Jenny Craig

theluckiest555

Hey, has anyone here tried Jenny Craig? What did you think about it? I am thinking about trying it because I want to lose weight both for the wedding/HM (which is in July) and just to be healthy. My FI has diabetes type 2, and there is also a history of that kind of diabetes in my family. I just started a weight loss program (well kind of, I joined www.sparkpeople.com), but I need some extra help because I have cercumstances that make it hard to lose weight such as depression (and all the meds I have to take for that) thyroid problems,, etc. I looked at the program and it looks good. I really like that there are individual consultations and personalized diet plans. Anyone had any experiences with it?

My mom use Jenny Craig and was really successful on it.  i think she lost her 30 in a pretty reasonable amount of time.  Like 6 months.  I was on the program at the same time and it did not work for me at all even though i was eating the same stuff she was and working out more.  Worth a shot though!

I'm a Spark member too.  It's really helpful.  i love that i can use it not only for watching calories, but also for advanced meal planning.

I have no advice about Jenny Craig, but I used SP and it is a great tool!  I noticed the boards over there were very active so you may want to ask if anyone has gone through losing weight with the medical concerns you listed.  I would be willing to bet you'd get some great responses.

I tried Jenny, it was ok. My biggest problem with it was it was way too expensive! I couldn't afford their food.

I've tried it and had very little success. The weight loss was really slow compared to other diets I've been on. Plus it's quite expensive. And as a person who likes to eat out quite a bit, it wasn't very practical.
