $828 not even with this weeks food yet .
Jen

I hope this helps. This is the Canadian price list. Pick carefully, and you can pay a whole lot less.

Hello MudMouse,

Thank you so much for sharing the Canadian price list with us. I do find it very expensive. It cost me $380 for two weeks only (with Jenny Direct), I now know why!

Thanks again, I really appreciate it. This will help me choose carefully for my next order.
Jenny

Hi
thanks for the Cdn price list....you don't really realize how much you are spending until you see the prices for each item. I will definitely be picking and choosing differently this week....
....and Jen I hope you can stay on the program 'cause it really does work!! I know its a lot of money but so worth it..
keep in touch

Veronica

Hi Veronica,

Thanks for the support I am going to keep trying and so glad someone posted the price list a big Thank-you.

Thanks I hope for a bigger loss this week

Jen

Hi Jen
How are you doing on the program. I belong to the St. Catharines Centre also. I have just started week 1 also...
You can get the price list from your counsellor if you like. Who is your counsellor. I like mine alot.
Let me know how you do. Maybe we can become buddies..
write soon...kathleen

Hi Kathleen,

I am getting the price list tomorrow but very nice to see it ahead of time so very glad that it was posted here.
I had Allison but now have Sandra who do you have third weigh in tomorrow what day of the week do you go.

Jen

Hi
I have Sandra for a consulant also. She is on vacation this week and next...I go in for 1:45 as I work in the morning...and it is the middle of the week...and is the best time for me...
Let me know how you do. I hope I lost something...This is the first time I didn't go on the scale to check my weight....it was really really hard not to. Let me know how you do Jen...
Have a great JC Day...
hugs kathleen

thanks for the price list...I think I will print it off for further reference...Kathleen

Hi Kathleen,

Yes Sandra was away I didn't know that but so far every week I have had a diffrent JCC , But today aleast I got my food down cheaper doing a personal menu now due to some ingredients that are in some of the foods that bother me . I was down but only 1.2 ponnds so I have only lost 7.2 pounds in 3 weeks.was hoping for more but it takes time to put it on longer to take off- and it was that time of the month so hopefully it will be better next week . let me know how you do I have 30 pounds to get to where I would like to be .

Hugs Jen

Hi Jen..
I went yesterday and had Margaret as a JCC. They told me that Sandra will be back this Wednesday coming. After my first week I lost 5lbs..yippeee.... I am planning on getting at least 40-50lbs off my body. My biggest problem is that I get hungry about 2 hrs after breakfast....so I take my bar with me in the car and a bottle of water.
You have lost 7.2lbs in 3 weeks that is great.
It is cheaper doing your own personal menu...just gotta be careful with the calories. You can do your menu online and print it off.
Have a great JC Day Hugs Kathleen

Hi Kathleen,

Good for you 5 pounds that is great What do you mean be careful with the calories I was told that it didn't really matter as they were all within the same calorie rate I did do a online one any tips ?I had hoped for a bigger loss.

Jen P.S I get hungry too after breakfast and take my bar with me to with water keep in touch.

Hi Jen...
Thanks...All the meals are different calories except the breakfast ones...lunch and supper can range from 200 300 so I think it is important to track your calories. You should have a list of the calories...I put in on the menu folder Sandra gave me or on the price list. Did you get a price list from the centre when you went in?
Have a great JC Day...Kathleen

Hi Kathleen,

I did get the price list do they have the calorie list also at the centre or can I find it on here ?
Have a good weekend keep in touch TTYS.

Hugs Jen

HI Jen,
I go to the St. Catharines centre too. 'I started 2 weeks ago. I asked for a price list and I got it. I pay around $150/week too. FYI those Canadian Bars are $15. Also some foods are more expensive than others, so if you do a little bit of budgeting you can bring the cost down by up to $20/week. Also, I got a coupon in my email for one day of food free.
Just take it one day and a time and you'll be fine. I find it a bit too pricey too, but I'm worth it!
Mariya

Hi Mariya,

I got a coupon too but they said I couldn't use it was for when your joining I was a little ticked , I am working with my menu and I keep telling myself I am worth it .

Jen

Hi Jen,
Odd that they didn't let you use the coupon .. btw..I switched to the Equate meal replacement bars from Walmart and I didn't buy they JC ones....

I am having a terrible week so far, I am eating everything on plan, but I don't think I have lost an ounce..hopefully things get better by Friday......

ps. Did you join on the 20/20 plan? I am debating what to do after it's done...$429 is soo much to come up with at once...

Hi Mariya ,

I felt like that the other week but so far since April 2nd , 2009 I have lost 11.8 pounds have about 25 to go I did the Premium success program and got $60 off of food the first week and then if I ever get half way I get another $60 off of food and then if I get to my goal weight and keep it off for a year you get 1/2 of the program money back so word to the wise pick a goal that you can mantain . I may switch bars soon to as for snacks I pick ones from the retired list that they still have a bit cheaper and I just get one cheese cake or cake once a week for a treat and eat it after weigh in night .

Jen TTYS

Hi Jen,
wohoo...I lost 1 lb I am very happy, this week actually ended a lot better than it started! My total is now 12lbs in just 3 weeks, I am pumped for next weigh in I am also going to buy the plan next week, it seems that this a program that works for me and I am worth it.

Hi Mariya,

Good for you and great weight loss in just 3 weeks - I am trying to stick to it and telling my self I am worth it too. have great week.

Jen

Hi Everyone
Looks like lots of weight loss...weigh to go!!! I have lost 10lbs and 7 inches in a total of 8 weeks...so I am happy...I seem to lose weight one week...and the next sorta stand still...not sure why....
I keep trying to get my water in.... I have a problem with diet coke...I think it makes me retain water...joys of being a women...
I am awaiting the strawberry shortcake. I have made a really neat desert from the chocolate cake..I put some of my strawberrries sliced in the bottom of the bowl...then the cake cut into squares...and then I put a 60 cal choc pudding on it..(they have them on sale at shoppers right now...4 for $5.00 thats 16 puddings..and then I put blueberries on top then if I feel so inclined I add some low cal dream whip...it is so yummy and completely legal...you could basicall use any dessert...choc walnut brownie...any of the choc bars cut up.
Let me know if you girls try it and let me know what you think
Have a great week...
Kathleen aka Sunnygal51

Hi Everyone,

I lost 1 lb today..yepppeee..
How are you doing Jenn?
write soon..
Kathleen

Hi Everyone,

I'm back at Jenny's after a 2 year hiatus, during which time I put back on all my weight. Sigh. I went this last Friday and saw Heather - one cool lady! So now I have 53 pounds to go to goal

I'm a student at Brock (chuckle, an "older" student) after having worked as an RN for 22 years. Feeling a bit creaky and blah, tired of being tired and all the usual complaints. I'm hoping that with the support of JC and now, the online group, I'll be able to take it off and keep it off. Really need to tailor the menu, because $150 a week in food just for me is way too steep (I'm not working - school is full time). I'm planning on doing my own breakfasts and hope that next Friday I'll be able to work that out with Heather.

It's nice to meet everyone and I hope we can all support each other in becoming healthier people. Maybe we'll run into each other at WI's![font="Comic Sans MS"][/font]

Sue[color="#0000FF"][/color]

Hi Sue
Welcome back to Jenny Craig.....I'm sure you and Heather will work out a menu that works for you...and you are right she is one cool lady!! She and my consultant Liisa have been real motivators to my 88 lb weight loss. (still have 12 lbs to go to my goal) I have been a member for 15 months and I love Jenny...it really has changed my life!!! I remember my first consult with Heather and telling her I thought I needed to lose 100 lbs and she said that is doable a matter of factly. I thought she was crazy! But here I am with only 12 lbs to go!! When I left the centre today I started to cry 'cause I just can't believe I did this!!! So....good luck Sue and be strong. This is doable!!!!!

Veronica

Hi Veronica,

And thanks for the support. Congrats on the weight loss! You are my hero!
My first day back has been alright; actually, I have to remind myself to eat! I'll be back here often, I hope. Keep up the good work!

Sue

Hi! I just joined last week. I'm in downtown Hamilton - not tooooooo far from St. Catharines

Hi kathleen,

I was very shocked too that Sandra quit but noone told me I finially asked I too have lynne I think anyways

I have now losed 22 pounds having a hard last few weeks not really losing it goes up and then down but I am hanging in there how about you ?[color="#0000FF"][/color]

I've been having a couple of slow weeks too. I think that I might actually be up this week. I keep doing the same things, so I don't know why I've stopped losing..it's getting frustrating though...But i've lost 26lbs on the bright side

Hi everyone,

My first WI was this afternoon and I was down 3.7 pounds. YAY! I certainly feel different than what I did a week ago. It seems like baby steps; a bit more energy one day, dancing in the kitchen the next, but these little breakthroughs are things that I haven't felt like doing in a looooooong time! I think if we can remind ourselves to see even the little things as positive changes, we'll have the gusto to go until we succeed. For me, I know I can't allow myself to go crazy with carbs and sweets, because, like an addict, I can't have just one because one leads to 20 and before I know it I've eaten all the cinnamon buns! I guess we all know our strengths and weaknesses and have to deal with them.

Hope everyone's having a great weekend
Sue
