So this is my second day on Jenny Craig and I am doing well so far, but I was kind of hoping to find a few support buddies on the forums here to check in with every now and then just to let each other know how we are doing. The extra support can't hurt right? Plus I am in this for a long haul since I have a lot more to loose than most other people so anyone who thinks they might like being ... weight loss pen pals? I guess thats the best description, or weight loss forum buddies, I'd appreciate it.

Hi,
Day two; that is great!!! I live in Washington, but originally from CA. Where do you live?
I'd be happy to be one of your Jenny buddies. I've been on the program for about six weeks and have lost 10 lbs. WOO HOO!! I want to lose another 50 lbs.

Hi Chris, congradulations on your 10 lbs. I live in the central valley in Modesto, if you know where that is. I'd be glad to have ou as a jenny buddy, i figure the more people I have to talk to the more support I'll have and the more successful I will be. So glad to meet you, are you in Seattle or another part of Washington?

I'm in California, too, near San Francisco. I'd be happy to be your Jenny buddy, too. I lost weight on Jenny last year but got off track and gained it back. Now, I am back and feeling really motivated. So far I'm down about 6 lbs in two weeks.

Hi I am starting day 1 - did Jenny 10 years ago and lost 30 pounds. I am back to the weight I was then but I did keep it off until this last year or so... guess 8 to 9 years is an accomplishment.
So pretending like it is the first time except this time I KNOW IT DOES WORK!
I am from Sacramento and would love some online jenny pals....
I think the support makes all the difference.

I just went through my first week and would really like to have some new buddies. I do think it helps to have contact with people who are going through the same issues ... and through the same plan.
Week one had a few hiccups for me, but I managed to still lose 5 lbs. during the week. I didn't beat myself up for it and did manage to at least make those hiccups somewhat healthy. For instance, one evening, I was VERY stressed out having to take care of some business and spied a Fatburger down the road. I wrestled internally wether or not to go in, and ended up going to Fatburger ... but at least I got a small turkey burger with fat fries and just enjoyed it.
I am also diabetic, so in a way I'm forced to be a bit healthier than others because splurging has some nasty effects on me. Most times when I feel like indulging I just recall how horrible having high/low blood sugar feels and that stops me ... but it has taken me the last 8-9 years of being Type 2 that has slowly gotten me into this mindset ... it didn't happen overnight. And it is very tough going through the day as food is something we all need.
I just hope there are a few more folks out her in California so we can have a good support group going.

Hi;
I am also new to Jenny Craig and New to CA, San Francisco to be exact. I would love to hear more from locals on tips and tricks they are learning along this journey. I know my biggest challenge is to go out and get active. I used to be athletic but I think I have sat the bench for the last decade. I could really use some motivation and slow coaching back to fighting form... Any thoughts, idea, inspirational quotes..
