Jenny Craig…. I’m down 55 and the family down 160 lbs.

the NEW Roger and Laura 2007

What is it about going on a diet that makes you believe that you have always been slimmer? Yes, Laura and I have looked like this most of our married life (35 years this year)… but recently, well… let’s just say that Laura doesn’t want any ‘before’ pictures up… at least on my blog. Karla took this picture when we went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium on Wednesday.Today is ‘weigh-in’ day at Jenny Craig and this is a nice discipline… a fun routine where the proverbial ‘rubber meets the road.’ Will I be slimmer and by how much? Some folks and competitors say the ‘weigh-ins’ are just wrong… but those are folks who think of an entire pie as a single serving. You can’t lie to yourself when someone is looking over your shoulder…. besides it is fun.Karen’s weigh-in was yesterday in South Pasadena. She’s closing in on 60 lbs lost. Our weigh-in was this morning. Laura dropped a pound today and I slimmed down 3 more… As a family we have lost over 160 lbs and I have dropped about 55 lbs. (61 lbs counting my pre-Jenny drop).I’ve got 30 more to go.
