Hi Everyone
Ihave been reading some of the forums and have an appt today to join JC. I have never done this program before but I have been told the food is good. I have a hard time accepting that I have to have someone make my food.
I am 65, still working probably for another year, I live alone so this should not be a problem. My main food problem is portion control and overeating in the evening. I do eat a lot of salad and fruit and like veggies but as soon as I get home I pour a glass of wine get some crackers and then on to dinner and sometimes desert.
So I am hoping that the portions will do the trick and of course no more glass or two of wine every night.
hope i do as well as you guys seem to be doing.

i did join on friday and start the food tomorrow. i was away for the weekend so i thought it was better to wait till monday
i am a little nervous, the portions that i can see (the cheescake and brownie and the cereal) look so SMALL.
i am sure i will be able to eat them in one bite. but i am ready. went and got some veggies and fruit today and milk. i did join for the year and got the family and friends rate.
here i go...

Hi Ladies,

I am 62 and want to lose 20 lbs. I am so thankful to find real people my age who I can relate to. I also like a glass or two of wine in the evening. I have two jobs and deal with arthritis in the back. So it is a real struggle to stay energetic enough to exercise. I try to focus on the bigger picture and know that I want to fit back into my size 8's and 10's but keep thinking how much longer can I actually do all this?

Hi Ladies???? Can't the MALE members over 60 read it too? LOL!

Hi Pat,

I am new to JC too. I started 10/24 and am hoping I can keep my motivation going. My husband is not being supportive so I hope I can depend on the message boards. My 1st goal is to lose 40 lbs then on to 60! I have been sedentary for awhile so I need to get moving.

Hi I just got my food and wonder what to do since I do not like milk. I was raised on farm-fresh whole milk and this stuff they call milk today is like white water. Also I could not find any fat-free and sugar free yogurt. Any sugestions?

Try the Fibre One yogurt. It is incredible, and you can't believe it is only 50 calories.

For milk, try eating cheese..

Good luck!

I do not like milk either so I use the yogurt they say you can have for my milk. I also use to put orange juice in my cereal. I know it sounds weird but it is not half bad. I told the lady I signed up under I did not do milk so she let me get things for breakfast that I did not need milk with and then I would have a yogurt. I just started this past Friday and I am 62 and I am loving the food so far.

Hi everyone. I am 61 and started JC on October 12. I was very concerned about the food since I had tried Nutrisytem a few years ago and could not eat the freeze dried stuff they have. CARDBOARD at best. There is something wrong with having to rehydrate meat! I have been very pleased with the food so far and I am in the midst of week 4. I used the planned menus and next week I will be planning my own. It's amazing how much you eat. I am really getting into the volumizing. I am lucky, my husband is being very supportive which is a huge help. I cook something for him or if we go out I save my salad and a veg and eat that while he eats what he wants. I'm curious to see if he loses anything since we are not eating out nearly as much. Why is it so much easier for men to lose!
