Hi everyone,

I've never thought of myself as hugely overweight, but recently I've been feeling more and more self conscious. I'm approximately 30 lbs over my ideal weight, and that's due to my unhealthy eating habits. To correct the issue, I've joined Jenny Craig so that I can learn to eat more healthy foods on a regular basis. My willpower sucks unless I have someone to report to! This board seems like a great place to find tips and encouragement. Thanks!

    Hi! I just started my journey on April 1, 2009 and I'm really looking forward to getting in shape again. Maybe we can encourage each other. I'm trying to work out at least 4 days a week and really love logging my food intake. This program is awsome because you get immediate feedback.

    I agree this is a great way to keep track of your eating habits as well as a great way to keep track of exersize!! IIt motivates you and also lets you know when you will reach you'r goal weight with the diet an exersize plan you enter each day!!!

    Hi, and welcome to THE best site on the web!
    Just my opinion, but MFP is ALL you need. You don't need to spend all kinds of money on Jenny Craig foods. Here at MFP you eat your OWN foods.
    Between the easy to use food counter (which by the way is SUCH an eye opener!) and all the wonderfully supportive members, you WILL be able to lose the weight that you want to, AND, it'll "almost" be easy doing it!
    I recommend logging ALL your foods BEFORE you have them, rather than later, as it tends to lead to better food choices. (not to mention you'll know if you've got enough numbers left to have a night time snack, like I ALWAYS try to do!) Some people also like to weigh and measure some things, such as meats, rather than just estimating and possibly being WAY off!
    Also, drink lots of water, that seems to help alot too. :drinker:
