Giselle C. lost 38 lbs*
Dear Jenny,
I first came into your Centre to lose weight in August of 1996. Being new to the program, I particularly liked the one-on-one counsultations and the weekly weigh-ins. I found that there is a great selection of food and better yet, it tastes delicious! On the program I never worried about what I was going to eat each day because it was already planned out in advance. Now, that's convenient! I never got bored of the food and I always looked forward to trying out the products.
I had tried countless times to lose weight on my own, but it never worked. With Jenny Craig, I was accountable to someone other than myself, my consultant. I was also able to track my weekly success, which kept me motivated.
Let's face it; life is like a box of chocolates....you never know what you're going to get. Months after reaching my first goal, I became pregnant with my second child. Then, 6 months after he was born, I got pregnant with my third! As if I did not have enough confusion and family to keep me busy, my husband and I decided to become foster parents and open our home to children who needed help. I now found myself, like many other women, changing diapers, driving kids to school and meeting appointments. And, as you can imagine, With the expansion of my wonderful family, I had to put my personal goals on hold.
With so much going on, I found that I had no time for myself and began to gain my weight back. I became very concerned about how I was going to lose my weight with 5 children in my home. I knew I had to call Jenny for help and that's just what I did! I decided to become a lifetime member with Jenny and commit myself to having a healthy body and a healthy lifestyle. My experience the second time was just as rewarding, if not better than the first time. I stuck to the program and was successful once again, for good!
I have since become a fitness instructor at my gym. I've had the opportunity to participate in a fitness challenge and have appeared in a magazine, where I was able to share my story and inspire others just like me.
With all this new found success and my lifestyle change, I decided to join the Jenny Craig team as a Centre Director in Ontario. Now, I can share my experience and motivate others daily. Amazingly enough, I have come full circle.
I consider myself to be an ordinary person with extra ordinary goals. The Jenny Craig program definitely works! The program has enabled me to collectively lose over 70 pounds and countless inches. Now, I have gained self-confidence and am able to look and feel great as I focus on my personal goals. I have also become an inspiration to people at my gym and an overnight celebrity! Everyone was interested in how I lost my weight and my response is, if you want to make a healthy lifestyle change you too can call Jenny Craig!
At 36 years old, I have never felt better or been in better shape in my life. I am proud to think that I am an inspiration to my children, especially my daughter. I tell them to always do your best, As we all know, if you are not doing your best, then you are settling for second. Thank you Jenny for helping me to be my best and giving me a second chance at this fantastic life!
Sincerely, Giselle
