Hey North Carolina buddies!

I live in Uptown Charlotte. I haven't joined yet, but will the day after the Super Bowl... we are throwing a big party and I don't want to be on a diet, I am a football fanatic. Anyway, I have never really been on a diet before, I am used to being skinny. But untreated hypothroidism and my Mom passing away and some bad decisions... here 3 years later I found myself more than 80 lbs overweight! I have been in such denial... even though I am nowhere near fitting into them, I still have all of my size 2 clothes in my closet. But I have realized I really need help. I may never reach the size 2 again, but I can't stay where I am now.

I have done some research, and I like Jenny Craig the best from all that I have seen. I have been lurking around on the board for about a week and really like the support I see here. I look forward to talking to all of you, good luck!

Hey Christy! I will be your buddy. I live in Chatham County ( just west of Raleigh). AND I NEED A BUDDY!
I started in July, 2008 & lost about 20+ lbs, then started not going by the plan, but still going to my JC
consultant. I have gone back up (Was initially 253, went to 218, and now am at 232 & AM STUCK!)
I was so upset, that I was going to totally not even do JC anymore, but decided that that was not in my
best interest, so, I called & will be getting the food ordered for me to my home & stlll have a consulant
talk with me. I am happy about this decision & I know that: I MUST NOT GIVE UP...so, let's not give up
together, okay, Buddy? Call me if you need to in the evenings & on weekends. (919) 656-2825.

Hi everyone. I am from the Raleigh Area also..
I am a single mom to a wonderful little boy (he's not so little anymore - 10.5 yrs old and almost as tall as me). I was in a car accident 2 yrs ago that broke my left leg in 3 places. I spent 3mths in a wheelchair and months of rehab to walk again. Anyways... since then I have been watching the lbs attach themselves to my body (over 80lbs in 2yrs!!). The problem was, I just didn't realize how much I had gained until I saw some pics my sister-n-law took at the beach this past summer. It was a major eye opener. I was already overweight to begin with and the additional weight was a nightmare!! So, I finally made the decision to join JC and do something about it.
I am now starting my 3rd week on the program. I am down 11.4 lbs so far.
I would love to keep in touch with ya'll and help motivate eachother. The first week was a breeze for me to get through. The 2nd week was hard. I am blaming it on possible "pms" issues (I would have killed for a reeses cup!!) I am hoping for a better 3rd week.

**Good Luck to each of you!!!

Hi! I am new to Jenny Craig. I have just started the program. I struggle with food. I am highly active as far as exercise but I think my foods are keeping me at a weight I don't want to be. I am attempting to lose 25 lbs and I am in the Chapel Hill/Carrboro area. I may need a buddy to keep me on track.

Hello,
I was born in New Bern, NC but now live in Alabama. I believe there are more overweight people in Alabama than any other state. I have struggled for the last 15 years trying to get 25 pounds off. I have tried everything weight watchers, nutri system, medifast. Jenny Craig seems to be working for me. I am also exercising. I think the positive reinforcement from others is very helpful. It helped me so much last month when my dad passed away and my counselor was a step ahead of me, letting me know that there would be a lot of good food and sweets brought to our families home. He warned me to keep thinking about where I wanted to be and not to eat for comfort sake. I would love to hear from anybody that is trying to get the pounds off.

Wow, there are a lot of us from the same area on here. I'm also in Raleigh and I am starting my 3rd week of JC. Love it so far! I have lost 7 pounds. The food is great and the first week I lost 4.2 pounds! My second week I kind of fell off a little bit and only lost 2.8 pounds. Still not bad, though and my consultant was very pleased with my progress. I am getting married in 2011 so I have quite a while to go, but I want to look great when I start looking for dresses.

I went to the gym today and walked off 100 calories. That took about 20 minutes. I had to leave early b/c I had to get ready for work, but I'm thinking if I can do that every day, that's a pretty good improvement from staying in bed til 10am on the days I go into work late.

Hope everyone is doing well and I hope we can all keep each other motivated and get to our goals!! :-)

[christyu]

Hey ladies!! I hope everyone is doing well on the program.

I just finished my 4th week and I am pleased to announce that I have lost 15.4lbs my first month!!
I have found that some days are much harder than others. By this I mean that.. some days no matter what I eat -- I feel like I am starving! I try to ignore it and drink more water.. but that little voice in my head keeps yelling at me that I want food. Thank God that Spring weather is here and I can go out and walk. My son and I have been going to Shelly Lake and walking. It is a 2mile track and it keeps me away from the refrigerator!!

Take Care,
Christy

Hello ladies! For my birthday, I decided to join Jenny Craig. I will need to lose my ideal weight to be my ideal weight so I guess I have been eating for two for a long time. I thought I would try one more program or submit myself to surgery. The thought of going under the knife one more time does not appeal to me. I hate hospitals! I am glad you are all here...was supposed to start on my bday but doctor did not send in approval of my diet so started yesterday. I have type II diabetes. I have seen what it does and do not want to be another with complications. At any rate, I live in Raleigh and look forward to losing with all of you.

This is to the ladies in Raleigh:
Do you use the center off of Lynn Rd? If so, who is your consultant? Thanks.

[christyu]

Yes , I go to the Lynn Road location. The consultant I usually see is Cheryl.

[BeccaBecca]

Hi Gang. I go to the Lynn Road Location. I've been going there since Feb '09. My JCC up until November was Jill but she left to go back to school. She was so awesome and I miss her terribly. I now have Emanual every other week. (As a nurse, I have a non-traditional work schedule so I can't go the same day every week). On the opposite weeks I get stuck with whoever. I personally can't stand Sheryl (sp?). She talks like she's reading the JC script and tries to cram in an advertisement to buy extra products. Ugh......I cancelled a few weeks ago 'cause I knew it was gonna be her and I just couldn't deal with her!

[wellrounded-woman]

I do the mail my food to my house thing and have a phone in consultant. I have a hard time keeping appts and this fits in my lifestyle.
