Like many women I have struggled with my weight since high school. So I go into a Jenny Craig in Manhattan, New York to find out what they were about since I've seen all the commercials and right a way the lady asked me how I would be paying for the program. I told her I was a full time student and that I would need some extra time to pay for it. It's like she didn't even try. After that, we never talked about my weight problem or anything, she just kept saying that it would be much easier if I had someone to help me pay for it. She wasn't even nice, just very business like, the complete opposite of the commercials. I never even got a pamphlet or flyer or anything... I left there feeling worse than when I came in. Needless to say I never lost any weight and have been a little afraid to go into another weight loss center for fear of being treated the same way. Don't get me wrong, it is them I am afraid for, because if another human being treats me like that again for any reason I am likely to SNAP! Screw Jenny Craig!

Jenny Craig is not a good program. 1.The food has a lot of fiber so it expands in your stomach to make you full.--This could even enlarge your stomach so when you get off of the program you will need to eat more to fill your stomach. This is how people often gain weight after they stop the program. 2. The food looks nothing like the packaging. They show you a visual picture of how thing look and when you take them out of the package it looks nothing like the picture. 3. They add extra ingredients onto the food, ie onions. I the turkey burger, you would expect the burger to have only turkey. They put a whole bunch of stuff in there. 4. About them lying it is all true. I got completly different answers to the same questions when I asked two different workers. 5. Would not allow me to return the food even though it was just bought and still in the closed packages.

I have read most of the comments for the last two weeks and I am so glad I found this site. I have to lose 25lbs. Medical reasons and I was looking to Jenny Craig to help. Like a lot of people I don't have the money to waste and if it is that costly, I would expect the counselors to be working with me through the entire plan. Doesn't sound like they do. Thanks again, I'll check out Nutrisystem.
