Is anyone a Jenny Craiger?

Today is my very first day ever on it! Im super hopeful!

I was the spokesperson for Jenny Craig at my station back in 1992. I lost quite a bit of weight with them
(mostly on my own because I had to report ON THE AIR every week) but as soon as my station lost them as a client they dropped me like a rock. I tried to keep up with the food but it was monumentally out of my price bracket.

My counselor told me in confidentiality that she was told to get the most money out of each client per meeting. I understand that as a sales ploy but I felt like being forced to buy things I didn't want. I lost a lot of respect for them after that.

I do understand that every business has to make money but they come on to you like they care about YOU which is a charade.

Sorry, I hope you do well with them and I'm sure every franchise is different, this was just my experience.

My sister did Jenny Craig a couple years ago. I know she lost weight with it but I am not sure how much. I also am not sure why she does not do it anymore. What she does now is go by the foodgroups basically (exp: 5-7 starches a day, 2 dairy a day and so on)

Good Luck

Good luck with this, I've never participated in this program.

I did Jenny Craig back in 1997 after my DD was born. I started in May and was completed finished by November. I lost 24 lbs in all (147 down to 123). It was expensive, but it really worked for me. Those weekly weigh-ins were very supportive and kept me on track.

I kept it off for a couple of years, but then we had some lifestyle changes (I quit work to stay home full time, and now live out of my van taking the kiddos to all of their functions) and I slowly put back on about 20 pounds the last few years.

I've recently lost 10 pounds doing Atkins. I still would like to do another 8, but am concentrating on my workouts, while still trying to maintain my carb intake.

Good Luck.

One other thing. I had lost most of the weight on JC during the first 2-3 months (the first few weeks are always awesome). I started Memorial Day weekend, and by the end of summer was completely on maintenance. September and October were maintenance months and then in November I quit going.

Hope that helps.
