A friend of mine tried Jenny Craig. She got tire of the food after a couple of months but lost a lot of weight. But since she has quit has gained it back plus more. Once you start on Jenny Craig you have to stay on it for life to keep the weight off. As is with all diets. My doctors advice to me was to eat what I want but less. Use a smaller plate. Don't take seconds. Limit you candy and snack intake to a 100 calorie snack a day. And find something fun to do for exercise. I gained a ton of weight while they were trying to find the right dose of thyroid medicine. It took four years for them to get is right. In Feb. I decided I was going to lose weight. I eat all the same things I always have but less. Pepsi is a once a week thing now instead of every day. I have lost over 20 pounds. We also got an air rider for me to use. That got boring after a month. Now my husband and I go bike riding in the evening. But honestly, the best way to lose weight is to find a lady friend that is trying to lose weight and talk every day. Even a email or AIM friend can be helpful. Drink a glass of water without ice about a half hour before dinner. That will curb your eating also. Don't chew gum. It is a proven fact that gum can make you hunger for food. And smile and laugh alot. Accept yourself for the way you look now. I know it's hard but when you do that it seems to make losing easier. Good Luck. I know I am at a stand still with my weight loss and it is driving me crazy.
