need to know the approx cost of the trial program. didn't know they had one. Votes: +1

Why don't these programs ever break down the fees up front, and give you a hint as to how much the program is going to cost? So many secrets. They want you to join...then they'll hit you with the bill! Votes: +1

I have been on this diet since April. I would like to correct the calorie info. it goes up to 1700 calorie plans. Kim, the cost is based on the up front fee for whatever level you choose (as much as 300 the first year food) food costs between 4-6 dollars a meal and you have to buy produce and dairy. My current weekly bill is about $70 dollars for Jenny food. Gourmet it's not but it tastes good. Votes: +0

You need to update your information - the calorie level varies from 1200-2300. The food is rather good and you can spice it up with your own veggies and seasoning. They have different programs to suit your needs but maintenance is a key component in keeping the weight off. Votes: +0

I was on Jenny Craig. In the beginning I lost weight. But their so called counselors have no idea what it's like to be heavy at least the one's at the two centers I've gone to don't. They seemed like skinny stuck-up B****ES. As for the food, well its good in the beginning, but then it gets real tiring. Plus they discontinue the food that you start to really like. Plus the cost of the food goes up 5 to 10 cents ever other month. It not a bargain. But one thing it does work but, remember you can't live on Jenny Craig all of your life. Votes: +1

You need to eat a balance diet with fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy ans some fats. Jenny Craig will have you lose weight, once you back on your own food. You will gain all the weight and more. The diet from the biggest loser is great and you loser weight properly and keep it off. Go website for www.jennieo.com for great recipes. Votes: +3

You are all correct in some way. I joined Jenny Craig in the beginning and became a life time member. They no longer offer this but membership is cheap. I have used the diet from time to time and when I know I need to drop 10 pounds fast, I am so glad I ahve it to count on.

The food can get old if you keep making the same choices. You have to diversify. Also, there are so many ways to improve the food too..example: pesto pizza alone is okay but way better if you add some veggies like,mushrooms,tomatoes,onions,jalapenos,spinach,brocco li etc. whatever veggie you like and cook it extra long so it is super crispy (this makes the time to eat it way longer and more satisfying to me)..I eat one of these every day with a salad and a bag of 100 calorie popcorn (not Jenny Craig brand lol) Also, for breakfast, I add a banana to every meal for a great fill.

The longer you are an active member, the more you save on your weekly bill. I get 30% discount and it only cost me $35 each year. It cost me about $65.00 a week to $75.00 depending what items I choose (frozen products are more expensive then dried) but that means with dairy and fruit and veggies, I am spending just about as much as I was before because I ate out, had leftovers that I ended up tossing every week and I always bought too much fruits and veggies that they would go bad before I could use them. The good thing about being on this diet is that you know exactly how many fruits etc. you need for the week. I actually spend wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy less by using this diet....and when I am out and need a treat, I DO go to Subway and get a 6 inch veggie delight with mustard, bag of baked chips and a soda and I count those calories in for the day.

Remember this one thing about dieting...you see food and you can have anything you want..anything at all but if you are interested in losing weight, you simply choose to say this statement (I can have anything I want but I CHOOSE not to have that..) Giving yourself the powerful choice, makes all of the difference in your success. Also, if you do have that something "bad" once in a while ..so what..get over it..just move forward with your diet at your next meal. You should never feel deprived either..have a bite and it will satisfy you and not ruin your whole day. Seriously, people fail if they feel deprived and binge...no more need to binge if you choose to watch you calorie intake... REMEMBER THIS IF YOU REMEMBER NOTHING FROM THIS RESPONSE if you see that apple pie staring at you and you are salivating (lol), "I CAN HAVE THAT APPLE PIE IF I WANT IT BUT I CHOOSE NOT TOO THIS TIME" "I WILL THINK ABOUT THAT TOMORROW LOL! Good luck with your new way of life. Putting on pants that you don't have to unzip when you sit is soooooooooo liberating...GO FOR IT!

Personally I think this program makes it easy to diet because most of the food is prepared, but like Janine mentioned we can add seasonings, vegetables, fruit,saladand dairy to add variation just make sure you keep track of your caloric intake, so that when you/we go into maintanance on our own cooking we know how to prepare healthy low fat delicious meals. Like Janine mentioned noboby is perfect we can have a pice of pie one in a while,give ourselves the choice whether to eat or not a certain food. Always keeping in mind will this benefit my health? I desire the best to all you fellow loosers (lol) Votes: +0

I am glad to see that they have a trial period. Nutrisystem tastes terrible with a bad after taste ( lots of preservatives), ediets were pretty spicey but fresh. Would like to see a "sample day" in stores, that would be easier to try out. I think that would "up" sales. I know these are expensive. But you pay for the convenience of someone else doing the planning for you!

A Simple diet is: Meat....fruit....vegetables! I lost 50 pounds in 52 weeks and kept it off for 2 years. Get rid of the junk!! That simple!! Easy? NO....simple? yes... One day at a time... Votes: +0
