Anyone on Jenny Craig?

My sister tried it one time. She referrers to it as "a colossal waste of money".

I tried it several times. I didn't like how everyone was set to pretty much the same calorie levels regardless of their health issues. The last time I did it I went for a month and only lost 2 pounds and hundreds of dollars. It was a huge waste for me I and found that I can do better just counting my own calories and eating my own food. I have to admit I liked it at first for the convenience of it, but now I just prep my meals in advance and it works out.

Hi there! I'm currently on my 2nd week of Jenny. I also was on it for a couple of months in 2012 and had success.

I joined back up because I was desperate and had absolutely no willpower to control my eating most recently so I needed something to reign me in. So far the commitment thus far has helped---just knowing my meals are planned, there's not much guesswork, it helps keep me under control. In week 1 I had a 4.8lb loss.

I've had friends and family successfully lose weight on Jenny but everyone agrees that it's a good jumping off point to getting back into portion control and eating balanced. Pretty much everyone has done it for about 3 months at a time, which is also my plan.

It is super expensive. For me it's not so much the cost but factoring in that I also go out to eat on a weekly basis + the expense of all the additions needed like dairy+veggies+fruit+protein. But what can you do? I am on a 1700 cal plan, I see a consultant each week who weighs me and counsels...I've already made it very clear to them that I will customize my plans as I see fit: meaning I won't add on and pay for things I won't want like their shakes or soup additions etc, anything I don't like, I won't buy and will supplement with veg or fruit etc. I have also told them I am on my own plan of, I will get off of it as soon as I feel comfortable with my portion control/have some weight loss for energy/and when I have enough willpower to get back on Whole30.

oh, also, I'm single with no kids....so I'm sure if I had people to cook for this prob would not be feasible. However my cousin has 6yo twins, a husband, works and goes to school and she was successful for 3 months and I think lost about 20lbs so....it can be done

I started this plan last year in May. I am also single with no kids. So, it fits well. I lost the weight really quickly because I also was exercising a lot. So most of the weight was off by December. I am somewhat maintaining now and I am a bit underweight. So, I eat their lunches and dinners. I add lots of veggies, and I usually have a breakfast bar. I was diagnosed with a Vitamin D deficiency that made me very fatigued, sluggish, and starting to crave lots of foods. So for the past month, I was maintaining my weight, by eating at TDEE. However, when I started taking Vitamin D daily, my energy increased, and I have been slowly losing weight again for the past couple of weeks. So, I will need to up my calories. So, in effect, I am still on JC. Just on their maintenance plan. I have lifetime membership because I don't cook and I really love the food.

No sorry~ Only connection is I have is a friend name Jenny and a cousin named Jenny - lol. But would be happy to help motivate or support; especially coming from Staten Island, NY. I have family there

I have a girlfriend whose been doing it to lose weight for her wedding. Plus side she's lost 50lbs. Not so positive she is miserable and will be discontinuing immediately after her wedding (and presumably will regain if she doesn't formulate a new game plan). It's a Band-Aid solution

I don't get it. The only downside is it's pricey. You can still go out here and there even.
