Hello JC friends. I just rejoined JC after losing my mom suddenly last year due to high blood pressure. She passed in her sleep. It's been a long year and a half. I was on JC but stopped when she died. I was only on JC for about 4 months and I know it works. I just feel like I need preplanned meals and accountability (support buddies I'm sure would help). I post this for anybody who has high blood pressure as a warning to take it seriously and eat right and exercise so your loved ones don't go the hurt I've gone through by missing my best friend my mom. So my rejoining Jenny Craig is crucial to my mindset and health at this point in my life I believe just to regain some control of my thought process and choices and take care of myself. Thanks for listening. Hope you have a great day. This is my first day on JC. Prayers appreciated.

Welcome back Deb!

So sorry to hear about your mother...I also lost my dad last year, so I know the grief you feel my friend.

Yes, HBP is a horrible and devastating disease to have. I had it when I first started JC.....one of the many health problems I had and why I joined. I have since been able to stop all meds since losing down to my goal weight, yayyy me!

I am so glad you rejoined and would love to be here for you to support and just be a listening ear. Please come here often......give the "General" forum a look as well, there are lots more threads to read and where most of us hang out.

My thoughts and prayers are with you hun

Thanks for the encouragement. It made my day to see that someone actually read my post and cared enough to write back. You have had great success on the program and kuddos to you for your efforts. People think it's easy to keep trying, but it's not. Thanks for the kind words. I actually had a great exercise day and worked out with my daughter. Glad to be back on the program and meet new friends. Deb

Thats great deb! Its always easier to workout when I have someone with me.....makes time go by faster, can you tell I'm not a fan of exercise? lol. I do it, but not w/out a fight with myself first. ha

Its really hard to start a new eating habit, but once you do, the way you feel is priceless....more energy, and a better sense of self worth!....but you are so right girl, its not easy to keep going....it takes alot of self talk and positive re-enforcement for sure.

Hey, have you ever read the book 100 days of weight loss by Linda Spangle? If not, you will LOVE her book. That book is what kept me on the right track through my journey.....give it a try, alot of us here on the forums have read it.....we even had a thread about it at one time and Linda Spangle herself joined in. I wrote to her and ask if she would and I couldnt believe it when she actually did. ha

Here is the link to the thread where Linda joined in our discussion group.

Good chatting with ya Deb, let me know if I can help in anyway.

[I Called Jenny]

Deb, welcome back!!! So happy you're here and please know you have my prayers and sympathy on the passing of your mom.

I'm so proud of you for caring enough about your health to want to do this.

My BP was always ok but my cholesterol (a huge family history of problems) was out of control so I've been on meds for years. But I lost the weight and my numbers came down so much I don't need the meds anymore. Yes!!!

You have great motivation and that will help see you through all this. And you have ALL OF US supporting you. We can do anything with the support of each other.

Keep reading and posting. We want to see how well you're doing and get your input as well.

You're going to do great!

Phyllis

Deb - Welcome back from another Deb!!!

This bunch of gals are great at keeping everyone motivated and moving!! My youngest daughter needs to lose some weight as well but cannot afford Jenny. I know that she is watching me and seeing what I am doing and that has made a huge impact on her. She has lost at least 15 pounds as a result!! We are such an influence on our younguns.... even when they don't say so, they are watching us.

Keep coming back!!
