I'm doing Jenny Craig because I don't cook. I suppose I could go to the grocery store and stock up on frozen foods, but JC does it all for you. It costs about $125/week for the food. It's a preset calorie count, the meals are structured, and the bottom line is, it's easy. And, actually, the food is usually pretty good, if…

That's fantastic. Congratulations. I hope to be able to say that in about a year. Robn

Hi Meagan, A couple thoughts from a long and much-married older woman. First, I find that sometimes when my husband, who also loves me for who I am, tries to take food away, I resent him. And, I'd rather not build that wall between us, so I try not to depend on him. I have recently come to realize that I want him to "take…

Well, day 1 went pretty well. On Day 2 I have a dentist appointment, and another wacky schedule, but I think it will be ok. My husband is being very supportive, although he is not following JC. We have guests here right now, and they're foodies, so it's a little tough on the timing, but I can make up excuses to put it off…

I worry about those stress hormones. I am extremely stressed at work right now, and it will only get worse over the next 6-10 weeks. After that my stress will mostly disappear, but I am starting my weight loss program now. Am I setting myself up for failure with the stress? I do what I can to manage it, but that's not…

Thanks everybody for the welcome, well-wishes and support. I didn't meet my only goal for June last night, and since it's now 20 before 10, I probably won't meet it tonight. But I did get some herbal supplements to help so that I do at least fall asleep, and not lie there with my brain spinning for an hour. The JC food…

So, Barb, thanks for the tip, it worked! And thanks to the other welcoming souls. I don't have the courage to do this all the time, so I appreciate the support. I'm hopeful Jenny Craig will get me recalibrated, so I can learn what appropriate portion sizes are (for the first time in my life) and get me down enough that I…

Thanks so much! This is a test to see if the ticker worked.

How do you add the goals to your posts? I think if I wrote down and aimed for one goal a month, like it seems y'all are doing, I might be able to make it. So, how do I set it into MFP? Robin

I like Oitkos and it's easy to find (here anyway-DC area) but I haven't seen or tried Fage.

Great to hear, Alice. I've just started a journey down the same road. Currently size 26, need to lose 100 pounds. 5 down so far. It helps to hear other's successes to keep going, I think. Thank you.
