Jenny Craig Message Board

I absolutely DETEST the new JC message board. It is so user-unfriendly and all my posts have been deleted. Half the time I can't even get the stupid thing to recognize that I am still logged in. If I have to see one more message that I am not authorized to use the website I am going to scream!!!!

This has been my rant for the day. Thank you and  have a nice day.

I feel good, nah, nah, nah, nah,nah, nah, nah!!!

I had my second WI today and I lost 1.8lbs. I am inching further and further away from that dasterdly 200lb mark. I never want to see that number again! Good riddance!

I am heading into week 3 and last time I had a difficult time with it. This time however, I refuse to get down and out. I love JC and I love losing weight and shaping a new me. Plus, I am armed and ready for superbowl sunday!

Go Giants!!!!

Period.

*Sigh*

I really hate periods. It's not the cramps and things like that but the weight that you either gain or water you retain. I can't decide what it is. This is my first week on JC again and I am also on my period. I have been doing excellent with my diet and exercise but my scale isn't reflecting it. Is this because of my period? Is there anything I can do to get rid of this excess before my WI tomorrow?

Thank you to all of you who have commented. You have all bolstered my confidence and spirit. The support and friendship of others is priceless. Thank you again.

One year later

It has been exactly one year since I first walked into my JC center and tearfully confessed that I needed to lose weight or else. One year since I made a drastic change for the better. One year since I decided to not let others influence my decisions. One year since I decided to be someone I have always wanted to be and thought I was.

2007 had other plans. I have to say, truthfully, this was the worst year I have ever experienced or wish to experience ever again. There was so much devestation hitting me that I can't believe I made it to 2008. Well, I believe that God has other plans for me. He has dusted me off, made me stronger, and gave me another opportunity to lose weight.

I came into the center not the sobbing mess that I was last time but a strong confident woman who knew this was her time. Things are changing this year and I am going to be the force behind it.

Going down?

I love seeing that scale go down! Nothing makes me feel better than to see my hard work pay off. I lost 1lb this week which was great because I ate out a lot. BUT, I was proud that I made good decisions in spite of it. This week will be even better and before you know it, I will be in the 180's. That is my first goal. I haven't been in the 180's for a few years. I am going for a breast reduction consultation March 1st and I am so excited. I hope the process is smooth and fast so that I can have the surgery before summer rolls around. I would be able to wear tank tops!!! That would be so exciting. They are going to measure me and tell me how many grams they will be removing and how much weight that would take off. I am a 38J and I would like to be either a C or a D. I am not sure which. I am so used to having larger breasts that I am afraid to go to low. I am afraid it will make me look disproportionate. Hopefully they will take a good 10-15lbs off. That would make my goal so much easier to attain and it will make exercising so much easier. My ultimate goal is to play soccer again so I am feeling like it is attainable now!!!!

Someone's got a case of the Mondays........

My word I hate Mondays. Especially when all my friends and family are off for silly President's day and I am stuck at work. I am just having one of those days where anything and everything is driving me absolutely batty! It doesn't help that everyone is asking me the same frackin question over and over and over. OPEN UP YOUR EARS FOR PETE'S SAKE!! AAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGG!!!

Perhaps it's the PMS avenger coming out to seek justice against all who annoy. Not sure.............

Anyhoo, tonight is my 5th weigh in and I am not looking forward to it. I didn't do that well last week. I was drawn to tempation like a moth to a flame. Oh well, I am already having a bad attitude day so it won't make a difference if I get bad news. BUT, Tuesday is the start of yet another week and hopefully the end of my crappy attitude. Say a prayer for my hubby and my JCC that I don't flip out on them tonight.

The scale can live.......for now

My week 4 weigh in went great! I lost 2.8lbs and 5 1/2 inches. I am very pleasantly surprised! My consultant was great. She made me feel like I just lost 100lbs and was going to be featured in a magazine. It is great having a cheering squad. She also cut a purple ribbon to 5 1/2 inches so that I could see just how much I had lost. I totally hung it up on my fridge.   My center also has snowflakes up that record how much weight you have lost. I got to move to the next branch because I had lost over 5lbs. Now I have to lose over 10lbs to get to the next branch. I feel like I am in kindergarten again but I am loving it! Life is great!

Week 4 is my savior!!!!

Whew!

After having such a poopy week 3 I am so relieved that week 4 was much, much better. I feel so evened out and I have more energy. I had my own Alamo last week. Me against the fat. Sorry fat but you lost, sucka!!!! MUUUUWAAAHHAAAA!!!! Ok, sorry for the dorkiness but I just feel like I came, I saw, I conquered this week.

I can't believe how many great people are on the Jenny Craig message board. I have so many cyber friends to help me with the program. I don't know what I would do without it! Thank you to everyone who has posted on my blog as well. Your comments helped me get through week 3 too! I have my 4th WI tonight and I have high hopes. I know that I did well this week and that darn scale will reflect it. If not, my center might not have a scale after I leave.

I booked a Florida vacation with a few friends for April which is exactly 2 months away. My goal is to lose 20lbs by the time I leave. Hopefully I won't feel like such a tard in my bathing suite. 

So here are my goals for the next 2 months:

1. Work out 6 times a week, no Sundays, for 1/2 hour

2. DON'T DEVIATE FROM THE PLAN!

3. Keep a positive attitude and think about how great I will feel and look in FLORIDA!!!!!

Gained and lost at the same time

I gained 0.8lbs at my WI on Monday. I lost my motivation for the program. I gained some perspective. I lost my bad attitude.

I was so upset with myself on Monday because I gained 0.8lbs. I couldn't believe that I had already screwed up my diet. I felt like I should just quit the program. The only thing that changed my mind was that I had already paid for the program and I didn't want to make my husband upset with me. So, I bought the food and went home. I immediately went to the JC message boards to find solace, strength, and comfort. I realized that just because I had 1 bad week doesn't mean that I can't have 10 more good weeks to follow. Just because I fell down didn't mean I had to STAY down. I had the choice to get back up or wallow there on the ground. I didn't get up right away but I eventually did and it felt great. I realized that the 0.8lbs didn't hurt me physically but it hurt my pride. I was so upset with myself that I didn't want to face the fact that I failed. Now I realized that so what if I have a bad week. There will be bad weeks with this program but the good weeks will far outweigh the bad and that is all that matters.

COLTS WIN THE SUPERBOWL and I lose my diet

YAY!!! The Colts won the Superbowl! I am so proud and so excited for our team. They finally can shut up all their critics and nay-sayers. I am so elated. We are going to the parade tomorrow to welcome the team home and to celebrate the win. I feel like I am apart of history!

The only bad spot is that I totally went off my diet. I ate all kinds of bad things and all kinds of good things. Oh well, tomorrow is another day and another week for me to get back on track. We only get this moment once! I had so much fun at the party too. I have never really watched a Superbowl. I just went for the party and the commercials. I have a new found respect for the Superbowl. I didn't think the commercials were that great this year. I liked the K-Fed commercial and the hitchiker Budweiser commercial. Oh and the Career Builder commercial where the guy had the trapper keeper, or binder whatever you want to call it, on his head. I cracked up when I saw him. Other than that I thought that they fell kinda flat. The half-time show was great! I love Prince. Purple Rain couldn't have been any better. Oh and the pre-game show was really cool too. I haven't seen a pre-game show that cool before. I would love to see Circ De Sole or however you spell that. Ok, I am exhausted from jumping and screaming at the tv. One last thing before I go. GO COLTS!!!!!!
