Hi everyone:

I joined Jenny Craig at the end of last year and weighed just over 200 lbs. Since that time, I've gotten myself down to the mid-160s - only to get totally stuck over the summer and slip back into bad eating habits. Luckily I haven't gained, just maintained, but now I really want to lose the rest of the weight and get to my goal of 130 lbs. So, in an attempt to get things kickstarted again, I joined MFP (I was a member in the past) and am hoping for good things to come!

    Hey! Congratz on losing 35 pounds! Thats amazing! My highest weight was 160, at 5'4, got down to 120 back in June, Slipped verryyyy badly back into old habits and am now at 147. Hoping to get down to 115, around 125 by January. Just started getting back on track recently and hoping I can stay on it! :)

    wow! that's an amazing accomplishment! 200 is where I am now. I just had my son 5 weeks ago via c-section. He was a 10 LB baby, I' so blessed but the extra weight is killing me. LOL hopefully I can be as motivated as you and lose those pesky pounds!

    Hi, I'm new to this so could do with some support as well. Not so much for staying on it but making sure I'm doing it right. I am similar weight to you but haven't really lost any weight. I have been honest with what I'm eating and recording, 1200 cal a day but the lbs are not coming off. I put a post up just recently. Ay you ave done it before, any advice?

    Hi everyone, thanks for the kind words and welcome! Gail, my advice is get someone to be accountable to. I live alone and so it's hard to stick to a plan without reporting to someone. My Jenny Craig consultant has been great for that reason for me. :)
