Jenny Craig Reviews

Jenny Craig has always been my go-to. I started with them 12 years ago, and I've been going back every couple of years. Initially, I joined to lose the weight that I gained when I got married. Then I trained. So, whenever I would train, I would use Jenny Craig. Then I recently went back again because I had gained some weight after quitting smoking.

I joined Jenny Craig a few years ago and I joined them a second time because I liked having my own counselor that I talk to every week. I had Sarah this latest time and I really like her. She helped and equipped me to overcome any obstacles that I had and cheered me on. I also liked the menu plan. It was nice to write what I was gonna eat and plan it all out. That helped a lot. I planned what I was gonna eat, and then I got their shipment and then I planned it again. I had it planned every week and had it on my fridge. The meals were easy to do. I could just stick the meal in the microwave. I liked anything with potatoes. I liked the chicken bowl where it had potatoes in it and veggies. I also liked the spaghetti and meatball meal, and the breakfast was good. I like the variety of food.

I love Jenny Craig. I used them 25 years ago and I lost so much weight and kept it for long. I was very happy about it, so I bought the lifetime membership. This time, I went back because I went overweight. I also have diabetes and all kinds of problems because I’m older. The progress took longer because my metabolism is slow now but I lost around 28 pounds and I’m very happy.

I used Jenny Craig years ago and then I came back to them. I’ve been using them constantly for the last eight months. My personal consultant has been wonderful. She understands what I’m going through and she is very supportive. If I feel like stalling, she’ll give me ideas on how to make the progress go faster. I lost 90 pounds this time. I like some of Jenny Craig's food, but there are some that I don’t like. I’m glad that I could do three changes. When I see the things that I don’t like on the list, then I could make the three changes. I also do not like their oatmeal cookies. I like the oatmeal part, but I don’t like the white sugar part. I tried to get it off, but it’s hard to get off. It’s too sweet. I would like new food more often. They're changing it often but they may add two or three new items. Other than those, I like everything that’s going on with Jenny Craig.

I've been a Jenny Craig member for a long time now and I've had very good interactions with their team. With the last program I joined in April, I’ve lost almost 30 pounds and I’m maintaining. Their meal options are really good and I enjoy the majority of it but now that I'm on maintenance, it's even better because I can pick what I want. I also like the fact that I can go between two consultants. I've dealt with Tanner and Renee and that has worked really well. I don't have to repeat the same one because they have different ideas.

I'm a lifetime Jenny Craig member. I really like their program. When I'm in it, I lose weight and when I'm not, I gain weight. The food products are varied and they are good and very satisfying. However, they have a lot of products with scrambled eggs and I don't like scrambled eggs. During my weekly visits, I would pay for the food, go in, weigh, and sit down and have a consultation about the proper food to eat and the best time to eat them. I like their consultants. They are very informative. They know exactly what my body needs and they are there to give me the courage and inspiration that I need to keep going.

Rejoined 2018, previous customer in 2011. Not have a lot of weight to lose, only 10 pounds. Here's what I experienced: Food quality seems low. Diet relies heavily on dairy products not provided — cottage cheese, string cheese, yogurt. I don’t eat many dairy items. Taste of many of the products is not good — bars and shakes taste like vitamins and smell medicinal! Personally, I don’t eat sweets in the morning, so muffins and rolls are of little interest to me. Measurements are odd — how do you measure “2 cups of salad” as opposed to by the weight? 1-½ cups of vegetables versus X number of ounces of them? JC touts “helping you create new habits and a healthier lifestyle.“ — how so? A diet like this, half of which is protein bars, shakes and dairy products, is not sustainable in the real world.

I originally started with Jenny Craig when they were Diet Center and at the time, they were offering wonderful things. They used to do lifetime memberships and I purchased one, so I got reduced rates forever. I have been with them all of these years and I enjoy their program. I like my personal consultant a lot, but their role has diminished since the beginning. I used to have a personal consultant and they were there full time, but now, they have pared back a lot in their offices, so they only have possibly one person in their office. The things are not as convenient as they used to be.

I quit smoking and put on weight and when I first started Jenny Craig, I went from 170 down to about 128 with no problem at all. I go to them periodically and the person I worked with has always been really good. They’re all very nice and I can get in touch with them all the time. They have their own menu that you can follow. However, they have changed the menu, which really messed things up. I used to eat their Mesquite chicken, meatloaf, and Salisbury steak. But they redid all of their meals and it doesn’t taste good. I know a lot of people that I talked to that go in and out of Jenny Craig, and they remember the Mesquite chicken and said that it was really good. For some reason, they put all this stuff with the mashed potatoes and mix everything together but not everybody wants it that way. Other than that, I would recommend Jenny Craig. If you wanna lose weight, go to them and follow their menu plan.

I am a lifetime member of Jenny Craig. The program works if it is followed. I had not been on for several years and I recently went back. I was feeling really bad because I had gained a lot of weight back, but the people at Jenny Craig were warm and supportive. My original personal consultant had been on the program herself. I need to go in on Sundays because I work really long hours during the week. The other consultant that I’m with now is super sweet and great, and she has been there forever because she likes it, not because it’s just a job. When I went back, I had a goal. I hit the first 30 pounds and I kept setting goals. So, in a little over six months, I’m at 60 pounds.

A few good things to say before I get into the meat of my review. First, the program works if you follow it. My wife lost 29lbs and I lost 14lbs in the 6 weeks I've done Jenny. The other benefit is the convenience of having your meals mostly planned out for the week. That's the program, the execution lacks so much to be desired it's unreal.

I was a client of Jenny Craig years ago and I had good success with that. although I had not done the maintenance program when I lived in Florida and in Virginia. I loved the food and the counseling, but at that time, I had three children and I couldn’t afford to stay on the program, so I went out. But when I went back on it, I decided this time I would be 100% committed to it and also do the maintenance. I’m in it full force right now. My personal consultants are Elena and Ann and they are absolutely wonderful and very good. I’ve had some tragedies in the family, some deaths, and they have not only been supportive of the weight loss but also have been understanding. I was able to stay with their encouragement and I have to give them credit for that. I was able to stay with the program and staying with the program made it a very positive thing that was still happening for me.

I love Jenny Craig. When I started I had not weighed myself in a long time and was shocked... I lost 13 pounds 1st go around and took a break due to some stuff I had to deal with namely I couldn't get into the center (caring for a family member). I should have had food delivered in hindsight. When I went back on Jenny I'm down again 6 lbs. I love the food. It's very delicious. I do struggle with hunger but a huge salad mid day really helps me. I love my counselor, no, now she's my friend Rita. I admit I cheat here and there: husband's birthday cheat, church potluck cheat, but my last Jenny counselor who was great too gave me great advice. She advised don't consider the whole day a loss just that meal get right back on track, it helped me a lot. Get right back on track.

I've been a member of Jenny Craig for several months. Until about 6 months ago, I was very pleased with the program. I had a good coach, the food was fine, I was losing weight and everything was handled well. When I'd come for my appt with my coach, there were usually 2 coaches on hand and someone was at the front desk to say hi and answer questions, as well as to prepare the bill for that week's food. I chose to have the food delivered (for a fee) and the delivery service was very good. But little by little, things changed. There's no one at the front desk now and when I walk in, my coach is usually alone there.

I was off to a good start but encountered a problem with the amount being charged for 7 days of food vs 3. Had to do with weigh in day and food purchase date being different. I was charged extra for 3 days not knowing about the discount for 7 days of food purchased. I asked for this to be made right and have heard nothing. I’ve spoken twice with customer support and was told I’d hear back within 48 hours. I’ve heard nothing from anyone at Jenny Craig. Plenty of other options and obviously better customer care.

I have been on the program for 3 weeks and have only lost 4 pounds and have been very hungry most of the time. Whenever I go for my weigh in, my counselor seems very busy and rushed, even though I am the only person there. When I was there last, I was very discouraged and my counselor knew that, and she did not offer any encouragement. I also found out that measurements should have been taken on the first visit which should have lasted approximately 40 minutes. (One of the reasons I pay a lot of money for this program, is the personal touch from the counselors.) That did not happen. I have talked to the center about it and hope my further visits will be more empowering. Will keep everyone posted.

I tried the Turbo Boost program with some success. I took a break as I wasn't enjoying eating what felt like airplane food for a month. After a couple of months, I tried to buy more food and had nothing but difficulty. After speaking to multiple people I was told because I was already on the program only my counselor could send me more food. She never contacted me back. Oh well, good thing there are other programs out there.

I had minimum success with JC for 8 weeks (13 pounds) and was following the program diligently. I have since switched to a different weight loss program. I am still being charged a monthly membership fee of $19. This needs to be canceled ASAP.

I've talked on the phone with them and was supposed to get a text and email. Never did. I went to talk to them in the center. I told them I'm not sure I can afford it so never got to talk to anybody. The lady at the desk told me to go to Weight Watchers. I was shocked. I went back online. Talked to a salesperson and he said he call me to talk in over and talk to a counselor, well he stopped chat and didn't call me back. They didn't even give me a chance to see if they could come up with a program I can afford. Very disappointed.

I used Jenny Craig several years ago. I got my lost weight goal the first time around and I maintained it for a long time. However, I went off track and recently I decided to go back to their program. It's convenient since everything is pre-planned for me. I've done both the one where you call them and they ship your food to you and the in-person consultation. I like the latter better, even though the phone call was a lot more convenient. It's a lot more personal and the people are trained better than the ones on the phone.

I wanted to be a better me and so I signed up with Jenny Craig. My interactions with the reps were good. Everybody I've dealt with has been very nice and helpful. I've used the program off and on for years. Right now, I'm not on it but when I have used the program, I lost weight. I haven't had any problem losing the weight but I got burned out on the food, eating the same ones over and over. I was on it about four months ago. Even so, I got to be able to choose what I liked after a while. I wrote down things I didn't like so then I could choose what I did like. I was a big big chocolate person and then I always liked the pastas. I didn't really like the soups though.

Jenny Craig was local and I didn’t wanna do a weight watchers group. I was drawn to one on one as opposed to weight watchers or a group, so I decided to work with them. My very first interaction with their reps was good and I enjoyed my personal consultant. She was encouraging. I had used Jenny Craig before and this time, I have been using their weight loss program for a year and I am three-fourths of the way there. The meal plan is good and I like all of it especially the baked potato. Overall they have a good program.

I was with Jenny Craig for two years. The rep I dealt with was very knowledgeable and helpful. I had an appointment, went in and talked about the week prior and the week coming up. I like their structure and the weekly weigh in. In regards to their meals, they had yellow for breakfast and green for lunch, but I didn't like that they mixed them all together and I didn't like their tuna kits. In addition, the meal plan was a little too structured. They need more flexibility built into the program to be able to incorporate my own food because then, I'd get stuck on their food. I'd try to prepare my own and I'd get lost. Also, the meals were too expensive, so I stopped. Other than that, the quality of the meals was good and the biggest thing I came away with was I learned the 'portion control' where I can have my sweets as long as they're portion controlled and timed out. Overall, I had a great experience. I made a good progress and I'm maintaining my weight.

I went to Jenny Craig the first time with my girlfriend back in the ‘90s. Jenny Craig was easy and my experience in dealing with their personal consultants was always good. The one in Oakland was very sweet and upbeat. She was very supportive and she gave me ideas and encouragement. Since then, the meals have been quite good. I like the pasta dishes like the mac and cheese or the fettuccine Alfredo. The desserts are small but good nonetheless. I'm not a good dieter and it has nothing to do with Jenny Craig. I will lose a bunch away then I'll get off and gain it back and then lose it again. The positive thing is I didn’t get enormous. They were always trying to keep me in check.

The Jenny Craig rep I dealt with was pleasant and knowledgeable, but it is odd that she's very overweight. I’ve been using Jenny Craig's program since March and it's not going that well but it's my own fault. I do not like that the menu plan feels rigid. I'm on the one that’s 1,200 calories a day and I’m supposed to eat less at night. I wish there was a more flexibility in it. But for the most part, the food is fantastic and delicious.

I’ve been doing Jenny Craig on and off for years. I’ve been with them after I had my first son in ’96. I like the program and I know I’ll lose weight if I do the program. Recently, I did the Rapid Results and while it worked really well for me, I had some problems. They are so rigid. On the Rapid Results menu, if they are out of a food, they let you change two things but they make you count those two things because they’re out of the food but it’s not my fault that they are out of the food. I’ve even called them and told them that and that part frustrates me. So, I’ve taken a break and I was gonna go back after my birthday in August.

My experience with Jenny Craig has been good. It was through my mom that I first heard about the company. The reps were motivating and they seemed to fit my needs. They were friendly and I felt comfortable. I don't like a lot of coaching so I made them aware of that. I'm pretty self-motivated, so they worked with me with what I needed. I liked the portioned meals and the fat plan per week. The mac and cheese and some of the desserts were really good. The food was good and I felt success from the plan overall. I used Jenny Craig three or four times over a 10-year period and it worked. But then it became a little too costly for me at the end so I had to give up the program. Jenny Craig checks in with me every now and then. If it were a bit more cost-efficient, I would be able to do it.

I've done Jenny Craig in the past and it worked. Then, I got to a point where I needed to lose weight and I went back to Jenny Craig. Their representatives are both great girls. I've only been there since February and I've reached my goal. They are the reason that I'm down 35 pounds. They pushed me forward. I look forward to the weekly visits and I told them that they are the highlight of my week. We laugh and have a really good time. Right now, I’m on maintenance so I'm down to two days of their foods. I have a good menu plan and all the food is great, and if there's a meal that I can't do like pork or fish, we substitute and it's not a problem at all. I’ve also done Nutrisystem but Jenny Craig is better.

I have tried other weight loss companies, but I had not been completely successful. I walked in at Jenny Craig and my first interaction with them was fine except that they were slightly understaffed. And three years ago, at the Tampa Florida center that I was really successful with, my experience was fantastic and the consultant was super! She shared a lot of her story with me and what motivated her. She worked with me to try to figure what would motivate me, and she got tough with me when I needed it.

I’ve been using Jenny Craig off and on over the years and I feel very good about it. Jenny Craig's reps have all been very good and nice, but they don’t tell you how to keep the weight off without having to continue to use the foods. I have gone back to them over the years several times. And once you stop eating the food which over a period of time is a lot of money, you tend to gain the weight back. Other than that, the food selections are good and I enjoy them. I change every once in a while, and they bring in new foods as well. I would recommend Jenny Craig and I have told people where I go to lose weight, but I've also told them the pitfall that once you stop eating the food, you gain that weight back a lot of times.

I wanted to lose weight and I have a great experience using the Jenny Craig program on and off for 15 years. The consultants have all been wonderful. I enjoy the desserts and I have used the menu program, which works fine. The meals are good quality and they look good. Even people in my office has said that it smells good. I've recommended people to Jenny Craig. With them, you would like the food and would also lose weight. When you stick to their program, you'll have good results.

I was on Jenny Craig a long time ago when I was in my 20s and just came back because I’m fat and I need to lose some weight. I really like the rep whom I spoke with to get started again. She is very nice and easy to talk to and she understands when I have a crappy week. I have been on the program for only a couple of months, but I had a couple of things come up. My mom had a stroke and then my 17-year old daughter had a baby, so it has been hard because I had to go out of town when my mom had a stroke. It has also been really hard to do what I’m supposed to do on the program, although it’s not Jenny Craig’s fault.

My very first interaction with Jenny Craig was quite emotional for me way back in the day because I was very upset. At that point in time, I was only about 212 pounds and when I went back in 2015, I was 248.8, so that time was very frustrating for me. In 2009, I had gained a lot of weight before I got married due to the drama issues within family relations and that factored in a bit. I couldn't shake the way through and I got discouraged, so I knew that going back to Jenny Craig was one thing that works for me. I did the Body for Life as well, but I was better with the pre-planned meal in the portions.

I first came across Jenny Craig in the early 90’s and that was when I first started with them. I was able to get in on a lifetime thing but they no longer offer it. From time to time, I go back then I picked up some weight and I reapply myself. I’ve had several different consultants because of the calendar and scheduling and they've all been very helpful and very encouraging. I like the choice of food from Jenny Craig and most of the foods are really tasty. I have a choice and the whole menu plan doesn’t deprive me. I get to enjoy a wide variety of things that I normally want to eat.

I started Jenny Craig a long time ago. At the time, Weight Watchers still had meetings you had to go to and that wasn't for me. Jenny Craig had an offer at the time that I couldn't pass up. It was 20 pounds for 20 dollars. I decided to give it a try and it worked. My first interactions with Jenny Craig was okay. A gentleman took care of me the first couple of times I was there. However, they were having a turnover of people at the time and he was just temporary. I was very skeptical when I first went. I didn't think it was going to work and was quite surprised when it did and it just kept me coming.

I go on and off with Jenny Craig for 10 years. When I first went in, it was welcoming and I was given the information. But I didn’t have the greatest experience with them and it was like I just went through the motions. I did it for two months and I have lost weight. My norm is about 13 to 15 pounds when I go on Jenny Craig within the 2-month period. Then, I slowly start getting tired of the food so I slowly start going off but it was more to eat regular food than anything else. When I go on Jenny’s meal plan for so long, we also have to learn to eat regular food as we go along. Life isn’t just about those prepackaged foods and I've got to be able to incorporate both the regular food with the Jenny Craig but they don’t encourage that. Their consultant did not give me anything to work with. There were no suggestions on how to do things differently to keep me motivated enough to keep going so I always tend to lose interest.

I've been with Jenny Craig since the 90's, but I come and go. Still, I like the company. I like my consumption with their program and their food is good. They're not acidic, so my stomach doesn't get all messed up. Furthermore, my consultant is the sweetest girl and we became really good friends. She's trying to help me to keep on track. Also, she's always worried that I exercise and I do whatever's necessary to lose the weight. She texts me and we go to her office. There, I lose my stuff then I get weighted. She asks me about my week and how it went. Then we get a menu and leave for home. In terms of the quality of their food, most of it is nice. Jenny Craig did a lot of changes with their food. Still, I like them much more and I have my own personal favorite. They have integrated in the last three years and they've tried it to be a little bit more modern with our food.

I belonged to Jenny Craig for many years and they were good. My interactions with my personal consultant were wholesome and very nice. I started in 1990 in Monterey, California and I lost 100 pounds. It was good because I worked at a scuba diving shop and I was exercising every single day, but weight loss is something you have to keep up with. In the 90s, they had more meetings. They also had all the tapes and these tapes were helpful. But this time, they don't have tapes. I wish they would've had CDs instead of the tapes, so I could listen to them better. They also had books and they had more training materials where now they don't.

I was on Jenny Craig years and years ago, back in the early 80s. I have always liked the program and the food, and I knew it worked for me, so I went back to it. I’ve been on and off for the last two years and my recent interaction with one of the Jenny Craig employees was positive. They got me all set up and they weighed me in, measured me, encouraged me, and gave me my food. I show up for the weekly visits with my dedicated personal consultant and we weigh in and we talk about the week, the challenges, obstacles, things I can do, and plan for the week ahead, and then I grab my food. I like all the different menu plans and they have more options. I like all the Mexican food.

3 wks into the program and $800 invested...I bit into a breakfast sandwich and a long black hair came out of the egg!!?? I was totally disgusted! If it could happen to one of their foods it could happen to many more. Whose head did it come from? Do they have any diseases? Something like this should “NEVER” happen. I contacted Jenny Craig Corp. and PR. Their response was a pro forma apology and an offer to replace the food item. Are they crazy? The thought of biting into any of their food makes me want to vomit! I replied that this was not a satisfactory response and they should ensure the public was aware of the possibility of finding foreign objects in their food. I got no response.

The simplicity of the Jenny Craig program appealed to me. I have been on and off of it for about six years. Their personal consultant has always been very good and very easy to deal with no judgments. We go in and talk about how the week went and we weigh in. Then, we talk about both for the next week and go through the menu and a way to go. They have four different menus. The quality of the meals is very good and some are better than others. Still, when I'm on the program, I've had very good results. I recommend Jenny Craig.

I've been on every program there was and Jenny Craig was one of those left that I had not tried. I felt that it was a really affordable down payment option, since the other programs cost thousands of dollars to join. But the weekly food with Jenny Craig ends up being expensive so that’s the Catch-22. The food was delicious although some were better than the others. The frozen food was much more endurable than the pantry items. There were some things that you microwave, like the pot roast, and I didn't find them as enjoyable.

I've been going to Jenny Craig for about 30 years off and on. I have used other weight loss programs too. I've been to Weight Watchers but I'm one of those people that need structure and Jenny Craig is a little more structured. I go in at a certain time, same time each day, each week and I chat a little bit with my personal consultant. If I've got some difficulties, we go over some menus. It's a little more personal with the one-on-one rather than with Weight Watchers where I'm in a group.

I got into Jenny Craig for convenience. But the first rep I worked with was on her last week there so she wasn't very motivating and she really didn't give me a lot of details. But I decided to join anyway. Once she officially left I was assigned to another person. The new rep have tips and ideas. She was more detailed and gave me a little bit more coaching. She was very concerned about what might be coming up that I might find challenging.

I’ve used Jenny Craig off and on for about 7 years and I’ve had a good experience with them. Everybody I’ve ever worked with has been great. But it usually costs me about $160 a week and that’s a lot of money for one person. When I mentioned Jenny Craig to my friends, a lot of them said they can't afford it. If it was less expensive, more people would get on board. Then if you can afford it, your number one thing would be more selection. It would be very exciting and more appealing if they came out with something new more often, like one new thing every month.

The people at Jenny Craig are nice and the program is fine. You can lose weight on it but it’s so expensive. Spending $900 a month is a little much. I’ve had their fish and chips, their spaghetti and their sunshine sandwiches, and the quality's okay but there were some things that I didn’t care for. Also, even grocery stores have some of those things on sale. $15 for one entrée? I don’t think so. On top of that, I've been the program on and off for a couple of years and we have the same old types of food. There are a lot of foods that the States have that we don’t have, especially the bars. I was getting sick of the honey, peanut and raisin. It would be nice to have a different kind of bar or some shakes.

I've been using Jenny Craig for 12 months but I have stopped going since April because I went away on vacation. Nevertheless, my first interaction with them was a positive experience. Plus, my personal consultant was always very supportive and encouraging. I would go there, get weighed and then we would go over any difficulties I had in the week, anything that came about that I wasn’t planning on, and what I had to do the next week. When I finished last year, I had reached my goal, but when I went off, I slowly went up, but not as bad. I haven’t gotten to where I was before I started there. I just need to go back for maintenance.

I liked Jenny Craig's concept, their success rate, and the one-on-one conference that they have, unlike with Weight Watchers, where you sit with a million people. My very first interaction with Jenny Craig was wonderful. My husband and I both went in the 90s, and we had a really sweet girl who helped us through. My husband lost 75 pounds and I lost 50 pounds. I've been using the program since the 90s, and I kept that weight off for a good 10 years. And then it creeps back a little bit here, a little bit there, so I come back every once in a while, and I have a very good personnel who helps me. I like her very much. We've become friends over the years.

My goal was to lose weight slowly per doctor's orders, but I ran into problems with Jenny Craig (JC) -- in one ear and out the other -- it seems all they were concerned about was me strictly following their program 24/7. No exceptions. I've been to all programs and Nutrisystem does not have as good food and no weigh-ins. Weight Watchers (WW) does not provide food, so I tried to combine the strategy of WW with JC, but JC does not seem to be concerned about the fact that you lose weight unless you eat according to their meal plan with 3 or less substitutions, even if you use all of their food for every meal.

Jenny Craig is very helpful. My one person mainly for the last few years is Leslie at Carlsbad, and she does a great job. I'm one of those lifetime members, and I've been on their program on and off for 20 years. When I’m using it the way it’s supposed to be used, it’s right on. It accomplishes things miraculously. In the old days, I could do a lot more with a lot less effort, but if I’m steady and I'm really concentrated on it, I can still lose about a pound a week. Most of their meals are good. They have a broad selection and a nice variety. However, there are a couple that are so-so, but I suppose that is just personal preference. Also, I want them to bring back the old-fashioned Anytime Bars, peanut butter chocolate. Still, overall, I'd recommend them.

Jenny Craig used to be in my city in Santa Cruz and I had a dentist office right next-door to them. A friend told me that she went there, so I tried it. Initially, they wanted to know what I liked to eat. Then, we would select foods. They have four canned menus that I can choose from but they allowed me to pick or take things off if I didn't like it or have been allergic to. At that time, I wasn't able to eat nuts and seeds. The foods were good to eat and I looked forward to the meals. I loved that there was really no thinking. I have a little menu for the week and I just pick the thing that's there and find it in my freezer cabinet and that would be my lunch or dinner or breakfast. It's all pre-made for me and it's all microwavable.

I have been a member of Jenny Craig for two years. With their programs, I don't have to sit and listen to somebody talk for 45 minutes to an hour and hear other people's stories. At the time that I started, I was preparing different meals in the family 'cause there were different dietary needs and it was just getting crazy, so it was easier to pop something in the microwave. Their food is just fine except for the breakfast, I don't like their frozen eggs and it's always a hurdle in the morning to eat those. I also don't like the fish out of the can, but there's always another alternative, except I've never asked for those eggs.

I started with Jenny Craig a year ago, when my husband was deployed. I wanted to lose weight while he was deployed and I didn't have a lot of time for cooking. I was a single mom who was working full time, so Jenny Craig seemed like the best plan. Then when we moved across the country in January, I put it on pause for a bit. When I got settled here in San Diego, I continued again. Barbara, my personal consultant, was absolutely amazing. She would help out with anything I needed and I could either call or email. We would talk once a week and she would always keep me honest and keep me on track and she was always in a great mood.

Jenny Craig was offering a discount, so I signed up when I wanted to lose weight. Everyone there was great and my consultant was always encouraging and helpful. I've done the enrolment a couple of times -- I've done it in Langley, as well as in Kelowna. They did the weekly visit to touch base and it made me more accountable. The variety of meals is very good, too. The quantity is not great even though they would always make that more. But, they are tasty food. I am not in the program right now, but it is a good program. Give it a shot.

I tried other weight loss programs but I needed convenience. My first interaction with Jenny Craig was 15 years ago and it was a great experience. I really like the personal consultant. She was personable and I can share my concerns and my challenges. I never felt judged and she was always empathetic. She always had words of encouragement and suggested solutions to try. The meals at Jenny Craig are excellent. But I don’t like desserts and I switch them out for popcorn which I feel is establishing a bad habit. I've lost 35 pounds but the results of my program have been slow for me because there are certain habits I don't give up like my wine because it helps me sleep. Jenny Craig is great and I have referred friends to them. It’s easy to follow and the weight loss happens.

I originally started Jenny Craig about 10 years ago. At that point, I was desperate. All those years ago, my consultant had been wonderful. I've restarted in February, and my consultant now is absolutely fantastic, too. She always has a good word, great suggestions, and terrific feedback. She is a lot of the reason that I'm doing well. She goes by the name Mia in the Thousand Oaks, California facility.

I thought the Jenny Craig program was very overpriced and I wish they were a little bit cheaper, but it does work. Nothing else worked before. I've now been using the Jenny Craig program off and on for at least 10 years and when I am on the program, my results are pretty steady. There's also a very good variety in the menu plan and the quality of the meals is good.

The consultants told me what I needed to do and guided me through it. I was impressed and interested. I chose this weight loss program for the prepared food and I like the menu plan. There are things I don't like but overall, I like the food. It's great quality too. I've been on the Jenny Craig program off and on for about a year and although I have not had the progress I'm looking for, that's on my part because I don't stick with it. I know that if I stick with it, it would work though.

It has now been 6 months since I made an appointment at Jenny Craig on Sand Lake Road Orlando FL. I show up with an appt. When I arrived the door was locked, after 10 minutes of trying to see if someone showed up finally a lady steps up to the reception desk where someone should be when you arrive. She sees me and waves and walks out of site, after 10 more minutes I leave and she calls wanting to know where I am. After telling her I was there for 15 minutes and drove 1 hour to get there. She asks me to turn around and drive back or book another appt. I already made one. I am not driving back. Corporate calls and offers absolutely nothing. Unprofessional Jenny Craig.

I am now on my 3rd round of Jenny after having my 3rd baby. I go on Jenny every time I have a baby to lose the last 10 stubborn pounds and it always works! I'm excited to try the new rapid results program and I hope it gives me just that! I have 20 lbs to lose this time around and I am really hoping it comes off quick with this new method!!! I do wish they would bring back the Florentine breakfast pizzas. I almost cried when I found out they were gone!!! Please Jenny, please bring them back!!!

I've been with Jenny Craig since the fall of 2009. I can go in there and weigh in all the time so it’s been a great experience and I hit my goal weight. Now, I'm back on it every week because I had a couple of surgeries and issues last year. However, I don’t eat any red meat and there was no much of a selection so sometimes even though the meals are good quality-wise, I have problems trying to pick stuff. Other than that, Jessica, the consultant I have now, is outstanding. Jenny Craig is a great program that is easy to follow and maintain. I'd tell a friend of mine to give it a try.

I've been using Jenny Craig for seven years 'cause I lose weight. The program is working as I expected and I stick to it completely until I lose weight. I love their pizzas. I'm a permanent resident in one State and non-resident in another. I go to both of their shops there and they're wonderful.

My mom went to Jenny Craig 20 years ago and she really wanted it. I decided to go with them and Whitney, Daniel, Lou and Greg were wonderful and very encouraging. They were also very positive and had good team work. I used Jenny Craig for a year and I lost 50 pounds. My stepfather got really ill and so I've been off Jenny Craig for a year and I've gained 77 pounds. I'm in the process of getting porcelain veneer implants so, when I get my teeth, I'll go back because I know this program works. In the meals that Jenny Craig provided, the Chicken Alfredo was my favorite and for breakfast, the Country Scramble. My favorite dessert was the Key Lime Pie and I also like the meatloaf. I'm on this whole Paleo diet right now and I'm trying to do things without doing Jenny Craig but it's not working as I want it to. I'm not losing the weight that I would like to lose and I know I can lose that weight with them.

I like the program with Jenny Craig and I’ve been doing it for years. It was very good with my personal consultant. We go in and discuss how the week went and then, we weigh and discuss what food we want. Then, she goes over what I ordered. I like all the meals but I wish they were a little cheaper. Other than that, the results have been very good and I’ve lost 33 pounds this time.

My experience with Jenny Craig has been good. I needed something that had the food provided because I was a college student and that would make it a lot easier. Jenny Craig was ranked higher so I went with them. It was easy to get the appointment and to start the program, and my personal consultants were very nice. I don’t know if I found them to be 100% necessary but I can see how it can be beneficial to other people that may be struggling with the program.

I've been going to Jenny Craig for 17 years now. Over the period of time, I've been up and down a lot, but it’s nice. I lose weight on the program and then I go off, and then I'll go back. I've had the same consultant and she has been very consistent and very good. The weekly visits go well with us. The food's good as well. I like the Salisbury steak and the snacks are really good.

I’ve been with Jenny Craig for years now and my experience with them has been great. I like that the food is prepared for me. I live a very busy lifestyle and I don’t care for all that measuring. I just take it out of the refrigerator and it’s there. I love the new meal. They have the penne and the breakfasts and I really enjoy each and every one of them. I told them that when I work out and I’m really on a diet, no matter what I have, it just tastes so good. I can’t have any tacos or anything that’s extra hot, so they know with my plan I’m really safe from all that. The lunches are loaded. But I do the meal plan that's mostly everything I get. I’m not a tuna person, so they know the same thing. But I love the chicken salad and the tomato. I also like baked potatoes. I’m really happy and I enjoy them all.

My previous experience with Jenny Craig was successful and this is my 5th time on it. I just gained my weight back and I knew that I could get good help from them. The same ladies that I worked with the last time are still working there now, and the weekly visits work pretty good. I’d go in, they ask me how I went, I weigh in and this time, I’ve lost about 31 pounds without a week yet where I gained weight. Sometimes I’d lose more than others but I always have a slight loss each week. It's as good as any diet program. However, it’s pretty expensive and I don’t think just anybody could afford it. I spend about $155 close to $160 a week and I would think that not everybody would be willing to spend that kind of money. Other than that, I’d definitely recommend them.

We tried other programs before and we thought we’d try Jenny Craig. We’ve been with them a couple of times but this time, we’ve been with them for about five months now. The counselor we have right now is the best one we’ve ever had. She’s great. The weekly visits are really important. It makes you accountable and you get some advice and kinda cheer you on, which is great. My husband lost 30 something and I’ve lost about 20 something. I’m slow because I’ve had knee replacements so I can’t do much exercise.

I started with Jenny Craig a long time ago and at that time, I felt the weight loss program was the best thing to do. They explained the program and it was a very smooth process. Their consultants were helpful with their suggestions. But I've been on and off the program. The first time it went very well and I lost 75 pounds. But then gained weight back. I would recommend Jenny Craig to others. They stick to the program, they’re gonna lose weight.

I have been with Jenny Craig for about four years now and it has been convenient to not have to worry about meal preps and calorie counting. While there's a handful of things that I don't like, all the meals are good and I made it to my goal. Also, all their reps over the years have been nice. Overall, the convenience of having Jenny Craig is nice but you still have a personal responsibility for getting to your goal and maintaining your weight.

Compared to other weight loss programs, Jenny Craig is convenient since the food is already prepared and I just need to add a few things. The program is easy to follow as it doesn't require a lot of work on my part. I have been using Jenny Craig for 10 years now and my interactions with them have always been positive. I've tried most of the meals on their menu just to see. But the taste doesn't remain consistent whenever they go to a different supplier. I used to like the chicken fettuccini but they might have changed the manufacturer of that now and I no longer like the taste of that. I would like to see more changes in the menu. Instead of changing two or three times a year, I would like to see other options throughout the year. Jenny Craig works. It's a very simple program to use and you see results. It's worth the try.

I've been on and off the Jenny Craig weight loss program for about six years. The first time that I reached out to them, my experience was excellent. The personal consultant was very good and very helpful. Last time, I began in January and I finished about 15 days ago. The result was good. I reached my goal. The menu plan was good and the frozen ones were excellent.

If I could give this company a zero star review, I would. I’ve been on the Jenny Craig diet in the past and was very pleased. The meals sent to me were not edible. They mixed very inexpensive foods such as bags of popcorn as if you were on their inexpensive option but you paid $700 for it. They explained their policy was to cancel 2nd order within 3 days to not be charged $99. After 3 days you must pay $99. Customer Service refuses to cancel 2nd order. Their reps read from a script and were not helpful. I was willing to pay the $99 to cancel but their response was to tell me that they listened to the recording and I could not cancel the order.

My sister had gone on Jenny Craig before and I decide to with their program as it was already premade and I didn't have to measure and count. The interactions with the people at Jenny Craig were good. My sister and I both went together and we're still going in by the batch. Caitlyn, my personal consultant, is very good and I like her. She knows what I like or not. And she'll give me tips like sometimes, I mix the stuff around and she said that I can move the days but not move the stuff. She also gave me tips if I go off and then make better choices than others.

I've been a long-time customer of Jenny Craig. I had been successful in the past, but Jenny Craig changed the program. It's super expensive and it's not worth it. The people involved in the local centers are lovely and wonderful, but what the people from their headquarters are doing is ridiculous. They have a lot of things that make it difficult to do your own thing and I don't want to do it anymore. I’m no longer a fan.

I have tried to cancel this program for some time. An unauthorized amount $360 was charged to my credit card. Now I'm after speaking to several people they would do a "ticket" cancelling my order from being delivered and refund my money. I am a lifetime member and was told I only would pay for the food. Corporate as Jen called it (credit department) said they don't show me as lifetime and I would have to pay $99 to cancel.

My husband had passed away and I wasn't eating properly. My daughter had done Jenny Craig a couple of years prior and she said the food was good. I've been trying a lot of different diets when I was younger and this just made it perfect for me because being a widow, I'm only cooking for one person and that was the easy choice. My personal consultant was very supportive and encouraging. I'm very upset that she has left the company. I had lost 50 pounds with her and she was amazing. Every week, she had a smile on her face. She never puts me down. She was in El Cajon and she moved to Mission Valley and I followed her. The company didn't treat her good so she left and got another position. And after she left, I stopped Jenny for a while.

I had a great experience the first time I joined Jenny Craig. The problem was that I wasn't taught what to eat when I finished the program. Is there a book or something that can help with this. I've just joined and I'm hoping my consultant will teach me this.

A friend of mine, Lisa, goes to Jenny Craig and I've seen how it worked for her. She did awesome on it. I'm starting to have health issues with my legs and going there was the right thing for me to do. Also, I had a lot of setbacks over the years which were my fault. I've been in a car accident. Still, the girls at Jenny Craig are so wonderful. The ones where I go to back at New Jersey treated me very nicely. My personal consultant is absolutely wonderful. She talks to me and gives me the confidence to know that I could do this and keeps me strong.

My husband and I are empty nesters and he doesn’t like the same food that I do. So when I saw Jenny Craig, it seemed a good fit for me. I went in and met with my assigned counselor. She talked to me, explained the programs and measured me. We talked about the different food selections, which were really good and pretty robust. There have been some dishes that I really liked and there have been some that I don’t, but I would never know until I've tried it.

I've only started my Jenny experience a few weeks ago. Results are decent. I have one major issue though. The only protein anytime/snacks available in my area are the peanut or cinnamon bar. Peanut does not agree with me, and cinnamon makes me throw up, so I've been choking down the Honey Peanut bar which has been leaving me in less than stellar condition. The menu boasts all these different options like a cookie dough bar and shakes, but I can't get them, and those options were the reason I joined in the first place, and I didn't find out they weren't available until after I'd already signed up. I'm not sure it's going to be worth it.

The first time I went to Jenny Craig was 30 years ago, and they’ve always been very positive. Their selection of foods is very good and I like the variety. It suits my taste just fine and I’m getting what I paid for. Although I understand that I’m paying for some overhead as far as the centers, I wish the cost was a bit less. I meet with my consultant and we usually look at the week ahead. Like right now, I have a flexible work schedule. I’m an independent contractor, so I’m traveling and I’m coming and going quite a bit. My consultant worked with me to try to figure out what are the days that are gonna be easy to stay on track and what are the days that are gonna be challenges. Sometimes, I customize the week based on knowing when I’m not gonna have access to a freezer and we’ll work with the options. Jenny Craig's program is very good and I’m very pleased with it. I get great results when I stick to the program.

I've been with Jenny Craig since '95 and I would order food off and on. I'd go for a couple of years and then, one of the kids would get married, so I go back again, trying to fit in the dress. Their food selection is pretty good and I’m always happy when they add something and change up the menu a bit. I have to take out my wine but I found it easy if I just have it on Wednesdays or on weekends. Cost-wise, it is what I’d spend if I went out to dinner a couple of times a week and I'm happy with the results this time.

Jenny Craig was some place convenient that I could walk into and get my food and not have to do it by mail or drive straight across town. 30 years ago, I joined them for the first time then I came back in 2014. I took another break and then I started back in January. My personal consultant and I discussed the plan including where I have problems and suggestions on how to get over it. She's very positive and she gives good suggestions. The overall quality of Jenny Craig's meals are good but they keep getting smaller.

I felt that Jenny Craig's food was better than other weight loss programs. The consultant was great and the company is fine. It’s going slow but that’s my fault. I’m not really good on the pasta dishes but some of them are okay. I don’t eat fish or shrimp and I’m allergic to that. I mostly like the things that are junk food, like a burrito or a hamburger. Other than that, the quality of the food has been very good. My daughter thinks it’s a good program and I would recommend it.

I’ve been with Jenny Craig twice and my first session was really great. I had an amazing consultant who was really helpful and motivating. Then I gained some weight back so I decided to rejoin and get organized. Now I’m on my second session and the consultant is mediocre. I think their people are overworked and unhappy. They have no interest or enthusiasm in what they do. They’re in-and-out, which is okay, it just makes sense because I don’t want a lot of fussy silliness.

I heard about Jenny Craig from my sister and then I just copied. I have been using Jenny Craig for about four years now. Their food is excellent. I like the turkey burgers the best. Also, I like our center and the people there are really good. Jenny Craig really works for me. Right now, I'm down 15 pounds from where I was and the only reason that I gained it back is I got off track but I maintain really well when I'm on it.

I have been on Jenny Craig on and off for the last 25 years. They were very professional the first time I dealt with them and they were willing to have other people. I've been going on with the program straight for six months now and my personal consultant has been excellent. I like the structure of the weight-loss program and the weekly visits helped me in trying to achieve my goal. Sometimes, I would lose 100 pounds, but I increased 30. And next, I lost 70 pounds and I want to lose 30 pounds more. Their menu is effective, the food is healthy and what I like about it the most is they send it with the breakfast. I have a good experience and I see results with the program.

Jenny Craig’s program is so easy and convenient. I don't have to think, fret, or worry about it, or count calories or points or anything else. I just do it. I suffer from depression so I become pretty inactive every once in a while. And I'm very short in stature. So it's battle to not be too heavy for my height. The people are very encouraging and non-judgmental. No matter how bad it gets, they remain positive. And they don't berate you for having had a bad week. It's like having your mother there. Also, the meals are of excellent quality. I find the turkey and wild rice delicious.

Jenny Craig was providing the food, which was the biggest thing for me, so I chose them. We had good consultants and then if it wasn’t a good fit for whatever reason, then I just requested another one. I gave myself a year to use it and the results have been good. I did some travelling so I went off, but I’m back on it now. I tried doing the travelling thing. I did have the meals with me and I used some of the part of it but I’m just not as disciplined yet when I'm on a vacation.

A friend was on Jenny Craig and referred me to them. Their program is simple and the food is already prepared. It's a good program if I'm using it and exercise about the same time. It's easy to follow, but it is a bit on the pricey side. Their people are on the ball as far as getting in touch with me and trying to keep me on the program. When I go in, they're empathetic and helped me to find solutions when I'm up against the wall. Usually, we talk first about what's usually going on and then talk about what my challenges were for the week, what my challenges will be for the upcoming week, what my goals are and if there are any questions I have while I'm trying to do any variety of the food.

Some years ago, I had a diagnosis of a psychiatric condition which is a controllable and acquired psychiatric condition. I had to undergo medical treatment. The medications that I was given produced effects which involved the change of conduct and one of the side effects was that it made me overeat. It affected the way where my body couldn’t control the emotions over food. So, I went under that treatment which was successful, but I ended up weighing about 269 pounds from the 177-166 pounds that I was at the beginning.

I joined JC in 2012 and had great success but had to quit when I was laid off from my job. I rejoined recently and was very annoyed to learn that I could no longer pick what I wanted to eat. Supposedly more than 3 substitutions affects the integrity of the diet but that is nonsense, I lost a lot of weight picking my own food. The food is not cheap, why should I pay premium prices for food I'm not crazy about. Also the staff should be warning clients that this is a very high fiber diet, the recommended amount of fiber is 25 grams per day, this diet has almost 3x that much, so no one should be surprised if they have stomach trouble. I will not stay on the diet as long as I had originally planned due to their new way of doing things.

This is my first time doing Jenny Craig and I love it. 6 weeks and I'm down almost 25 pounds. I love the food and the counselors are nice, down to earth women. I couldn't lose weight to save my life. After a few weeks I would usually come off and gorge. I don't feel deprived at all. I really love the food and daily desserts.

I'm very happy with the program. Just completed the rapid results weight loss program with good results. I was told by my consultant that the cost to continue purchasing food would be a $150 enrollment fee plus the cost of food. I would love to continue but I can't afford the enrollment fee. I just want to buy JC food weekly to maintain my weight loss! I was purchasing from the Lewisville Texas location.

I think for the most part thought the food was really good. I seemed to go about 200 calories over everyday because I was starving all the time. I did lose more weight than in previous times, just a little slower. To other reviewers, of course it is processed... it is frozen dinners. I actually saved money for groceries. The downfall is I don't like shakes, milk or any milk products and that was the majority of breakfast foods. I would join again in a minute if they would substitute... Checked a couple of times and they wouldn't without charging me extra... too bad.

Jenny Craig member since 2010 and maintained my membership over the years in case I needed it. This is my 3rd successful weight loss (24 lbs) on Jenny Craig and this time it's for keeps - I plan on continuing lunch breakfast with dinners on my own, and weekly appointments to stay on track. I'm 56 years old and my health demands that I keep it off.

I recently rejoined Jenny Craig after reading a publicity saying that I could rejoin for free and get $200.00 of food. I have had good results in the past so I thought it was a good idea. On my first appointment I let the person in charge know that I would prefer a vegetarian menu. I then realize the choice of food is very limited and I will have to repeat a lot of the food during the same week. I decided that in that case I would make a few changes to my menu. I am told only 3 changes are possible. Also I have to order absolutely everything that is in the weekly menu, snacks and desserts included if I want to get my discount, $17.00. The $200.00 are actually divided in several weeks. This was only disclosed after I had made my food order.

I ordered food on the Rapid Results. However apparently it’s wasn't the “right” food so my “consultant” instead of just working with what I got proceed to basically couldn’t help me. I thought this program was to help support and when you actually support someone Jenny Craig you work around the obstacles of that person!!! Thank you for wasting a good $300 and not helping me!!! I could have used the money for an actual weight loss company that could actually HELP ME!!!

I am a new client who enrolled in Rapid Results with my first shipment arriving Friday, April 20. I was told I could cancel the second shipment within three business days if the program was not suited for me. I did try the product and was not happy with the quality of the food, which I had no choice in selecting. Several of the packages were opened when they arrived (wrappers) and many of the items included items I don’t eat (pork, beef, onions, spices). The quality of the food was not what I expected as I am accustomed to eating fresh, healthy food and the meals were processed, frozen and resembled frozen TV dinners.

Expensive. Personal coach only ask; "are you drinking enough water?" Food is medium at best. Profit-driven. FB groups (owned by administrators and treated like they are a cult - do not question) do not allow any negative type question if perceived as such. Had emergency and could not continue but took my monthly amount for full year (after complaint the site; not corporate would refund only 2 months). Corporate is no help whatsoever; refers back to the individual site you originally signed up at. Go off the diet and bam; weight comes back like a storm. So you really must stay on it for life. Can you afford that? Discounts (I had one via my job) are very difficult to get applied and not as much as what it was supposed to be per my job information. Overall; do it yourself with frozen meals and lots of vegetables. Weigh your self once a week.

I just started back on Jenny Craig as of today and I was reading the ingredients in the foods, most are not gut or IBS friendly at all which is probably why so many people seem to have digestive issues when eating this food. Ingredients like fructose and sugar alcohols are not healthy for anyone with or without IBS, also whey protein is a much better option than soy. I would love to see Jenny Craig come out with a low fodmap menu plan.

I tried Jenny Craig about a year ago. When I first signed up I was very motivated and loved it. My coach was great and I looked forward to seeing her. About a month in, she left the location. The coaches who were left were less than desirable. One girl constantly gave a nasty attitude. If I ever called to change the appointment it was a huge problem for her. When I had to see her because there wasn’t many workers in there her advice would be “could you work out this week?” “What can you do to do better this week?” Not sure how this counts as health advice.

I have been a Jenny Craig client since 2007. I successfully lost 75 pounds on the program. Since my initial weight loss, have gone back periodically when I’m up 20 pounds, which happens every couple of years or so. My complaint is about Jenny Craig’s price increase to renew my program on an annual basis, and their process for renewals. I have to keep on top of my own renewal, there are no reminder noticed or a phone call to remind me that my program is up for renewal. In addition, the cost to renew is now $69! Quite an increase from $39, which I paid to renew the first several years. They should notify faithful clients about the increase in cost to renew at least 60 days prior to renewal. It’s just common courtesy!

I have been on Jenny Craig three times since 2015. I was very successful the first time. I just started my third round this past Tuesday. I’m curious though, each time I’ve started the program, the same day I start, I have to void and have bowel movements right away, the first day! Now I know that at the beginning with any weight loss you lose water retention but it usually occurs within the first week not the same day you start. What is in the product that stimulates your kidneys and bowels so quickly? And is it safe?

There are a lot of negative comments about Jenny Craig here... Does the company really listen? I did Jenny Craig back in the early 2005. I did lose weight within 3 months and was very happy, until they changed something with the menus and I was eating more fruit and more vegetables to volumize. But the calories ended up being a lot more and I stopped losing weight. I was not happy with their new system. Now I want to go back and I was told, by phone that they'd give me a discount on the food for returning. When I called the clinic, itself the consultant didn't know what I was talking about. It cost over 700 dollars a month to be on Jenny Craig; isn't this a bit extreme???

I have been a member of Jenny Craig for a while (inactive for a period). I went into the location, met with the consultant, was given the menu & wanted to substitute some items out (as I have done in the past) as seafood etc. I have never eaten & it was like pulling teeth & substituting is no longer allowed. I feel if I am spending $100.00 + per week, I should be able to pick as long as I eat their food. Secondly, I decided I would renew my membership. I called on February 26, 2018, was quoted a renewal price & called back 4 days late March 2, 2018 & the price had gone up & my current membership has not expired yet. Maybe I won't renew. Too many restrictions now!!

I’m in week 3 and down 10 lbs, 27 to go!! Food is good and counselor stays in touch, friendly and knowledgeable! Food orders come within 6 days! I need structure, plans and I need my food to measured out as to not overeat. The food is so easy to pack for the day which makes it so easy to just take with you wherever you go. I am never hungry. I do not crave sweets (and I’m a sugar addict). I find drinking my water is so easy! I feel better, I sleep better, more energy. I have done Nutrisystem and the food was horrible. Lasted 4 days. Couldn’t do it! I give Jenny 2 up.

Rejoined Jenny Craig in mid-late Jan. 2018 after moderate success in 2010. Had to quit in 2010 due to job loss. Fast forward to 2018 -- rejoined because of mobility issues. I realized that it took a long time for me to put on the weight and it would take a long time to get rid of it. I started "Rapid Results." I've since discovered that the consultant did not explain it to me correctly. Once I understood it, I found it too prescriptive and asked to be put on a different plan. Just finished my sixth "meeting" with my consultant, who once again hurried me through the meeting because she told me that she had a new client to meet with after me.

Joined in 2009, lost weight approx 48 pounds! My consultant then let me pick and choose meals and substitute my own meals in. We kept constant track of calories, sodium activity. Life happens and I gained weight back! My first consultation went well and I told her about my first time. Today the next consultant would not let me even discuss adding or substituting? I was ready to purchase some food products but she wanted me on whole program. Guess Jenny doesn’t want some of my money. Only all!!!

I have decided Jenny Craig is not worth it. If I didn’t have to spend time talking to the consultants I would consider buying the food. However the consultants do not tell me anything I don’t already know. Listening to them tell me the same thing over and over is enough to put me to sleep. I can also tell they want to make sure they get that expensive food order in. Of course the more food you buy the more money they make. I have gone to the Jenny Craig Center and over the phone. Over the phone is a joke. Really? They are only happy if you have lost weight and stuck to the program... so all you have to do is tell them what they want to hear. Yes, if you stick to the program, like any diet, you can lose weight. The food's not bad, however the weekly meetings are horrifying. If they change their policy and decide to let me buy the food without having listening to one of their consultants every week. I will be happy to place many orders.

I just started this program. Tomorrow will be my third week, this food is making me sick. Last night I woke with horrible pain in my stomach, something that has never happened before, only when I was in labor. Lol. Also a lot of money??? For bad food! So far I've lost 6 & 1/2 lbs. Don't think I can handle much more. Stay away. There are healthy ways to lose, like maybe a nutritionist. For the people who wrote great reviews, not sure I can believe, maybe they work for JC.

This is my second time at Jenny Craig. The first was in 1991, I lost 38 lbs in 8 weeks. This time I've lost 15 lbs in 17 days so far. All these people whining about the food quality and size are not really committed to losing weight. If you follow what they tell you to do and eat the food that you're supposed to eat there's no way you won't lose weight. Yes, the food is more expensive than McDonald's but then again you are getting balanced meals, low calories and control fat and carbs. Obviously that's not what you were getting in your previous diet on your own. If you can muster a little self control you will succeed. I have nothing but great things to say about the Jenny Craig system.

I order chicken fettuccine and got my order this last weekend. Twice, this week, the containers came out of the package in one piece. When I took it out of the microwave I didn't notice that one side of the container was missing and not to be found anywhere and so I must have ingested it. This happened again today and now I'm afraid to try anymore. I liked this service but they're using subpar materials.

This company is awful. PLEASE DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM! The food is barely edible. The portions are more than tiny. It is expensive. You do not lose the weight. Customer service is nasty. Other than that lol it's great! They have unnecessary rules. One being you're only allowed 4 substitutions per food order! What do they care if you pay for them. They only have to pack a different item. Ridiculous! Never mind for someone dieting with crummy food to choose from. I only have 10 pounds to lose. I can only imagine what if you had to be on this program for an extended period of time. Try anything else as this program is a sad joke.

My biggest problem, besides food price, is the change of consultants that happens every month. I just get a good feel with my consultant and then they move them around to another center and I'm back to starting all over again with a new person. I love the last consultant I had and now they moved her to another location and I feel like I don't want to do this all over again with a new person. In the last 4 months, I have had 4 different consultants. This program emphasis having someone you can talk and relate to as helping with your weight loss goal, but now does that even help when you get a new person all the time. The program does work, but I think, even though I am a life time member that it's time I do it without the Jenny Craig staff and expensive food.

I joined in January and in all honesty I thought by now I would have lost more than 20 lbs. I'm happy I've lost that much but in all honesty I think the food is my problem. I dislike more of the food than I like. I have had vomiting issues with certain foods (Chinese) and I find all of their products inconsistent. So one week I may like what's on my menu and the next week the product sucks (too much pepper or spices, veggies too much of something and none of something else). Their chocolate is crap and I've refused anything chocolate because it's a waste of calories.

Excellent experience. I have lost 50 lbs in 19 weeks. There are many good options to choose from and the meals are tasty and filling. Having a consultant to motivate you each week is a huge plus. I am pleased with the program.

I have used Jenny Craig three times in my life in three different locations: Joplin, MO in 2002, Woodbridge VA in 2013 and Mount Vernon OH in 2017. All of my consultants have been amazingly supportive, genuinely concerned, and knowledgeable. Jenny is one of only two programs that consistently achieve good results, as confirmed by major public studies. Jenny Craig food tastes better than the other program according to taste tests. I have successfully lost weight after pregnancies (after weaning my babies) and no one believes how many children I have because I am slim -- but it is all due to Jenny Craig!

I've been a member for years and over time have unfortunately become dissatisfied with JC. They keep throwing out tools that work (like forms that used to fold nicely and had room to write) and discontinuing popular foods in favor of (in my opinion) cheaper ingredient items. The last straw was losing the veggie sausage with pancakes. They keep tossing out vegetarian options. If you're on a restricted diet like me, you're going to spend your money at the store when you can't buy what you want at the center. So I buy vegetarian sausage patties and a box of mini pancakes at the store instead. Like MANY others, I don't like that they don't give you a receipt showing line item pricing. That's right, you get a receipt showing the total you spent that day but not one showing what each individual item cost. Why? Why not be honest like every other organization? Could it be because they don't want you to know what you're really spending???

I have been with Jenny Craig for several months now. All going fine until I ate a chicken burrito last night. Extreme food poisoning within 1.5 hours. Thought I was going to die. I am going to try to get my money back. I picked out the bell peppers and one also still had the sticker on it.

I have nothing but good things to say about Jenny Craig and my consultant. If you follow the program you will lose weight. I absolutely love the food I actually crave my meals. Seasoned so well. Everything is to die for. The deserts are wonderful. My favorite is the brownie. You feel satisfied because you're not lacking anything. Only thing extra to buy is fresh fruits and yogurts unless you do their anytime bars. Only drawback is cost. It is not inexpensive. I spend around $150.00 per week at Jenny. If you can afford it you won't be disappointed. Good luck on your weight loss and enjoy.

I needed to lose weight, I am a type 2 Diabetic. I called and signed up. I was not told that the 2 year contract would be over 299.99 and 216.72 plus food. The food made me sick and my sugar got so high. The food is not good. Do not join.

I don't have a positive experience to share. The food lack taste. They tried to compensate this issue by increasing the amount of pepper and spices which took a hit on my stomach. I couldn't tolerate the amount of spices they put in their foods. In general the food had an after taste that stayed in my mouth until the next meal. I wasted a lot of money buying different foods and trashing them because of irritants to my digestion. If you need to lose weight, consider investing in a dietitian. It has worked much better for me. This way I can carry on with my busy life, eating real food and be able to take the knowledge with me during my vacation and business trips.

I went on Jenny Craig for about 6 months many years ago and yes I did lose weight however I caused major damage to my gut health due to their foods being full of preservatives and chemicals. I would never recommend the Jenny Craig program.

I made an appointment online with Jenny Craig. My appointment was at 7 PM. I arrived 20 minutes early. There was no one at the reception. Shortly after, two people came to the front desk clearly laughing and joking around. I was greeted and advised my representative would be with me at 7 PM. I sat and waited thinking my representative was busy and would be with me as soon as possible. To my surprise, Stacy was one of the two people joking and chatting. Clearly my business was not important to this office. When I was called back Stacy was unprofessional. I asked for pricing and was told, "I'm getting to that." I walked out. This office is unprofessional and in no way would I ever go back to ANY Jenny Craig.

I first went to Jenny Craig in 1994 and lost 40 lbs in 8 months. Back then they had mandatory classes on nutrition, exercise, maintenance etc. I just went back last week again after 22 years and gaining back the weight after numerous back surgeries and the inability to exercise much. Things had changed, they no longer had the mandatory classes and the entire process has been streamlined. So far in week two, the food is small portions but filling and the weight is starting to go down very steadily. Most of the consultants there have been through the Jenny Craig weight loss program themselves, so they have their own stories. The staff has been great and seem to really be about your being successful. Yes, the food is extremely expensive, but you get what you pay for, well portioned foods which are fairly tasty.

I started JC back in 1994... Lost 60 lbs in 8 months. Even after having 2 kids going up and down. Here it is 2016 went back to lose 10 lbs. All went well. Great consultants. Great food. I have my fave choices of food. All the negative comments I have read. It's crazy. Yes it costs money. Nothing is free. You're paying for convenience as well as what you take away from learning to plan daily meals when on maintenance. If you aren't learning you aren't listening or engaging in the conversations with your consultant. I have no complaints... Do I wish the food was a little less, well of course... But it's a business they guarantee weight loss it works... I have lived it.

I joined JC in 2001 with my mom. Initially the experience was good but went downhill. I purchased a lifetime subscription because I felt it would give me more bang for my buck. The food was good and I was able to fill in gaps with store purchased foods. I lost 30 pounds and was quite happy with the result and recommended it to my friends. Over time the weight creeped up and I was back to Jenny. The second time the results were as good as the first (even though I followed it to the letter). Fast forward to 2007 and I tried another diet that worked, but as with other diets the weight came back. I eventually ended up having gastric bypass surgery and lost over 120 pounds, that wasn't without serious complications.

Even on the diabetic diet option, I had the worst blood sugar crash of my life, I was very ill at work, sweated through all my clothes and was very hot and shaky. Thank goodness I work in a hospital so help was there. When I asked for a refund of the $200 I paid for a year membership (you get 3 months free), the woman hemmed and hawed and finally said "no refunds after 3 days." I did find it in the small print. I was calling only 6 days from starting. I advise others to avoid this company, once they get your money they will find an excuse to keep it. 3 days is not long enough to find out if it's going to work for you. And read the small print, they have lots of disclaimers.

Joined in 2009 with lifetime membership. Had a pleasant experience with decent counselors and halfway decent food. Lost a bunch of weight. Went back this May to try to lose the weight I'd gained back, not as much as I'd lost in the first place! I felt like I was rushed in and out. The "counselor" did not ask me about myself, I didn't know whether she has used JC until I asked. There have been changes since I first joined, she did not address them until I asked. Then she told me the company had been bought out by one of the food giants and the food was more expensive, and not as good. After I paid I was almost pushed out the door. She remembered as an afterthought to give me the Getting Started book. I asked where were the CD's and everything that I had gotten before and she said the new company didn't care about that. Not an auspicious start.

I went to a Jenny Craig location to find out about joining. The counselor appointed to me basically read off what plans they offer and proceeded to take a food order for the week which amounted to over $100. I received no explanation of the plan and the food is not the healthiest (high in sodium) or very satisfying. I am going back to Weight Watchers as I know this plan works and is geared for lifetime success.

I order a trial 3-day food kit and it came with hairs inside the packaging. When I called them, they told me that they would send "the hairs" to a lab to confirm they were indeed hairs. Then they would maybe replace the little dressing sample that touched the hair. REALLY?! WHAT A JOKE. It is disgusting.

Hi. I joined JC in 2001 in their lose 10 kgs for $10 programme (at 75 kgs and 5 ft 6 they had told me I was considered obese). I lost about 8kgs without exercise and then stuck. By then I had found the food too expensive so I just chose my own maintenance programme. The consultant was ok but once when I "fell off the wagon" coz my partner was eating KFC before we went for groceries and I was starving [a.k.a mantra "never go shopping on an empty stomach" ;)] and I had the tiniest piece and fessed up - she went completely overboard about it. I needed encouragement to stay on track - not to be berated like a child!

I liked the consultant I had and I lost the weight I wanted to lose, but after that, when you go on Maintenance, there are no resources to help you keep the weight off! I joined J.C 12 years ago, on the Lifelong Plan, and back then, they had the pyramid scheme to help you keep track of what you should be eating. 2 fat, 4 veg, etc. Now on my second time around, there are no resources anymore to monitor your dietary intake. How are we supposed to keep track of what we are eating? I'm disappointed in the overall lack of support after you reach your weight loss goal. I don't want to have to buy J.C food forever!!

I've done the Jenny program a couple of times now and was able to lose the weight I wanted. I find the food to be fine, not all of it, but there's enough to keep me happy. The reason for the lower rating is that my most recent experience resulted in some, what I consider to be, unauthorized charges to my credit card. I told them when I signed up in June that I just wanted to be on the program until I lost the weight. Apparently they had me sign something authorizing them to keep charging my account even after I let them know I considered myself done with the program... a form I don't even have a copy of.

I've been going to Jenny Craig for a couple of months. I've been losing weight (yay). But several weeks ago I stuffed a half-eaten food into my bag and forgot all about it. I found it the other day..... and it had turned into mould-coloured POWDER. The food hadn't turned mouldy... it had completely turned to powder. What is IN their food???

Their services are a rip-off! I wasted $800 with no results! The food is bad and high in calories. They want to get rid of you in 10 minutes at every meeting. If you ask them any questions, they hand you over leaflets that you can take home and read. I have heard from few resources now that they are very prominent in getting fake positive reviewed which are not real. Beware, do not fall in their trap!

I have not used their products. Seems quick and easy but expensive. Have been reading about them recently and researching. But years ago a friend of mine got hired by one of the centers to claim she lost all her weight there when this was not the truth. She lost over 100 pds but not on their program. She had before and after pics and it wasn't even on their program. I don't know if this was just a few dishonest people or just the whole program? Anyway buy a 2.00 set of measuring cups, a scale, and read labels. You can do this yourself with some prep time each week. And have better results!

I bought a lifetime membership in 2008 and lost 27 lbs. Now I'm told it was 14 lol. I have been on and off JC for 4 years and each time I go back I am disappointed. The food is awful. When a restaurant cheaps out and changes suppliers they usually go under, and I think JC is heading that way. My current consultant bashes the company all the time and when she goes on Maternity later this year she is never going back, but she tells me she cares and I have to get my ** together. What a hypocrite. I went back in April 2015 to lose my last 20 lbs. I went off of Jenny for a year prior to have a break. I lost 7 lbs my first two weeks but then I got sick of the food. I am on Jenny this week but have made up my mind I am not wasting any more money on this lousy program. You really are just a number they don't care, the longer you are there the better for them, but if your weight loss slows down it looks bad for them.

I thought I was eating well and healthy but I learned on Jenny Craig my food portions were too big. After being trained on the proper portions of food and why I eat the way I did emotionally, I learned how to lose to weight. I kept the weight off for 8 years but now with menopause, I find myself eating out of control again. I am going back to Jenny Craig to get guidance again for this stage in my life at age 52. I have been overweight from age 19 to 44.

I started Jenny Craig and was not losing weight very fast, but that was ok. I went to my doctor and a Nutritionist and was told by both of them that I should not go below 150 lbs. When I went to Jenny they basically told me that I made my goal weight to be 145 lbs and I said yes but now I have seen my doctor and Nutritionist and they both agree that I SHOULD NOT GO BELOW 150 lbs. Jenny's food is laced with so much sodium and all processed food. It's ridiculous!!! So now Jenny won't give me 1/2 my money back and will not give me the 10% reduction on food, because according to them I didn't reach my goal weight!!! All Jenny cares about is the money. They do not really care about the client!!! I want to warn other consumers about how Jenny really works!!! People are better off just going an buying a Treadclimber. It's cheaper and then you have the Treadclimber for life and it's cheaper than going to Jenny Craig.

My experience with JC to-date has been wonderful. I am 56 years old and I have tried a lot of diets over the years. This one has worked for me. I have lost 33 lbs over less than 5 months. The consultants at my location are excellent and knowledgeable and willing to modify the plan to meet my needs. They are definitely about ME as an individual and not just about sales. I am now halfway to my goal and transitioning back to my own food. I recently "took back breakfast" and told them I would like to make my own dinners on weekends. They were totally fine with it! We will see how I do. I am absolutely committed to keep the weight off... and, losing even more.

Overall I had a good experience with Jenny Craig in Winnipeg on Regent Ave. I was at Five Guys in the same parking lot. I saw the Jenny Craig sign as I ate my oversized burger portions and took it as a sign to walk into Jenny Craig to see what it's all about. As soon as I walked in I felt welcomed. The manager ** spoke with me like I was her friend. I didn't feel judged. She gave me all information and there were no hidden cost.

I felt as though I had to write a review after seeing the program get bashed! This diet is easy to follow, the food tastes good, and it is satisfying. I don't know if anybody who wrote these reviews tried their primary competitor's foods, but it is inedible! The only thing about this program is that it is VERY expensive. I really can't afford to be on the program at this time, but felt as though the health and self-esteem benefits from it would be well worth the struggle of coming up with the money.

I lost 10 pounds in 4 weeks but you have to count calories (and exercise) if you want the steady weight loss they advertise but don't guarantee. They want you to follow the menu exactly and to leave the calorie counting to them, but if you do, you may find that you are consuming a lot more calories than you think. I counted calories for their 1200 calorie personalized menu, and even with their lowest calorie options, my calorie count was over 1300. Now I ignore the menu (and lie to my consultant!) and count calories. You will lose weight if you follow their menu too, just be prepared for a slower weight loss, which is what they want. It's a business. The longer you are on their program, the more products you buy and the more money they make. For me, it's money well spent. If you are disciplined enough to just count calories (which I am not), you could achieve the same results on your own.

I signed up for Jenny Craig. Waited on hold a LONG time as they instruct you to call to set up appointment with consultant to call you. They scheduled a consultant call. They never called me. I tried again to get through their phone lines -- It would either hang up on me or say, "Call volume too high right now." No one ever called me -- I had emailed in the meantime. When I finally got them on the phone, I had two months of $39 charges - FOR NOTHING, since I was not receiving services or using the website. The customer service rep would only refund $39, even though by her own admission, Jenny Craig had never had a consultant call me, as they promised to do. What a crappy experience.

I ordered the three day sample package to make sure I liked the food. Was suppose to receive the food today by UPS. Waited all day and called the company. They said UPS said they already delivered it. I didn’t get it and wasted my whole day waiting. Called the company back and said “I want a refund since I didn't get my food”. She told me that I couldn’t get refund because she was sure I would get my food. I explained I needed it today because the next day I will be working. I asked for another number or an extension to reach since she was no help. She would not give me one. If I don't get it by midnight I will be calling the credit card company for my money back. I'm so glad I didn’t sign a contract with them. The lack of customer service and help shows me this is not a good company to deal with.

I like the food and when I follow it I lose weight. When I signed up they offered 50. off food, 30 on your first order and 20. on the second order. I was not given the 20. off my 2nd order and they have given me so much hassle to make it right. Makes me much less interested in continuing their program. My consultant is nice but clearly more of a salesperson than a counselor. Watch your order and charges very closely.
