I wondered if anyone would come over. I don't post there but check it often to keep me on track. I'm worried with all of the changes Jenny Craig is making that the forums are being monkeyed with.

Hi there ladies!
I created this group in hopes it would take off, but as with most things in life... it's starts out like gang busters and then fizzles out!

I haven't been on the JC forums in quite a long time. I kind of found that there were so many of them that I had a hard time finding one group I felt I could belong with. There used to be a very active JC forum on Spark People, but it too eventually died off. I really like MFP, for lots of reasons, so I hoped we could set up something here.

It's funny... every JCC I've ever spoken with (mine keep getting promoted, so I end up with someone new about every 4 weeks ) tells me they use MFP, especially for tracking food and exercise. That tells me even they find fault with their own website!

About me -- I started Jenny about a year ago and did very well.... lost nearly 40 pounds in a matter of months. But then I had some big setbacks... my favorite JCC left, I had a couple of deaths in the family, and I was diagnosed with Lupus. I've slowly been coming back around. I just met with a new JCC last week. I'm not sure she and I click (she's really young and a total cheerleader!) but I am giving it a try.

I have my last "fling" of the summer this weekend. My husband and I are joining my sister and her family for a "staycation" at the Westin here in San Antonio. Guys will play golf, girls will lay by the pool. We will probably have at least one "bad" meal, but I've learned not to sweat those situations, but just enjoy them and get back on the wagon right after. So that means starting Monday, I'll be all about Jenny, all the time. I've stocked my freezer so I'm ready to go! I have my chicken stuffed sandwich and some sliced cucumbers ready for lunch today, and am already planning for some kind of yummy JC pasta thing and a big salad for dinner.

Hope to get to know you all better!
Ann

Just checking in... how is everyone doing?
No matter how hard I try, I am getting derailed from my JC plan. I took what I think will be my last summer "event" this past weekend and decided this week I would be "all jenny, all the time." Sure enough, all was going great and I had unexpected family drop in for a couple of overnights. Since they live in a pretty rural area, they wanted to go out for dinner. I managed to talk them away from Mexican food (a staple in South Texas) and over to Souper Salad. I fixed myself a huge plate of tossed salad and chose the FF dressing.

But honestly, I really want to do the Jenny thing full time! I know it will show up on the scale -- because it has in the past.
I sent them a message today to "don't wait for me for dinner" in hopes they will do their own dinner, and I can do my JC chicken carbonara when I get home. I guess we will see.
