Hi all,

I'm a young gay from NYC, and I just joined the program. Today will be my first day, I'm actually about to pop my breakfast in the microwave (I hope the food is good). I have about 60pds to lose and I am super excited. I would love any support you guys can offer. Thanks

Well let me be the first to say welcome! I have only been on the program for 9 weeks and lost 17.2 pounds. This program works. Just stick with it. One piece of advice... try everything once. There will be things you love and others not so much, but if you try it once you might be suprized. Some items i thought would hate turned out to be great.
once again good luck!

Powerboy: Welcome! As another poster said, try everything. I will give you my standard speech, though: you really need to stick with the Planned Menus for the best results. Many people have things they don't like. For me, it is the "bars," both the breakfast bars and the snacks. I just don't feel like I get my bang for my buck. So, you can substitute that one thing during the day for a comparable calorie level. Personally, I prefer the mini loafs to the bars, for example. Another part about the Planned Menus is that you don't have to do them week by week. After you have worked your way through all 4 weeks of Planned Menus, pick the days you like! Then, you can cobble a week together of days you like. Jenny Craig has no problem with you doing that. But, you have to stick to the menus to (a) satisfy the financial terms of your agreement; and ( to get the best results.

I am proof that Jenny works. I have been around this program over 7 years, and I maintained a good part of my weight loss during that time. I am now 3 pounds from my original low, and I will never let the weight come back on. Maintenance is key.

Good luck!

LOVE, JILL

HI! and Welcome! I believe you will LOVE the program. Like everyone else said tried everything at least once. There will be some you love, like and dislike. The program really works as long as you are commited and follow it. I've been on it now for a lil over 7 weeks and lost 28 lbs.

welcome! you really can do it and feel free to ask for all the support you need: from your consultant and from the nice folks on the board here.

i'm a guy in nyc and i've lost 80 pounds and reached my goal (from 213 last year to 133 today). try all the foods and see which ones you like best - you'll definitely develop favorites.

i'm on maintenance now but still can't live without the triple chocolate cheesecake.

good luck! bill
