what seems to be the problem with JC. I love the food and the weight loss is coming off slowly now than before, but I am pretty much sticking to it when I possibly can. Support is there when you can find it.
Its made me feel a lot better for the 30+ lbs I have lost so far, I can breathe without panting and I can stand up longer. The best is I can do things I wasn't able to do at the beginning of the year. Jenny is great. Do your best and the best will come your way.
Good Luck!
Louisiana here!

Hey Cajun girl.
Hope you're doing well. I don't know how to add you as a friend. I jus started my third week. I'm down almost 8 lbs. How are you liking the food. I'm not thrilled with it but it's nice to not have to weigh and measure all my meals. Let me know how you're doing.

Hey Barb.... I really like enjoy the food (but God knows, and the scale proves I'll eat anything...LOL). I'm on day 2 and so far have done quite well with the meals, snacks and water... ha, my co-workers now think I work in the ladies room!
Let's continue chatting and supporting one another!

I just started in March but have no idea when you are not considered a newbie anymore!! I only work three days a week, the other 4, I do housework and feed my JC forum addiction!! There are a lot of great people on this site and you can get answers to many of the questions you may have right here 24/7!
I love JC, but have to admit I have my favorite and not-so-favorite meals. However, some of my favs are the very meals that often get bashed here on the forum!! I have tried them all (except the salmon) and now just sub a meal if I really don't like it. So....if it is the food you are not gung ho about, just swap what you don't like for the things that you do like. If you aren't getting enough food, don't forget to volumize and add free veggies, SF Jello etc.
If you don't like you counselor, find a new one here and just use your JCC for weigh in and food orders. There are a lot of people here who have had great success and you may be able to find somebody that matches your style and approach better. Just reach out to that person and hopefully you can find the support you need with them.
One other thing - this forum is just like the real world. When you post, expect honest unfiltered opinions in return, whether you want them or not, unless you specify how you want your replies to be (ie - I need hugs or I need the honest in-your-face truth). Some are offended and some need exactly what offends others - there is something for everybody and that is what makes this place special. Just take what you need and disregard what doesn't motivate/help you! BTW, I need it in my face, so I tend to be that way too, disregard me if you need to!!
Don't forget to read your books and if you can, get 100 Days of Weight Loss by Linda Spangle, it has really helped a lot of us!
Best of luck to you!! I hope you find what you need and lose what you don't!!
You CAN do it!! Have a great day Sunnylady!!

I'm 4 weeks in and still struggling! I'm happy to buddy up/friend people as I certainly need the constant support/reminders. I do well, then I don't....it's back and forth and stressful.
I woke up this morning thinking, "YOU ARE WORTH THE EFFORT, and the EFFORT IS WORTH IT!"
I don't know if I read that here in someone's post, heard it somewhere, or what....but I'm trying to remind myself of it to stay focused.

I'm still struggling with that one, Cajun! I do well all day and sabotage myself at night. It's getting worse, though the last 2 nights a friend went walking with me and that seemed to pump me up enough to stay away from the snacks (it was still tough, though!)...I wonder if that's the ticket....working out after work, before the evening munchies settle in?
I've been w/o family the last few nights, so I don't know if I can make my schedule to work out early evening once they return tomorrow...I'll let you know if I figure it out and if it helps...plus, is it the exercising or exercising with a friend....I wonder.....
Take care and a BIG CONGRATS ON YOUR 5.4 LBS at your first weigh in!!!! It's been 4 weeks for me and the JC scale I've lost 4.5 in that time, so, you're waaaay ahead of me! Great job!
I am not getting the emails on the threads, so, I'm delayed on getting online to find the posts....if you ever need or want to chat with someone for support more quickly, just email me...I think you can get the email off my profile or something.
Keep up the great work!
