Hello everyone, I'm Jusalilbabefat. I recently started the Jenny Craig program and I was hoping to find a few others on this site to share the journey with. I've posted on the other Jenny thread which is about a million pages long now, and I thought; Wow how great here is an active community. Well now it seems like a ghost town, no one is really posting. Well, here I am starting a new JC thread. Come on people, lets talk!!! We can do this! I know I would have better success with the support of a great site like 3FC.
So, here's a lil sumtin about myself. I'm a 26 year old trapped in a much older, slower body. I can't really blame my weight gain on any one factor. Just a combo of bad food choices, bad reasons for eating those choices, eating them too frequently, and not being active. Last year I had a beautiful son, my avatar is a pic of him. At the start of my pregnancy I was 215lbs. I'm lucky in two ways, morning sickness hit me and I lost 20lbs my 1st trimester, and somehow I was still blessed with that healthy lil baby. Once I had my baby I was 216lbs. The weight just kept creeping up and up. Somehow I just kept rationalizing the gain in my head as baby fat. I tried to count calories, which I had done in the past well, nothing. WW, which I love that you can eat your own food, but did not work for me. Maybe I wasn't ready I don't know. Then I saw my scale say 228lbs and I thought, OMG. I have never been so big. That's when I noticed the little things, like all my uniforms for work are a bit snug. Or how not only am I out of breath after going up stairs at work, but my knees hurt. I called my JC center that day and made an appt to go in that day and I have been on the program for about to be two weeks.
I like the food, pretty good. I have had like one really bad day, where I ate items not on my planned menu or free foods so far. Usually after a day like that, I'd quit a diet, but not this time. Yesterday was my day after the storm and yeah I made a mistake but I got back up yesterday. I am going to lose this weight and I want some online friends to support and be supported by. Come on ya'll!!! Let's do this
