I would just like to say that Jenny Craig does work wonderfully! I lost just about 65 lbs on it. I started the end of may 07 and by march 08 I had reached my goal.
It was pricey, yes. But I used that idea to help me stay motivated and not stop. Really tho, everything costs money. I looked at it as investment.
The support that you get from your consultant is great, and it really keeps you accountable for your week. Also the majority of the ladies that work at the center have themselves lost weight on the program.
The program does allow for some cheating..hehe.
I did one dinner on my own sometimes more and had drinks on the weekend.
Also, I did my own breakfasts...anyone can measure out 3/4 of a cup of cereal and 1/2 cup of skim milk!
I did not sign up for the maintenance side of the program. I thought that was a bit much. I have been doing that on my own. So far it has been 4 months and all is good. I do now exercise 3-4 times a week. Sometimes more, when I know that I have been indulging more than I really should.
Jenny Craig taught me how to eat, now I continue to do so. It is a great way to loose weight. I would suggest it to anyone, to help get you on track. Because, it is something that you need to see to believe..I ill eat 6 times a day...little to no other exercise and loose weight!
