Welcome! I tried Jenny Craig a few years ago...got within 10 pounds of my goal. My daughter went on it with me and was a poster child for Jenny's program. We ended up quiting because: 1. The price of the food. It was just too much after a while and when we got close to our goal weights, we thought we could do it on our own. 2. The consultants. Be sure, since you are the one PAYING, that you get a really enthusiastic consultant. Remember, the consultants at Jenny Craig are salespeople FIRST, and coaches second. If your consultant isn't HIGHLY motivating, then the program will stop working for you. My consultant, week after week, got bored with me and I with her. Switch consultants every month or so and change it up! 3. No support group to go to or talk with. Jenny Craig does not let their clients connect with each other. So successes and failures are not easy to track. You can join the "SS" group here on this forum and they will provide ALL the emotional diet support you need. But Jenny Craig is good for: 1. The jump start! It's really motivating to get those first pounds falling off fast and jenny Craig will do that for you. 2. Stick to the food they give you. I LOVED the taste of the food and the fact that I didn't have to think about fixing meals, counting calories, and the pounds just kept coming off. 3. I liked having someone else track my progress, measurements, and weight. Having to account ot someone every week was a VERY GOOD THING! Good luck on the program. PS: Both my daughter and I gained ALL the weight back, and more. Now we are both going to the gym and trying to be realistic about weight loss and maintnance. The key: You have to MOVE YOUR BODY (exercise) to be successful. And eat natural, whole foods. But Jenny Craig is an EXCELLENT way to get started on your weight loss journey!

As good as that fish looks, Nancy, I am afraid I just can't wrap my head around strawberries on fish! But I know you are a superb cook so I will take your word that it is delightful. I will, however, try your pecan crust recipe! Now THAT is something my brain can comprehend! LOL Linda

I WILL be trying this one! Three weeks ago, DH, for some reason, decided to turn off the camper refrigerator with food and a whole bag of ice in it. I've scrubbed it out, baking soda, and three changes of charcoal. The frige is now usable, but the freezer still smells. It has improved greatly, but to use it this weekend, I triple bagged the few things I had to put in the freezer. And I still have charcoal on newspaper in it! When I go to the camp ground tonight, I will take plenty of newspaper and wet some, put it in a foil tray and put it in the freezer. You may have just saved "someone's" hide! Thanks. Tami

What a beautiful pattern and excellent production. I'm totally amazed that you accomplished this stunning work while recovering from shoulder surgery. your mother is sure to be extremely pleased with the result. Kristene
