Pros: helped you lose weight
Cons: you don't learn how to keep it off once you've got it off
I tried Jenny Craig back when I was in junior high because I needed to lose weight. I was chubby kid and knew it was time to do something about it. So my mom and I joined Jenny Craig.
I was on Jenny Craig for about 2 years and I did lose...

Pros: ???
Cons: High pressure, high cost, low results
After reading the comments by mbmattson, all of my suspicions about Jenny Craig have been confirmed. I have been on many diets over the years, and of all the diets and programs I tried, none have left me feeling as bitter as Jenny Craig did.

Pros: I Lost Weight - In The Short Term
Cons: It Doesn't Work - In The Long Term
My sister and I have struggled with our weight for our whole lives. Like everyone else, we had tried diet program after diet program. I clearly remember the day, a few years ago, when we finally decided to do something about it and go to Jenny Craig....

Pros: nice support
Cons: very expensive, lousy food
About a year after giving birth to twin sons I still had some extra weight I was struggling to lose. I felt that maybe I needed some outside help and guidance so I joined Jenny Craig.
First of all it is a lot more expensive than the...

Pros: For a Short Fix or A Few, Few Pounds To Lose
Cons: Expensive, weight normally returns when the program ends
You may wonder why I mention Nutri-System when I speak of the Jenny Craig system, and I am ready to explain! Jenny Craig began as an owner of a Nutri-System Franchise. As it was written into the contract that she (or any other franchise owner of...

Pros: Weekly Accountability, Everything is Planned out for You
Cons: Very Expensive, Counselors aren't Especially Well Trained
I first joined Jenny Craig about 7 years ago. While still in college I signed up, paid the fees totaling over $250 (while in COLLEGE), shelled out the $$ for some motivational audio tapes starring Jenny herself, and committed myself to weekly meetings...

Pros: Correct portion sizes, well-rounded meal plans, good support with realistic caloric and activity goals
Cons: Expensive.
I have been overweight since I was six years old. My family tried getting me to lose weight through fat camps, weight watchers, bribery and other failed plans. On my own, I have tried low carb diets, working with dieticians, soup diets and whole slew ...

Pros: Accountability, learning volumetrics, portion control, onon on one support, choices
Cons: Cost of the food is about 3x what you would pay in the grocery store.
I got on the scale and saw the number I feared most...200 pounds. I called Jenny Craig that day because I knew that if I didn't have some accountability and some "retraining" of my relationship with food, the problem would only get worse. When I went ...

Pros: convenient, healthy and balanced meals, weekly encouragement from your consultant, you see results
Cons: can be expensive for someone on a limited income and may also be difficult if you also have to cook meals for your family
I have been trying to get my weight under control, but bad eating habits and no desire to exercise can be a horrible combination. So when my weight sky-rocketed to an all-time high, I had to do something. I tried many different types of diets,...

Cons: Moderately Expensive foods, young counselors
I started this program two and a half months ago due to the fact that I have recently had my first baby and need to get to a good weight before even thinking of having another child. I was also diabetic during my pregnancy and have a good chance of...

Pros: No-brain weight loss
Cons: Can be expensive; you may need to be a little assertive about your needs
Having lost 55 pounds since April, and having failed at most other diets, I am a fan of Jenny Craig. This is slow, steady weight loss -- the kind that most knowledgeable health experts recommend.
It has solved my problem of eating badly...

Pros: friendly counselors and delicious food
Cons: very expensive
I went to Jenny Craig in 1992 and liked the diet plan very much. I did find it expensive, but I also found it very easy to follow and the counselor that I had was very helpful and knowledgeable.
I heard about the program from a friend and went to...

Pros: Good food. The plan absolutely works. And it teaches you for real life.
Cons: Costs more than home-cooked. Need a lot of freezer space.
I LOVE Jenny Craig. I've done Jenny twice. The first time, my goal was to lose 15 pounds. And I followed it religiously and did it in about 6 weeks. Then, I figured "my diet is over." And, you got it - it took about a year, and I gained all 15 ...

I am on my first week of Jenny Craig, all of the reviews really scared me but I decided to go with the trial membership. So far I have to say that is has been really great. The food is great except for that baked potato! What I found was that the main ...
