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 love Jenny Craig! I have had weight issues since I was a teen. Tried soooo many programs and JC is the ONLY one I actually had reached my goal weight. Lost 12 pounds last year and now I'm getting on board again. I'm gone 11 hours a day on workdays and it's so convenient. Going to try to use My fitness Pal with it.

I am back on Jenny Craig because it works for me. Two kids that need to gain weight, I end up making special meals for them with higher fat content and was eating tiny portions for me and ended up snacking on peanut butter sandwiches and cereal. This way I don't have to cook for me.
