in Introduce Yourself
Hi, I’m Fred and this is actually my second time on this program. The first time was two years ago and I lost 17 pounds just by keeping track of calories. After I left, I gained all the weight back plus 5 more pounds. I started on Jenny Craig five weeks ago because it counts calories. I also restarted this program a few days ago. So far I have lost 16 pounds in 5 weeks and hope to keep it off this time using this program and going to the gym on a regular basis. I am 73.

    If you first don't succeed try, try again! Number one rule," Don't ever give up"! Remember why you want to lose weight. The first reason should be for yourself, then for your health. I still have a lot to lose. I have lost 36 lbs. so far! I would love to encourage you in your weight loss journey if you will encourage me! My name is Marca and I am 63 years old. I will send you a request....

    The first 10 were easy. The next 6 were much tougher. The last 14 are going to be like the Battle of the Bulge, but I will win the fight.

    Jeramey, my brother is a truck driver (UPS) and he likes to juice to control his weight. It seems to work for him. He also jogs whenever he has a chance. Good luck to you.
