I thought, "Hey Gina, why not go to Jenny Craig and lose some weight?"
"Yah? Me?"
"Yah! You. You're worth the cost, eh?"
So off I went to look up Jenny Craig online and what did Gina find? A lot of unhappy people.
EVERYTHING has a few unhappy people, so I look for which way the scale is tipped (pun intended) and I noticed that most everyone said:
-- The staff is untrained
-- They care only about selling the food
-- You pay $80-$90 a WEEK in food alone and that doesn't count your membership costs --Membership consists of weigh ins and rude counselors when you don't lose weight.
-- The food is kind of disgusting
-- They consider selling you Jenny Craig cheese puffs as education on good food choices
Shall I go on? Oh no, I shall not go on.. the Jenny Craig diet.
Coincidentally, they have almost NOTHING online about Jenny Craig herself, it's all about her husband and how he's the big mastermind making all the money and driving the business.
I was poisoned by Jenny Craig peanut butter anytime bars with salmonella, they didn't even call people to tell them they had tainted bars even though they knew it. However they will call you every week to be sure you don't miss your appointment.
The staff is not trained. My staff person needed to loose more weight then me.
Their untrained staff had me on too few calories for a month and I wasn't losing weight, hungry all the time.
If I had it to again I would go to a local nutritionist, much healthier, and more knowledgeable.
JENNY CRAIG SUCKS!

The same people that cry about the cost of Jenny Craig are the lard azzes that drop a bill on fast food every wek. I know, I was one of them. Jenny Craig food is leagues above every packaged food out there and you have the convenience of having it ready to go. Who the hell wants to weigh and prepapre 4 meals per day. Who has time?? In the microwave.. ding.. taste is excellent (and I'm picky on food)
You sold yourself short by litening to unhappy pundits (most people in active addiction think everything but themself is the problem). Give this program a shot. you need someone to answer to. Not all consultants are created equal. There are great ones and there are ones concerned with only sales.
Original bloger.. If you are still fat or overweight, give JC a try. I have dropped 63 lbs on the program in less than a year and I eat ALL the time.
