Anyone on Jenny Craig?

[Juliegirl1]

I'm extremely bummed. I can't get the surgeon (my gosh he's stubborn) to sign the Jenny Craig paperwork and Jenny Craig won't let me do the program without a doctor's signature. I've been to two other doctors who won't sign it because they didn't do the surgery.

Now I have to wait until December to go back when I joined Jenny Craig to lose the weight before my December trip! I never should have told them that I had surgery and I wouldn't be in this mess and wouldn't have spent all that money on doctors and sign up fees for nothing. I'm extremely frustrated.

On the other hand, I am happy for you all that you are either maintaining or losing. Good work!

JulieGirl... I'm sorry to hear that the doctor's have put up this roadblock for you, but we will be here waiting to support you when you get the release.
Don't lose hope... Think of all of that walking that you will be doing at Disney and that will help you stay on track until you can start on Jenny Craig again...

MainStMandy.... Thanks for the heads up. Can't wait to see what is coming up.

On a side note....

I lost three pounds this week and blew past my ten pound mini goal mark....

I am so excited I could just burst....

Hope everyone's week is going well so far...

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing... I weighed in last night and lost a pound. I am happy with that because it was a tough week for me with some unexpected travel and work committments. I am happy to be back home and following the program again so I am hoping for a better week this week.

I also saw some of the new food items that are out and bought the BBQ chicken pizza to try and I had the triple chocolate cheesecake last night and OMG was it yummy!!!

Hope everyone is doing well,
Goof

Isn't the chocolate cheesecake yummy?? OMG!!! The BBQ chicken pizza is good too.

Things are going well here, still maintaining but need to be better with my decisions. I have a boyfriend now love so we are eating a lot of yummy homemade comfort foods SO I have to be good during the week.

Hope everyone is doing great.

Here is this weeks affirmation:
I am able to change my lifestyle despite the failures in the past.

Stay positive girls!! Remember it's progress not perfection!!

Hi everyone...

MainStMandy - thanks for the affirmation... that is a good one. Congrats on the new boyfriend and good luck with the decision making... It will be worth it.

The week is going well for me so far. Weigh in is tomorrow but I am thinking it should go well. I even managed to bake cookies for a bake sale last night without eating half the dough and only tried 1/2 cookie to make sure they came out all right. It is cool - this new healthier lifestyle is getting easier and easier with each week. I am beginning to think that I can actually succeed at this....

Have a great weekend,
goof

Hi Everyone...

Weighed in on Saturday and lost anothe 4 pounds

I sat and stared at the number on the scale because I couldn't believe it... My JC consultant started laughing and said I was not dreaming that the number was the right one. To make things even cooler, I went shopping for my company christmas party outfit and found that I can now wear things that I couldn't before because they didn't hang right, etc. I even went down a size in my sweaters!!!

Here is to another great week....

Goof

Hello????

 

[goofyfan-12]

Sorry for the lack of posts... I ran into a little speed bump over the holidays known as my gallbladder.... It has been taken care of and all is well again... I am still on Jenny Craig and have lost a total of 26.5 pounds to date...

How about you all? Anyone else still out there???

If so, how are you doing?

Goof

 

[MainStMandy]

I'm still here and feeling gross. I have been stress eating so bad lately. I haven't gained any weight but am feeling flabby. I don't want to join a gym because I just don't go. I have a few tapes at home and my balance ball but I just am not motivated.

 

[goofyfan-12]

Hi MainStMandy...

I know what you mean about joining a gym and then not going. I have been paying for a membership for over a year now, but haven't step foot inside the place in almost 10 months... Not exactly a wise use of my money...

I have been using the Jenny Craig Walking tapes with Leslie Sansone and they seem to be helping... I'm on week three and I'm still doing them so that is a plus right... I also signed up for an aqua aerobics class and am looking forward to that. I find it is easier to schedule the workouts in if I sign up for a specific date and time. If it is in my calendar, I am less likely to blow it off. My class starts the first Monday in February and right now, I can't wait for it...

Hang in there... you can do this. We are here to help each other right?

Goof

I know.I have been thinking about joinging a class. Then I am committed to specific time and place. I have been looking but am not sure yet. Those Leslie Sansone tapes are really good. Maybe I will get one

Starting up myself.

I haven't done this in years.

What is the rewards program? How much do you have to pay upfront?

Thanks,

Dawn

Hi Dawn,

Welcome (or should I say welcome back...)!!!!

I decided on the rewards program because I knew I had more than twenty pounds to lose. The discounts on the food have been great. I am trying to remember the start up costs and I think it was in the neighborhood of $250 - $300 payable over a few months. I am not sure if this price varies based on where in the country you live, but it should give you an idea of what to expect. I have heard the consultants say that the discounts on the food will cover the start up costs by about your 10th week. I haven't actually checked the numbers to verify it though.

I have loved the program and am up to a 30 pound loss in four months...

good luck,
Goof

 

[MainStMandy]

Just as an FYI the company as a whole is starting to do away with the Rewards Program and discounts. My franchise did away with them and starting today we now have whats called a premium program. There will only be discounts the first 10 weeks...thats it. We are focusing on the maintenance and giving rewards for reaching your halfway and goal weights.

 

[DawnM]

Interesting.
Do you think those that already bought into it will still get the discount???

I did JC when it was about 10 dollars per day.....now it is 12-18????? Yikes! And I really don't like their cheaper stuff. I like the frozen meals and such.

Hi Belle....

Welcome to the JC program... Good luck with it and if you have any questions, let us know... I have been on it since October and lost a little over 30 pounds already... This has by far, been the easist and most successful diet program I have ever been on...

Check in and let us know how you are doing...

Welcome! I'm new too. I've lost 6 pounds in two weeks. I really have to say, the food is great and I'm hoping to continue successfully. I'm doing at home too. I am going on a cruise next week. That is my big challenge! But I know that as soon as we get back, I will be right back on track. (Last week I ordered a 4 week supply of food so that it will be here waiting for me when we get back!)
