I'm not going to write alot here because I've been unsuccessful. It would be really healthy for me to make new friends that have something in common with me (issues with weight.) I'm a 43 yr. old female and I'm currently living somewhere that I don't have any friends or family close by and I'm a survivor. I'd like to meet friends on the internet in a 'safe' environment like the JC program I'm on but it's not happening for me. Can anyone help? Thanks so much!

Hi, I'm Melissa, Sorry you havent had any luck posting.....I would suggest posting on the "General" forum, it gets more traffic. I am sure you will make many friends, just keep posting. Me and many others here would love to communicate with you.

Welcome and yes keep posting. I am kind of a lurker and post seldom but the support and ideas I feel I get just by reading posts is amazing. I have been reading the coffee shop tread and it is great. I am on on page 12 of 36(I think) and I really think I know these woman already. I will comment when I get to the end and let these wonderful woman know how much I appreciate them.
Don't hesitate to just comment on a threat and jump right in. Everyone is so supportive.
Good luck and hope to see you around.

Welcome!!! I have been MIA for a while because I have become addicted to FaceBook! This is a great group of women. The chat is spotty as far as people being in it, but these forums are very active. As other posters have mentioned, drop by the Coffee, Anyone? thread. It is HUGE, but you get to know a lot of the players on these boards.
I won't bore you with my story (God knows the rest of the people on these boards have heard it enough!), but I wanted you to know that you can PM me anytime if you need advice. I have been around Jenny Craig for over 7 years, so I am fairly well versed. I am on maintenance, so I have definitely walked in your shoes.
Good luck!
LOVE, JILL

Hi MeLissa, Gen and Jill
I hope this posts right and you all see this message. I need to update my skills!!! I was so happy to hear from all of you. Thank you for responding and all of your support!
You already know I'm a 43 yr. old female. I live in Colorado. I started the JC program in 10/2008 at 210.4 lbs. (I'm 5'4" tall) with a goal weight of 145 lbs. (I thought I was 5'5 1/2" but apparently I have shrunk over the years...LOL.)
I reached my 145 and kept going so my new goal became 125. I was 126.4 last summer and now I'm at 143
and somewhat concerned as I ponder what I would like my weight to be and how to maintain it now that other factors (my age - slowing down my metabolism) are kicking in.
I've lost alot of weight 5x's throughout my life (once due to my pregnancy) and when I turned 40 I developed the burning desire to lose weight for the last time and to remain at peace with my body for the 2nd half of my life.
That is part of the story of my life...
If anyone would like to be an email buddy with me I can be reached at monstyledevie@live.com. (For anyone who is wondering, that is French and means 'my lifestyle.')
Thanks again to all of you - I look forward to finding the coffee thread you are speaking about...
All the Best and Make it a Beautiful Day because all of you are beautiful!
