Last night I had a chance to try Jenny Craig's new Grilled Tomatillo Chicken. Like I mentioned before, I've become a little bit bored of eating the same few foods and JC brings new foods to the centre's every season. It has brown rice, black beans, corn, mozzarella, grilled chicken, and ...

Jenny Craig always brings out temporary foods for new seasons. If some become nationally popular then they remain permanent. I love this about the company because even if you start to become bored with eating the same foods the seasonal foods help make things more interesting. This...

Happy Friday, everyone! I weighed in at JC last night and as predicted I am still two pounds away from my goal weight on their scale even though I've hit 125.8 on my personal scale. Like I said, I was aware this was going to happen, all the food and drinks from the day contributes and I weigh ...

How "healthy" are those McDonald's fruit smoothies? So many companies market products as healthy just because they have fruit in them. I see a lot of people drinking them lately. If you drink them as your only source of breakfast then the calories and fat are low: 210 cal, 0....

My husband said to me last weekend while we were out shopping, "I need you to pull into a drive-through. I'm starving and I need a snack." (Lately he's been doing a lot of manual labor on the farm and gets shaky from hunger because he's burning so many calories). I, of course, inst...

A reader recently wrote this, "You've blogged a lot about a weight loss plateau and I'm stuck. I've tried changing up my exercise routine and adding different things into it but it won't budge." Here's my suggestion: write down everything you eat for a week. My guess is that ...

Today is a time to reflect on the tragedy of 9/11 ten years ago. We remember those we lost and all the loved ones affected. It is times such as these that remind me of the insignificance of trivial matters such as weight loss. I blog about my own journey because I am a "real" perso...

You are supposed to be drinking 2 cups of milk per day if you're following my 1200 calorie diet. You can certainly mix it up if you don't really like milk very much. For example, the creamer in my coffee counts as one. The other one later in your day could be a 6 oz. yogurt if you'...
