Hey Singles! What is up? I'm starving. I can't wait to go to sleep so I can get up and eat my JC breakfast! Is that pathetic or what? I tried to sleep about 1/2 hr ago and I cant! I have an early AM planned but I really want to be out all night and drinking. Honestly I wouldn't mind having a slice of pizza at 4am. But I won't.
I actually look foward to my JC food now.

The scale is finally moving again!! Tomorrow is my WI. I'm excited. How's everyone doing?
Connie- if it makes you feel better, I joined JC and gained steadily for weeks! HA. I've been taking it off thought finally. Long story but I'm sure its on this thread or the PEACHES thread under the 100+ forum.

The drinks and food kill me here in NYC. I've finally got a handle on myself and have doing everything in moderation. I went to a giants/pat game last night and didn't drink and beer or have any hot dogs and i wanted to kill someone at first. Then I got over it and had a great time with my water. Oh life is tough. I started checking out the football players as a distraction LOL

man you ladies are making want to get back into Lost. I"ve missed all of last season.

Has anyone seen Pineapple Express movie? MAN!! I LAUGHED AND LAUGHED AND LAUGHED. and ate candy. That was after my WI in last week so I hope I burned it off by now

Hi Millie! The Lost DVDs come out in December if you want to catch up before the new season starts.

Good job at the football game! That takes A LOT of willpower!

[Millie2]

Thanks Wish!!

I will try to catch up on Lost. I'm traveling a bit for work so maybe I can watch in my hotel room. The problem is that I get so into it I want to stay up until I watch every episode LOL.

I'm off to my WI. TTYL

[Acire1134]

Haha h*ll yeah you gotta stay up and watch the whole season in one sitting!!!!!! LOST is fiercely addictive! I can't wait for the next season to come out so I can buy it and refresh my memory before the new season! Also, Millie my dear, LOST is coming to SciFi channel!! So you can catch it from the very beginning too! Hooray!

I have my vacation coming up and I am hoping to at least maintain during it. It's Orlando, and I know I will be burning calories galore walking around the parks and screaming my head off! Can't wait!

Millie - no I have not seen Pineapple Express, but I did see Tropic Thunder... LoL pretty funny! I am waiting to see Burn After Reading... that looks SO FUNNY!!! Comes out soon! Wooo!! And congrats on the football game willpower!! You rock! I could never have done that!

Don't fret about that 0.2 ounce gain Connie... it will come off before you know it, and it's all water weight anyway, so no worries!! Which 2 days do you go off plan? Maybe if you made the 2 days not together, like... off plan on Mondays and Thursdays, it would help you stay on track more? Also, if you could eat program food on the weekends, which is where people have a tendency to splurge, that may help a lot, at least in the beginning. Just a thought!

LoL Wish I hear you with the drink and big fat burger... Oh man I could use one of those right now. I had my JC turkey burger for lunch just now, but that soooo does not cut it when I want a big one dripping with cheese and bacon... MMMMMMMMM!!! I have my weigh in tomorrow though, so I am trying to keep my eyes on the prize! I don't know if it will be another loss, but I will be happy with a maintain for now. I wasn't as good as I could have been yesterday... had beer and wine and martini and hotdogs and chips and ice cream.... Yikes! But... I also exercised a bunch and swam some laps in the pool! So... we will see.

Happy September everyone!

Wow Jenk...I wrote a really long note to you this weekend but it isn't here. I wonder where it went?? Anyway, welcome to Jenny. I have been amember since Jan of '07 but weight loss actually happened on Aug 15th of "07. I was just going up and down for the first 7 months. I call it my learning curve. Now I have lost 103 lbs and over 65 inches off my body. I started at 429 so you can see I have a long ways to go yet. I have no set final goal as I have no idea where my body will take me. I have been fat so many years and have no idea what I will look like at certain weigts. My body will tell me when it is done...I hope!!
I think you are on the Jenny direct....I go to the centre each week. I love the WI and the support and esp. the accountibility from my JCC. She is awesome..I have actually had 2 main ones but they have both been very good. I look forward to going each week.
I hope you do well with Jenny. I would love to help support you in any way I can. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them. I will attempt to answer them. Keep your eyes on the goal. Be creative with the meals, the salads and veggies get boring unless you spice them up somehow.
Take care. Good Luck. Write when you can.

Hi Everybody

I just found this thread today and wanted to pop in and introduce myself.
First of all, I'm a guy so if this is for the ladies only just ignore me, lol.
I live in a small town in the north-west suburbs of Philadelphia. I am 45 years young, single (although at the moment actually double) and I live with a black & white cat named Dinky. A graphic designer by trade I was working for myself and until this year doing pretty good. My goal with JC is to lose about 165lbs. It has been 8 weeks now and so far I've been doing great.
Hope you are all going strong!
Take care

I notice a lot of you have expressed how difficult it is to have a social life while on the JC program. I know EXACTLY how you feel.

Late nights of clubbing and drinking, followed by an early morning runs to IHOP, and generally poor sleep habits all contributed to my weight problem.

Sadly, I just couldn't shake my friends of these bad habits after I decided to change my life by joining JC.

I have since developed a new set of friends who are committed to a healthy lifestyle. I met most of them through dance classes!

I started taking ballroom and hip-hop dance classes at my local YMCA, and I now have a brand new social circle with whom I can hang out with guilt free. Not to mention that I've lost nearly 20 lbs. as a result of the exercise I get from dance and my dietary changes!

I recently heard from one of my dance instructors that a new show that is kind of a "Dancing With The Stars" meets "The Biggest Loser" is casting. I'd love to get in on that! The contestants from DWTS always look so thin by the season finale.

Does anybody have information about this casting?

Wow, what a bad week I have had!! Sure could use some incentives and motivation from you all. I gained 1.6 last week and then 6.2 lbs this week!! Have been sad and depressed. Went to Burger King and Arby's on 2 consecutive days and did not order salads!! Went to Walgreens and got 2 candy bars, 4 small bags of M&M, 7 rolls of Necco candies (remember these?), and then a bag of oreo cookies. Everything is gone but the cookies. I am taking them to my hair dresser today..she can ditch them, I can't!!
So, ups and downs happen!! I just have to wrap my head around that I am a good person, I am worth losing weight and feeling better, and I don't need to be afraid.
Hope you all are doing better then me!!

well i am newly on the singles board...my bf and i broke up after a year and a half and it is killing me!!! it happened last week. a little bit of both of our faults, mostly mine. however, eating right and on jenny is very difficult right now. i am an emotional eater but pretty much the opposite of most people. when i am depressed like right now i can not eat a thing! i have no appetite. even if i am hungry the thought of food just makes me sick! when i am happy is when i can eat eat eat. weird? i dont know. anyway, its time to get this weight off and start living again. i dont know how people who have been in relationships can really move on...cause i feel like the biggest part of me is lost now. well...sorry to complain...just needed to get this out to hopefully help me a little i guess.

Hi Everyone on JC Singltons,
I have started JC only two weeks ago and Lost 6 lbs.....WHOOO HOOO! YAH ME!
I dont really have anyone around who knows what Im goning threw and to top things off all my friends are men and super skinny ladies.

So Im a single mom, 29 and on my way to lose the baby weight that I put on 6 years ago. I know. Im a little late. Any way, Ive lost most of my friends who dont have kids and the rest are married or getting married and we all know what that means. Why is it when your friends get married they for get about all their single friends.

Here I am reaching out to make a new friend or two. Like I said Im 29 and live in Calgary.
Anyone wanna chat?????


PS: Dont worry my name isnt really chicken Lite....Its Charle!!

Hi all,

Hi Everyone... I see no one has been posting for awhile. it was quite interesting and enlightening some of the posts. I've been losing and gaining a little bit each week, but overall I've lost 14 lbs in 7 weeks. I am at a weight that I haven't been at in years. The past two weeks I've been struggling with a rocky long distance relationship and just can't seem to make it work which makes me sad and eventually I end up turning to food to make me feel better.

Now we all know that eating isn't the answer to our problems, but as we also know, it does something chemically in our brains to make us feel better.... now there's a catch 22 if I ever heard one... food makes you feel better, but the weight that comes from it makes you feel worse!


I used to turn to boxed mashed potatoes and lots of butter... Now, I've tried to go and eat steamed broccoli, cauliflower and carrots with JC's Ranch Salad dressing... it's warm, it's soft, it's comforting. When I get really depressed I put a low fat Blue cheese dressing from Bolthouse and I feel better without adding significant amount of carbs and butter!

Well, I'm off to take some photographs... I'm a amateur photographer and I love the outdoors... I'm going to forget the long distance BF and his broken promise to come up to celebrate Easter with me by taking some pictures and showing him I had a great time without him... But I'm not telling him I cried all day yesterday, nope, I will only tell him that I had a great time on Saturday.

Well Happy Easter All..!!!
