So, 10am came and went, and I was at my nearest JC center. They are kind of sparse in the consultant department, but there was a nice girl there to help me. Fortunately, I know how the program works and just really needed to be weighed, measured and to be given my food! What sucks is that since I did not renew within a year, I lose my 30% discount and drop back down to 10%!! Grrreeeaaatttt!! Just what I need right now while buying a house and paying for a wedding! But whatever, my health and soul are worth it!
So, the scale at JC showed me at 207! Yikes! That brings me only 8.2 lbs down from when I originally started JC in Oct 2005!! It's uphill, but I am determined! I set my goal for 150 at the center, since that is the lowest I have weighed as an adult. And that was when I entered the Police Academy in 1997! But the days til the wedding are still ticking away, and I must confess to all of you, that I am seriously considering taking Alli to help me with an extra boost! I have never had a problem eating Olestra chips, [not that it is the same thing] so I am hoping that if I do decide to use them, I won't have too much "anal leakage!" Ewww!! That is just a gross statement!!
Anyway, just wanted to post and hold myself accountable. It is now or never. If DF wants to have a baby soon after we are married [which he has said many, many times] then I need to get my weight down- not just for vanity reasons as far as my wedding gown goes, but also for the health of my future child! One day at a time right? Wish me luck people. I am on my way.

Good Luck!
And good for you for getting back into the JC center. :)
I just know you will look great in your wedding dress!
Ok, here is my two cents on Alli (I have taken the prescription version similar to this) from when I took it. I found that the first time (and there was only 1 other time after that) and I had fatty foods it ran right through me. Not only immediately after, but for part of the next day also! I did try taking it one other time and it was the same. Now, I didn't go out and eat McDonalds but ate a meal that was not all too high in fat content.
Ok, my two cents - take it or leave it but I had to let you know. Just make sure that you aren't working that day - just in case.
Great job on going back in to JC - it does suck that we couldnt pick up where we left off (after a year) with the Rewards. I do have to say that there was one person at the JC center that I went to that messed up my discount (several times) and gave me the 20% instead of the 10%. Who am I to complain or bring that to their attention.
Well there are good and bad things with Alli. I think it would work great for you and jenny craig! I noticed I have to use WW and Alli together and then I am ok. If I revert back to the way I used to eat then, I am reading my english literature homework on the toilet...YUCK
Another thing...I remember you said that you got a promotion, I dont know if you are off the road or not, but I am on the road in patrol for the summer and you HAVE to eat right otherwise you can not get that belt off fast enough or driver fast enough to the next place to go to a somewhat clean bathroom. Good luck with everything, I know you will work hard and get the weight off before the big day!
Just popping by to wish you good luck on your restart. I guess the advantage you have is you already know this works, you'll just need to find good ways to get through the food boredom (if you should run into that again). You can totally do this and we'll be with you every step of the way.
I'm not really an advocate of Alli - mostly due to DH's previous experiences (he had "treatment effects" after having a naked salad and had to sprint out of many a meeting). I know with the wedding you are wanting a boost, unfortunately there really are no quick fixes, you just gotta get down into the trenches and do it.
I think JC is a good option for you right now--you're just too busy and stressed to deal with planning your food. I can't recommend the Alli, though. It's just scary. I think you can lose enough on JC alone to get rid of the back fat for the wedding.
I am excited to be all into this ALLI thing! I am also excited that I talk to someone that is doing it, in my line of work and can relate. Good luck let me know how you do...if you havent bought it yet, go to walmart, it is 10 dollars cheaper than GNC
good luck on your restart! i think there are times when everyone needs to sit down, re-assess and build up some energy to throw themselves back into the grind. also, your dress looks beautiful!
WOW - wedding's slipping up quickly. Glad the dress zipped. Try to breathe and relax (exercise might help) things will work out. Good for you getting back to JC... hope if you go on the alli it works well for you.
