Erin W. lost 24 lbs*
Dear Jenny,
Six months ago I found myself in quite a dilemma. My fiancé and I were engaged in late December and made plans for an early wedding in September. This became extremely stressful for me because I was the happiest I had ever been, but also the heaviest! I weighed in at 144 lbs for the first time in my life.
After calling the Jenny Craig Centre closest to me, about 10 times and hanging up, I finally spoke with a Karen. She was the perfect person for me to speak with at that time and she made an appointment for me to come in to the Centre in 20 minutes! I couldn't believe that I could be seen that quickly. I was excited, as well as nervous. Would the people at Jenny Craig be nice or would they look down on me for coming in? I was about to find out!
Talking with Karen was so easy. She made me feel so comfortable that I wanted to tell her exactly how I felt, how my clothes didn't fit, how I felt so tired, how I had no energy, so I told her! She told me that all of my reasons for wanting to lose weight were good reasons and she would help me find a consultant to work with my own personal needs. I couldn't believe this! All I kept thinking was "Wow this is too good to be true". I had tried a couple diets before, but none really seemed like they would be very healthy for me or that I could possibly keep the weight off. Jenny Craig's program really emphasized that it wasn't a diet it was a lifestyle change. I found that I wanted to learn as much about the program as possible.
Meeting with my consultant opened a doorway not only to a new friendship, but to a new life for me. She answered all of my questions so thoroughly and so tirelessly, that I wondered how someone could really know so much about the Jenny Craig program without actually doing it themselves and I really wanted to know how she knew answers to such articulate questions! She told me that she, too, follows the Jenny "lifestyle" and that she even got to her goal weight, and has kept the weight off. I was too happy for words. This was so inspiriting for me. I didn't think I might actually get to my goal weight of 120 lbs* by September, but I was starting to really believe in myself.
My consultant helped me the whole way through my weight loss journey and I was so inspired that I asked about any employment opportunities so that I could teach other people what I learned. Sure enough they got me started as a Jenny Craig consultant right away, and I have been delivering the promise to others in situations as similar as my own and to people with completely different situations. The Jenny Craig program was so compelling to me because it is so real. The food is absolutely delicious and is so convenient. Maintaining my weight by using food, fitness and feeling has made my life so much better and so much more balanced. Every day I wake up ready to face a new day, and I am so happy.
Thank you for listening to my story.
Sincerely, Erin
