Jenny Craig

[FOJMO]

I posted this on the Community Board and they told me about the WISH Board! Didn't even know this existed!

OK, I'm thinking it's now or never to get this weight off! I leave in 5 weeks for the
Disney Magic Western Caribbean cruise and I'm so uncomfortable. I figure if I start now,
I'll shed a few pounds before we go, take it easy during the cruise, and start right back
up when we return.

I'm trying to get away from thinking "oh, wait until AFTER the cruise", but then I may not
have the incentive I need to do it.

I went to Jenny Craig about 10 years ago and lost 50 lbs. I gained it back over the
years and then lost 65 lbs. about 1-1/2 yrs ago (but that was due to hospitalization for
pancreatitis and being fed by an IV for 4 months!!!). Needless to say, that's all back on
and climbing.

I think I remember that when I went to Jenny Craig before that after becoming a
"lifetime member" or something along that line, I was entitled to rejoin at any time for
just the cost of the food. Anybody know for sure?

Wish me luck!!!

It depends on the membership you purchased originally. When I joined in 1990 my membership entitled me to lifetime service. If you go back to the center you originally enrolled in, they should have your info - otherwise you may have to dig out that old membership card to prove lifetime service.

Good Luck to you on the plan! It is a good plan for losing weight without much preplanning. I just found it extremely difficult to keep the weight off with their plan (of course it didn't help that I've had 2 kids in the meantime either and couldn't justify making different meals for everyone each night - oh well)

My niece spent a lot of money on Jenny Craig and it worked short term but she didn't continue buying those special meals after she stopped paying for the program and she gained her weight back.

I think MackeyMouse was on the Jenny Craig program a couple of months ago. She might know the answer to your question.

She switched from Jenny Craig to low fat and while she didn't gain I don't think she lost. She's switched to Atkins now and I think she is seeing progress.

Send her a private message, FOJMO and ask her.
