Being on cycle and supporting wife on Jenny Craig.

[iron asylum]

I'm on cycle right now and should be getting ready to cut pretty quickly. My problem is this. It's hard to get my wife motivated on dieting but she has agreed to try Jenny Craig after seeing Valerie Bertinelli lose 40 pounds. She needs to be on a structured regiman and have someone other than me to check into with each week. What I'm wondering is if there could be any way I could do it with her to keep her on it and still be getting enough protien and calories to shed my BF but keep my Muscle up somewhat while beeing on the same plan with her. I don't need to do Jenny Craig other than wanting her to succeed and me be there doing the same meal plans at the same time for her so she stays on track. I usually go the route with my nutritionist but we can't both afford to be seeing him weekly.

no, you cannot do it.. the program should work well for her..

but it is very caloric deficient and you would lose a lot of muscle..

They couldn't add foods or me myself add protien to cover that deficientcy in calories?

Like i said I can do this on my own btu want to do it so I'm helping my wife by eating the same things and doing the same grocery shopping. As of now I can eat pretty much anything and it's going in the right areas. But I want to clean it up for her and support her.

if she wants you to do the diet - do it. just add in some shakes here and there.. protein powder, ground oats, egg whites, nuts, should be easy to supplement the diet with some foods.. IMHO.. its dieting-not rocket science..

why not just put her on a diet? she eats what you eat, but portions for her goals? either of you cook?

You can save tons of money following this advice and just do your own cooking and in smaller portions. Jenny food is real expensive

Not to bash jenny craig, but every woman I have seen doing their program does not loose weight! I heard one person loosing ounces. yes not lbs but oz's.
I say make your our diet for her and get her in the gym for AM cardio with you.
I have a feeling after a few weeks she will be less inclines to cheat or not go off. Just help her out for 3 weeks and then she should be fine doing her own thing since she will feel bad eating some cookies or w/e.
She will have more energy and a better attitude when she see shes doing very good. so keep her motivation up and give her a ton of recognition.
Tell your buddies or friends to say ' hey sharlene, have you lost weight? lookin good!'
skip jenny.

She needs someone to have to checkin with and weigh each week that will tell her she needs to do better or motivate her. If I end up doing it it could backfire and she could get pissed at me for telling her she didnt do well or wasnt trying hard enough. That's why we like the idea of her checking in each week with someone she will feel she has to impress. I want someone other than myself having to tell her to do better or giving her a pat on the back. the monmey isnt an issue in doing this. I just want her to stick with somthing and this is what she feels she would like to try is all. I can sneak in the extra calories while I'm at worki to keep my muscle and follow it with her at night while we are home.

my ex girlfriend hired a trainer because i refused to work out with her.. every workout ended up in either a fight or calling it in early so we can go home and bang.. she hired her own trainer, we stopped fighting...eventually stopped banging too.. lol.. double edged sword.

if you cook together, work out together, she keeps track of her weight, and your praise her i don't see how this ISN'T a good thing for your relationship.
