Oh no, Meek! I am praying for you and Christian right now! I am so glad they have already given you the steroids! Please update when you can!

I believe in the power of prayer, and I know Meek does too, so I posted a thread on the PG for them.

And just like with anything else, the moment, you stop doing it and go back to old "bad" habits, the weight will creep back on. I say this because I don't want you to spend all this money to be in shape in a year (which if you don't workout you won't be in shape anyway you'll just be what they call "skinny-fat"), when you could follow low carb or weight watchers or just eat Lean Cuisine for a year or just a low glycemic index plan and lose as much or more for A LOT less stress on the wallet. As someone that has gained and lost lots of weight a couple times, my advice is to workout (join a gym if you have to though i prefer to workout at home - have lots of choices and Schedule it every day), drink your water and find a plan that looks like it will work with your lifestyle (it does not have to be what most other people do, it has to be what you know you can deal with and stick to personally). A year is an awful long time to get to where you want to be, you can do it economically. Basically with plans like Jenny Craig, you are paying for accountability and the food they provide. Eventually they will ease you off the food, off your counselor also and you'll be doing it on your own anyway. I think you can totally do it, with a friend or ediets.com or something similar. My personal advice is, if you don't think you can stick to a plan on your own, you would better invest your money in a real therapist (with a degree) to help you understand and work on the way (you and many of us) use food to soothe emotions and self sabotage. That therapy will help you long term, that is money well spent. Just my two cents. Good luck. I have faith you can do this. By July of next year you could do wonders with your body. Shoot, just doing a 90 day plan like P90X, you could take your body fat down significantly, just think if you did 4 rounds of it between now and July 2010. WOW I can't imagine how hot you'd be lookin'. Or 6 rounds of Slim and 6. Both of these plans come with a diet plan. Another one that is excellent is Chalene Extreme, it is only 30-40 min 6 days a week. If you combined that with some extra walking...shoot you'd be model ready long before a year. We already know what it takes to lose weight, it's the part of making ourselves do it that is the issue. I think ultimately we all have to find that part of ourselves anyway whether you end up doing Jenny Craig or not. It's only that if you don't find it while you lose all that weight with "her" you'll be pissed at yourself for "wasting" all that money. If you gain it all back after doing it on your own, you'll be kickin' yourself but at least you will not have spent a mint in the process.

Good luck!

Hey Jenny...I knew I knew you...It's Jenn Avery from SP.

I was looking for Meek's update and saw you on here. Small world.

Meek ~ Thank goodness you and Christian are doing well. My continued prayers will be with you until he's home.

Jenny ~ You poor thing! I remember how horrible the last 6 weeks of pregnancy were for me. Hang in there, not too long to go now. I got back from the lake yesterday and went to a family reunion last night. I'm going to start fresh today but still can't decide on an eating plan. I need to get to the grocery store so I am prepared for the week.

I'll BBL!!
