How 8 Weeks on Jenny Craig Made Me Happier

I was provided a free trial of the Jenny Craig program and meals. However, the opinions expressed are entirely my own.

It’s true – 8 weeks on Jenny Craig has made me happier with me. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t miserable, I just had convinced myself that I was over 40 and I was going to be heavier than I was when I was younger. My metabolism had slowed down and so had I – or so I thought.

Then Christine and I had the opportunity to work with Jenny Craig and it has been life changing — for the better.

I noticed a change in my energy level after only a week on Jenny Craig.  I wasn’t hungry, there were lots of choices and food, more than I was usually eating, but this time it was the right food – a balanced, planned out menu that was made with me in mind.

About the Jenny Craig Program – Members eat 6 times a day (3 main meals with 3 snacks) and follow personally-customized programs, including nearly 100 delicious menu items, personalized menus/activity and motivational plans.  Members can still eat their favorite foods, there is no need to eliminate any food groups. No counting, tracking or worrying.

After 8 weeks on Jenny Craig, I’m not missing my seasonal favorites (like candy corn). I am loving pulling out clothes that had been put in the back of the closet (just in case I ever fit back in them – and I do!) more than candy corn.

So here is my before and after picture to give you an idea of what my #jennycraigmoment looked like.

In 8 Weeks

In 8 weeks on Jenny Craig I have lost 15 pounds and 10 inches (combined from my bust, waist, abs and hips).*  This is just the beginning for me, I’m feeling better, have more energy and enjoy being more active and feeling more comfortable in my clothes.

*Results not typical. Members following our program can expect to lose, on average 1-2 lbs per week. I received promotional consideration.

Am I at my ideal weight? No, not at all, but I feel more motivated than ever to work to get there.

Jenny Craig has put me on the right track and I am happier than I have been in a long time with my body.

What Will Be Your #JennnyCraigMoment

I kept cropping my photos and/or hiding behind my kids in pictures. It was seeing these images that really effected my self-esteem. The picture above of me was the one that really did it. It was a wonderful day with the family on the sandbar, everyone was having a great time and my husband took this picture of me with our son. I saw the picture and realized I was at the same age my father was when he started having trouble with his blood pressure, cholesterol and eventually diabetes.

I was ready for a change – what will be your #JennyCraigMoment?

The Next Steps

Christine and I are thrilled to announce that we will continue on our Jenny Craig journey over the next 8 weeks – the holidays! We look forward to sharing with you our experience and hope you will join us in the conversation.
