Modifying your Jenny Craig Meal!

Salmon Sushi is very yummy!!!!Okay, Laura made me stop and take a picture of my ‘modified’ Jenny Craig dinner…

Part of the fun is taking the prepared meal from Jenny Craig and doing something with it that makes it special… and… good!

Well, recently a new meal was introduced by Jenny Craig … Salmon with a bed of rice and thinly sliced carrots.

Karen and I have missed having sushi on this diet and we have tried to modify everything to make sushi. However, the salmon and rice was a perfect addition. I add stringbeans and baby onions (sprinkled with Susie Q) for a little extra ( they are ‘free foods’).

Thanks Karen… dinner tonight… was delicious!

Jenny Craig — the family is now down over 150 lbs.

wow! am I really obese?

I have been on Jenny Craig since December 6th and I have lost over 49 lbs… and although I now fit comfortably in a size 38 pair of pants… my BMI (body mass index) says I am ‘very over weight’. Interestingly enough, when I reach my goal weight of ‘229’ — which I haven’t been at since my wrestling days in high school– I will simply be ‘overweight’ and wearing a size 34 pair of pants.

The BMI is a good guideline… but athletes , anyone who works out regularly or genetically has heavy bone density ( you can be tested for this) won’t fit the standard chart. If I were to reach high normal of 205 lbs… well… I’d start recieving food packages from friends.

However, progress is measured in many ways… the scale, how clothes fit, new smaller sizes and compliments. I have tried a lot of diets over the years… including my own very Spartan one… but Jenny Craig’s has been the easiest. In addition, Karen (-53 lbs) and Laura (-48 lbs) have been great diet partners!

Half Way there at Jenny Craig!

closing in on fifty pounds and half way there!

 

Well… it finally happened … I am half way there towards my goal weight! I am down to 272.4… I know that sounds like a lot to some folks… but this was my average weight as a college athlete and although the weight is somewhat distributed differently… I can NOW get into — comfortably — a size 38 pair of pants… that’s a big deal to me.

So I am down 48.2 lbs since December, Karen’s down 51 and Laura 45 since Novemeber… obviously, mine was easier to do.

Thanks Jenny Craig….. Closing in on 50 lbs!

42.6 pounds down with Jenny Craig...

It finally happened! I passed up Laura in absolute pounds lost 42.6 on Jenny Craig to 41 something… it doesn’t matter that she is a mere slip of a girl and her percentage is huge… it’s absolute pounds that mattter! ha! I was worried as I ate huge at Karen’s track banquet at USC… on Sunday.

I lost 6 pounds in the weeks ahead of Jenny… so 48 is my real total… but no matter… it was a good week in dropping 6.2 lbs.

Jenny Craig Dinner…. super sized!

Jenny Craig Dinner.... plus sized
Actually, I designed this meal to actually tease my fellow dieters Karen and Laura.

Laura is on a Jenny Craig 1200 Calorie plan and Karen is on a 1700 Calorie plan now that they are ‘successful dieters’… when you succeed, they drop your calorie intake as you approach your goal. I think they do this to help you along… good idea.

In any event, they protest loudly that I … on a 2300 calorie plan … can actually lose weight… and they protest even louder as it means I get an ‘extra’ meal. I combined my dinner (chili) and my extra meal (turkey burger) into a fine combo meal! Along with the ‘free foods’ of Zuccini and baby onions ( seasoned with Susie Q)… it was…. WONDERFUL!

It does look kinda wonderful doesn’t it? Makes you forget you are actually on a diet.
