Jenny Craig Platinum Membership

Pros: It provides structure, and is fits easily into a busy schedule.
Cons: It is pricey, and you have to eat differently than other household members.

I am on my second go around with Jenny Craig. I did it about 10 years ago, and I successfully lost about 30lbs. However, I then began taking diet pills and became bulimic because the weight loss was not "quick enough" for me. As a result, I lost a ...

Pros: Good dieting sense, liveable diet plan.
Cons: Too expensive.

Jenny Craig has several plans you can choose from. You can sign up for a specific period of time, such as 6 months or a year. Where I live, and when I joined, the 6 months membership was $199 and the 12 months was $299. But they always have specials, ...

Pros: Nutritional, convenient. Teaches lifestyle. Return any time. Half membership fee back after maintaining a year.
Cons: Cost prohibitive for many people. The personal consultants vary in quality.

I lost 40 pounds on JC in 5 1/2 months. I contacted them after I got blood work back from my doctor saying my LDL chloresterol and my tryglycerides were "borderline high". I had already known I was overweight, but my health was the real issue. I was ...

Pros: Structured; pre-planned menus
Cons: Relatively expensive; counselors unhelpful

I recommend Jenny Craig to people who like structure and do not have to cook for their family. I went on Jenny Craig last year and ultimately bought 3 months worth of food. I did the plan that you can do over the phone and have food delivered to your ...

Pros: The "Pro" is having not to think about your meals.
Cons: Would recommend only if you are really motivated and work out.

I work from home. Some would say it is a blessing and a curse. Its not quite as structured as working away from home with scheduled breaks. My problem was not having the time to make breakfast before my 3 hour conferance call. I also wouldn't have time ...

Pros: A great way to learn portion control.
Cons: A little pricey but you can wean yourself off pretty quickly.

There is NO EASY WAY TO KEEP WEIGHT OFF. You have to change your lifestyle that made you overweight in the first place. My counselor at Jenny Craig not only encouraged me each week, she helped recommend ways to "stay on track" even when I was ...

Pros: Teaches you basic dieting technique
Cons: Is far too expensive for lacking results

If you have read anything about me you will know that I have dieted many times in my life and this diet is the one I hated the most. Jenny Craig advertises great deals like 20 pounds for 30 days, yet they only tell you in fine print that you HAVE to pay...

Pros: Friendly, knowledgeable staff, decent food, good hours of operation
Cons: the food can be more expensive than grocery store food

In June of 2004, after a breakup with a boyfriend and a bad shopping day at the mall where nothing fit, I walked by the Jenny Craig office. I walked by a few times and finally went in where I asked for more information. I started off with a trial ...

Pros: food is good, food variety is good, alternative choices are easy to adapt to lifestyle
Cons: food can be expensive, but no more than eating fast food

I am a 43 year old woman, mother of 3. I have always struggled to keep my weight around 130 lbs. I know that to a lot of people, that doesn't seem like a big deal. But for me, unless I am diligent in staying within a particular range, the weight will ...

Pros: Results and yummy food
Cons: the cost

I started Jenny Craig 3 weeks ago. I lost 11 lbs in my first 2 weeks. The food is great! Their food is frozen though so it will take up some freezer space. Some of my favorites are french toast, oatmeal, their version an egg mcmuffin, turkey burger, ...

Pros: Wonderful concept.  Learn a very healthy way of eating and when followed, you DO lose.
Cons: Food ridiculously overpriced. Its a business all about money w/a spiel & a rip-off. 

I joined Jenny Craig @150 pounds (I'm a 39 year old mother of 18 year old twin boys) so I wasn't morbidly obese but I did have some weight to lose as 135 was target.  I went there for the 20 pounds for $20 special and let me just say this to ...

Pros: umm...I can't think of any
Cons: horrible food, horribly expensive

This is one sure way to lighten the load - and you'll feel it in your pocket! I thought that after years of trying weight loss programs that worked for a week or so (but never more) I'd be willing to join a proper weight loss center, change my lifestyle...

Pros: program works -- consultants are very motivational
Cons: results are short-lived

I joined the Jenny Craig program because I heard of a special that offered 6 weeks of Jenny for $36.00. Things were going well, and I was losing weight, but then the six weeks ended. I thought I could just sign up for another 6 weeks for $36.00, but...

Pros: The program is structured and easy to follow.
Cons: Not everyone is ready to really commit to changing their life.

I went on the Jenny Craig program in 2001, and lost 55 pounds. I have kept it off since then, using the principles I learned on the program. I also found that, while the food isn't cheap, it is really good. It is much higher quality than Lean Cuisine ...

Pros: Excellent tasting foods, a program offering a wide range of foods YOU choose from, one on one approach to weight loss and many more benefits of losing weight with Jenny Craig
Cons: Costs about $80 a week for most of the food you'll need to buy, at times I find the counselors not to have all the answers

Please read my success story with Jenny Craig! Don't let others' opinions scare you away from trying an awesome weight loss program!

I'm baffled about ALL the negative comments concerning Jenny Craig here at Epinions.com. I've been on the...
