I have been on Jenny Craig since 1/3/06 and have lost 134 pounds. The food is amazingly delicious. There is something for every taste - sweets, salty, cakes, cookies... I have 30 more pounds to lose and am hopeful that will happen between March and July of 2007 (closer to March than July). My mom joined the program in a different state. She can do practically no exercise due to an injured ankle and arthritis. She has lost over 30 pounds so far. You can try any diet in the world and fail due to the program or fail due to yourself. You can talk smack about any program out there but I've got news. You won't find an easier or more delicious program than Jenny Craig. You won't! If you work the program, it works! Bottom line. Is it expensive? Hell yes. Is it worth every penny? Absolutely!
