    I've been with the Jenny Craig program for about three months now and it's going pretty well. I like that it's easy. It's just that it's a little bit too much of processed food and artificial sweeteners. I cannot stand the chocolate cheesecake and I'm not a fan of the dried stuff that doesn't have to put in the fridge like the wedding soup and the tortilla soup. Those are making disgusted noise. But other than those items, the rest is all pretty good. I'm at my goal weight so I'll be transitioning over to whatever happens after that. Also, their people were all very helpful, friendly, and go out of their way. Overall, a pretty worthwhile endeavor.

    Jenny Craig is an amazing program. I did it a few years back and it really worked for me so I decided to join again. The program is extremely easy to follow and everyone's really supportive. The meals are amazing too. So it's hard not to lose weight on this diet. In fact, I've lost over 20 pounds now. So I'm really happy. Going in every week and weighing in is also extremely motivational. I love the counselors there. I worked with one woman a few years back and I would almost feel nervous to go in if I had a bad week. But I work with a couple of different women now and they are not like that at all. They're very supportive and really sweet. They would encourage me to keep going if I've had a bad week.

    The only problem that I've had recently is that they're out of some foods. They weren't really sure if they were getting rid of the foods or if it was just a backorder kind of thing. The quesadillas is my absolute favorite and that's the one that they're out of. But everything else has been really great. I'm also a big pasta fan so the chicken carbonara, the chicken fettuccine and the ravioli are all amazing. In fact, there were foods that I missed whenever I wasn't on the diet anymore.

    A friend of mine’s roommate was going through Jenny Craig and lost some weight and had a good experience so I thought I'd try it. I also didn’t wanna cook and I didn’t wanna go to the grocery store to shop. My counselor is absolutely charming and very nice. She does not shame or guilt you. She couldn’t be more positive and I like that. I respond well to a positive attitude that, "You can do it, you're making progress." I go in for my weekly meetings in order to get the weekly groceries and I am motivated because I'm losing weight. I don’t need my counselor to be a RA-RA. If I have a problem like how to handle when I need to eat out or if its gonna work if I did it this way, she’ll give me feedback.

    I'm in the 19th week and the menu plan has been good. I have a congestive heart failure so I have to be careful about my sodium intake. I have a cut-off of about 500 milligrams of sodium in a dish so my counselor gives me a substitute for anything that's gotten more sodium. She looks on her list to see what are suitable substitutes. The macaroni and cheese is one of my favorites even though that’s the only one that’s over 500 milligrams of sodium. I've been dieting all my life and I have not had macaroni and cheese in 25 years so it's really delightful to finally have it again. The lemon cake for dessert is very good for that category. The only thing that I don’t like as far as flavor is concerned is the peanut butter cookies. Somehow, they don’t taste like peanut butter to me.

    The quality of food seems like the same quality as if I go to the grocery store and get some frozen dinner. The main thing about Jenny Craig for me is portion control. I would recommend it to others although it kinda depends on how serious they are about losing weight. But this is how I've done it. I've lost 23 pounds so that’s my success.

    I was caring for my father and I was making him meals every day. After he passed, I got tired of cooking. I needed to lose weight and I didn’t wanna prepare any meals anymore. I knew Jenny Craig was a “pop in the microwave”. My personal consultant was very friendly, professional and excellent. Then the quality of the food is average to a little bit above. I love the cheesy chicken with mashed potatoes, fish and chips, cheesy cheesesteak, chicken marsala, and the three cheese macaroni with carrots and broccoli. We like the dessert but we don’t like the tortilla chips and the ranch snaps although I understand they gotta give somebody something that they would buy on the outside. I’m on 1,200 calorie plan but the meals are so small. I wish it has bigger portions. I also think the prices need to come down. They’re pretty expensive. My husband’s on it as well so I get two of everything.

    I've been with the program since January and I’ve only lost about 15 pounds. I’d like to get to at least 25. The weekly visit is taking me a little bit longer to lose weight because I take medication as what I went through with my dad. I’m also gonna be 70 next month and my metabolism is very slow that's why I work out so much. I am a gym junkie and so a lot of time, what I would lose, I gain in muscle. I also have an active social life and the summer is hard. We just came back from Phoenix and we’re going to my granddaughter’s bat mitzvah. Then in July, we’re going to Canada so it’s gonna be a tough road. However, losing a pound a week is still good. I’m in it for the long haul so as long as it takes.

    Jenny Craig came to me as a recommendation and I've been using it for over a year now. My first interactions with them were very good and my weekly visits were fine as well. I had Myra as my consultant up until last week, but she transferred to Las Vegas. She was very easy to talk to, which is very important. I also enjoy all of their food, especially the macaroni and cheese. I do well when I stay on the diet, but when I cheat, I'm back there.

    I liked the reputation that Jenny Craig had when I started researching different companies online. I've been with them since November of 2018 and their people have been very positive and natural. They've always been thinking about the next steps forward, and always being able to plan as well as check in on me to make sure that I’m still happy with everything that I’m doing on Jenny Craig. I've had a good life change in general.

    The menu plan is very easy and useful to use. It’s nice to not have to worry about figuring out what I wanna eat for the week because I have a set plan to follow which makes working with it rather than having to work around it. Also, the meals have all been of very good quality and I’ve never had an issue with one before. My favorite is the lasagna.

    I’m fully getting off of Jenny Craig. It’s costing me way too much and I’m not seeing results. I’ve been doing the twelve-hundred and fifteen-hundred-calorie menus and I followed the menu to a tee. I’ve also been exercising but the more I exercise, the less I drop in weight. I’m only at 20 lbs in 5 months. The meals are good though, and my favorite meal is the cheeseburger. The program just hasn’t worked for me. My consultant has been great as well. But she’s on mat leave now and I don’t even know who my new consultant is. I haven’t heard from anybody and I haven’t done the weekly visits for the last two weeks.

    The program from Jenny Craig has worked well for me and my wife. We don’t cook so having Jenny Craig food as our grocery shopping for the week works for us. I have been using the program for three years and so far, the food has been good. The main meals are improving but I am not quite happy with the evolution of the Anytime bars. Nevertheless, my experience with them has been good and I've lost a lot of weight.

    I've had prior success with Jenny Craig back in the 80s and they worked. I lost some weight and I gained it back slowly and then I gained a lot more after that, so it was time to put on the brakes. I've gone back to them, and I'm prepared for success. I went in with a positive attitude, and I was actually looking forward to it. We have a bit more to lose this time, but it is happening the way we anticipated. We're into our third year now and we've been through multiple consultants who have all been great.

    Jenny Craig is a much more tightly controlled program nowadays and so we have a unique scenario. When we started 30 years ago, there was a little bit more leeway in terms of how we wanted to approach it. We wanted to have a little bit more individualized control over our menus rather than dealing with the menus that Jenny Craig laid forth for us. That's made it a little bit different and in some ways, we're aware of the fact that we probably could have lost more weight faster had we gone to the directed ways, but there was some dietary limitations with us and so it works out better this way. Fortunately, they've got no problem with allowing us to continue the individualized menus even though the program has changed for other consumers.

    The quality of food has always been good. They have a couple of different styles of packaging and there's one specific style where sometimes the top plastic will tend to pop before the box is opened. So, we've had a couple of instances where some packaging was breached. But that never caused a loss of freshness or the contamination of food, so we're consistently happy. Also, when one eats the same relatively limited menu over and over for years, they think they'd get sick of it. It reminds us of the old Gary Larson's Far Side cartoon where a dog is getting fed, and he says, "Oh boy, dog food again." It's the same thing he has all the time, but it tastes good every time he has it. So, as a matter of fact, we were surprised because we both tend to enjoy the Jenny Craig food each time.

    I signed up for the diet plan last week and was rushed out of the center in 30 minutes. I received an email congratulating me on completing my first week yesterday when I only started yesterday. Not to mention scheduling an appointment and being told it was double booked and then the agent rescheduled it to a different day without notifying me.

    Drove to another center the next day after booking yet another appointment and because the other center rescheduled that appointment they did not meet with me. Finally booked a 3rd appointment and called to confirm and then the center called me later that evening to confirm again. If I was not a motivated person I would never use Jenny Craig based on their customer service but just need a kick start. Been on the diet for 2 days so early to provide feedback on any results.

    Everything has been great with Jenny Craig. The meals are fine and I haven’t been tired of them yet. The program is simple and everything is laid out for you. I’ve also had family members that went with Jenny Craig. However, Jenny Craig made some changes that our local facility was staffed, which was a bit weird and didn’t seem like there was any rhyme or reason to it. They staffed with the same counselor, but the counselor that they added just left and didn’t give any notice and quit with a text.

    Seeing the commercials on TV, I went for the Jenny Craig weight loss program and I've been using it for about three months.now. I’ve had to change some things with the food, but it’s good, and my experience with my consultant has been good as well. She’s good in trying to please me, checking to see if I like the food, telling me about the new foods and seeing if I have a weight loss. I’ve lost about 20 pounds, which is good considering my age because it’s harder to lose weight when you're not as mobile.

    The only thing is, you have to buy your own fruits and vegetables so it runs into quite bit of money per week. And while some of the meals that I've purchased from them were good, some were bad so we’ve switched to the ones I like. It's just that I want to be able to eat the meals that I want to eat and still get the same discount that I’m getting with the meals they choose for me to eat. They use a lot of peppers, like southwestern, and not as much downhome cooking as other kinds of meals, which I’d rather have. Other than that, I like my coaching advisor, and we’re about to get the meals straightened out like I like them. It’s a good experience overall.

    I was looking for something that would teach me portion control and help me diet with ease. I considered Weight Watchers but the point system was a little complicated for me. I also considered Nutrisystem but I didn't like the idea that all their food was shelf ready. I preferred something that had frozen meals so they're more nutritious. I'm diabetic so I was looking for something where I didn’t have to spend all of my time thinking about what to eat, how much to eat, and what the combinations are. After doing my research, I found Jenny Craig was the best match for me.

    The reps at Jenny Craig were warm and considerate. I set the arrangements up over the telephone and when I went in for my first meeting, my consultant who was also diabetic, was empathetic with what I was going through. Having a personal consultant made a huge difference. I have somebody readily available to answer my questions. Better even, I have a support system. If I wasn’t having a great week, she helped me through that, or if I hadn’t made the right substitute of food because of my schedule, she helped me through that. She’s so knowledgeable that it made all the difference in the world for me.

    There was one meal, one of the new ones that came along that I didn't like. It wasn't the ranchero skillet, but it was one like that. But other than that, I’ve been able to eat the food well. Most of it, I like a lot. And even that which I don’t like a lot, it’s not unbearable. I love the reduced sodium and I can tell the difference. My joints felt a little stiffer. So, it really trained me to be able to make wise choices independent of the diet too. The three big things for me with Jenny Craig is that it's easy yet nutritious, that the portion sizes train you in how much you should be eating, and helps in resetting your hunger system.

    Lastly, their consultants are crucial too. They have somebody there in your corner who can help you with your highs and lows, and who are informed. So far, I’ve lost 13 inches and 22.5 pounds, and I feel better. I feel that I'm back on my physical regimen, like walking and riding a road bike. I am out of town for the last two weeks because of the death of a friend, so I haven’t been there. But before I left, the people at Jenny Craig made me aware of what I should eat and how I should handle everything since I wouldn’t be able to use their food. And that was an encouragement too because I felt okay. I’m already developing a lifestyle that’s helping me do this on my own.

    We love Wendy, our personal consultant from Jenny Craig. She is always friendly and asks about our personal life, which is good. I am glad that she is more personable and she remembers everything that we are going through or our children. Now that I’ve met my goal, I go every other week. She always accommodates me. She knows I am always in a hurry and busy with the kids. Also, if I have to reschedule, she always gets me up all the time that I request and holds my food. She is always overdoing anything I ask and I feel like I am always taking advantage. Wendy is a great consultant to my husband and myself. My husband met his goal way before me. Everything was great.

    We started with the program in October and my husband met his goal within three months. I met mine a month ago, but I am still trying to lose more. I have so many favorites with the menu. There are some that I don’t like. There is one where it is a meal, but you don’t refrigerate it, and I thought it was kinda strange. Also I’ve never had the enchilada. I was curious to see what it was like, but they never have it.

    I always stick to the same things, so I like a set menu. The funny thing is Wendy is trying to get me off of a certain menu, and that is what I like about her. I was not happy with certain weeks and she knew it. She said, “Well, let’s just change things around.” I love how Wendy recommends and suggests, but I get what I like to eat. She was able to get me to do a menu that I liked or picked. I am able to do that now that I’ve met my goal and eat my repetitive foods.

    I have my favorites - my pot pies and my meatloaf. We also love the lava cake dessert and we are obsessed. My husband still eats it. Sometimes, my son eats the food. We enjoy everything -- breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Everything was delicious. I love the variety and the flavors of the food. There is nothing bland at all. We even have friends that are on the Jenny Craig program now because they’ve noticed the difference in us and they can’t believe it. I highly recommend Jenny Craig.

    I have been on several diets and I have recommended Jenny Craig to other people. I discovered them in the '90s and when I found a Jenny Craig office here, I got into their program. Back then, I lost 51 pounds. After that, I went to Ideal Protein and I also lost weight. But then, a couple of years ago, I started gaining weight. I didn't want to do Ideal Protein again because I liked Jenny Craig's food. I like 99% of what they offer and 99% of the time, I get a good shipment. Also, the plan is good and the quality of the food is better than Nutrisystem's. So then went with them again.

    I started at a place here in Amarillo but then that was closed down. I then started getting my things through UPS. Also, I do conference calls where someone from Jenny Craig and I would talk about the diet and get my next order ready. The lady that I started with had a problem and was on leave and I got somebody else. I even had a guy talk to me one time. All the people I have talked to have been really helpful in getting me through the program and I have lost 25 pounds. However, I need to step out of the program every once in a while or I'd really go nuts. Outside of the program, I have gained a pound and a half and it ticked me off.

    My friend had done Jenny Craig a couple of years back and I looked it up because I've been looking at a lot of programs. I'm 53, so I've been having a lot of troubles with weight loss. I did a few things, but nothing is working. I liked Jenny Craig because it was only food. There are no drugs or any potions and lotions. The only thing that puts me off was the money. It is expensive and that is the only thing that a lot of people say, but I was desperate because my daughter is getting married next month and I had to lose weight. I joined Jenny Craig and it worked well for me, so I am happy. Although the food is frozen, it is still healthy food. I also like that they didn't deprive me of anything. There were some sweets and sometimes, there were carbs. It was very balanced.

    On the first day I went to Jenny Craig, there were two ladies at the branch and location and they were really helpful. The thing that struck me was that most people try and push you up the program and force you to join, but they didn't. They just stated the facts and also showed us the history of it and what exactly it entailed. They were very honest about everything, like the cost and the whole thing. They didn't hide anything. Sometimes, you join something, then you realize, after a while, that you are stuck with it. But Jenny Craig was very honest and open, and I like that. It gave me more confidence.

    My personal consultant was very good and she gave me a lot of confidence. I could talk to her and she supported me throughout and really made me feel that I could do it. The weekly visits were awesome. It wasn't scary because I had done a program before and I would be all stressed out waiting to stand on the scale. With Jenny Craig, I didn't have that fear and it was very comfortable. It was only one week where I didn't lose anything, but my consultant was very encouraging and I had a very easy time. I just lost 20 pounds. I had initially set a goal of 20 pounds because I didn't wanna lose too much for the wedding, but I said I would come back. I can go back and lose 10 more pounds after. If I had followed more strictly, I would've reached this fast. I can eat out and I can still keep up, which was nice because it gives you a perspective of how much you can eat.

    I like the food. It was tasty. I'm Indian and I like spices and I thought I would miss my food. I just eat a little at home, a spoonful here and there. The food is more Italian and now they introduced a lot of chicken food. There is no Indian food but the pasta and the turkey burger is really nice. I don't like a lot of the bread, but the breakfast was nice. All the desserts and snacks were good. I liked them, although it was done in a little less salt and pepper. I would add more pepper because I'm not the picky one.

    What I do when preparing salad is put all the veggies in a bowl and I snack on it at work. I don't use dressing on it. Hopefully, it will be easy. The only disadvantage is the price and that would be the only way people kept away. It is a good program, nonetheless. I have a whole closet full of clothes that I can wear now. I have thyroid, too, so I couldn't lose weight without help, but I was really surprised that this program works so well.

    I signed up for a membership online. The next morning I was texted by a rep who then called me. Both sound professional. The “consultant” asked a few questions. “How many pounds do you want to lose? What is your motivation? What is your goal that you want to accomplish?” After answering each, she said she thinks this is a prank call and immediately hung up. I texted the rep who contacted me initially, several times and received no response. I contacted telephone support and was told a manager would get back to me in 24-48 hours. Later in the day I called to cancel the program. I was asked if I wanted to discuss with a manager and was placed on hold for a while. She later said a manager would call back. I find this organization strange. Why would they have a rep hang up on a new customer and not want to rectify it?

    I wanted something prepared and I didn’t wanna have to count per instance and think about it. I’ve used Jenny Craig for a solid six months. The people at Jenny Craig were accommodating and super motivating and they gave a lot of education during my first interaction with them. As far as the weekly visits with the consultants, they really kept me on track and they helped me to think about transitioning off it, not only staying. I lost 30 pounds and I kept it off over a year. The food was good and if I didn’t like something, I could swap it out. They also gave me recipes that I could do on my own if I didn’t wanna use the food when I am transitioning off. The quality of the meals was great. I didn't like chili, but I liked everything else. My favorite was the Alfredo with some cheese.

    Jenny Craig was worth the money and the time. The goal was not to keep me on their food the whole time. They had to push me to get off the planned meals and do it myself, which is good. They transitioned me off so that when I am not eating their food, it is not like I am gaining it all back. I just have to keep a consistent diet. I was happy with my experience with Jenny Craig and I tell everybody to do it.

    I love Jenny Craig; I was one of the original members. Having been on Jenny Craig for a long time; I was very successful on the program. As time has passed, so many of my favorite foods have been eliminated. Such delicious meals as sesame chicken, the chicken fajita was not only a favorite of mine but many of your clients, the chicken salad now has cranberries which I am allergic to. The bottom line is that so many of the foods are spicy; and many people cannot eat that spicy food. When I first started on Jenny Craig; there were frozen meals that had a piece of steak, chicken, etc. It was plain. I know that plans change, but by having so many meals that have a spicy taste to it; it eliminates many people who would want very much to be on your plan. Thanks for listening.

    I knew I needed to lose weight but I had no idea how to do it. My wife was starting Jenny Craig then and so I thought I'd go with her. I had no idea what I was doing as I'd never done anything like that before nor watched what I ate but I enjoyed the experience. The meals that Jenny Craig had, for the most part, were good taste-wise. There were a couple of things that I didn’t care for, but that goes with everything. When I first started, I thought the servings were quite small, but back then I was used to eating whatever I wanted as much as I wanted.

    The ladies I dealt with were very knowledgeable informative, and encouraging, and my adviser was very upbeat. Doing the program takes discipline and dedication, just like with anything, and with their encouragement during my weekly meetings, it was easy to stay focused and get the program done. Also, I'm cheap and Jenny Craig is expensive so I wanted to be done with the program as fast as I could. I stayed dedicated to the meal plans and took on lots of activities to lose weight faster.

    I started in August two years ago and I did my final weigh-in in February. I was at 248 when I started and my goal was 190, and I lost 60 pounds. My lower back was such a mess before and since losing all the weight and being this active, that pain has been relieved. Jenny Craig helping me change my mindset was also a big thing that happened. Now that I have reached my goal and I'm not tied to Jenny Craig anymore, I'm still watching my calories and staying active. Overall, my experience was fantastic. Their program worked great for me. It did what I needed and wanted it to do. I would recommend them to anybody, and I already have to several people.

    I used Jenny Craig for six months and then, I stopped. I was travelling and I tried to do it on my own but I liked the ease of using Jenny Craig. They do everything for you in terms of food prep and they also tell you how to eat the food because it goes in line with your body’s rhythm. The weight loss consultant that I worked with was always very friendly, warm and very supportive. I financed, they weighed me, talked to me about the program and we went from there. You go in weekly and get weighed to see how you’re progressing. Then, you sit down with your consultant and go over the menu for the next week. If there’s something you don’t like, she trays it out and you take all your food home.

    The meal plan has breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. Then, you supplement it with extra vegetables, dairy and fruit. For breakfast, I have a piece of fruit and dairy but I love my skinny lattes. I didn't want to give up my Starbucks, so the consultant found a way that I was able to work it in. She was great. I didn’t think I would like some of the food but I ended up loving it. I like French toast and I love pizza but you get used to portioning it. Also, the desserts were fabulous. The food was high-quality and the only thing that is hard is if you are going out to eat and you can't take your Jenny food with you. So, you have to make decisions and start thinking about what you can have. The consultant was good about helping me figure that out.

    I did Jenny Craig back in 2008 after I had my first daughter. It was the only meal plan that helped me to lose weight and keep it off! I recently signed up again. I was sooo excited because I know the program works. It’s also very convenient for me because I’m a single mom on the go, a nurse, and I work 2 jobs. I really don’t have time to meal prep. I want to lose about 15 more lbs. So I placed my first order, received my food, put it away... and as I started the program, I noticed a lot of the meals were missing! There were no substitutes sent... Therefore, I had to supplement one thing for another and it resulted in me not even having enough food for two weeks and I wasn’t able to follow the program as directed.

    I signed up for the Rapid results. Needless to say, I did not lose even close to that number. I let customer service know... they said they’d just credit my account, and left it at that. They didn’t offer to send me the food right away, they didn’t offer any sort of discount or anything. So I placed my order for the next 2 weeks. This time, I said please no fish/tuna. Well, not only did it take a couple of weeks for them to even get in touch with me so I can place my order (I have a very busy schedule which I made them aware of from the beginning). But when I finally spoke with someone, they had no idea what was going on. Seemed lost. They took my credit card information, charged me for shipping which I wasn’t supposed to be charged for, no one even followed up... and when I received my order, they sent me the fish and the tuna! And I also still had items missing!!

    I’m so frustrated! It’s been a horrible experience this time around! I left messages for customer service, and I even emailed the team lead. She emailed me back saying, "Contact customer service about this issue." That was it! Didn’t care! Although in the beginning when I first signed up, I got an email from a counselor, and also one from the team lead introducing herself and saying in her email... "I’d you need anything, please reach out and I will help you." HA! Yea... telling me to contact customer service isn’t HELPING! That’s called “passing the buck!!” I’m so disappointed, and so disgusted with the way customer service treated me.

    The food is so expensive!!! You would think they’d have top-notch customer service. They used to!!! Years ago! Regardless, I feel like I should be reimbursed for the month of food I paid for... along with a free month of food (since I was missing most meals in each delivery) so I can actually follow the rapid results program!!! Some sort of restitution for the inconvenience and horrible customer service I received! So although the food is great and the program works, at this point, I would NOT recommend it due to the horrible communication and customer service. I don’t have that much time on my hands to be chasing them and playing phone tag because THEY messed up on my order... TWICE! I’m a busy person! I really don’t even have the extra time to write this review but I figured maybe it’d help someone else! Good luck to everyone!

    I was on the Jenny Craig program back in 2004. And because I knew it would work again, I went back with them. My personal consultants are very encouraging and motivating. They are also very knowledgeable and they offer tips to help keep me motivated. And the weekly visits help keep me accountable because when I'm going in, I know that I'm going to weigh in and there are times when I may have maintained my weight or gone up a pound or two. It's critical to keep me on track so the visits have been helpful. I've been in the program for over a year now and I'm almost at my goal. So it's even more critical.

    When I was in the program before, I didn't have a set goal. I was just happy and satisfied with the weight loss and I just dropped off. This time, I'm focused to get to my goal because I have a tendency to get close and not get all the way. So far, I like most of the food selections. They're fine. While there are a couple of things that I don't prefer, I'm glad that we're able to substitute. The meal plan is redundant at this point but I add little things of my own to make it interesting while still staying within the plan. People have asked me because they see the weight loss and I've shared with them my experiences with Jenny Craig. They have a great program and it works with me because I don't have to think about what I'm going to cook. The meals are there. And it works for my family because there's just me and my husband.

    I was a long-time Weight Watchers customer but I didn't feel like I wanted to do that again. So I tried Jenny briefly one time. I I felt like I would get good results but the cost was prohibitive. In this last time that I went on the program though, I felt like it was time to do something. My husband was also on board with it and spending the money. And when you're going to put out that much money, it's a motivation to stay on track. I went on it from September of 2017 through late February of 2018, and I lost about 25 pounds, which was my goal. Since then, I have kept the maintenance thing. I haven't stopped but we had a horrible winter so I haven't done a lot of anything out of town. That shows up on the scale too so I need to get back on the program. I wish the location wasn't so far from where I live but I understand that because I'm in a very small town. It wouldn't be practical to have a Jenny Craig here.

    Nonetheless, I've found it to be a very good experience all the way around. Your whole sense of well-being changes when you do set a goal and meet it. You have the feeling of success and that you look and feel the way that you want to. For a lot of us, your whole sense of happiness and well-being kinda revolve around those things. Maybe it shouldn't. But I can kinda tell that when I've gained weight, my whole personality becomes dimmed somehow.

    I have had very good interactions with my personal consultant. Ana is someone that I primarily worked with and before her, there was one who left the location in Carson and went to Cedar Rapids. She was excellent too. They were very supportive and they really helped with getting me through it. The quality of the food was all very good too. It was tasty and well-balanced. It's not like one of the fad diets where you're going to eliminate one particular segment of food. At Jenny Craig, I didn't give up anything and once people have reached a goal, they are allowed to revert to eating the way they used to. Jenny Craig tries to instill healthy eating habit and yet they recognize that we all want a piece of that little cheesecake that they offer. It's so delicious. I also love their shakes. Those are absolutely delicious. I actually was a yogurt-eater and that's what I do now. I don't use the shakes but I have yogurt everyday.

    It's a positive in that everything that you eat is based on the core of Jenny products. Anything else is typically a piece of fruit or something that isn't very much. For people who have a family, that's probably the difficult part because they have to prepare food for other people in their family. So there are expenses on top of what they spend for their family anyway. That's the only negative thing – the price. Not everybody has the means to be able to afford to do it. I didn't qualify for any of their promotions either. Since I had done it the one time before, I didn't really qualify for anything when I came and did it at this last time. On the other hand, they were able to a small amount off what they were sending.

    There was a Jenny Craig right by my house so I knew I could talk to someone about it. The first time I went in, I inquired more information about it and it was not within my budget or timeframe so I had to skip out of it. But months later, I went back because I was considering in the back of my mind when I was ready for that type of diet. I was not a big fan of the meal plans so I ended up having to get a custom plan because that's the one thing I did not like.

    At first my visits were good, but since my schedule started getting busy and busier especially with travel and work, it became hard for me to come in and especially stick to a diet. I had to stop it because I wasn't seeing much progress anymore and it wasn't going anywhere.

But I wish they did not change the personnel that often. There were about three or four sessions and I really liked this person who was attending and she switched. When they switch the people so much, you don't feel the momentum. For motivation, it would be better to keep the same person.

    I was with Jenny Craig for 10 months (February 2018 to December 2018). The main rep that I started dealing with was very nice and sweet but she was way too young for me. Then, one day, when I came in, she wasn't going to be my consultant anymore. She could have told me she wasn't gonna be there that day because that came as a shock. I hadn’t met any of the other ones back then so I felt that there wasn't very good communication. This kind of instance happened again and so it gave me a bad taste for the consultant part of the program. But then I liked a couple of other consultants better.

    Then, one of the reasons I got into Jenny Craig was their food. In what I have read online, it sounded like it was real food, not some kind of fake stuff, and good quality. I really liked being able to pick up a whole week’s worth of food in a bag as I didn't have to plan and I found it easy to stick to but upon getting the meals, they weren't as great as I thought they would be. They had way too many additives. Everything has soy and cheese in them, and I’m sensitive to both. I literally gutted it out for almost a year but at one point I couldn't stomach the food so I started picking and choosing more different meals. I lost 24 pounds, but it kinda stopped at about 18 pounds. It was really hard after that. I also had to get the food out of my system.

My first interaction with Jenny Craig went very well and it was very good with my personal consultant. I set a goal and I was very serious in reaching it. I was there every week and they were very accommodating and flexible in scheduling me. I've been using them for five months and since using their program, I reached my goal within four months. Then I saw them and talked about the maintenance program. The menu plan is good, but I come from the Middle East and we use so many herbs, spices and vegetables that I couldn’t find there. After a while, I started using all the measurements that they give out for 1,500 calories and making my own food. I would recommend Jenny Craig. If people are serious about reaching their goals, it's a good plan and it works.

    I was on JC for over a year, with great weight loss, but BIG downfall. My liver test went sky high, stopped JC and went back to normal. Read a warning that if you eat JC over 3 months your Liver Enzymes is so affected. They definitely need to let people know about this, this is a serious health issue.

    I was at a point where I needed to do something, but with working and children I did not have enough time to do meal prep. It had not worked before. So, I gave the Jenny Craig weight-loss program a shot. I started on the program in February 2018 and I'm still currently on it. The first time I met with my personal consultant, it was wonderful. We did once a week visits. Everyone that I have come in contact with at Jenny Craig has been phenomenal. I lost all the weight that I wanted in December and now I'm just doing maintenance. I'm on the maintenance menu plan, so I select what I want and purchase those meals. The quality of the meals that I purchased is really good.

    I have been working with Jenny Craig for 14 months. At first, I conversed on the computer with somebody and then, she gave me the broker number and I called. The personal consultant I've been working with is the best. She is not only a consultant but a friend. So far, my goals have been met. I went by step by step. I didn't make a big goal. And I love the meals. I love the turkey and mashed potatoes. I love the enchilada bowl. I love the bars, the cereal, and the scrambled egg for my breakfast.

    Someone asked me how can I eat those stuff. I told that person that if you tried it, you'd see that it's good. Although there are some things that I don't eat, like pork, everything else has been great. My husband loves the program for me and we both tell everybody that Jenny Craig is the best.

Dealing with my personal consultant has been excellent and I’ve lost 65 pounds. I couldn't have done it without her. I’ve been using Jenny Craig for two years and when I started, I went through each of the weeks that were assigned. Then, once I had gone through everything a couple of times, even when I was close to goal, my consultant let me just pick what I wanted. I liked the quesadillas, but they don't have it anymore.

    A friend of mine referred Jenny Craig to me. At the Jenny Craig here, you usually meet with the managerial staff first. I really liked that their staff had lost some weight years ago. She was a success story herself. When I did Jenny Craig in the '90s, they had this little blonde girl as a consultant who never had a weight issue. But the fact that Jenny Craig has real people who have succeeded on the program themselves, that's relatable and I like that a lot.

    As someone who has dieted my whole life and has a weight struggle on and off my whole adult life, this has been the easiest weight loss plan I’ve ever done by far. It’s almost like weight loss for dummies. I was a big fan of Weight Watchers and I lost a bunch of weight years ago with them. But with Jenny Craig, I like the fact they are more structured. They also have the food available and you don't have to do any thinking. I really like the food a lot. You’re eating things that you like as opposed to kale and grilled fish. They've gotten better too since the early '90s.

    Also, your investment makes you more accountable. When you’re spending money, it makes you do better. I was like the poster child for Jenny Craig last year. I hit my goals and at one point, I was at 70 pounds in about 9 months so I had a lot of success. I’ve been keeping the weight off too. I’ve actually had several people join Jenny Craig as a result of my success. They’re just great here and they check in on you.

    My experience with Jenny Craig has been great. My doctor made a comment that she didn’t wanna keep writing prescriptions if I wasn’t gonna do something about my weight. That was hard to hear, so I called Jenny Craig. Because of health reasons, I needed good dietary food so I asked if their food was real, which was the main thing that made me go with them. I checked with another company and theirs was not. Jenny Craig's food is great. I absolutely love the chicken and rice or the turkey and rice. I detest the squash and I don’t know what went with it. And I couldn't do some of the pasta dishes. I like pasta but that could be improved.

    I lost about two pounds a week and I wasn’t expecting to lose weight as quickly as I did. Within the first couple of months, my doctor noticed immediately and asked how I was losing weight. I said that it was Jenny Craig. She said to keep it up. My doctor told me to lose 50 pounds and I thought that was crazy. Being able to walk was gonna be difficult if I didn’t lose 50 pounds and I didn’t think I could do it. However, within six to eight months, I ended up losing 60 pounds.

    I hate cooking. I know lots of my friends in the meal prep programs right now are trendier. But I am not gonna spend my whole Sunday cooking. So I wanted something already done for me. When I researched the most mainstream ones, like Jenny Craig, Nutrisystem and South Beach, Jenny Craig was the most recommended by reputable institutions. I didn't like my first in-center experience though. She didn't explain things super well but I knew I wanted to do the program so I did it. Then I called the center director and asked for a different consultant the next time I went in. They obliged and the second consultant was wonderful. I really liked her. She was older. I kind of wanted someone in their 30's or 40's, and she was super nice. She definitely helps me. I've also felt more accountable doing the weekly visits. It wasn't always the most convenient thing but it was nice to go in. I felt a little bit more held to task.

    My first round was four months, January through April of 2018, and I lost 18 pounds. Then this round has been three months. I do the pre-fixed meal plan partially because it's cheaper. The preset menu includes breakfast, lunch, dinner and nighttime snack. You also get a granola bar in the middle of the day. You have fruit twice a day and you have veggie twice a day. There are some foods that I love and some foods that I hate but I don't have to think about it. They give me a printed menu. I stick it up on my pantry door and label the day of the week at the top of it. Then in the morning, I look and I know exactly what to pull out of my freezer when.

    The food is not the best. It's not eating at a five-star restaurant every night. But it is not horrible. My favorite one is the cheeseburger. It is not the best cheeseburger I've ever eaten but I love it. Then for dinner, I love the mac and cheese. It's really good. It comes with broccoli and carrots, and I add extra broccoli. I also like the chicken, cheese and mashed potato. It tastes very much like comfort food. I put it over mashed cauliflower as my vegetable so it feels like I had more mashed potatoes. I have to get creative and follow the boards and the Pinterest pages but it's definitely easy to adjust to make it more filling than Nutrisystem or South Beach. That was one of the reasons why I chose Jenny Craig. There were more blogs that had already redone Jenny food to make it different.

    The only thing that I would prefer is if you can either have the sweet snack option or a savory snack option. I would prefer to have a sweet snack every day rather than the popcorn or the ranch snacks. After dinner, if I'm trying not to have a glass of wine, it's easier if I know I get a sweet. But if I luck out and get corn chips, I want my wine.

    Jenny Craig is not a miracle fix and it's not always the best thing. Sometimes you'll go get a piece of pizza and on Jenny Craig, you cannot eat out. Well, you can but it's not recommended. But Jenny Craig is easy and I would recommend to friends. My experience has been positive and besides, Jenny Craig has two different kinds of pizzas, a margherita and a pepperoni, and they're not bad.

    I joined Jenny Craig last year in an attempt to lose weight. The first several months were fabulous, with great results. I unfortunately reached a point where I could no longer afford a full plan menu, so I reduced the amount of food I was buying and supplemented in ways that the Jenny program taught me. The company asked me to sign a form stating that I was doing this, which I did.

    However money continued to get tight, and I reached a point that I couldn't afford ANY Jenny food, but figured that I'd continue to see my consultant for encouragement. At this point I was notified by a regional manager that if I wasn't purchasing food, I'd have to reduce my in office appointments to about once per month, despite paying for a 2-year membership.

    I understand that the company makes money off of the food that they sell, but if they can't even afford 15 minutes for me each week to try and encourage me, what's the point of even trying to stay on the program? I'm not asking for hours of time each week - just someone to weigh me in and hold me accountable, even if I'm not buying the products. Even when I can't afford the food, I wish I could rely on the company to encourage me, but clearly that membership fee is just a glorified Costco membership giving me the ability to buy food.

    I decided to enroll with Jenny Craig because of my insurance company. They offered a discount and they said that it was one of the only weight loss programs that was proven to be effective. The very first time I went on Jenny Craig, I signed up and then the rep compared my discount from the insurance company to any specials that they had. Then I signed up with someone to talk to. It was good.

    I've been on Jenny Craig twice and the first time was wonderful. I lost 45 pounds so that was awesome. I also changed my eating habits. I ate way more vegetables than I ever did before and I did lose weight. But I gained weight when I was off which is why I went back on. I did lose 17 pounds when I went back on Jenny Craig. But I had three different consultants and the first one was not accurate in the food that she told me. You can go on any weight loss program but with Jenny Craig, the consultant piece and the quality interaction are so important. Being really accurate is so important when really caring about people. The second consultant I had wasn't very nice either and although the third one was okay, by then, I was somewhat frustrated. That was when I left.

    Another issue is that on the second time, I had essentially the same meals and I got tired of eating the same food. I also knew that when I have to go back to eating my own food, you can't get that kind of food out there in the world. It would be very difficult. I was completely dependent on Jenny Craig. So whenever I went off, I gained weight because I couldn't find that food.

    I used Jenny Craig for almost a solid year and I had an absolutely phenomenal experience. I've learned and done a lot of the things, and I've kept the weight off. That's always a good sign. The program genuinely works. You'll have ups and downs but if you keep pressing through it, it comes off. Use the counselor when you're feeling like you can't make it. She can come up with ideas such as making up the vegetable soup. That's really good. So if you're really hungry, you can have a little vegetable soup and you really aren't going to hurt your gain on the program in any way.

    Maryann was my counselor and she was very good. I have multiple sclerosis so setting some of the goals was a little harder for me because I would have to go on steroids and that really messes things up. She would work with me to try to balance that and be realistic in thinking that maybe I didn't lose as much the first time as I would because of the steroids but that I should keep on it. I needed the weekly visits, especially in the beginning. I made them on a Monday because that would make me be better on the weekend, which is when you usually go out to eat and then it's harder to be as diligent, smart and wise. But I don't want to make it good or bad. That's another thing I learned.

    The other thing is to look at the portions. That was probably the biggest for me. Years ago, I had tried Nutrisystem and before I started with Jenny Craig, I knew that I needed something to help me do portion control and proper balance of meals. Now, when I go to a restaurant, I order a six or eight-ounce steak, whatever they have in that range, and as soon as it comes to my table, I cut the entire meal in half. I put it away in the box and take it home for another meal. The reason I don't wait until the end is because I'm usually going out because I'm with someone. Then we're gonna sit there talking. If the food sits on my plate, I will continue to eat it. It's human nature. Whereas if I cut it in half and I've already put it in the box to go home, I can finish what's on my plate and just relax with everybody.

    I started at 215 and I got down to 183 but occasionally, I would dip under. I'm 184 today and I'll be 182 tomorrow. My final goal is to get under 180 but if I don't, I'm not gonna worry about it. I've gone from a size 22 to a size 14. Some people say they have to get to a certain number. But I never really said that. I was looking at how I looked in my clothes and feeling my body and what works for me. And a size 12 or 14, depending on the cut of the pants, is quite fine for me. And they had taken a before thing so now, I need my after picture.

    I have even kept one pair of pants. When I'm having a particular need for the munchies, I get the pants out of the closet and I open them up. This was Maryann's idea. One side of me looks like it could fit in one side now and I say I don't wanna do that again then I just don't eat. I only had one issue with Jenny Craig. They have you eat that little bar they give. But I can't eat that because one of my issues is swallowing. It wouldn't get small enough for me.

    But I liked the variety of the meal plans. They change a little bit each week. However, I'm allergic to onions and that made it a little hard because things that I would have enjoyed, such as the tuna, all have raw onion in them. I'm also not crazy about ravioli but I really liked some of the meat dishes, and you can swap them out. The personal consultant can look at which ones are comparable for what you need for your balance for the day. That worked very well for me.

I basically have that same breakfast everyday and I've been having that breakfast pretty much for several years. So I’m okay with repetitiveness. I've found some things to do too. I was always pliable. I always tried something out, picked out which ones I liked and what I didn't like as much. That was enjoyable and all in all, it’s all pretty good quality.

    Jenny Craig was rated by the US News as one of the best diet programs. I've also seen their commercial where there were testimonials and that people were losing weight. My friend lost weight on it, too. I decided to give it a shot and got a very nice consultant named Tanya. On our initial meeting, she explained all the meal plans and how to incorporate some exercise around with a diet program to see the results. Everything was very clear, so it was very good.

    I met with Tanya once a week and she would do the weigh-in as well as the measurements for my waistline, bust and hips once a month. I also go there to get the food for the meal plan. I started at 152 pounds and went down to 140, then I stopped around December. I was on the program for almost a year. At some point, I wasn’t losing any weight. I had PCOS and insulin-resistance, so I didn’t wanna get anything too sweet when it came to the snacks and desserts. Tanya said it’s not gonna be effective and that I have to make some adjustments on it. I told her I was gonna do the keto and would probably come back to Jenny if I have to.

    I like how convenient it was that I don’t even have to cook anything. I could just heat up the food, eat it, and then work out. So, the same meal all the time. I got the breakfast burrito and the egg scramble bowls. And then, the chicken tacos for lunch - that would be the chicken tender with the fries or the pasta. There were so many other options on there. It's just that there was that point where it may have been that I had to incorporate more exercise or had to adjust maybe the calories for the meal plan. Otherwise, I was very satisfied with the experience. Tanya was very helpful and she worked with me. Even when I had to see someone else because of her day off schedule, they were able to help me. That was very convenient. And when I was out of town, I would be able to see another consultant at other locations. They were very accommodating.

    I have tried all the other weight loss program and when I did my own research, I found Jenny Craig. The person who checked me in and who I visited with every week had been amazing. He was the reason that I had a very positive experience. Every week, I go in and weigh in. My personal consultant and I talked about how I did and any questions that I had. My weekly visit was always very positive and I look forward to it because I was successful. I lost 55 pounds which was what I wanted to lose and why I stayed with Jenny Craig. Their menu plan was fine. The desserts were good although the food wasn't that great. But because I was losing weight, it was worth it.

    My friend had really good success with Jenny Craig that I decided to go with it as well. My experience has been very good. I met my weight loss goal of around 42 pounds in about eight months, and I’ve been on maintenance since May of 2018. I was very surprised about the meals. There has only been a few of the entrees that I truly don’t care for, and my consultant lets me swap those out. The two that I can’t eat come in little pop-top cans, and there’s chicken salad and tuna salad. I have cats and the whole thing reminds me too much of cat food. But overall, I’ve been really happy. My weight loss has been very noticeable, so a lot of people have asked me about it, and I very straightly tell them it’s Jenny Craig. I have recommended many people.

    My only concern has been recently with the second of my reps leaving. I was never told in advance. I just arrived for my biweekly maintenance meeting and was met at the door by a complete stranger who told me that Anne was gone. It felt a little impersonal. All I was told was that the manager doesn’t like clients to know when someone’s leaving. My thought was I’m not a child and in some regard, maybe I deserved to be told. But my consultants have been great. The first one got a promotion within Jenny Craig and the second one recently took a job outside of the company. I’m now on my third consultant and she seemed really kind and friendly.

    My son ended up working for Jenny Craig in California and he kept telling me it would be a good thing to try, so I did. While in the program, I didn’t have to think about what my meals had to be, they were all planned for me. I liked the spaghetti and the breakfasts and soups were all quite good. Also, the consultant was fantastic. She took a look at anything I had during the week I considered a challenge. She always covered things like if I had a dinner out or a party or something like that going on or if I was going on vacation. And she checked if I was pleased with all the different foods or ones to eliminate. Talking to her every week really helped me stick to my goals. I was on it for about half a year and I’ve been off of their guidance for quite a while now and it has stuck. I lost the weight I wanted to lose and I’m in good shape. I've recommended them to quite a few people. I have a good friend on the program right now.

    The initial interaction I had with Jenny Craig was informative and sounded promising. My personal consultant was outstanding. She was easy to talk to. I've lost 20 pounds but things got hectic with my husband in December, so I stopped going to my consultant, Naveen, during the month of January. I gained a couple of pounds and I started to go back this month.

    The menu plan is outstanding. It is very easy to follow and it has made life very easy for me. For my entrees, I particularly enjoy the meatloaf salisbury steak. I usually order two or three of those a week. I love the breakfast burritos and the cinnamon cake in the morning with coffee. For my lunches, I love the burgers and the chicken sandwiches, so I'm pretty set in my diet. I was a fast food eater, and the chicken sandwiches and the tacos made it really easy to maintain my preference in diet. I'm impressed with the quality of the meals. They're tasty. I just add a salad and I'm fine. They're very satisfying.

    Even when I finish losing all my weight, I would still eat the food because it's good. Also, I love going to see Naveen. I see her every week. I don't have the room in my freezer to hold the food for two weeks, so I just go in every week and pick up a new batch of food. But I wish there was a way that I can order the food online, so I wouldn't have to go in, like with the Nutrisystem where you just order the food and you get it, and you don't have to go in. Jenny Craig is about 10 miles from my house, so it takes me about 20 minutes to get there and back. So it would be easier if the food just came to my house and I went in once a month.

She printed a diet apparently geared toward diabetic. The diet is the same as the regular program minus the bars. My first breakfast the second week was waffles with breakfast syrup. Not acceptable.

    Jenny Craig came with high recommendation and since I needed something to help kickstart me, I gave it a shot. I’ve talked with them over the phone and everything was wonderful. They’re very informative and supportive of life and just everything going on around you. My personal consultant and I would have our meetings in the morning, just a conversation. I would give her my weight and she would ask me if I had had highs or lows in the week and if there was something difficult to stick with in the plan or if it wasn’t. I felt that it was easy to communicate and take accountability for everything that I did.

    I stopped in October of '18 as I had met all my goals and I’ve been in an amazing mood since then, which has been great. I had started in June and from June to October, I lost 45 pounds. It was really good. I just started with the food and I had awesome results. After three weeks, I had more energy so then I started a running program, and the combination of the two was very good.

    For the most part, the food was fabulous. There were a couple things that I didn’t really care for but that’s just personal preference. I’m kinda picky when it comes to meat. So I didn’t really care for a lot of the meals that were meat-driven. But their hamburgers and their pizzas were great. They also had a chicken mix that you could put over a salad and I loved that. It's some type of Southwest blend. That was one of my favorites. Everything was just very flavorful and tasty. Everybody kept asking how my diet was going and it didn’t really show like I was on a diet. In terms of the shipments, everything was also on time and it was seamless. It happened almost automatically.

    I must have been one of Jenny's first customers and bought a lifelong membership. It has helped me lose weight periodically when I was having difficulty doing it myself. I must say, though, that when I rejoined recently I was disappointed in how the food had changed. Mesquite chicken and Salisbury Steak used to have a sizable portion of meat, now the meat portions have really been cut back. There is barely any chicken at all in the Chicken Marsala or any pork in the burrito bowl. As I get older I need to eat more protein and less carbohydrate. I get the feeling that Jenny is leaving out meat to save money on the product, which is not the right way to go with the business. Don't sell me a bunch of sugar and carbohydrates, please. This recent change in plan seems to rely on the customer to provide the protein in the Greek yogurt and cottage cheese that one has to buy oneself.

    We’ve been on the Jenny Craig program for about a year and have both achieved satisfactory results. Decent but not phenomenal. But it’s a good program that we have both recommended. Our problem is that not once in that year has JC done any customer surveys of any kind. The menu changes and good food is replaced with something less appealing. Now I can understand making changes but why is the customer never surveyed at all? The longer we’re on it the more it begins to feel like a “This is the program, like it or leave” philosophy.

    Hmmm, 2 lbs. in 2 weeks?? Spent close to $400 for 2 weeks food (including groceries like fruit, veg and dairy). I hardly think 2 lbs is successful like my consultant says, that I should be proud of myself?? Why so I can spend another $400 for maybe another 2 lbs. She never even asked what my activity level was and asked if I had followed the diet to the letter!!! Um, yes... I am a grown adult. I know how to read a menu plan and why would I cheat for this exhorbitant amount of money. Microwave meals mostly and a lot of it was mystery meat. I did not feel I was eating healthy other than the fruits and veggies I bought myself. I do better on my own diet. All this is is portion control, 1200 calories per day.

    This is my second time doing Jenny Craig. I started back in May of 2018. I am currently down a nice amount of weight, but have been struggling with weight coming off the way it did to begin with since September. I have been seriously slowed down and losing motivation because the weight just stopped coming off like it had been. About 3 weeks ago, I finally asked my consultant if I should be lowering my calorie intake soon, as we do on Jenny Craig when we hit certain weight loss goals, and it turns out that my calorie intake should have been reduced 37 pounds ago in my weight loss.

    That was way back in July and it is currently January!! I am very upset... This could be a big part of the reason my weight loss has slowed so much. I have gone through emotional distress and paid nearly $150 a week for weeks on end and I had no idea I was eating too many calories for so long...

    I used Jenny Craig 15 years ago and then, a friend referred me. I liked the way that the plan was set up. It was easy and they were very organized with the food. There was no measuring and no counting. Currently, the consultant gave me the information that I needed to make sure that I could follow the plan correctly. I like to know how and why, and she gave me all of that. I liked the girl that I had for eight months but she left. She got to know all about me and knew what my issues were as well as my hotspots. I have a new girl and she started with me in the last four months. She was getting on board. Switching consultants was difficult because I felt I had a personal relationship with the first girl, and I’m working on it with the second girl so, it was hard for me at first.

    Utilizing the menu plan doesn’t give me the flexibility to go off plan so, I like that. It figures it all out for me because if I had to choose everything myself, I would eat mac and cheese all day and every day which would defeat the purpose. I’m on a Type 2 plan, so I try everything once that’s on the plan and if I don’t like it, I sub it out the next time. I don’t like the soup and I don’t eat fish. I thought I would love the pasta, but I didn’t. I didn’t care for some of the food at all but most of it was very good. I like the meatloaf and mac and cheese. For breakfast, I like the scrambled or the omelets. Those are good because I like anything sweet.

    The quality of the meals are good and they come packaged with the information on them. Since using Jenny Craig, I have lost 47 pounds and I have met my goal weight. I have reduction in some of my medications and my A1C is much lower. I feel better and I wanna move more. Jenny Craig requires some self-control on your own part but it sets you up for success.

    I had tried Jenny Craig six years ago and I did it for about a month and it worked really well at the time. I started going back in June and they’re great to work with. However, I’m not the typical client and I don’t like to go in there and weigh. They really would like me to, but when I first started, I had a boot on because I broke my foot and in no way, I could take my boot off. Still, they were good and I’ve lost 40 pounds since. After I did the first four-week plan, I lost 15 pounds in that so I really stuck to it. I’m a little bit independent and it’s my commitment to lose weight. Jenny can be there to support me, but they can’t walk me to their table so I go in and order whatever I wanna order, which is good for me. I don’t follow any food plan now. But it’s really great to work with them because I can do that. They know I’m making progress.

    My husband and I are retired so we travel a lot. I set goals for myself in between trips. We had a big trip in July and we were gone for two weeks. I didn’t go on a diet during those two weeks. Then we had another trip on the 1st of September. Overall, since before Thanksgiving, I have not been trying to diet and I’ve just been trying to maintain. I still go and get the Jenny Craig food, but I don’t eat that at every meal. I might eat it once a day or I’ll try to eat that when I’m trying to eat my breakfast every day. Or if we go out during the day, I try to come home and have just that for dinner.

    Jenny Craig has really good food and the main thing I like about is it’s so convenient. It’s like a typical frozen food, but it’s fresher than anything you get in the grocery store. I’m a designer and I still design about three days a week. In the days that I go to the design office, I always take my Jenny Craig food because if I don’t, I’m too tempted. There’s always people bringing in pizza or hamburgers. Jenny Craig's meals are convenient to take with you to work. It’s also convenient when you come home, you’re tired, and you pop one of those in the microwave. It tastes good and there is not a lot of salt in it. Jenny Craig has been awesome for me. I’m 67, so it dawned on me at one point that I’ve gotta do this. I’m getting to the point where if I don’t do it now, I’ll never do it. I’ve had people tell me I look 20 years younger and it's been a great booster for my ego.

    I knew people that were on the Jenny Craig program and it sounded good. It got me enticed so, back in the mid 90’s, I joined as a lifetime member. I’ve been a member for 20 years and it has never worked for me before the way it worked last time due to the Rapid Results. When I first began my journey, my mom had just passed last September which was a big wake-up call to get healthy. So, I started exercising starting last October. In January, I wanted to kickstart it and I came into Jenny Craig. I knew I could trust them because I used them before. I never made it to maintenance before but I knew that they had something. They told me about Rapid Results so, I started doing it. It was a big lifestyle change. I had to have new habits and new food. I had a lot of cravings at the beginning. It was difficult but they were able to coach me through it.

    The consultants were very warm and helpful because I had some challenges. I got sick a couple of times and they had some good ideas about what to eat when I was sick, and what to eat when I had cravings. Lydia and Renee were amazing. They had great ideas, tips and tricks and so, I was able to do it. After six months, I lost the cravings. Then, at 11 months, I hit my maintenance and my goal which was going to the Bahamas and having a beach body. I’ve been doing weekly but I just transitioned to bi-weekly.

    Jenny Craig has great food which was why I wanna keep going and buying it. I love the chicken ranch melt, the chicken teriyaki bowl, the Philly, chicken carbonara, ham and swiss baguette and the cheeseburger. I also like the chocolate cheesecake and all the snacks like the cheese curls, the cheese crisps and the tortilla chips. The ranch snaps are good and I like their shakes and bars. I kinda stopped eating the breakfast from them because I was able to find breakfast that are comparable in the grocery store.

    It took a long time to start this new habit. It took me six months to get to where I had no cravings. In the beginning, I couldn’t sleep all night. I’d look at my clock every hour and think about when I can eat again. You have to stick with it, go to the consultations, eat the food and follow the directions. If you do all that, it will work. I’ve been telling my friends about Jenny Craig and I had a friend that joined. It was a big investment but it really works.

    We've tried several other programs, and Jenny Craig's seemed simpler and easier to go through. It also seemed like something that was appropriate for us. The weekly visits really put us in the right frame of mind to keep going and get us back on track if we've gone off. We'd go over what went right or what went wrong that week, and that makes it easy to try and lose weight. With the program, my mother and I were definitely losing weight but it also kept us feeling like we weren't starving ourselves, so it was great. The food was always edible. The meat lasagna was good, and so was the hot oat meal for breakfast. We also loved the dessert and we couldn't get enough of it.

    When I started years ago with Jenny Craig, they were the closest thing near me. Then I restarted back up with them a couple of times and this time, I've been with them for about 8 months. The program works for me and my interactions with the personal consultants have all been really good. They are attentive and they tailored things to my needs. I have some allergies and whatnot, so they worked with me on that.

    I’m on maintenance now. Usually, it’s whatever I want but they maintained me out. I did 4 weeks then 3 weeks, then 2 weeks, and then 1, and now it’s just once a month. My food favorites are the cheeseburger, lava cake, and most of the desserts. The quality of the meals is fine and does the trick. It fills me up and I stay full. For the most part, I’ve gotten to the goal that I wanted to get to every time I’ve gone on. It took me a couple of years to gain it all back, but then I could get it all back off again within a few months. So, I appreciate that.

    I came across Jenny Craig 15 years ago and I’ve been with them on and off. When I’m using the program, I would see great progress and typically, I would lose 2 pounds a week if I stick with it. The reps were good but some were better than others. Sarah, my most recent, has been great. She is very non-judgmental, supportive, able to work around when I have things going on in my schedule, easy to talk to and good to work with. Also, I love the food. A lot of times, the menu plan would depend on what else they have going on but the ease of use is worth it when I’m ready to be in 100%. I’m not typically a big breakfast eater, but I’m always happy to eat the Jenny Craig breakfast meals which are my favorite. If I’m trying to do something a little less expensive, I typically go to Weight Watchers and prep my own meal. However, timesaving-wise, I love Jenny Craig.

    I liked the convenience of not having to figure out what I was gonna eat and Jenny Craig offered a good variety. I prefer the frozen foods because they taste better. My options were also limited because I don’t like a lot of foods. There were also a couple of things that they changed while I was in the program that I didn’t really understand. The macaroni and cheese was one of my favorites. It came with carrots and green beans but then they changed it to broccoli and carrots. It seemed like most of the vegetable options were broccoli though, and if you don’t like broccoli, the green beans was a good option with the macaroni and cheese.

    Also, I never really felt a connection to the personal consultant. Basically, we would weigh and she would take my order. There wasn’t much else beyond that. I would have liked a little more encouragement though. There were times that I was frustrated and it didn’t seem like there was much support. I felt like she needed to get through the appointment to get to her next appointment. I’m not in the program anymore but the reason I stopped was purely financial. I wouldn’t recommend it to a lot of people either because it is pricey. But I was happy with the results. I had been on the program before and although I was not as happy with the results this time as the first time I did it, I’m also older now so it would take longer.

    I tried Jenny Craig's weight loss program and I liked the food and lost weight. I'm a lifetime member and I've been a long-time member with them over the years. In my first time with them, I had a counselor that I talked to and it was easy to make a commitment. I had good interactions with my counselors. They gave helpful advice and I saw them every week. Those weekly meetings keep me on track and I currently have a very enthusiastic person who helps me. I really like my primary consultant, Connie. She is cheerful, upbeat, and easy to talk to

    Since being on the program, I was losing weight consistently from April through the end of July and I lost 35 to 40 pounds. Then I went into a plateau wherein my weight stabilized and I had a hard time getting past that. Then the holidays came up and I'm hoping to get back on the weight losing track and follow the program consistently beginning in January. When I'm starting again on the program and have good dedication, it's easy for me to follow. But I've noticed that I lose my enthusiasm after about three months and I have to reestablish my commitment to the program. Maybe another menu set or some kind of rewards program or reduction in cost would be helpful in keeping me enthusiastic. I got $120 off and that was $10 a week, but then that ended and is something that could be extended.

    I like their menu plan very much. I go on the diabetic plan and it's very good. I don't have those little bars that they provide, but I feel that their menu plan is very healthy. Throughout the day, I have breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I also have some healthy snack and a lot of times this is spring cheese, which is protein and is like cottage cheese. As for the dinners, I've had chicken carbonara and I love the meatloaf. The macaroni and cheese is a lunch that I really like. I also like the little baguette sandwich. For breakfast, I like the waffles and the French toast. I really like the little frittata, but I try to follow the menu. So far, the quality of the meals that I've purchased has been very good.

    I have fought my weight my whole life. Ten years ago, I read Valerie Bertinelli's book and I signed up with Jenny Craig. At that time, I lost about 35 pounds and it was all good. But it was nowhere near my goal. Then, I was driving to Columbia, Missouri which is about a 30-mile drive. A center opened up in Jefferson City, and I started coming here. At first, I got hold of a counselor that cared more about herself than me, and it was frustrating. But six months ago, I'm back with another gal who has been there before and who I really liked. In addition to that, I'm not bored with the food. It's easy. I work a lot of hours at my job, and I'm able to manage what I'm doing. With where I'm going, I'm not gaining weight. In fact, I'm maintaining it through the holidays with the expectation that I'm gonna get started again.

    Since I've been meeting this gal weekly, I just order the food. I saw a lot on their menu while I'm in the center with her and she goes and packs it for me. It's been very convenient. And for the most part, I like their meals. Although some of them I'll try once but I won't probably eat again. The folks who are doing the development of the new products are more in tune with what's going on today. And I'm a pretty picky eater. For instance, when I have the Carbonara, I'll put the peas out because I don’t eat peas, but then I will eat something else.

    Other than that, I like the gals at the center and they're not trying to tell me something that they don’t understand. Part of my issue before was with a little gal who had never had to diet in her whole life and she's telling me what I needed to do. I don’t have that now. I have people who are fighting the same battle and they understand where I'm coming from. And so, that has been helpful as well.

    But overall, the flavor of the food is better and so is the volume. Also, the variety is better than it was. Then I have the ability to choose tortilla chips and that’s something that I needed in portion control because otherwise, I would eat the whole bag. So a lot of good things that have happened over the last few years at Jenny Craig and because of this, I would recommend them to everyone.

He makes the visits comfortable and a good experience. Every question that I ask, he's able to answer to my satisfaction. Also, I love their meal plans. Their portions are okay and with it, I don't have to think. I just go in, select and take it home. I put it in the microwave and I don't have to cook. Their food was always good but it is much better now. I like that they periodically change the menus.

    I did Jenny Craig once several years ago. You go and make use of their service, which is to help you lose weight, and then, when you don’t need to lose any more weight, you go on maintenance and you leave. And then, years later if you need to, you come back. Most diets aren’t completely effective but Jenny Craig is a very effective program for a lot of people, and I'm one of the people that it helped a great deal.

    It's a good balanced program, which is very helpful. They’ve improved the quality of their food and I like it very much. It was very easy for me to effectively use their program because the food is so good, and appealing. Their food is high quality and varied. For other people dieting is not effective unless they make their own food but for people like me who is busy, Jenny Craig is very effective. I started online and then I switched over to going once every two weeks to one of their centers and interacting with them personally. I have recommended them to friends.

    I've been with Jenny Craig for years and I'm very happy with them. I went with them because I liked the results and they have a very easy weight loss program. In addition to that, My first Jenny Craig meeting turned out to be very good and the personal consultant I have for the last two years has been wonderful. She became a good friend. We talk about the week I had, like if I had any problems or anything she could help me with. If I have upcoming things like weddings, we talk about how I can best handle them. Then I get weighed and then we can then talk about it and see if it was satisfactory or what I could have done better. We also talk about my food. We've been going for two years and I've never missed a meeting except when I'm in Florida or when I'm sick, so I see her every week. As a result, I've lost 46 pounds and 26 inches in six months. And I've kept it off for a year and a half now.

    Other than that, the meals themselves are very, very good. And although I don't eat eggs since I'm allergic to it, I love the French toast. I also love the Philly cheese steak and the butternut squash ravioli. I like the lasagna too. There's a lot that I really like. I'm on maintenance, so I can pick what I like and I do it every week. The people that are the regular plan have a set thing for the first few weeks to help them really lose quickly. But for me, I pick what I like.

    I eat regular foods during the week and I mix it. I love the cinnamon coffee cakes. That's probably one of my favorite desserts. They have lava and lemon cakes. That's what I look forward to as my treat at night and I don't look for other things because it's really satisfying. I have no reservations about Jenny Craig. In fact, I was on one of Jenny Craig's success stories. I'm 63 and nobody really believes that it's me since I look at least 10 years younger. We have a wall in there and they have the before and after pictures. The first thing that people notice is that we look so much younger.

    When I first walked in to Jenny Craig, I was very taken aback because it wasn't professional. But now, it seems they got rid of a lot of people. And I love my representative. It helps knowing that you have to go once a week. I have a lot going on here so I can't even concentrate. That way, you have to be accountable. There are good days and bad days even with that. It's like for a drug addict, there are times that it's hard. You have bad days where you go off the wagon but things happen. Now, it's holiday and you have a lot of company so it's a little difficult. But I know I have to do this. It's good for a while but then I went off and things came up. But I have to weigh everything.

    I like the fact that the food, the breakfast, the lunch and the dinner, are all set up for you. So I just take it out of the freezer, warm it up and call it a day. I can't be bothered making special food and the quality is good. I'm very minimal about the foods that I eat. I eat the same thing everyday so I order the same thing every single week. I like the the cinnamon rolls, that bagel, the chocolate muffin and the bacon sandwich. Then for lunch and for the dinners, I like the hamburgers, the baked potato and the chicken carbonara. There are some things that could be a little bit more though. For instance, they have spaghetti and meatballs and lasagna. They should make the chicken parm too. They also have bars and a lot of desserts though. I like the cupcakes and the lava cakes.

    The portions are great but it's like anything else. If you put a bowl of spaghetti in front of you, you're gonna eat the whole bowl if you're an addict. I eat the whole thing but I'm always hungry so I try to drink water. I'm not 500 pounds. But we addicts love our food. With Jenny Craig, the food is always in proportion to what they think you should eat and the number of calories in a day.

    I connect with my personal consultant at Jenny Craig. I have tried others in the store I'm going to and she is the best of them. But there were times that she did not provide the support or the assistance. I haven't had as much support as I had hoped for, and this is not a knock on the woman I see all the time. I've successfully done Jenny Craig before. I'm a returning member, and this time around, every time I discuss with my personal consultant my frustrations and concerns about having some kind of a social activity, she tells me that Jenny Craig doesn't allow me to eat off the plan. I keep telling her that that is not realistic. We all have a life and responsibilities, and I've got to be able to incorporate both, so I asked here to help me. But she just told me that that's not what they do.

    The last time I did the program, I was encouraged to eat out. I was told how to do so successfully. I was even told to have a glass of wine if that would help me. But this time, there's no allowances or leeway. I find it to be a flaw in the program and a flaw in the training of their people, and then ultimately a flaw in the success of their members. It would be best if the plan and the training incorporated how to have a life with Jenny Craig in it rather than this very ridiculous and restricted routine of, "You gotta sit in the house and eat all your meals."

    I've been on the program since April 9th, and my result has been good. It's taking me a very long time. Once every six weeks, my Jenny Craig consultant gives me some kind of a motivation, but other than that, week to week, I'm on my own. I'm thrilled that I've lost weight. However, in terms of Jenny's assistance, I did all the heavy lifting. I'm not thrilled to a lot of the food choices. When I first started, I was told that I had to eat the 2018 menu exactly as it was printed. I didn't like the majority of the food choices, and I didn't wanna spend my money on food that I wouldn't eat. So I would just buy the foods that tasted good to me. But then I was told that I was not sticking to the plan, so I'm not gonna lose weight. But I did lose weight.

    The menu was largely a southwestern flavored menu. It's spicy, it's tacos and fajitas and burritos. I live in the northeast, and we don't eat like that. I've had these complaints with Jenny Craig before. I have called before when I did this in 2006. I ate one meal in 2006 because there was only one choice that I found tasty. Unfortunately, they don't listen to the consumers who live in other parts of the country. But the turkey and wild rice is pretty good. I like the grilled chicken teriyaki, the broccoli and cheese stuffed potato, and the fish and chips is okay. I can tolerate the spaghetti and meatballs, and the lasagna. For breakfast, I only like the carbs. I buy the cinnamon buns, the coffee cake, the chocolate muffin, and the bagel. I live in New York. This is what Yankees eat.

    I joined Jenny Craig back in the 80s. I heard good things about it, like there was food and you added your own vegetable. I had a good experience when I first went into Jenny Craig. The people there were friendly. Back then, we had meetings that I didn't love, but they haven't had this for a long time. I had such a great experience with my mentor. She was my personal consultant and I adore her. Back in the day, she was so much like me. She had a kid in high school like I did, and she was a family-oriented person like me. We just clicked right away.

    I kept on the classic meal plan, where I choose my own food. The breakfasts are my favorite. But as far as individual meals for the other parts of the day, may favorite is the chicken marsala. It's the one that they out too much chicken at, so it's wonderful. I also like the lasagna. There was the new blue corn tortilla chips that really tasted good and I liked it. I thought it had too much salt, but when Barbara looked at it, it didn't have sodium. The food at Jenny Craig had good quality. It's not there to make you maintain your weight, it's there to help you lose your weight. If I'd gone off of the rails, I go back to Jenny Craig and get the weight off.

    I went to Jenny Craig about 10 years ago, then I came back about a year ago. And both times, I had an instant connection with my coach or the person that I saw every week. It was wonderful. I've used Jenny Craig a couple of times because it's the only diet I found that I could do again and still enjoy it and stick to it. I felt I was very out of control with portions and I wanted to get that back into a place where I was eating the specific items that they gave me as opposed to trying to figure out for myself. I live alone and Jenny Craig was so convenient.

    With my first consultant, it was important for the both of us to do exercise and keep physically fit. We liked to talk about that each week and how it was an important part of losing weight. I really like the weekly visits with my consultant. It keeps me honest and it keeps me accountable. I'm a Type 2 diabetic and the first time I went, I had to get an okay with my doctor. The last time I came to Jenny Craig, I asked if I could have the form so I could take it to my doctor and I won't have to lose time, but they said that they didn't need to have the doctor's permission anymore. Then, they asked when I would like to start. It has worked out very well that way.

    I like the meals at Jenny Craig. I have been with them this time for a little over a year and I'm planning with my last 5 pounds, but I don't want to declare a maintenance check because I don't wanna start losing what I've gained. I really like the food. There are a couple of meals I don't care for but just two or three out of the whole variety. I love adding broccoli to a lot of the creamy dishes like the carbonara and the frozen ravioli. I love their spaghetti and lasagna, and the turkey burger is my favorite.

    I have a hard time getting people to think that this is the best way to go and I've had other people that decided not to make this choice. I've lost weight and they didn't. Jenny Craig is a good deal especially if you live alone. I figured it might be harder if you had to cook for the rest of your family, but if you're a single person and you're creating your own meals, it's really hard sometimes to decide what you're gonna eat and how much you're gonna make, but Jenny takes that away from you and you don't have to worry about it.

    I've tried other diet things but I like Jenny Craig's food. I also like the whole laugh and share when I go in and talk to one of their consultants. Deborah, the person I had been dealing with, made me feel very comfortable and she gave me the motivation to continue. I've lost about 28 pounds. So, I like going to Jenny Craig because of her. She makes me feel good. Also, the menus are good and the food is excellent. The only thing is price-wise with the menu, it's extremely expensive if you buy a week of food. If you average it out throughout the day, it's not that bad. But when you're on a fixed income, it's sometimes a little difficult to keep up with it. Nevertheless, Jenny Craig works for me and I will tell others to give it a try.

    I have been using Jenny Craig's weight loss program and my interaction with them has been great. My personal consultant, Arlene, who's with the Langhorne, Pennsylvania center has become a really close friend and almost like family. She’s wonderful, so I look forward to seeing her every week. I buy their breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Some of my favorites are the cheesy chicken and potatoes and the fish and chips. I like the ham and cheese baguette. I also like the mac and cheese, but I don’t like the carrots that come as a side dish with it since I don’t like carrots and anything with broccoli. Overall, the quality of their meals is very high and good. Since using the Jenny Craig program, my progress and the results have been excellent. I've lost 75 pounds and have five more to go.

    Years ago, I went to Jenny Craig and became a lifetime member. I stopped for a long time and then came back to it, and I've been with them for seven months now. I’m taking a little break right now and I’m going back in January. My personal consultant, Jean, is great. She’s concerned, she asks how I’m doing and she’s very on target. I love their menu plan specifically the Ramen soup, the Enchiladas, sunshine sandwich and the Barscotti. They’re very tasty. There are a couple items I don’t like but you can sub them out. Going back has been great because not only did I lose 25 pounds, I’ve also reversed my diabetes and my high blood pressure. So it has medically helped me.

    I did Jenny Craig in the '90s so I know that if I stick to it, it is very successful to lose weight. Over the years, I abandoned what I learned, went back to the old habits and regained the weight. So, this time, I decided I needed to get healthy and knew that Jenny Craig worked for me in the past, so I got started again. I had a lifetime membership, which they no longer offer, but they honored the one that I had.

    I love my counselor in San Antonio, Texas, at De Zavala and I have been successful at losing the weight. There has been some improvement in the food from before and I like to follow their weekly menus as it makes things easy but a lot of times, the place I go to does not have what is on the week’s menu. That aside, I highly recommend Jenny Craig if you're serious about losing weight and willing to do what it takes.

    I did the Jenny Craig program eight years ago and then, decided I needed to kick-start my weight loss and started it again last fall, and then again, this fall. It's just easy with them. The food is there. I don't have to make any decisions and I also don't give it any thought. I just have to follow the program and I'll lose weight. However, going to meet with the consultant is the part that I could do without because of the scheduling time, it's a 40-minute drive for me. But all of them have been very pleasant. The meal plan and meals are tolerable. They work and some of them are better than the others. Their triple-chocolate cheesecake is very nice. The program works well for me because I live alone and I don't have leftovers that I have a tendency to eat. I've recommended Jenny Craig to several people.

I tried a bunch of other stuff, and Jenny Craig is the one that consistently works well for me. The interaction I had with them was very positive. My personal consultant knows me well. Our interactions are great and I feel I can totally talk to her. Since the first time I went, Jenny Craig changed their menu. But I don’t do it as they tell me to. I do it like I did when I was there 10 years ago, and they're fine with that so that’s how we do it. My favorite meals for dinner are chicken marsala, turkey and mashed potatoes, but I don’t like any of the meals that are not frozen. The ones that don’t have to be frozen are nasty.

    My experience with Jenny Craig was wonderful. I’m a lifetime member with them and I’ve done their program several times. In the last two years, I had a major surgery, and they removed half of my liver. And then the next year, I had a big hernia along the incision side. They had to go back into the same abdominal area. I needed to cut down the pressure on that abdominal side so losing weight was an option.

    I absolutely love my consultant. Her name is Joyce. She's awesome. We had such a good time together. She was very down-to-earth and easy to talk to. She’s good at making practical suggestions. She got to know me personally and could relate with my lifestyle, so she could help me with the products better. I told her I was on-the-go a lot and I needed food that I could grab. Her attitude was very understanding.

    Recently I used Jenny Craig for six months. I lost 25 pounds and I felt good. Most of the time I get excited with the food that I purchase from them. They were very good. You can pick and choose what you like and don’t like. It’s so convenient to have my meals delivered to my door. I’m in a rural area, and it’s very affordable for shipping. I also just got for the holidays. It’s too crazy to be finished with what I got now, so I thought I’d be back.

    Sometimes I get tired of their food and I get hungry for home-cooked food. I told Joyce it would be really good if they came up with a protein-packed product that has fruit, crackers, cheese, and grapes. Something that’s just refrigerated that you could just take with you when you travel and you don’t have to have a microwave. That’s something that would really help me not snack when I’m traveling. But I wish there was a way to recycle the large Styrofoam containers that they send. I get their meals every two weeks, and that’s a lot of Styrofoam containers. The containers are so nice. I don’t want to throw them away but I don’t have a place to store them. It would be a good idea if there was some way we could send it back to them to recycle.

    I overheard somebody talking about it in the lunchroom at work. People were sitting at the table behind me and one person was telling her friend about Jenny Craig, how wonderful the program was and how well she had done on it. So I thought I should go give it a try. I went in and when the program was explained, it felt like something that was possible. It felt supported so I thought, “Yeah, I can do that.” That first interaction was very helpful.

    I started over a year ago but I’ve been on maintenance for the last several months, kinda off and on. I've lost 50 pounds and I’ve maintained it for the most part. I had some health issues going on in the summer so I went back on the program for four weeks. But now I’m back on maintenance again. So it’s been really successful. The model is really good and I’ve even recommended two people. I wouldn’t have been able to last in the program, especially with the health challenges I had, without the support of a consultant. And it’s not just her. There were other people in the branch too. They get to know you and the manager even phoned to say Merry Christmas to me. So it feels like a community and that’s so valuable.

    There was the odd time that my consultant was away and there was one person who was really young and didn’t seem very understanding. It was not that she was wrong but it was difficult. I’m older and in my 60s. I needed somebody a little bit more mature. But for the most part, I’ve had two main consultants and they’ve been both really excellent. The weekly visit helps and very much so. It keeps me accountable for one thing. But it also helps me sort out different problems that I’d had with the diet or different strategies.

    I also liked that there is some variety in the menu. I’m sad when my favorite things are gone but for the most part, I like it. I like the frozen stuff way better than the pantry stuff though. In terms of the meals, I’m not a fan. I’ve developed a bit of an allergy, perhaps to a preservative in the pantry ones. There are also a couple of things I’m allergic to in the menu. But for the most part, I’m not. In fact, they’re really quite tasty and there have been improvements since I started. They had redone some of them. The quality is quite good.

    The cheeseburger was one of my favorites and it was stopped for a while but it is back now. So I was very happy to see that. I also really enjoy the honey peanut bars. But I understand that it’s gonna be changing in the future so that’s disappointing. I wish they wouldn't take away the honey peanut bars. I also really like the turkey and rice. I have a bit of trouble with the meatloaves and stuff like that that has sauce on it. But for the most part, it’s all very tasty. I like them all.

    I'm a 35-year Jenny Craig member and it's been very rewarding. The consultants are kind, considerate, understanding, and friendly. The meals are very tasty for the most part. Yet they could improve them further by incorporating some more fish items in the menu, and I'm talking about fish, not tuna fish. Also, I suggest they change up their menu more often. If one is on the program for any length of time, they may get bored with some of the selections. Still, I've been satisfied with how things have gone.

    I needed to lose weight because of my lungs but I fight every week to go back because Jenny Craig costs so much for the food. My one consultant, Katelyn, was very good. But she’s out of town in Louisiana training, so I’m having another consultant. She’s all right too, but not like the other one. The whole routine is hard to do when you don’t live with someone that’s not on Jenny Craig. But their food tastes good, even though it’s smaller quantity. It would be okay if everything you got from them supported the program, but you have to go and spend even more money to get vegetables, fruits and milk. I have a lifetime membership and that’s the only reason that I went back.

    Jenny Craig is doing well but it seems like I’m doing everything. When I went in ’94, they seemed like they cared more about the individual person, not just making money off the food. But now it feels like I’m just a number. I can go and buy meals like theirs at about $5 cheaper per meal at Weight Watchers or Smart One. But if you don’t do it, you get out of a routine and that’s one thing good about it, Jenny Craig makes reminders to keep you on the program. The program costs a lot but it works as long as you’re on it. You have to be careful when you get off it and on the maintenance because if you just start eating like a normal person, you’ll gain your weight right back.

I would risk not have those two pieces of pepperoni and have more.

    Their personal consultants were great. They were pleasant people. I can’t eat like normal people, and my failure is not reflective on them. I was able to do 800 calories a day, and I was able to lose weight. I was able to do that for two years. But at some point, I just stopped losing. Overall, I love Jenny Craig.

We lived in Stafford, Virginia for 30 years and we started going with them fairly early on, so we've been with them for a long, long time. We now live in The Outer Banks and there's not one Jenny Craig anywhere close to us. My wife even went to Virginia Beach once a week or once every couple of weeks to pick up food, but that was about an hour and a half of travel so that didn't work out. Then, we also get emails of coupons for free food and stuff if we joined and those coupons don’t do us any good since we're lifetime members. I blow them off, but my wife gets aggravated that we get those emails.

    As for their food, there have been certain things that we like from their selection, so we've tried to stick to what we like. That doesn't matter if it's for a month or a couple of months. But, if you start staying in the program longer than that, it gets old and it seems that you've already eaten the same stuff. Nevertheless, we like Jenny Craig. When we went to them, I liked my counselors especially one in particular.

    I was a member of Jenny Craig years ago. I went back to them for weight loss because their program worked the last time. My experience with them is a lot different now but they're the closest weight loss program we have in the area. You walk in, get weighed, and get your food. But I can see that the main thing is to get you in and get you out. Sometimes, they’re personable but they don’t have a lot of time and people schedule back-to-back.

    Even so, my program consultant, Monique, is very good. I see her once a week. Jenny Craig calls me every Thursday to make sure I’m still coming on Saturday. But a few years ago when I would go there my consultant would always call me and ask me if everything was okay, how I was doing, and if I had any challenges going on. I don’t get that contact anymore and that’s what I miss from the last time.

    Jenny Craig's food tastes very good. I’ve tried Nutrisystem and Jenny Craig's meals taste a lot better, although they are more expensive than Nutrisystem. The price could be a lot lower than what it is. I also would like them to have some deals going where I can get something at a discount, like a sale at a grocery store. When I first came on, they gave me a few weeks of discounted food and then that stopped. Still, I would tell people that the Jenny Craig program works.

    My experience with Jenny Craig has been fantastic and I love their program. I’ve been their client for the past 20-plus years back in Puerto Rico. This second time that I did their program has been better than the first time. I have lost 25 pounds. My personal consultant has become a friend. Every time that I go there, she understands me and I really like her. Although the cost of the meals is a little over my budget, the quality is fantastic, so I have to try to make it work once in a while. The quality of the food is even better from when I started back in the day. Jenny Craig is also approaching more the individual necessities of people, such as people that have Type 2 diabetes or gluten intolerance. I like that they have expanded their menu and nutrition to reach everybody and it's not only for one type of dietary needs.

    The only thing is that for people like me that are returning customers and have been loyal to the company, there should be a reward club or more discounts for the food would be great. That way, we would not feel like we have to stay away for one month because we don’t have the money for their menu because sometimes it can be expensive.

    I still have 10 more pounds to lose, but I know that it’s gonna happen little by little. Everybody at my work has seen the change in me and I always tell them that my health and moods are better. When a friend of mine, who has also been a client of Jenny Craig, saw how much I lost, she decided to come back to Jenny Craig.

    I wanted to get my lifestyle better. I've been off and on with Jenny Craig for about five years and when I work the program, it works perfectly and is extremely good. It fits my lifestyle. The overall quality of the food is good, also. There are a lot of options, but there are certain things that I don't eat so I'm more limited than someone else would be. But, I love it when they come up with new things.

    Talking with their consultants has been extremely good. They're very professional, but it's not like they're reading a script. They definitely personalize everything. I can tell when someone’s new because they sound a little bit like a robot and I’ve been very fortunate to have people who have been there quite some time. It's also nice to have a consultant that is non-judgmental and just kinda keeps encouraging even when I have fallen off the wagon. Since eating is all about what's in your head, food is what I turn to when I am under stress and the consultant understands that. I have recommended Jenny Craig.

    I had already done all the other weight loss programs and Jenny Craig was the only one that I had not tried. I liked the interaction I had with them and the structure of their program. I also liked that I didn’t have to make choices because I don’t do well with choices. I liked the consistency of the weekly meetings and that these were one-on-one. I liked the program and the group meetings of Weight Watchers as well, but the program of Jenny Craig was more personalized. I really felt like they had time to listen to just me and not just the group.

    Since using Jenny Craig, I’ve lost 65 pounds. My consultant, Jessica, calls me once a week because there’s no center in my location. We chat for a minute and I tell her how I did. She asks me if I had any challenges or if I have any challenges coming up the next week that she can help me plan for. I really wish there was a center in my area. I would much prefer to go in and pick up my food and not have to have it shipped. Also, I would like to meet with the person face-to-face and I really miss that. The closest center to my area is an hour away in Canton, Michigan. I had to go there once when they couldn't ship my food at the right time because of the holidays. At that time, I enjoyed being there with the person, even if Jessica is great on the phone.

    Since using Jenny Craig, I’ve lost 65 pounds. People would see me and say that I was doing great and that I looked so different, and they would ask me what I was doing. I would tell them about Jenny Craig, but when I explained that it was all done over the phone and that I had to order my stuff and have it sent, I could tell that they lost interest.

    But other than that, the food is good. Every other week, I order food to have it delivered. I do weeks one, two, three, and four. I eat everything they send me and some of my favorites are the simple ones. There might be one or two that are my least favorite and that’s because people like different foods, but they're all good. I like the bagel, the ham and cheese baguettes very much. I also like the breakfast burritos, the blueberry bars, and the barscotti. They all taste good.

    I’ve used Jenny Craig back in the early ‘90s and I lost 60 pounds. After I got pregnant, I went back and I lost 20 pounds from the pregnancy weight. I’ve been back and forth for a while, but I learned how to eat. Jenny was awesome, and I learned how to balance my nutrition, my physical activity, and emotional eating. The modules that I went through during the first program were amazing. When I find that I start to lose my way, I just go back. I get a little refresher and then I’m back on track again.

    My consultant, Monique, was fabulous. She has been an encouragement throughout any type of challenges that I might have. She checks in on me even now that I’m no longer part of the program. Jenny Craig has taught me how to eat properly, the right portion size, what type of nutritional values I should be looking for, the importance of physical activity, what kind of physical activity works best for me, and also, the triggers that make me go and reach for snacks because that is my weakness.

    However, their meals have gotten really small. When I had it before, the portions were small, but they have gotten even smaller. Some of the food tasted okay but it wasn’t enough to feel like I was even satisfied. For example, the meatloaf back in the day may have been 4 ounces but now it looks like it's only 2 ounces. I was supplementing it with more salad, fruit, Anytime Bars and Shakes, stuff I didn’t particularly care for. I preferred to have the meal be more substantial than have all these additional snacky type things to go along with it. Other than that, for a frozen meal, their food was very tasty. I particularly enjoyed the meatloaf and I liked the merlot beef. I also enjoyed all of the breakfasts that I had and I've tried pretty much everything. I didn’t care for the bagel because it was just a plain bagel, and if I’m gonna have a bagel, I want something on it. Whenever that was on there, I just sub that out because that just didn’t work for me.

    I liked my program better in the ‘90s, because in addition to getting the food and speaking with my consultant for 10 to 15 minutes, I had an educational piece that was missing this time. I pulled out all my old materials from the ‘90s and I refreshed myself on it. It wasn’t just getting the meals. For me, those two working together were essential for my success. The original program came with videos and audios. You visualize what your success was gonna look like and you even had groups. I didn’t go to the groups, but that was available if that was something you needed in addition and I thought it led to more success. So now, Jenny Craig is missing essential components for lifelong success. My sister went on Jenny, but she went on the program as it is today. All she did was eat the food and as soon as she stopped eating the food, she gained all the weight back. I never gained all my weight back because I learned how to eat.

    Tremendous success in the past with this program. Wonderful experience...unfortunately for me management changed and I had the displeasure of dealing with the new manager Brenda... With the first phone call (which she fabricates she spent an hour with me, which was more like less than 10 mins!) I recognized that this person would not be a good fit to be my consultant. Fair enough... I called back and had the pleasure of a last minute booking with another consultant much younger and a bit too eager to prove herself. Initial meeting went well until I explained I had Type 2 diabetes and was insulin dependent in the past. I was diabetic when I first signed up for the program in the past as well.

    This is where it went downhill FAST. I explained that I was no longer on Insulin and the manager Brenda walked in, clearly, my consultant felt like I was lying and they explained to me that I would HAVE TO be placed on the diabetic program. I explained VERY clearly I did not do well in the past on the diabetic program in fact that is one of the reasons I stopped Jenny Craig in the past. I explained what medicine I was taking and I was advised I would need a Dr's note. Um ok. This being a Sat I was not able to get a hold of my endocrinologist. So after a much heated debate on how I could NOT under no circumstances order from the classic menu which I always have. Apparently they did not want to be held liable and they needed my Dr's note to allow me to order from the classic menu.

    As I looked over at the monitor I saw the last entry almost a year ago and it read 'patient advised feet swelling' and that hit home I remembered the diabetic program consisted of way more frozen foods than I was used to I tried to explain that to my consultant and to Brenda but that did not convince her and she advised I could only be sold the diabetic menu. I was very eager to start the program acquiesced and paid and took my food. I started on Jenny on Sun and by that evening after 3 frozen meals my feet were swollen and painful to the touch. I work at a hospital so I showed a few nurses and they advised me to contact Jenny. When I called, Brenda was not in. However Heather who was and was very upset that I interrupted her appointment to speak to Brenda advised to call back. I called the Jenny customer service line and spoke to Renee and she told me I did not need a Dr's note in fact that was an old practice and outdated.

    When I signed up with Jenny a few years back I had signed a waiver saying I was fully aware of my condition and Jenny Craig was not liable and I was able to order from the classic menu. Renee was very efficient and advised she would call and have this sorted out and that I could contact Brenda and have this dealt with immediately. I waited a few hours and decided to call Brenda she was busy and returned my phone call 15 mins later which was fine. She looked up my account told me the same story she did before told me she could not replace my food and basically was unable to uphold or confirm what the call centre had told me. I was furious.

    So I called another location as I knew of a manager Judith **. When I called I had Marjorie answer. I explained the situation and she seemed sympathetic and I felt finally someone was listening! She told me should would contact Judith ** and ask her what steps to take moving forward. I received Marjorie's phone call about 10 mins later and her advice to me was Jenny Craig was not the right fit for me and that I should try Weight Watchers. I almost dropped the phone. I sat there at my desk feeling deflated all this run around and I am told to do weight watchers! Marjorie apologized profusely told me she was caught in the middle and did not necessarily agree however this is what she was told by marketing director Judith ** and that if I wanted to have Judith call me back she could arrange that. Why on earth would I want Judith to call me back? To reinforce what she so callously told someone else to tell me?

    As a marketing director I would have at the VERY LEAST this type of complaint warranted a personal phone call and explanation and hopefully a resolution. This was horrible. I called Jenny call centre once again as this was spiraling out of control and I spoke to Eric and he was sorry and so very helpful. I explained how desperate I was and how I needed to replace the food that was not working for me. I explained how I was given no choices no options and basically was forced into a program that I knew was not going to work. I know my body. I work closely with my health team. I understand what works for my body and what does not. But apparently that did not matter.

    I get an elated phone call by Brenda explaining how she has spoken to her nutritionist and they will make a HUGE exception for ME to ALLOW me to order from the classic menu which I had ordered all along. I do not think she spoke to a nutritionist because if that was the case she would have spoken to someone the day I came in for my initial consultation with them.

    When I questioned Brenda if she had any knowledge of diabetes she became so angry and told me to complain to whoever or whomever I wanted and that she has spent several hours with me which were a waste of her precious time. I was incredulous. When I asked her to replace my food she said absolutely not and I said there had to be some sort of compensation for the food I could not consume. I was not asking for money back. I was asking for my food to be replaced. It was a firm no and she made it very clear she did not care who I spoke to.

    So I called the Jenny Craig call centre and she told me she would have Judith ** call me. Well she has not bothered to call as of yet. I want a fair resolution to this debacle. I work hard I know what works for me and no it is ABSOLUTELY NOT OK or enough to BULLY people into purchasing products or programs that do not agree with them without proper knowledge and the empathy to understand a certain individuals preference and their wishes. I wish I could let this go. But I know this program works! I know I can succeed on Jenny and I will not stop trying to have my case heard. Oh and by the way I got that note for you from the endo!

    I have lost weight on Jenny Craig. My coach is wonderful. Because I don’t like a big portion of the food offerings (green and red peppers in nearly everything), she has allowed me to make lots of substitutions. What I recently noticed is that some of the portions have gotten smaller. The pizzas (which I like) are much shorter. And the peanut butter crunch bars (which I USED to love) have gotten narrower. They also changed the recipe for the peanut butter crunch bars making them barely tolerable. Instead of making portions smaller - I assume to cut costs - make something new that is smaller. Don’t mess with what you already have! I am so disappointed - especially about the peanut butter crunch bars! I won’t stop the Jenny Craig program - it is easy and helps you lose weight. But, I am disappointed that, once again, a corporation puts profit over its customers. If you need higher profits, raise your fees. Don’t give us less for the same amount of money.

    I was only on the program for 6 weeks. In those six weeks I only had one week where my order wasn't messed up. I would receive my week of meals, go through the packing list to see that I received everything. Then you go to the menu and make sure you received everything listed on your menu. I would be missing a whole day of food that I requested and they would substitute other food for the missing food. This is a lot of work on my part and isn't right that a person have to do this.

    The person who packs the boxes should be doing their job to make sure everything is right. I paid lots of money for this service and they didn't do their job. Also I was lead to believe that I shouldn't stress out about this. Well, when a company takes my money for a product it is unacceptable to have so many problems. Also, one week corporate didn't ship my box until the day I was supposed to receive it. That meant I was without my food for two days. Thank you, but no thank you.

I also after gaining back 35 pounds was told I should take a before picture. I got very insulted because no one ever took a before. I had to email them a picture on my phone and no one ever promoted me after. Now I gained back some and I didn't look good? I was very insulted. That was all it took! I also had no time to go to the counselors and was busy with work and I asked can I just get food and they said no.

    I didn't want to go back to the center because I didn't want someone again to tell me I should take a before picture. I also no time to go to a center. I work full time, etc. I asked if I could just order food and not go to center, I knew what to do. Then I got an email about Jenny Anywhere. The center I went to never told me and- I have a great counselor that doesn't take up time on the phone and since I started last Tue I am down 5.5 pounds in 5 days! Totally motivated again and am happy I can just talk to the counselor when I need to and order the food.

    Thanks Jenny for Jenny Anywhere but I will never go back to the centers. I was also was annoyed because the mgr lost all my measurements and I had lost 15 inches on my chest, stomach and waist with no proof afterwards. Very annoying. I think I will be able to take it off again and then go on maintenance. I don't need to go to a center and if I gain it back have someone tell me I should take a before picture.

    I started with Jenny Craig 20 years ago, but I considered myself a Jenny Craig dropout. One of my coworkers had started it, and I kept asking her if they still had certain foods and I kept looking at her packages. She told me I might as well go back, and I did. My personal consultant has changed. The one that I had that I connected really well with quit. But I love everyone there. They're great.

    I like the new foods that Jenny Craig comes out with, and I think they should come out with new foods every month. I was always cooking something different all the time. There are some things that I don’t like, but I will eat them if I absolutely have to. There hasn’t been anything that I've totally turned my nose up at. My favorite is the turkey sausage and egg burrito. We just came back from a cruise, and they had a burrito bar out there that made breakfast burritos and the one from Jenny Craig is better. Also, I haven't had a problem with the quality of the meals. If I open something that’s stale, I just bring it back, and it gets replaced without a question or problem. Jenny Craig helped bring out my adventurous side because I no longer have to worry about weight restrictions with things. Moreover, I started out in a size 22, and I have on a pair of size 8 jeans today. I have recommended Jenny Craig to a couple of people.

I was not losing weight for a couple months but she didn't want to come out rude, which I appreciate. She said, "Okay, let's talk about why we're not reaching it and what you might be overlooking." She keeps me focused and I appreciate that.

    I also like 98% of their food. I love the menu plan. I like the preset one, because then I don't have to think about making my own plan. That's probably the lazy way out but to me that works. I like the meatloaf and the Beef Merlot. I like the fish but they don't have a lot of fish so I wish they had more fish. I like the tuna and the chicken salad, because if I have an outing and I'm not sure what to do, I can take that with me. The baked potato is also good. The pizza is okay, but no matter how I fix it, the cheese and everything always melts on the plate. It's kind of a mess to clean up. But the chicken barbecue one is probably my least favorite. I also can't have chocolate and over 50% of their desserts are chocolate. So I get stuck eating a lot of the same desserts and same snacks a lot of the time. But I'm pretty happy right now.

    In a real world of healthy eating you are never going to eat a cinnamon roll or chocolate muffin for breakfast. We are told over and over again quality food choice per calories eaten vs empty calories. I'm 60 yrs old and active. I could lose 30 lbs to be happy. When they put that ridiculous menu in front of me I gasped. "What? I'd never eat that!" Why are they focused on junk food? Aren't they wanting to set you up to eat healthy food? You start your day eating a cinnamon roll then end it with Chocolate Lava Cake? I told my rep there is no way I'm eating this stuff.

    If I'm doing this diet I don't want all the junk food bars and cakes and muffins. Once in a while is ok but not every day. We modified my menu to be healthier for me. It is outrageously expensive to get itty bitty portions and then empty sugar-laden calories to boot. We will see how this works out. I see it being successful only because I put my foot down on the junk food they offered me, I'm eating very small portions, their meals and I'm going to be drinking a lot of water.

    I have a wonderful experience every time with Jenny Craig. I’m at a maintenance level now, so I go monthly and check-in with my personal consultant. The program has taught me how to eat properly, what I need to eat, and how to snack right. Also, I really like the menu plan, although there are some things I’m not too much of a fan. I like the pepperoni pizza and the fish and chips. Overall, their food is a lot better than Nutrisystem. I tried Nutrisystem before and I didn’t like it. On the other hand, the quality of the meals I’ve purchased from Jenny Craig has been great, although it would be good if there was a maintenance on how to do it on your own because I keep going back and forth. Every time I gain weight, I’m thinking that I gotta go back. I wish there was an app or a real-world experience because we can’t live in Jenny Craig world.

    My wife was on Jenny Craig many years ago and when I started with them two years ago, I was consciously optimistic. My personal consultant is very pleasant and encouraging. She tries hard, and mostly succeeds, at not using shame or guilt, which is important. She uses positive motivation and this time around, I have lost 40 pounds. I was really close to my goal too. But then we had a tragedy in the family and that messed everything up for a couple of weeks. It would be nice to have a few more choices on the menu though. We've been doing the program for more than five months so we've been through everything multiple times. They are also getting rid of some things like the steak which we really like. So that's disappointing. Still, the menu plan is pretty good. Jenny Craig is a very good and effective program if you can afford it.

    I first used Jenny Craig 20 some years ago, when I was 34 years old. Now that my life was not as stressful and busy, I'm ready to get back in it. I started with them again last April. I understood how the program works and I knew it would work for me. If people stick to their plan, it'll work for them but they've got to exercise along with it and not just stuck on their food. I lost 25 pounds since April and I was really happy with it. I really liked my consultant Dianne. I had about two weeks of food left and I said I don’t wanna get any more yet. She had cut me off pretty quick and she said that if I decided that I wanted to get back, I could contact her. Also, there were some things that I tried for the first time but I don’t want them again like the mono cheese and ravioli. I've made a list that two days ago of stuff that I'm ready to get back again and a list of things that I wanna substitute on the meal plans.

    I started Jenny Craig back in 2008 and I heard about them through a friend. I've been using them on and off and their program was easier. I didn’t have to weigh my food or count my points. Everything was done for me and all I do is heat up my food and eat it. And the food is really good. The egg omelet and the pancakes were my favorite breakfast and the hamburger or cheeseburger was my favorite dinner. My experience has always been good with Jenny Craig. It works for me and it has always been really easy to do.

    I reached the weight that I've never reached before. I've always been heavy all my life on and off. So this time, I reached 236, which was very upsetting to me, of course. I never reached that far. I was always like 205 or 210 back and forth. I went to the Granada Hills Health Center right next to my house. I thought that was very convenient. I used to go to the Culver City branch because it was next to my work.

    I met with the first consultant, but she told me right away that she was leaving for the next three months. So she wasn’t my consultant after two weeks. I was being bounced around from different consultants until I finally got one. Basically, I knew the program, but they told me about the new program and the rapid results. I was hesitant to try it at first but then I tried it.

    Dianne, my consultant, is great. She always asks me about how my week went, and I tell her. Of course, if there are negatives, she gives me some kind of guidance for the following week what to do and what not to do. Also, the meals are great. They're very satisfying. The one complaint that I wanna say though is that the amounts of money that I pay each week is too expensive. I know that should break it down per meal. Everybody eats outside. Again, I think it could be a little bit more cost-effective for the members.

    When it comes to food, I don’t like any of the beef. I'm not a big beef eater. There are beef and potatoes. But the cheeseburger is obviously nice. I'm also not a big fan of their steak and meatloaf. When I do get them, I would cringe when I'm about to eat it. I eat meat. I just don’t like it and the taste is not that great either. So I prefer the chicken and the turkey. I also wish that if the food has been refrigerated and not opened, the option to exchange it back for something else would be a good cost. It'd be cheaper for that week that I didn’t purchase all the meals. Just more of a discount program also like once you pass a certain weight. They used to have that program and it was nice.

    Jenny Craig has always worked for me so I’m a very big fan. I did it 10 years ago after I had my first kid. I’ve reached my goal but I still weigh in every couple of times a month and it has been good. I like my personal consultant, Janelle. She’s at the Palos Verdes location.

    I just found by accident that there was a Jenny Craig not too far from where I live. Between the ad and then seeing that it was right there I was off and running, and it's the best decision I made. If someone is struggling, they are out of their minds not to pick up that phone and make an appointment with Jenny Craig. The two women that I dealt with there, Fran and Katherine, are so friendly and so welcoming, and I love them. I was so hesitant but from the moment I walked in the door and met these people, they treated me like they've known me forever. Right away I felt at home and they were very supportive. They understood my problem and I was up and running

    My personal consultant, Katherine, is phenomenal. We talk about pitfalls and what to avoid. The last couple of weeks have been some kind of a plateau and I told her I'm not giving up and we'll work through it. What's nice about Jenny Craig is it's got people involved that have been through what you're going through so they kinda come back and explain to you really well. Whereas with other programs, you're not dealing with anybody -- you've got a 1800 number. With Jenny Craig, I have the encouragement every week losing weight. They ask me not to get disappointed if it wasn't as strong as I thought I was gonna be.

    Also I don't wanna be in a center where everybody coming in is 18 years old. With Jenny Craig we've got men that come in to the center where I go. It's all ages, all shapes and sizes, and very respectful of everybody who gets in there. It's a great little spot. I have been happy with the place, the convenience and the food. I've been on a history of diets my entire life. I tried another diet program and I had to send them all back the food. It was inedible. But with Jenny Craig the food is absolutely delicious. I could live on this food the rest of my life. It's so good. I've lost around 25 pounds since I started the program. I started to get back my confidence. I'm feeling better about myself and as a result I'm feeling better about everybody around me. I'm liking the compliments I'm getting and my son told me how proud he is of me. My husband is also so supportive. He drives me to and from Jenny Craig every week to try again and said I'm doing great.

    Right now, I'm on the express program. The menu is laid out for me and I follow. Probably, the only thing I dislike is the emphasis on some of the Mexican stuff, which I'm not a big fan of. But even then, you tell them what you like and what you don't like, and they work with your menu to give you substitutions. I come out of there and I'm all set for the week. The program is expensive, but for me, having tried out the things between gym memberships and other programs, this just works. It's worth every cent for me to get to where I wanna be.

    I wanted guidance and a place to start and I felt that Jenny Craig was more structured and organized than me trying to do a weight loss program by myself. They had a Lifetime Program 12 years ago and that was when I first did it. It was great and very helpful and I had a really good adviser. Then recently, I went back because after I had my son, I struggled. We tried to lose those last pesky 20 pounds. I work and I kinda switch days around. I work with the same person and she has been very encouraging and supportive. Also, I see the two ladies that are in the Manchester office and they're equally nice and supportive.

    However, there's a little bit of an issue with the time management. Most of the time, I don't get seen until 30 minutes after my appointment. They're so nice that they're trying to be flexible with taking people that walk in but then, it just affects the people that have appointments. Also, before, I could go and buy stuff online. If I wanted to, I could get the Anytime Bars or the dressings and stuff for when I travel. However, since they updated the website, I can't seem to find out how to buy those things that I used to get before and I cannot just go and buy two or three things.

    The results are great and I'm at the weight that I wanted to be. I mentioned it to them and I wanted to end the program. I got done with the program before and I know how to maintain. I lost 120 pounds when I first did it and I kept them off for eight years until I got pregnant. I tried to tell them that I wanted to close it right now as it is, but it was not done. I'm planning to go and tell them I'm done but it's very hard for me as I don't live very close to the center. Other than that, their meals were all delicious and the program makes it very easy for people to learn because I think it's a learning experience. It's not something that you just buy the food, eat, and then you stop eating, and then you gain the weight again. I recommend Jenny Craig to everybody.

    I had gained 30 pounds since I got on my Master's and I was unhealthy. I was staying up until 4:00 in the morning and I went to work. I had to get my body back. I needed to sleep regularly and get some balance. A friend of mine told me about Jenny Craig but I've forgotten that I was already a member so I got that discount. I used the program to where I was gonna show up a little bit and keep myself accountable and make it exciting. I like their emphasis on balancing. I was able to eat a perfect lunch and dinner. At times, I had hours and hours in between eating so, with the emphasis on the sleep time too and how many hours you have in between, that was good. I also never eat breakfast before and it helped me calibrate a little bit more.

    I didn't just wanna lose weight. I was trying to take the program with drinking a lot of water and exercise to get rid of all my wrinkles and the saggy stuff. The food was really interesting because I would savor the food and make it count. It was a really good experience because generally, I didn't expect the food to be decent at all. It was balanced and I liked it. The burger and the chicken are my favorites. I also loved the fajita bowls and the enchilada bowl.

    Jenny Craig has been fantastic and I've lost 35 pounds. However, I miss my girl, Crystal. I went through this journey with her but one day I came back, and she was gone. She was no hassle and we would just laugh. She didn't drive me crazy with the goals. Also, I haven't gone in a couple of weeks and I kinda needed a break. I've been meaning to go back but I've been super busy with a lawsuit thing. Other than that, I love the program and it's really healthy. I would also keep going back to Jenny Craig as I wanted to win their contest and I have submitted my stuff. I love the program in my life. People think it's expensive, but it's not. For me, it was like, "Wow! I treat myself like a queen having these great meals three times a day." Jenny Craig is fantastic!

    I joined Jenny Craig years ago and I just went back this year. I really liked their food and I had good results the first time around. I also tried a couple of things in between that worked then didn't. The quality of the food is great and I look forward to my desserts all the time. There are a couple of food that I tried that I really liked but I don't like pumpkin. I was entitled to the discounts in the beginning, but I could never get them because there are certain foods that I can't eat. I can do spicy, but I can't do the Mexican or Southwestern flavor. Beans are also terrible. I had to pick my food, so I never was eligible for discounts. I feel like I lost out on the discount, which was kinda crappy because I was buying it all, but I wasn't picking a full day because there were too many things that I really can't eat.

    When I first went back to Jenny Craig, my experience talking to them was great. I loved the Burlington office and my interactions with my personal consultant were excellent. She was great. I went years ago and I had a very good experience in my own doing. I lost the weight, but I stopped going. I started going back after that, but something didn't click with the person I had. Then I lost interest and stopped going. I went back this time and talked to a woman. I needed someone that would go in and be excited about how I did in the past week. When I'd go and think it was going to be bad, I'd find out that it would be good and she was very excited for me. Also, I didn't want to be lectured and they had done that.

    I've been going weekly now and my visits are still great. I've also lost 36 since rejoining. I was on vacation last week, so I skipped a week, but I'll be going back tomorrow. I stocked up on the food the week before and I asked her if I could start going every other week. She told me to hold off a little longer and I said that was fine and that it doesn't bother me. I enjoy seeing her and she gets excited when I come in. She is more of a friend to me.

    I was a client of Jenny Craig back in the early 90s when I was in the army and I was really successful. Now, I'm older and retired, I know that this is the program that I need to go to. I needed to lose weight. I found their local office and went there. I had a very casual and very comfortable interaction with them. I went in, weighed and everything went great. I was in and out quickly. Also, they are open really early so I can get my food out of the way first thing in the morning and then get on with everything else.

    I love their food. There are a good variety and a lot of new stuff since the first time I used it way back. And if there is something that I don't like, I can swap it out. My consultant immediately has a little list and she tells me that we can swap it out with another. It's fantastic. I love the pancakes and sausage for breakfast. I also love the cereal and the pizza is great too. Pizza night has always been Friday for me so I make sure that I eat that on Friday. The only thing though that I could not tolerate is the tuna and dill and I usually swap it out for the chicken salad and everything is fine. The meals’ quality is as good as anything that I would buy at the grocery and it's better than any other smart ones or anything else I've bought at the grocery. It is great for me because it is already prepackaged and pre-done. The flavor is good as well and I love it.

    I like the addition of the shakes so that I don't have to eat yogurt every day for my dairy because I'm not a milk drinker. When I first started, I did the basic plan and didn't do the shakes but when I tried them, it was fantastic. I also love the pre-portioned vegetable on the side, like the broccoli and cheese, so that I don't always have to be eating a salad or steaming up a bag of vegetables.

    I started the program at the end of April and I have lost 25 pounds and a lot of inches. I'm almost at my goal weight. I have four pounds to go and I don't want to get off because the food is so good. I have to maintain and do stuff for myself during the week. I get up at 5:00 am and I don’t go home until 7:30 pm. I go to bed fairly early and I don’t want to come home and cook. So, Jenny Craig is perfect for me right now and since it is almost over, I’m savoring every meal that I have. I love Jenny Craig and I have recommended it to a friend.

    I was in college when I went on a Jenny Craig program for the first time. I've heard about Jenny Craig through a friend and whenever I needed to lose weight, I would just come back around and do their program again. My interactions with their reps most recently have been really good. I went on the Rapid Results back in April and I lost 17 pounds. I stopped about a month ago though and I wasn’t quite halfway done. I couldn’t keep eating out of boxes and I just needed a little break. But I’m gonna finish at some point. I’ve wanted to step myself up, so I was trying to maintain on my own until then.

    I love the new Rapid Results program. I stayed on the program 100% and I had better results this time. Even if I didn’t like something, I still ate it as it was perfectly balanced for that day and there was a reason it was on the menu. But years ago when I was on the Rapid Results program, they’d hand me a menu and ask if there was something that I didn't like and that I wanted to have a substitute for. I did a lot of substitutions which screwed up the menu. So when I came back this time, I gave them that feedback and they agreed with me. Now they're starting to clamp down on substitutions and they’ve been telling people too. Overall, Jenny Craig's menu plan is really good. If you follow it, it works. That’s why I always keep coming back. I’ve tried a lot of diets and Jenny Craig has the best food.

    I have used Jenny Craig's program before and this is my third time that I went through it. I just made the decision just to go with it and I felt I would be comfortable with it and I'm glad I did. The menu plan was good and I like that every two or three months, they came out with a new menu item, which was really, really nice and something to try. What was great about it was that they have a great selection of all the different foods whether from breakfast, lunch or dinner and they were always trying to update. It was nice being part of that because you get exposed to some new foods and it's nice.

    The last consultant I’ve been working with, Shannon, has been really good for me. She helped me a lot and she was good in guidance. I went through the program over six months. I'm 75 years old and it has been a great experience. I'm just about finishing up now. I made my goal, so I'm just trying to stay on track. I've lost over 60 pounds, so I was very, very happy.

    I had done Weight Watchers and had become a lifetime member but I gained the weight back. I started with Jenny Craig about 14 years ago, had made really great progress and lost the first half of my weight rather quickly. I thought that I got this. I went off but then I came back. I’m so grateful that they do that annual fee that kept me in it so that even if I wasn’t consistently going, I knew I could always return to Jenny. That was a big plus. I also love that I just pay $69 a year, and because I did that, I was always grandfathered in. And since I did lose my weight, I now get 35% off my meals. It's awesome.

    At one point, I actually talked my husband into joining with me because I thought that would motivate me to lose the weight. But of course, as men do, he made his goal weight rather quickly and he’s been maintaining it for years now. I, on the other hand, still hadn't gotten to my goal weight. Then my mom passed away and I thought, “You know what? I’m gonna do this. I am going to get to that goal weight. My health, that’s what matters. That’s what’s important.” And I did. I got to my goal weight and I did fairly well.

    The summer months have been bad though. I just checked in and I’m one pound over. But I’m back on track and doing a full week of just Jenny. I’m determined to get right back to that goal weight and maintain. The people at Jenny Craig are all wonderful too. There were one or two that I wasn’t jelling with so I would just go to people that I felt more in sync with. And Becky, the manager, was really understanding

    Jenny Craig also gives me good meal options although they can be better. I would love to see more organic options, especially when it comes to chicken or beef. I’d rather eat free-range chicken or grass-fed beef, and I would be willing to pay the extra, knowing that what I’m putting in my body is healthier. I don’t know where their beef comes from and that's why I tend to shy away from most of the beef meals. I wanna know that it comes from the USA. It would make me more apt to choose more beef products if I knew that. Even if you go to the grocery store, it might say grass-fed on the beef but some will say USA and others will say Uruguay. And I don’t want beef from Uruguay.

    I would prefer more plant-based menus too, or more non-meat options. If I can get more non-meat options, I tend to do that more often than not, like meatless chili. Jenny Craig does a great turkey chili and they can just remove the turkey and put in more beans. Those are easier things so that they might reach a bigger market of people who are more conscious about that.

    I was on Jenny Craig a long time ago, and lost all my targeted weight and kept it off for two years. It's been a long time and I need to lose some weight again, so I decided to go back. Some of my old favorite recipes (the Chicken Fettuccine for example, which was one of the things that kept me on the program last time) has been changed and is really not at all as good as their old version. I had hoped to be able to stay on the program, but I'm not sure yet. Many old favorites (Chicken Fajita) are gone. So far the new food I've tried is o.k., but I really miss the old, good recipes.

    My daughter was in high school and she was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. She was very upset, and she started gaining weight because it was very difficult. She was very conscious of herself in high school. My daughter joined the Weight Watchers and then she said she wanted to join the Jenny Craig program. I asked her if she's sure because she was very young then. She said it will be planned and they have food. So I said okay. Luckily, I can afford it. So she made an appointment. Then she became a lifetime member. She got so many gadgets. She got a $300 scale and bag. She was very happy with the plan.

    I have reached 55 and when you get into menopause, you gain weight. So I thought maybe I will also try the program so I went to Jenny Craig. I bought the food and it works. I enjoyed their pizzas, lasagnas, and popcorn. I like their breakfast with the coffee. And now, there are muffins. I don’t like mostly pork and the beef. I like to have chicken dishes or vegetarian. Also, Weight Watchers was very difficult for me and Jenny Craig was easy. The interactions with them were very good as well. They're all good people. The menu was also okay. Now, they have a different one. They are advertising that 16-pound in four weeks and that you have to have fasting for 12 hours. I was losing 2.5. That was normal for me. I have a thyroid problem as well.

    The program with Jenny Craig has been very good and the people are very nice. You go there, they greet you, and all the people who works there all listen to list your request. I have been dealing with them for 15 years off and on. I have also recommended Jenny Craig to one of my friends. She's 58 and she lost 15 pounds. She's a physician too. She said she was on a diet. And the hospital have their nutrition thing, but she was not doing well. I told her that if she doesn’t have time to cook, she should go and buy the food from Jenny Craig. And she loved it. First, she joined Nutrisystem. The food was not good. Nutrisystem sent dry food for three months. So she's very happy with Jenny Craig, and I'm very happy too. I always recommend to people that if they need to lose weight, go to Jenny Craig.

    I went to Jenny Craig when it was set up a little bit differently. I had a good six months of their program back then, but it was a little hard to hang on to the calorie content and everything was a little short. Last year, I hurt my back and I wasn’t able to exercise. I stopped going to Jenny Craig and I told my consultant, Kelly, that I was in too much pain and I couldn't do the program. But I told her that I would try to keep my weight down. When I finally had my little procedure and everything to get me back on my feet, I gained seven pounds back, though it wasn't really bad. Then I called Kelly up and told her I was coming back. At that time, I lost about 14 pounds and gained a few back. Then early this year, I went back and lost another 16. So, I’m still not at my goal, but right now, I’m under a maintenance program where I go see Kelly once a month and get weighed, so that way it keeps me on task.

    I always find myself going back to Jenny Craig and this is my fourth visit back. My body responds to their program and it has been very successful for me. Plus, their food is very good and the menu plan teaches you how to eat in moderation and you don’t have to starve to death. I’m sure I could buy very comparable and a lot cheaper meals from other companies, but Jenny Craig's menu plan works, so why try to fix something that isn’t broken. I also follow the plan to the tee. I’m there for a reason, which is to lose a few more pounds, and I don’t usually go off of the menu. But if there is something that I don’t like, I tell Kelly that I won’t eat that, so I need to exchange it for something else and there is never a problem.

    I like Kelly. She is very good and she knows that I’m there to get the job done. She knows that the program is gonna be successful and she encourages me that way. I don’t really need a lot of encouragement and I’m my own best critic. And if I get to the point where I feel that my body has responded to pretty much the way it was gonna be, I try a couple of different ways to go and Kelly helps me with that. If it works, that is good. If it doesn’t, we try something different. And sometimes, I’ll rearrange a menu or if I feel myself getting a little bit bored, I'll change things up. When I tell Kelly about it, she just goes with the flow and is not pushy. I keep a journal, too, so I always tell Kelly what I’ve been doing for the week.

    Before, Jenny Craig had meetings and I went to a few of them when I first started. But after a while, I told my consultant that I wasn't going to them anymore because the people there truly depressed me and didn't motivate me. They were there to fool themselves and they thought that by eating a little bit, they could have a piece of cake everyday. They always had an excuse why they didn't lose weight and they didn't understand that going into the program requires total devotion.

    As time has changed, the meetings were kind of put on the wayside. In fact, there were a lot of things that Jenny Craig changed. Back then, the program was a little harder because the calorie count was very low. When I first started it was 950 calories and that was almost a starvation diet. But I lost 30 pounds and it was fun to lose the weight, though it didn’t really teach you how to stick to it and eat because the menu was a lot different. Now, the menu plan is so easy to follow.

    They got quite a bit of food and I like the flexibility. I bought a lot of pasta and grilled chicken sandwiches from them. They also got cheeseburgers and pretty much everything that you would ordinarily go to eat at a fast food. But their stuff is grilled and served in smaller portions. I love the turkey burger, too, and I could eat those every day. These days, there are so many programs that have a lot of shakes and boxed food. I also tried Nutrisystem and they had a lot of soups and smoothies but they didn't satisfy me. It was easy to sit down, make a little salad or have an extra bowl of some vegetables along with your meal and by the time you get done with that, you’re definitely full. But that is not the case with Jenny Craig.

    If you wanna get healthy, you need to go to them. But going into the program is a commitment and you really got to be ready to do it. You’ve got to be realistic, too. If you’re not, then it’s not gonna work. You will struggle but unless you don’t like eating, maybe it is not what you need. Also, getting into their program is a little bit costly, so a lot of people can’t take advantage of that. But you can’t put a price tag on our health. If it is something that is gonna help you reach your goal, then you gotta bite the bullet. I tell people that if you’re gonna spend that much money, you’ve got to be ready to do the program.

    So when I’m sitting in the waiting room to see Kelly and somebody new would ask me how the program works for me, I would tell them that I lost about 20 something pounds and that they just had to stick to the menu, learn what they can add and change things up. I also tell them that they've got to eat all of the food and not not eat. When my husband went on with me and being the male, they gave him a few extra hundred calories. Within a couple of weeks when he went back, he told them that he couldn't eat all of the food and they had to drop some of them. And he lost 15 pounds within a few weeks, so it worked for him, too and he is a believer.

    For me, Jenny Craig has always been a godsend. If I gain 10 or 15 pounds back, I can always go back there and within a few weeks, lose the weight because their program puts me back on track. And I’ve appreciated them being there and letting me come back. So far, my friends see Jenny Craig's effect on me and my appearance and weight loss sells the program to them. They are amazed at how easy the weight comes off me.

    I had been on the Jenny Craig program three times before. Then, I had weight loss surgery and after that, I was not watching what I was eating so I went on Jenny Craig again. I started the diet in September last year and I have been on it over a year now. I have never cheated and have lost 57 pounds. I have a really good personal consultant and we talk about a bit about maintenance as I do not know whether I wanna lose more than I already have or not. He has been at the weight loss center for a while and my experience with him has been good this time.

    My attitude has changed and I feel better since starting with Jenny Craig. I also go to Curves at least three times a week to go with my eating correctly. I have been on other weight loss programs but Jenny Craig is a lot better. Their food tastes good and I like their meals. There may be some things that I don't particularly care for and we just substitute them for something else. They have been good however, it is one of the expensive programs. That aside, my experience with them has been positive and I thank the good Lord that he gave me this last opportunity to make myself the best that I can be.

    My husband and I ordered a month's worth of food from Jenny Craig before meeting with a rep. They said to order the food first, then speak with a rep about our menu plans for each day. Very expensive processed food. I was appalled by what I saw on the labels. Of course you can lose weight because you are only eating 1,000 calories a day for women and 1,500 calories a day for men. Unfortunately, the calories are not from good, natural food. Once you start eating normally, you will put all the weight back on. You can do better doing your own shopping.

    They have you eat cinnamon rolls for breakfast - totally empty carbs. Instead have an egg, slice of wheat toast and 1/2 apple. Same calories, but so much better for your health. That will cost you less than $1. Instead, you pay $3 for small unhealthy cinnamon rolls that don't provide any nutritional quality. Chicken in the meals is processed chunks. Who knows what else besides chicken is in those chunks. Compare the Jenny Craig soups with Campbells. You pay 4 times more for Jenny Craig than getting a can of soup at the store.

    I did Jenny Craig 10 years ago and I have always liked it. I am not a very disciplined person and I hate cooking. Put it in a box, let me put it in the microwave and I will eat it. Jenny Craig had portion control for me. However, I did not stay on it for the entire 10 years and when I realized I needed to go back and lose some weight, I knew Jenny Craig worked for me. I went to their facility and I told them that I need to do the program again so we started right back up as if it was 10 years ago. When I did it on the phone the last time, I kept getting new people all the time which I did not like. I also got the food delivered. But now because I have retired, I go into the facility and I have the same fabulous woman consistently since I started.

    Their menu plan is great. It is not fine cuisine but it is edible and I’m fine with it. My all-time favorite is the cheesy potatoes. I would order that in a restaurant. I also love the enchilada bowl and the lava cakes. However, my progress has been slower than I expected. It gets a little slower to lose weight as you get older. But I'd recommend Jenny Craig.Also. It's expensive but not everybody is in a financial position to afford it which is kind of a shame. I wish there was a way to do this where it would be more accessible.

    I’ve been doing Jenny Craig for 30-40 years and I’ve recommended them to people. There wasn’t a whole lot of choices back then when I started with them but I like having things done for me. I don’t like to cook as I’m not a cooker. Since I started back up again, my results have been really well. I’m a smaller person and I weighed 150 when I came in. I don’t get around so much as I have an injury, so it’s very important for me to keep my weight down. I had a really fast weight loss and I'm now 139 when I weighed in. I like most of the food and I like that particularly at this point I choose which days I get the food. Also, while the people at Jenny Craig have tried to extract more information on me than I give them, they are always wonderful.

    Jenny Craig was local and I knew I could get fresh food from them. I didn’t have to count points which was too much work. This is the second time I’ve gone with them, and I lost 50 pounds the first time. My coordinator is great and I love her. We became friends and it’s nice. She gives good advice and if you follow it, you will lose weight. I made my goal last February and I’m just on maintenance now. There are some things I definitely don’t like in the menu, but I like the chicken and mashed potatoes, the Salisbury steak that they have, the hamburgers and the new one that they have out with the enchilada bowl.

    I don’t doubt this diet works. The counselors I met were extremely nice and did do a follow-up call. The food taste just fine and is portion controlled. However, the cost is prohibitive to me since I am on Social Security. I could not afford to do this long-term enough to lose the weight I need. In addition since I am on a beta blocker, I believe it interferes with the ability to lose weight which seems to be counterproductive.

    I liked that Jenny Craig had meals. Some were frozen and some were not. At the time, my first experience, that was what it was. My more recent one when I’ve gone back, there was the idea of the rapid weight loss program. The personal consultant that I've been working with is very encouraging. He's very gentle. If I have gained weight, he's like, "that happens." He doesn't really push me. When I lose weight, he's very enthusiastic and always willing to talk about things to do that might help with my weight loss. He’s a wonderful salesperson for Jenny Craig. He’s a great guy and it’s hard not to like him. I never feel like I failed with him.

    Since using the Jenny Craig program this time around, it's been great. I’ve lost 25 pounds and 17 inches and I’ve maintained it now for three months. So, we go back every week and I weigh in. I also have asthma and my breathing’s gotten better too. My cholesterol’s gone down 50 points as well. So, it’s been fabulous for me, health-wise and self-concept-wise. It’s just wonderful and life-changing.

    The menu plan is good. But after a while, it gets boring because I'm eating the same food. There are certain foods that I like and I get them. Breakfast meal’s great and the desserts are fabulous. I’m very happy with the meals that I stick with and I’m able to maintain with those. But there are meals that I really don’t like and sometimes they discontinue meals that I really do like. But I'm successful and once I've hit goal, they’re not as rigid as far as having to follow an exact menu. So, that helps too. People have noticed my results and they ask me. And I will recommend Jenny Craig.

    It never fails...I don't like everything on the Jenny Craig program, but the few things I do like, they change -- and trusts me, it's not for the better. The fettuccine Alfredo was one of my favorites. It was creamy and the chicken was tender white meat. Tonight I ate watery Alfredo with rubbery chicken. I called customer service and sure enough, the recipe has been changed. The same can be said for the meatloaf. They are delivering a inferior product for the same money and we all know that it's very pricey to begin with.

    Pretty soon, I will have few choices if they continue to cheapen their meals. The customer service person suggested that I call and check on changed recipes before ordering. Wow! That's my responsibility? How about Jenny Craig be honest and forthright and tell the customer that the recipe has changed on the website. I don't know what my future is with JC. It's far too expensive to pay for poor quality food. If I wanted cardboard and rubbery tasting food, I can purchase that at the grocery store for a fraction of the cost.

My personal consultant is very understanding and supportive and she puts me on track when I start to go off track. She also sticks with my "no onion" rule because I cannot stand onions and she is so accommodating with it.

    I like the menu plans a lot. I love the chocolate cake and the lemon cake, and the cheesy chicken and mashed potatoes are my favorite dinner. They are of great quality. I just wish that the Key lime pie would come back because that was amazing. However, I don’t like a lot of the pantry items. They smell like MRE to me and I cannot deal with the pantry.

    I used Jenny Craig back in 2007, then I went back a few months ago and it has been great. I’ve been with them since March and have lost close to 30 pounds, which is great. I’m on the Diabetic 2 program and they took me off of the insulin. They put me on oral medication and I feel much better. Plus, I’m maintaining my weight, even though I missed last month.

    Even though I’ve been traveling a lot, Jenny Craig's program was really easy and the food tastes better. Their meal plan was great and I liked the fact that I could pick and choose what I want. I liked going through it weekly and setting up my schedule. I live an hour from my work and it was great that I’m able to put the meals in the bag and take it with me, which kept me on track. I loved the ham and Swiss baguette, the breakfast sunshine sandwiches, the quiche thing, the meatloaf, the bagels, the pancakes, and the waffles. I also loved the desserts.

    Jenny Craig's program is very simple and the food is good. The people that I’ve had have been phenomenal. I’m not very good at being disciplined, going in on a regular basis. I’d go in for two or three weeks, and then I’ll just do my own thing and then get busy. When I go in, the consultant greets me. We’d chat for a few seconds and she weighs me. Then we sit down, and we talk more at length about what my prior week looked like, as well as what the challenges for the following week and what my focus is gonna be to stay on track.

    I recently bought the barbecue chicken burrito and I have purchased a whole menu. The last time I was in it, I did the Rapid Results menu. I liked the chicken fettucini alfredo. I’ve done the Baja-style chicken quesadilla and the cheesy potatoes and chicken. The quality of the meals has been good. However, there have been a few things that have been taken off the menu that we’ve wondered why because they were things that were really great. We’ve not been super happy with the changes, but it’s just an item or two that has been discontinued. The portions of the items have also seemed to have gotten smaller, for example, the chicken sandwich or even the cheeseburger.

    The prices have also gone up. Way back when I started, I was part of the one that you’d get 30% off if you reached your goal weight, and then you could keep it. And somewhere along, I failed to renew for the $40 a year and that dropped off. As a result, when I’ve gone back after being gone for a while, they’d go, “Come back, and we’ll give you $10 off of a week for the first six weeks.” But if I’m on it for longer than six weeks, then that drops off. For brand new people, that’s offered. But then after that, you don’t get any kind of incentive for staying with the program, even though you’ve been with them for years. Other than that, the results of the program have been good and if you follow it, it works.

    I have a lifetime membership with Jenny Craig. I started when I was a teen and I first started because a friend of mine joined. She was working there. I've had great and very necessary interactions with the consultants. They definitely keep me accountable. I started again in January. The results were quick because I was on Rapid Results. Since then, I’ve been off-and-on maintaining. I set two goals and I hit them, so I’m just maintaining now. Jenny's menu is great. My schedule is so jammed every day that to have to think about what to eat is always a struggle. With Jenny and the menu and knowing what to eat every day, it makes it easy to be successful. The meals that I’ve purchased were very good. In the past, I tried Smart Ones and Lean Cuisine but I always come back to Jenny Craig. I’ve always liked Jenny’s foods.

    Recently, a great way that I’ve been making my appointments with my consultant is someone was reaching out by text. That’s really great and very helpful because sometimes I’ll call the center and I’ll get the voicemail. They’re like in back-to-back appointments, so it’s hard for them to answer their phone. If the appointment reminder comes through, it would be great if they could send me a text about it. Even an email would be great. It would be helpful for the consultants as well because I know that they spend so much time just calling their clients to remind them. I recommend Jenny Craig all the time.
