Hey everyone. I thought I would start a new topic for brand new May members. I joined May 7th and so far I am finding the plan not so bad... even though its only been 2 days! Anyways if there are any other Canadians that have just recently joined definitely reply. Also if anyone if looking for a weight loss buddy let me know I have about 100lbs to lose... so here it goes!

I joined on May 7 and have 110lbs to lose. I live in Northern Alberta but will be moving to Southern Alberta as soon as my house sells! Would love to have a few buddies !

Hi Guys:

I just joined May 5th too and am in southern Alberta.
I have about 30 lbs to lose, but would still love to chat and support, etc.

Banksiana ~ Where in southern Alberta are you? We are going to be moving to Stettler, once our house here in McMurray sells. Which fingers crossed will be soon.

Who's doing JC Direct? I ordered my food a week ago and it's still not here.

I am a May newbie as well. I live just outside Edmonton. I started on May 1 and so far am quite happy on how things are going. Having a buddy would be awesome too!

Mattntonysmom ~ Welcome!

Hi there:

I am in Calgary and going to a centre.
One of the things I am most looking forward to is the one on one relationship with the counsellor.
So far she seems great, but I've only had once consultation.

Is there somewhere close to Stettler that you could go to a centre?

There are 2 in Red Deer which is about 30 to 45 mins away. There is not one here in McMurray so for now I'm doing Jenny Direct. The down side is that it takes longer for food to get to me and I have a very very limited menu to choose from. My first phone consultation is next tuesday and fingers crossed that my food get's here before then.

Hey everyone! Its nice to have some buddies in Alberta who are just starting the whole jenny craig thing. I just had my first weigh in yesterday and I dropped 6.4lbs! very exciting Hope everything is going great for all of you too. I agree with you Banksiana the one on one counseling is what I think I love the most about the program too. Well have a good weekend everyone

Congrats!!!! 6.4lbs that is amazing!!!

My food arrived this morning so tomorrow morning is the start of a new life! I'm so excited!

Yay I am so excited for you! Enjoy the food its so yummy and let me know how your week goes!

Hey has anyone ever recieved something not on their menu? or somthing on the menu but did not recieve it? I recieved a bag of microwave popcorn but it's not on my menu, but mustard pretzel's are on the menu but did not receieve them. I'm going to use the popcorn in place of the pretzel's but was just wondering if happened to anyone else.

It never really happens at the center because they make you read through and make sure they have everything you paid for. I would assume you are probably okay to switch them out though. I didn't even know jenny had microwave popcorn. Yum

How is everyone doing so far?

So far I have had to have an OMO snack everynight. I can't finish what I'm supposed to have for breakfast and by the time It's dinner time I'm starving and after dinner I'm still hungery. My first phone consulation is today so I'm hope she can help me.

I fell like I failed alredy by not sticking to the program and having to 'cheat' to feel full.

So far for me things are going great - I'm so happy with the food and results I'm seeing - around 7 lb. in less than two weeks. It is such a treat to go home and have something yummy to eat for dinner that you don't have to think about and put much effort into making - for me that works GREAT! And I have so much energy that I'm back at the gym and working out like a mad woman!

I hope everyone else is doing well!!

Things are going great for me so far - at my last WI I was down 5.6 lbs in 1.5 weeks. I am enjoying the food so far - portion control was one of my big issues. Camping on the long weekend was a challenge but my consultant helped me revamp the menu using just pantry items. My biggest challenge was sitting around the campfire (when it wasn't snowing :>) - that's the time that the snacks and booze usually comes out. I am not too worried about my pending WI since I think I did OK.

I had the late day hunger when I first started so I moved the Canadian bar to the afternoon snack and have a soupitizer while I make dinner. I also moved my late snack to later (9ish) in the evening when hubby and kids pull out the ice cream, etc. That has helped me.

Its great to hear everyone is doing well. So far I am about 9.4lbs after 2 weeks.. so heres hoping my third week goes just as well. Keep in touch ladies.

Today has been day one and I made it but have to go to bed to stop thinking about food.

9.5 pounds in two weeks....WOW!! That must not be average???

Sugar Free Jello has been my savior when all I can think about is food. Luckily I love Jello so it really helps.

I'm not sure what the average weight loss is. I know they say expect 4-7lbs or something like that your first week because of all the water loss due to the low sodium diet. I lost 6.4 my first week and now 3 my second. I'm really hoping another 3 come off next week even though JC says they prefer only a weight loss of 2lbs max a week. Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Take care

Hi ladies!

I went camping for the weekend and just got back. So I lugged the scale with me camping so that I could WI and.... I lost 5.5lbs!!! I was so shocked! I did not expect that at all! I was hoping for 2lbs.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

COngrats on the 5.5lb! was this your first or second week? Way to go girl keep it up!

It was my first week. I had my second phone call today and it was a different consultant. This one I liked she was happy and cheerful and had lots of ideas to help me get over my night time craving's for anything. The first one who called is supposed to be my normal consultant but I did not like her. Can I ask to switch?

Yeah for sure you can switch. I read it in the tips for success book they give you. All it said was call the center and they would switch you to a different consultant if you didnt want the one you were with. For sure go with someone who you really enjoy because what I hear from others is that your consultant becomes like a best friend after awhile. Hopefully the second week goes just as well!

Also just a quick update lost 5.1 lbs at my weigh in today so a grand total of 14lbs gone in only 3 weeks! Hopefully everyone is doing just as well!

YEAH!!!!! Congrats MisGriz!!!

I just weighted in for me second week and down anothe 4 lbs! So 9.5 total!

As far as the consultant thing goes I'm going to give her one more try, maybe she was having an off day.

Yay congrats on the 9.5 lbs so far! Keep it up! Let me know how things go with your consultant.. I agree it could have just been an off day

Just posting to see how everyone is doing

Good morning everyone. Hope you don't mind me joining in a little late. I too started in May. I joined on May 6th, but didn't actually start the food until May 11th. I knew started on Mother's Day wouldn't be a great idea, especially with my daughters wanting to make be breakfast and giving me chocolate roses.

I am 44 years old, and need to loose a total of 50 lbs. I am now into week 7 and my progress has been amazing, I have now lost 15 lbs (8 1/2 inches at 10lb lost).

I will be reading your old posts so I can catch up on what is going on. Looking forward to hearing how everyone is doing and getting to know all of you.

From a beautiful sunny day in Toronto Canada
