Hi JEN

I hope you did OK with your weigh-in today (even with your TOM), if not I'm sure you will do twice as well next week.

I lost .5 (half pound today) no big whoop, but I am happy to be going down, even if it is VERY slowly.

Jenny Craig sent me a link to a new JC commercial that is going to start airing next week. Both Val & Kirstie look really good in the commercial.
Jen, I think Val is wearing the same dress as in your avatar.

I hope AMYIA & CHRISTINA & GYPSYDANCER & BLONDEBLUEEYEDBEAUTY & YUMMYMUMMY & ALLTHINGSBRIGHT are all doing well. --Pookie

Hey Pookie, .5 loss... thats awesome!!!! Any loss is a GREAT one!!!! I've been alright other than the fact that my cat jumped the fence (shes in heat) and hasnt been back for three nights

usually when she gets out shes at the door in the morning... but not this time, so I put up lost kitty posters. I go for my next weigh in next wednesday, which will make it two weeks since my last weigh in. People are starting to notice my weight loss so im pretty happy about that.

How is everyone, its like a ghost town here.

Just curious... has anyone ever tried a diet supplement while on Jenny Craig and seen greater results?

chrstna446 · 09-27-2007, 08:24 PM

Congratulations Pookie! All the little drops add up and you've already done very well. Keep it up!

Isn't it great when people notice, Blondblueeyedbeauty? We had a birthday celebration for my parents this past weekend and I got to see some family members that I haven't seen since before JC. It was nice to hear all the complements. It helps to remind us that we've worked hard and affirms that we can do this!

I'm still struggling a bit with my new resolve, but I am doing better then before. I believe if I concentrate on the program and not the scale, I'll have the success that you are all having.

for all of us!

Christina, its awesome that you've lost 50 on JC, I cant even imagine how surprised your family was when they saw you after losing that much weight!!! Do you have any before/after pics?

amyia1977 · 09-29-2007, 09:13 PM

I don't know if I can say I ever tried a diet supplement with JC but I am taking Meridia with my food and I must say its working! I'm actually still losing weight on a 1500 calorie diet. I was diagnosed with Insulin Resistance this summer so losing weight has always been an issue for me. As an example, when I was on Weight Watchers, before being diagnosed it took me 4 months to lose 6lbs and only one week to gain it! LOL...

chrstna446 · 09-30-2007, 02:39 PM

Woo hoo!

I was down 1.8 lbs today and I weighed in with jeans!!

It feels good to drop some weight for a change.

Blondeblueeyedbeauty, I'll need to figure out how to post the pictures, but I'll be sure to scare some up.

Hope you found your cat.

This week I decided to set a goal of losing another pound in one week. I don't normally set weight loss goals because I found myself falling short of the goal and started thinking of myself as a failure

My philosophy was to concentrate on following the program and the weight will follow. I still believe in that philosophy, but I feel like I need to push myself a bit more, like I need to have a clearer goal. We'll see how things work. I'll keep you updated.

I bought the new S'mores bar today. Has anyone tried it? I'm loving the apple crisp and don't want it to go away.

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend and thin thoughts for the coming week.

Christina

Let's see if this works . .

blondeblueeyedbeauty · 09-30-2007, 09:36 PM

Wow, You look amazing!!!!!! I can't wait to get down to my goal, those pictures are such inspiration.

amyia1977 · 10-01-2007, 04:44 PM

Congrats on the weight loss chrstna446! I know where Mammoth Cave is! Its in my home state.. LOL. So what did you think about it? Is Fat Man's misery a work-out or what?? LOL...thats one of my favorite parts of the cave. Can't remember some of the other areas. This is soo healthy for me to see folks like you that have lost a lot of weight with JC! It keeps me going!! I have my 4th weigh-in this afternoon! Wish me luck!!
BTW, has anyone heard of stopping the drinking of water at least 2 hours before weigh-in? Does that really help??

chrstna446 · 10-01-2007, 10:00 PM

Thanks for the compliments blondeblueeyedbeauty and amyia1977.

Looking at my before picture, taken about 3 months before I started JC, I amazed my selfhow far I've come. Thank you blondblueyedbeauty for asking me to post. As I obsess over the last of my pounds, I can see what I've done and that I can get to the finish.

Amyia1977, we didn't walk through the cave. We drove into the park and then went to a Dairy Queen or something. Talk about healthy! I met up with my good friend, pictured with me, and some of her girlfriends in KY and drove to Destin, FL. I have bathing suit pictures of that trip too, but I'll spare all of you of the sight.

Good luck on your weigh-in. Let us know how you did.

(I always weigh-in first thing in the morning without eating or drinking. It's amazing how much one bottle of water will weigh you down. I think you should do whatever works for you, but be consistent.)

Blondeblueeyedbeauty: Did you find your kitty cat?? Hope so!

Amyia, That is great that you are overcoming your insulin resistence and losing weight on JC !

Christina,
Thanks so much for posting those photos-what an INSPIRATION ! You look so lovely.

Jen, Hope you are doing well.

I am making another change in my life (in addition to Jenny Craig). I just hired a professional organizer who is going to come and help me purge my clutter and get organized. I have a feeling that getting my home "in order" will help with my eating program too. She came today and after one session, I already feel "lighter". She is coming again next week to continue.

I like the new JC commercial that came out this week. They both look good.

Jen415 · 10-03-2007, 10:10 AM

Hey y'all! Sorry I haven't posted lately!

Last Thursday's weigh-in showed a 1.4 lb gain, which I was not suprised to see considering TOM showed up!

I've really been sticking to plan and working out this week, so I am hoping to get rid of that 1.4 plus more! I would love to have a 10 lb total loss for my first month, so that would mean the scales will have to show a 3.4 lb loss.

So....this week's magic number is--315.5! I will keep visualizing that number on the scale tomorrow!

blondeblueeyedbeauty · 10-04-2007, 12:01 AM

Well I had my weigh in today after two weeks. Well after the first week I went in the centre and weighed myself... I was up 2 lbs!!!! Then the second week, I stuck to it and cut out some dinners and I dropped the 2lbs + .8 more... good considering I was up... but this week will be better!!!

And I did find my kitty, after four nights being out, she showed up at the back door!!! yay!

Jen- you're doing awesome so far on the plan! Don't let a little gain get to you, you will lose it quickly!

Pookie- hope everything goes well with the organizer. your house will be INCREDIBLY clean and clutter free once they make suggestions.
