Oh my God! I should have done my research before I signed up w/ JC 3 weeks ago. If I came across this thread before I signed-up w/ the Platinum Plan... I would never, ever dream of stepping inside a JC store. I met w/ a Counselor who is as wide as Montana and she has no personality whatsoever. I felt like she was one of the clients who need some cheering up. Not only that, they will show you the most expensive membership that they have and discourage you to choose other options. Yes, I'm losing inches but I found an affordable alternative, Lean Cuisine (Costco pack of 4 for about $8.69, 250-270 Cal.) and fruit bars ($3.29 6 bars for snacks, 100 Cal.), cereals ($3.29 a box ,100 Cal. 3/4 cup) and salads ($2.99) from Whole Foods. You have to count the calories you eat everyday. 3 meals + 3 snacks in between + exercise. You can start off by doing brisk walking for 30-40 minutes everyday and see how you melt your inches away. The counselors at Jenny Craig won't do you a thing.

Thank You for helping me to make a decision. I was also caught up in the commercials from Jenny Craig and was prepared to set up a counsultation. Just reading this info helped me to realize that Nutri System is the way to go.

As so many have written, thank you all for posting your comments about Jenny Craig. I, too, have vacillated between going on my own common sense, NutriSystem, or JC. I think in the end, my common sense is the best bet (and definitely the best price!) Like many, I applaud whatever effort Kirstie Alley has made to lose weight, but I too am disappointed by Jenny Craig's capitalizing on her progress by taking credit for her weight loss due to liposuction! On the other hand, much of corporate America is all about the buck and couldn't care two figs about the general public...pretty sad. I'm sorry to anyone reading this who has suffered at the hands of JC and their so-called "counselors". Best wishes to everyone!
