I was on JC many years ago. It was very expensive then also, and it didn't work! I tried Nutri System last year, and had GREAT results! Plus, the people were great, as was the support. I averaged about 3 pounds a week loss. The cost was under $300 a month, plus you have to buy your own fresh veggies and dairy products. They have a nice program of free food too. I know I sound like a comercial, but I had very good success with this program. I have been overweight most of my life, and have tried everything. Good luck to all! Barbara

Hi I had to fast forward to the last of the comments so I could share my story with Jenny Craig and how bad it messed me up. Ok I started at 190lbs and used the online program which cost me around $500 monthly but did include a maintenence program so I was told. Any how I was determined to lose this weight and set a 120lb goal weight (I'm 5'4). The food at first tasted great and I had a real nice motivating consultant that I got phone calls from weekly on the Jenny Direct program. OK I'm happy so far but spending tons of money with every order but I didn't care because this was it and I'm gonna do it this time. Fast forward 8 months being 100% on program and exercising more than ever in my life, yep I was down 50lbs leaving me at a very thin 140lbs for my frame cause I'm bottom heavy so my top got real small with all the exercise I was doing, I now know that I should have made 140 my goal weight rather than go for 120. Now remember everyone at Jenny Direct they don't know how you look so that they could really advise someone on their body weight goals. Ok so I'm going strong fitting in size 6 yay!! My hair starts falling out in clumps yikes I was afraid when I washed it I actually thought I saw a small bald spot and went to a dermatologist to see what's up with this. Anyhow we figured it could be the JC vitamins I was taking and what do you know, I stopped the vitamins and stopped losing hair. OK all my consultant could suggest was to start eating the bars rather than the vitamins because the bars had vitamins in them. OK I started buying the bars now. Fast forward...my consultant just quit on me with no warning and that left me feeling bad. Turns out she was promoted yeah probably from all the sales she made through me. I now am left with trying to find another good consultant which never happened so slowly but surely I was staying at 140 getting discouraged because I still had 20 more to go. I should have been put on maintenence at this point but nope Jenny Craig only wanted more sales from me and never considered anything with my weightloss. OK OK I'm almost done here folks I had to stop buying the food due to personal reasons and still had no consultant to support me. Within a few months I watched myself binge eat like mad and I gained it all back plus some. 234lbs is where I had to start all over with. I was never this big in my life and I never was a binge eater until Jenny Craig detox. Watch your money with this program!!!

Oh my God- I am so thankful to all of you. I am so glad I found this site. I googled in about JC to get info about joining them and before I clicked on their official site I clicked on this site. I am glad I did. I am not that over weight -147.5 at5.4" but wanted to shed some extra fat on undesired areas. When ever I excersize to shed some fat, I loose on my face than on those areas. Face looks so skinney and unhealthy. I thought may be JC could help in suggesting the right food and right excersize which will give me a glow to my face. I'll give Nutrisystem a try instead, I've heard good things about them. Thank you again for all of your comments and experiences.
