1-800-JENNY

Sigh. So I did it. I joined Jenny Craig. Ok, so most of you must be thinking that Kitteh Mistress is a beast, a porker, a cow, a hippo. Well no, not exactly. I am 5'5" and was 126 lbs at the time of my first Jenny weigh in. So why am I on Jenny? Well, I want to look HOTTER! Duh.
But seriously, I work out regularly but I eat like horse so I need help with portion control and basic nutrition. Anyways... this is my impression 7 days into the program.

1. The Jenny Craig "counselors" are big girls! Yes, like 200 lbs. In fact the lady who created my program felt the need to clarify how she had just given birth to twins and had fallen off the wagon. Slightly ominous.

2. The food is good but the portions are extremely small. Like, I had a tuna salad that came in a pre-packaged can that was the exact same size as the Fancy Feast my 8 lb cat eats. Also, its expensive. That alone is motivation to lose the weight and keep it off. I don't think I can afford to do this again.

3. From what I can tell it's low fat, lower carb, smaller portions and calorie counting.

4. It's working!!! I have lost 4 lbs in 7 days.

5. The experience is making me realize that I eat because I'm bored and I definitely don't need as much food as I previously thought.

Anyone else on the program? Thoughts???
