I've heard it's OK to do that.  I think the preference is to eat the heavier meal for lunch, though.

Yes, you should be able to do that.

Yes, you can.  From the Fresh & Free list.

I got that info from a handout they gave me called Tips and Tools 

Its also in the getting started guide, and in the app there is a list

I'm a bit late to respond, sorry!

I like some of the meals a lot better if I heat them in the convection oven (air fryer) rather than the microwave.

I like to space out my meals differently on work days than weekends. I need that energy in the morning to focus and be productive on weekdays, whereas on weekends I would rather eat later into the day.

Eat all of your fruits, vegetables, and milks + added protein and fats if applicable. You don't get bonus points for starving yourself.

Plan ahead. If you know when you will eat something of plan and you track it and select something before you are hungry and in a social setting it is so much easier.

Make a note of the meals you don't really like. You will forget!

You should use Fresh & Free.

Good luck! Stick with it! It will be a little hard at first but your body will adjust! Mine did! Sorry for all the exclamation marks!

You can reach you goals!

I just turned 65 and this was my birthday present to myself, a better self and 40 lbs lighter by next year. Good luck to you!

I'm turning 63 next month and it's time to invest in myself!  Good luck to you and belated happy birthday!

I eat my breakfast late.  I do the 14 hour fasting so that only leaves 10 hours to get my meals and snacks in.  I do not eat the recharge bars and they will not stop sending them to me.  They are 190 calories and I don’t really like them.  Maybe try taking a short walk after you eat a late dinner.  I try to move a lot.  8-11,000 steps a day.  Don’t always make it but I try.  I’m down 16.4 lbs in 8 weeks.  That was spending a week in Colorado without Jenny food and 5 nights camping at the Fryebuy Fair in Maine.  Mostly with Jenny food plus a few treats.  Keep going.  

That's great! I feel motivated by the clothes as well--it costs a fortune to look decent in the next size up, whereas moving a size down is easy because I have been there and have the wardrobe!

Hi @Lo2650 !

I hope your second week goes as well as your first did!

Best of luck.

The weekly threads have the most activity.

I'm back on JC too after 5 years. I thought I would give the new program a try. I just started week 2. I lost 5 lbs my first week, so that is encouraging. I do recall that weight loss tends to level off after the 1st week, at least for the over 50 crowd. I'm not discouraged though. I just moved to a new house, so all the activity with moving boxes, furniture and cleanup has helped when it comes to exercise. Good luck to the rest of you that restarted JC. We can do it!

Hi Leslie,

You get a milk with your breakfast, I believe, depending on the menu, on the days you don't have a shake. Also depending on your menu you get a protein or two (or more).

Check the app or the booklet for the exchange, but I'm pretty sure some cream cheese or laughing cow cheese could be one of those things from your menu.

Welcome!  JC is a great program.  You can do it!

Good luck!  It really works if you follow the menu.  YOU CAN DO IT!!

I’m 8 weeks in and down 16.3.  Love it.  Had a vacation week in that 8 weeks and  a 5 day  camping trip to a Fair.  Brought Jenny with me camping.

Hi Cateye! Good luck on your journey. I've been at it over 8 weeks now and am realizing this is only worth it if I develop habits that I am willing to do for the rest of my life. Sure, the food is tasty and so easy, but it has to be part of my long-term plan to take care of myself.

Hi Cateye, I have been a JC client for a long time and managed to keep my weight off or stay with in 10 lbs.  I also just retired from a high stress healthcare job and forgot about all the good eating habits I learned a long the way. This is the heaviest I have been in a long time, but will take off with JC. Just forget about what you did and move on as you are.  Good Luck!!

Thanks for you healthcare services!!

So many new people here this morning.  This is awesome!  You can become a healthier you!

Hi Sadie! Welcome and good luck.

This is day 5 for me. I have swapped lunch and dinner on occasion and still losing. This morning's breakfast was waffle. I swapped the cheese curls around and brought fruit instead. I used some of my afternoon fruit on top of my waffle this morning.  I just read that on the 14 hour fast that we should not drink diet soda. Ooops! I have been drinking diet Ginger Ale in the evenings. I will try to go without it this evening. 

I am not sure what our consultant will tell us about swapping things like I have or as you asked. I'll ask on Friday when we have our call. I need to do what works for me. I get too hungry having fruit with dinner. But if I wait about a half hour and have a Jenny snack, I am fine. That is how my body is responding so I am going with it. Good luck. In five days I have lost 6 lbs. so whatever changes I have made have not hindered my weight loss. 

Hi LSE! Of course your consultant can give you the official JC line on if this is acceptable. I believe it is per the plan--just eat within your time window.

I personally find that if I try to force myself too much to adhere exactly to every single rule of a plan, I can do it for a few months but then I get burnt out. This time around I'm doing my best to follow the plan, as long as it works for me. So under my personalized "do what works for me" version of Rapid Results I am eating the food whatever time of day I want to. Breakfast is my favorite meal so sometimes I save it for "breakfast for dinner". My adaptation of the plan may not be as effective as losing weight quickly as the official plan, but I'm okay with that. I'm going slow and steady.

Best of luck!

I have my shake for my snack throughout the day.  Your coach I’ll advise you.  But I think as long as you eat just what is on the menu for the day….when you eat it doesn’t matter.

Hi DByrd,

I like to continue to follow the weeks 1-4 over and over again (I'm on week 9, doing week 1 for the third time). I then substitute out a few more things than I did in the past. I do this so I keep having variety, because if I only pick my favorites I know I'll get bored.

My consultant told me someone she knows does the exact same menu every single week.

I say do what you want to do. 

Same with the bar. I was not big on the RR Max bar, so I'm doing RR with the bar I like-chocolate and peanut butter. If you prefer to skip the bar altogether I think they give you a substitution for those calories--a protein and a milk of your choice or something (depends on Canada vs US so I don't recall exactly but it's in the materials and your "consultant" can tell you exactly what it is)

@Sally red there is a small group of us in the daily sharing thread that help each other along the way.  A few of us are on maintenance.  Check out our group.  We start a new thread every week.  Maybe you will find some of what you need there.
