Considering Jenny Craig..

It's pre-packaged meals so the "work" of counting your calories yourself is done for you so if you stick to it you will lose weight but in addition to it being 2-3x higher than your average monthly grocery bill, it's hard to transition to "normal-food" since portion control isn't a focus of this program. There is also a concern with the sodium levels and taste of the processed food involved.

Weight loss is 80% nutrition, 20% exercise. Although I wouldn’t tell you to stop the gym entirely b/c it’s good for your heart, put your energy at least for now into self-control and portion servings and become a self-expert at your own nutrition and as you slowly start losing the weight, then you’ll want to exercise more to lose it faster.

I JUST saw a news report that Jenny Craig was rated the best "diet" out of the major ones.

I would try this first for a while. Jenny Craig is a great program but this is free. Just give it your all and time, before you committ. Make new friends, eat better,healthier and exercise.... Feel free to add me

Jenny Craig can be awesome for weight loss. But there are a few cons. Obviously its quite pricey. But more importantly, it doesn't really teach you how to prepare and select healthy food. It doesn't give you recipes and such so that you can make the same types of meals on your own, It doesn't really teach helthy eating habits and skills. Sorry

Have you tried going to the gym with friends or family? THis is often a fun motivator for me

Hi. I can understand how the gym can get boring, this is why you shouldn't do the same thing every day, switch it up & set challenges. That really helped me.
I think Jenny Craig is a good idea in theory BUT once you stop eating those foods you're back to the way you ate before b/c nothing is pre-packaged the way those meals are. Changing you diet all together to make smarter choices will help you better in the long run. The celebrities that do the Jenny Craig diet are still on the diet even after the lost all the weight they wanted just to maintain it. I don't know about you but i would not wanna be on Jenny Craig for the rest of my life... lol. That stuff is expensive

Myfitnesspal does the same thing but for free. They teach you portion control and track what you eat. Everything is already packaged but very expensive. I tried it but then got hooked on this. Both will work though if followed correctly.

I dont have to worry about paying for program, my mom is going to pay for 1 month's worth b/c that's all i need. I'm just trying to get the last of the baby weight off from my first son. I wont be on the program for rest of my life.

So what, if you don't mind me asking, are you gonna do IF after the month is over and then a few weeks later you have the pounds back on? I can tel you that is more than likely gonna happen. This is why DIETS fail. People go back to their regular eating habits, they didn't change anything. So they put the pounds back on.
Not judging here, i just don't think it's worth your Mother's money if you can just LEARN how to eat better and drop the pounds in the process AND keep them off. No money wasted but things learned
