Well said!!! It is so amazing every single day I wake up and look down and am not fat! It is not boring - to look in the mirror now. It is such a fantastic relief not to be fat any more. That feeling is fantastic. So go get bored - and just do this!!! Great blog and inspiring!

When you get off track, you just wake up the next morning and get back on track. its no big deal, dust it off and keep going. As far as forgetting snacks, i know its easy to forgot the JC snacks at home, maybe you can have some shelf stable snacks in your car or purse all the time , just in an emergency? one of those tuna packs from the grocery store is a better choice than a cinamon roll. Whenever i'm under a lot stress and wanna eat off plan, i tell myself that eating off plan will only add to my the stress and anxiety i already have and just make it worse. I tell myself if

Angela, Faith, trust, discipline and lean on your support team. You need to have some faith in yourself. Others have been where you are and they have successfully navigated the many pitfalls that you are experiencing. You can do this...others have...so can you. You are not alone. Trust JC. This program works...but you need to get deep into it. Read it over and over again. Do it over and over again. One day at a time. Just do day one...no cheating...then when you finish...do day two. It takes about 10 days for a new routine to set in and become habi

@crazyjojo You got this! I lost 70ls and I started at age 53... These processed foods are in your freezer and ready every meal, every day. You never have to think about what to make for dinner.. and my results are amazing. I lost 1 -2 lbs a week, lost HUGE number son cholesterol (can't recall, but the doctor was astounded!!!) liKE @Tricia_Marie indicated the forum support is key - a place where you make friends learn what others are doing. SO I sooo hope you check in at least 1 time a day.... And write on the forum posts and let us know any issues or successes. You got this. My highest weight

I just posted a response about this very topic. The gist: I'm 70, had gained weight over time and couldn't lose even a pound on my own. Even tried WW, nothing. I was afraid my age plus all those past diets had messed up my metabolism beyond return. I tried Jenny, highly skeptical that I could lose weight at this age. That was mid April. As of today, I'm 20 pounds lighter, even below my goal weight. If I can do this, YOU can do this. Just follow the plan exactly, add exercise if you can, keep going, and you will see results.

Sue, you are a BadA$$ in the best of ways! Keep looking good and feeling good; it will keep us on plan and on track! It is difficult to look at old photos and see where we’ve been but it’s so inspiring to see where we are or are headed now. You give a lot of hope to others who are struggling with their weight, myself included!! {{{hugs to you}}} And Mr. Right? I bet he’s going to show up soon!! He’d better have as many wonderful attributes as you do! When I was single, I dated Mr. First Love, Mr. Liar, spent years with Mr. Can’t Commit, and finally met (and married) Mr. Right

I think your feet are brave for branching out. Mine are cowards, wear walking shoes and sandals and that's about it! Even when I was teaching it was only comfie shoes.

Now you are in that category of "skinny girls we still have to like because they are nice"!

Did I mention it was a size 8!!!! OK girls - lets go dress shopping....

I love this!! Thanks for sharing. Although I have a long way to go yet I feel better physically and mentally even only losing 25! I'm in this for a lifestyle change.

I do mine on the air fryer. 10-11 minutes at 400. Tops get a little crunch and bottoms crisp. About my favorite meal!!!

I can so relate to this blog. I have been overweight for the last 20 plus years. Sometimes I feel like I will never see a normal weight number again, and then I return to the forum, and these blogs, and am inspired all over again! I’ve lost 19 so far, and another 45 to go. Ounce by ounce, I tell myself! You can do this, FINALLYonmyway!!!!!

I LOVE that salad at Costco! I haven’t bought it in a while……thanks for reminding me!!

@missbumble I just love you bubbly personality as it shows through everything you say on here!! Awesome!! You always inspire me to keep on going and I can do this. I'm at my half-way point to my goal weight and I've been thinking about maintenance and how tedious it will be-I'm hoping it won't be too hard. I refuse to gain this weight back! I plan on staying with JC for as long as I can afford it. It all depends on my husbands employment status-Oil and Gas Industry (Very fickle). I have my favorite JC foods so I know I will be using them as well as MOMO on maintenance. Anyway, I have time to t

So I cant recall how much you lost off hand - but you are like the poster for Jenny Craig. So beautiful and such an amazing spirit!!! This journey is so worth it!!! Gorgeous woman! Just went to your Blog post Before and After, you are a miracle and testament to this program. I am so grateful to have you here on the forum to inspire me. Even when you are busy and not posting daily - just know you have made a huge difference in so many people's lives. Keep posting the pictures!One day, one meal, one experience at a time - We got this!

Hi - So Just a tip or maybe you already do this.. but I bake the breakfast pizzas in the oven and they are very crunchy and fabulouso!!!!

Thanks guys - I cant really buy fancy shoes - so I gave all of these a try - and kept 4 - the black patents and tan patents - are not that bad comfort wise.. the platform makes them bearable... and now I have something for a dress for work... I kept the silvery sandals and the ropey ones with the squarish heel. Everything else went back to store. I am used to wearing SAS comfort shoes - not the sexiest...wanted to risk discomfort a bit.. and branched out a bit...

Sue you look amazing! I love the smile the most!

love it, great colors

Love anything polka dot! You and the dress are sooooo cute! I don't wear dresses much anymore, being the old retired lady! But I just found a casual one and bought it any way. Now where to wear it? Az is pretty casual so I will just have to start a new trend! I also just got a black and white polka dot cross body bag that I love. Wish we had a dress barn here, will have to check it out online. I was raised to be a Bloomingdale girl too but it didn't take!

You look beautiful! Love the dress. I'm always wearing dark or solid tops and always black slacks. Haven't worn a dress since my wedding and then wore it to my nephews wedding. It showed all my rolls. Lol you have to feel pumped. Good job!

Oh my gosh. I'm pretty sure you wrote this just for me. I'm not sure how you knew that it has been a crap week and I have started to slip and make really poor choices... thank you for this amazing post.

I really love this! Thank you.

Well put ... I feel like ME!

I'm on week 16 - lost 30 lbs.. Woo hoo - You guys will be here soon!~!

Marialove , Congratulations?! Without being a Sceptic that is a huge difference overnight ! Do you trust your scale ? Have you weighed in on the Jenny scale ? I had this happen to me right before I joined Jenny . My scale was way off . Lower by 10 pounds . I was schocked when I climbed onto the Jenny scale and was at my highest. Maybe you have lost 14 pounds overnight but I doubt it ! Sorry to be a Debbie downer . Just being realistic Clare

Brilliant idea.. I am a volume eater - and need to look at portion sizes again - The salad plate is a great option to help us train our minds. SO this is what lasagna serving looks like... or even a burger...

You can do this at any age! Jenny has already done the measuring and such for you! Just let the program work for you. Don't over think it. You will be fine. I do agree that these forums are a huge part of it. Post often and read everything!!! You got this!

This program works, just believe in yourself, and do not let your fears take over. I started this program at 278.4 pounds with the goal of 130 (which seemed impossible) but I made small goals along the way and here I am a little over a year later and I weigh 134.8 only 4.8 pounds from my original goal. I chose to call my Jenny goal at 137.4 so that I could prove to myself and others, that I would still be able to lose weight eating on my own and have done great (in my opinion). Jenny not only provides a structured meal plan that is easy to follow, but it also provides the support needed throug

@Yo_Momz and @Susan C. I definitely understand re: clothes shopping, how the sizes are not standardized and things look a lot differently on real people versus mannequins. One of the things I like about Le Tote is, they take as much data as you can give them about your sizing, including your measurements, so they figure out what size you'll fit into in a given brand and you don't have to worry about it. I've gotten at least a dozen boxes from them so far, and they've only been wrong on one pair of pants that was too small (and even then, not by much... I was also bloated that week). Everything

(((Hugs)))) I know what you mean. For so long every time I either got weighed at dr or Jenny I would binge the whole day. It's taken me awhile but I've retrained myself. Maybe it's that TOM? Cravings...you know. As Sue mentioned, drink a lot of water and it will fill you up and hopefully keep the sodium from building up and retaining. Maybe, walk away from the kitchen....lol sometimes I've had to do that.....and it really does help. And then...when you think you want to eat something...come here and post instead.....hopefully that will help too. Enjoy the rest of y

Hi. Please see my post.. no bread and butter... you can have i another day just not tomorrow don't do that to yourself on Day 4! This plan is too expensive to stray in Day 4... you will do awesome!

Easy to make too. Chopped chicken breast, onion, celery, grapes instead of cranberries (less sugar and fresh) chopped almonds or walnuts. I like to use 1/2 low fat Mayo and 1/2 Nonfat plain Greek yogurt. Spices of choice and yum! Some recipes I've seen use canned chicken breast, I've never bought the canned but it would make it easy. I have rotisserie chicken from Costco now and will make this for my lunch today.

If you run out of JC chicken salad kits Costco has a good one that is made with Greek yogurt, cranberries and almonds. It's in the refrigerated area 140 calories. Would be good with whole grain crackers or as a sandwich or just a salad.

How adorable!! It's a happy dress to match your happy smile!!!!!! Adorbs!!

Love the outfit Sue! You just look fabulous!! Who knew shoes can be as fun as dresses when you lose weight - but they are!!!

Sue, the outfit looks great! I love all the shoes. If my arthritic big toes could wear any of them, I’d keep them all! I’m SO GLAD you are enjoying the fruits of your weight loss journey. I can’t wait until I can have fun shopping again!!!!

You look wonderful! You would laugh if you saw the shoes I bought last week---two pairs of LL Bean hiker-type shoes and a pair of black flats. 40+ years of nurses' shoes and sneakers have me owning only one pair of "dressy" shoes reserved for weddings, lol. I go for pure comfort but applaud those who can wear the shoes you picked! If I could wear them I would buy them all!

For me, the problem with short hair is having to get it cut all the time. I used to have almost the exact same style in the early 90s. Seemed like I was always getting my hair cut. The thing I like about it being long is how lazy I can be about getting my butt into the hairdresser. Also, it's easy to pull back when I have a bad hair day. That aside, I think the short cut looks cute on you, but so does the long one. I guess I'm not much help - I'd vote for either way.

You're still recovering from you trip. You'll be back in the "swing" (teehee ) before you know it.

Great pictures!! I love Arizona and apparently it loves you!! 4.2 pounds!!! Take us all on your next vacation...please.

I loved this dress! It's too big now, but maybe I can get it altered .... truly loved it!!!!

Gorgeous!

Hey Clare, Oh of course I don't believe I actually lost over ten pounds overnight. I'm actually not sure what happened to me exactly, Maybe an expert can help haha. Maria

Food for thought... when you feel hungry, where are you? what time is it? what are you in the process of doing? who are you with? On the other hand, when you don't notice your hunger, where are you? what time is it? what are you in the process of doing? who are you with? I find that it helps me to figure out what people / situations / times of day are more likely to trigger my hunger and overeating. Do you enjoy drinking water? Personally, I do not like the taste of the water where I live (and the bottled water that tastes good costs more than soda). I have discovered that enjoying fluids he

I'm confused why you would join Jenny and not eat their food....if you are going to make your own meals wouldn't weight watchers be the way to go? The beauty of Jenny is the convenience of the meals and it also helps with portion control. I would highly recommend sticking with the Jenny meals at least until your half way goal..
