I'm in Brookfield,and I also go to the Brookfield Centre. My appointments are on Saturday mornings,and I just love my consultant! She's been very supportive.

I've been on the program since March 5, and I have lost 59 pounds so far. I love this program!

I dont' live in wisconsin but I am close, I live in Illinois, by Rockford.

I live close to the IL/WI border in Rockton

[Tryn2lose]

Beloit, WI here. I go to the Rockford Jenny Craig! I am in my first week and doing great!! Love the food and the fact that I don't have to count points or figure out what I am going to eat!!

Hi how are you - I live in Rockton which is very close to Beloit.

[Tryn2lose]

Hello Beloit. I just came across your post. I live in Loves Park but work in Beloit. I also go to the Rockford center. I reached my goal (80 pounds) last summer, but also hit menopause. That has thrown me for a loop, and I have gained back 40 pounds. I just got back on track this week, after going on hormone replacement.

I read the boards a lot, but this is the first time I have posted. I hope I am doing it right.

Who is your counsellor. I have Angie, and I just love her!

Good luck. If I can help, let me know.

Hi Stitches - how are you? I live in Rockton

I live in Edgerton & need some "buddies" to help with weight-loss, wish I could find some one on one.
I'm married with a 2 yr old son but really wish I had some friends around here to walk with & help with motivating and exercise.
This sure is tough & I'm not a motivated weight-loss girl.
Thinking about joining but realizing after reading posts how expensive it can get, any advice for first timers?
Tina

How motivated are you? The etools online are free so if you are self-disciplined you could do your weight reduction online by following the program and purchasing the appropriate food at the grocery store
based on the plan for women and at the caloric level you wish to start at.

Hi All! I'm from Milwaukee. I'm in my 4th week and I am down 11.4 lbs! Whooo hoooooo! It has not been easy BUT it is working and It is keeping me motivated. I have to be very strict though, because I have a very bad habit of giving up and going the easy way. So my little milestones, like finishing the food I buy, help me out. Thanks to whoever started this post!

I too live in Milwaukee and attend the Fox Point center. I am down 11lbs and am loving the fact that I don't have to count points or calories. I like the idea of having to just decide what food I want on what day and then sit down and eat it. JC has been a great life saver.

Hello,I live in Middleton,WI... Cardinals!!!! Just started my 5th week. I'm taking it nice and slow. Not be in a rush. My biggest hardship is not being able to eat much as rice as I want to.....come from a Japanese family. Japanese eat rice 3 times a day. And my husband owns a Japanese restraraunt,so it's really hard. But I just found out I lost my first 9 inches. So I'm thrilled. I have a long journey yet but looking forward to it. Good healthy eating everyone. Also I use a balance ball,what fun!! I also drink lots of green tea and also oolong tea.

What does the tea do? Congratulations on your success so far. I too come from a culture that is use to eating a certain unhealthy way. I have come to realize that I can't continue with that practice and be able to be healthy. As an African American woman I struggle with staying healthy because of all my favorite foods not being healthy for me. So I am trying to take this journey step by step.
What does your consultant say about how to incorporate your cultural practice?

Just wondered if anyone is here that lives in Wisconsin?

Hi I am in Waukesha County, WI.

Where do you live?

I live in Burlington, WI. I am starting the program tomorrow, Jan. 1st. Am off work right now, but go back on Monday - I'm a teacher. Actually am looking forward to starting and getting back to school, as it's much easier for me to control my eating when I'm not at home. Wish me luck!

I live in Seymour, 15 minutes west of GB. I go to the GB site and this is my 5th month into it.

Hello,
I am from Rhinelander, WI. I used to go to the Jenny Craig in Minnetonka, MN-When I lived there. I lost 50 pounds. It works! In the last two years-I had a little boy and now going through a divorce. (Emotional eatting anyone!) I decided to start up again to get to my ideal weight. I am starting at 244 and looking foward to under 200. I love Jenny and I hope that you will find it as rewarding as I did the first time around. If you stick to it-you will lose.

Wausau, WI...
I'm actually not an official JC yet...I'm on HMR-mainly because I need the face-to-face contact to stay on this darn thing. This is through the Marshfield Clinic and so far, it seems good. The food is decent. We need more JC centers in this state. Had there been a JC here, I would've joined in a heartbeat.
