Hi y'all,

I have been so overwhelmed between my last day of work, getting ready for the new job and my class assignments! Leaving work on Friday was tough. I really won't miss the work, but I will miss some of my coworkers--especially one friend I grew really close to. I know I will miss seeing her every day--we always made each other laugh. But life goes on--and I know moving on is the best thing for so many reasons.

Anyway, I did something huge today--I decided to join Jenny Craig. I was just so tired of myself--and feeling like I needed to give something different a try. I have joined WW at least 4 times, so I feel like I just can't make that work for me. Granted, I think its a great plan. But Jenny Craig is more one on one with a consultant--and you start out eating there food (so I won't be having to think so much about what should I eat right now). Then after you lose half the weight you start incorporating other foods...although I do include things like fruits, veggies, yogart, crackers, peanuts and milk that are not in their foods. They have a lot of tasty foods on their menu that I brought home with me--including a cheesecake and chocolate cake dessert. Sounds like my kind of diet! Ha ha. And if you have plans for an outing you can plan for that...so it's not like you can never go out to eat on the plan--they include a dining out guide to help with that. Anyway, I am excited--and just going to take it one day at a time.

Deanne--I hope you are feeling better and out of your funk. I know how you feel. I was feeling rather funky Friday after the day I had--shed a few tears about a lot of stuff on my mind. Just know you are not alone!

Lynn--I peeked at your daugthers dress at the link you posted. That is some dress! It is crazy how expensive dresses are. I think I read in a magazine recently that the average prom dress is $250. That is insane to me! I sure don't remember spending that kind of money on a prom dress--and didn't go in a limo either. Oh well...kids are spoiled more and more all the time. How is Jamie? I can't believe she is still sick! How long has it been? I would be worried sick! I hope she gets better soon!

Well, I am going to go do some cleaning...that just never ends!

Hi
I am 44 single and live in maryland... I started my journey on March 14th and was begining to flounder a bit ... Now i am stepping it up and more determined to meet my goal..

i dont live near a gym so my main exercise is walking 4-6 miles a day..

I am trying to watch my sugar and bad carbs and just take one day at a time...

Hi curly and welcome~~

Karen~~ I heard wonderful things about JC. A good friend of mine lost the 80 pounds she wanted to lose. I think it took her 8-9 months. Her consultant was the key in her weight loss. She told me she would have saved alot if she just bought wwers meals and supplemented with skim milk, fruit and veggies, but she just couldn't do it alone.
Good luck to you and keep us posted!!

Diane~~ have fun at the baby shower. I know a peice of birthday cake and or treats are sometimes not worth the pts. I ate a kashi go lean bar, thinking it was about 4pts, when I looked it up it was 6!! Not worth it!!

WE are going to see the stars wars movie this afternoon. Jim just took heather to breakfast, I decided not to go as my breakfast meal would have ruined my day. I'm very bloated as I'm waiting for my period...
I lanced Jamie's throat last night and the infection was so bad. I had her gargle with peroxide again. She sees the doctor tomorrow.
I hope all is well.. it is raining today in upstate NY.. and cold.. brrrrrrr

Hey girls...I dont have time to write to everyone. I will do that tomorrow morning. I just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know that Im ok. Im out of my funk. Thanks to my DH...we had a blast today. We went to take care of my visa situation and ended up hanging out with the General at immigration. Drinking turkish tea and stuff. May sound lame but it was fun. Got my hair done. That always helps when Im in a funk Its blonde by the way...

Ok, I love yall.

Oh and welcome curly...my dad lives in Crofton, MD. Its beautiful there. We're happy to have you in the group!

Deanne

Well..star wars was great....Jamie is feeling a lil better, still waiting on the blood work results.
I have a doctor appt at 11am , then I'm getting my nails done, a funky orange color. I think I hear one of my daughters telling me to grow up.

ok girls I have to vent...I have been doing great on my food plan during the day and by 8pm I blow it. I have been raiding the kitchen. Last night I ate tortia chips with salsa till I was ill... I know that I am pmsing.. but this is crazy! I have my OA meeting tonight... I have to make sure I go... I have to be more honest with myself...

I girls.. i took this from another tread.. Please write what you are happy and grateful for. When reading this we can stay more postive.
