Jenny Craig is one of the more ridiculous, sinister weight loss programs out there. It is a scam. The consultants don't want you to get better, they want to trap you and take your money. no wonder they have so many celebrity endorsements- celebrities are the only ones who can afford to use jenny craig as a maintenance program.

Do you have money to burn? If so, join Jenny Craig. This is the biggest rip off in the dieting industry I have ever seen... When you start the program they will tell you that their meals cost between $15-$18 per day but I figured out my daily cost and it was an average of $20.00 per day which doesn't include the optional items you can buy from Jenny Craig that they list on their weekly menus. To spend $600 on one person per month on Jenny Craig food (and I use the term loosely) is ridiculous. Add in the cost to buy the groceries you need to supplement this horrible diet and you are paying an awful lot of money to lose 1-2 lbs per week. The counselors at Jenny Craig don't know anything more about nutrition than an experienced dieter and if you need to be motivated by someone, don't pay Jenny Craig for counseling. Ask your parent, spouse, or good friend to be the one to give you encouragement and weigh you weekly. Trust me, someone who cares about you will give you more inspiration and motivation than the counselors at Jenny Craig - they don't really care if you lose weight because the worse you do the more money they make on their food sales. Please don't waste your money on Jenny Craig. It is so not worth it despite what their celebrity endorsers might say.

Name

I purchased the life time membership in 2003 but never reached my target weight mainly because I quit due to the high cost of meals. I went back on Jan 2, 2012. From the time I entered the facility (there were no clients except me) they greeted me with a "ho hum - what do you need" attitude. This only got worse when I told them I was a life-time member. The counselor that reluctantly assisted me only weighed me, never took my picture, etc. When I inquired that I preferred doing my own breakfasts and salads, she was not happy and said the program would not work unless I did it 100% with their food. She finally made some minor adjustments on the food selections but I still walked out of there with a $142 food bill for one week; plus I still need to buy my own fruits and vegetables. Will not be going back. They got my money and have demonstrated that this is all they care about.
