Well I though I'd start my own on-line diary. I did a search but couldn't find any references to the Jenny Craig diet elsewhere on the site so thought I'd note my success (or not) here!
Bit of background I followed the Lighterlife diet in 2007 and lost 6.5 stone...fantastic eh! Then I emigrated to Australia in 2008 and put on 5 stone in weight. I've had several attempts at following the Cambridge diet but just can't seem to get back into the no food thing. So a week and half ago I joined the Jenny Craig diet. This diet is pretty big here in Oz but I think it's only just come to the UK. It's basically a prepared meal plan - you buy your food mostly frozen from the diet centre. They put you on a calorie controlled diet (1200 calories a day for me) which consists of 3 meals and a snack plus additional fruit and vegetables and yoghurt. This has supposedly all been worked out nutitionally to give you the correct proportions - including fat!! The snacks include Choc Fudge Cookie, Caramel popcorn and Toffee Pudding wth sauce - the portion sizes are small but it is a diet, but you eat regularly throughout the day.
I've finished 1 week and lost 1.2kg (3lbs) which I'm pretty pleased by...scales not looking so good this week but weigh in isnt til Weds so we will see.
This is just my first post so I'll leave it there but I'll fill in with a it more info on my background and the food I'm eating now in later posts. Cheers
