I have been struggling with my weight for quite sometime now and am SICK OF IT!!!!!
The past 6 months I have tried numerous things to try and shift this weight but have not had any success. I find I change my mind too often and find it hard to stick with things. I know Jenny Craig will fix that. I need the structure of knowing what I will be eating each day and at this point in time the convenience of not having to prepare food each day. I know a lot of people don't believe this is the right way to go, however I have fully researched the JC program and it does have a maintenance program that follow the weight loss one. I guess too many people think once they get to goal they no longer need help which as we all know is a sure fire way to end up back where you begun or even worse, heavier! I am going to stick with this program until I am at my goal weight and then I WILL follow the maintenance program to ensure I learn what I need to keep at goal weight.
This journal is for me. I have decided I will start advertising the fact that I have it when I am halfway to goal (82kg). If you are reading this then guess what.....I'm halfway to goal! My goal I have set for myself if 68kg. I would love to be at that weight for my wedding in April of next year but if I get down to 74kg I will still be very happy, so either way we look at it I still have a lot of weight to lose. My start weight is 96kg and the heaviest I have ever been was 99.3kg.
As I live in a remote part of Australia my JC food has to come by rail to me. I ordered my first three weeks of the set menu (minus seafood....yuk) and am now waiting impatiently for Monday to roll around so I can start fresh on Tuesday morning.
I spoke with Tracey from the Townsville JC Centre and she was very helpful and seems to be a genuine person. Michelle will be calling me on Monday night after I have received my food to go over everything with me and answer any questions I might have. One thing that JC promotes is support, something I really need if I want to be looking stunning on my wedding day.
My exercise routine is OK. I joined our local gym (thanks to my wonderful employer who paid for half of it) and have been going (fairly) consistantly since I joined. The only problem being that my eating plan seemed to go out the window at the same time. It's probably due to the exercise that I'm not currently over 100kg because I sure should be with the amount I have been eating.
To keep me motivated I have printed out all of the success stories on the JC websites and have been reading through them in my spare time. So many people have been successful with JC and have managed to keep the weight off. I know that next year my picture will be one of those success stories! I have also joined the JC forum. There are a lot of lovely people on there and the best part is that we all have the same goal in mind, weight loss and health. I look forward to getting to know them all better and share in their successes also.
