Jenny Craig® is a well-known diet program in the United States that seems to market itself to mostly female consumers. This program aims to teach dieters how to eat in moderation, increase their activity levels and find balance in their daily lifestyles. Jenny Craig® is known for its use of celebrity spokespeople, which has increased its overall popularity. However, due to its high overall cost for the complete program, there are many dieters who prefer to look at other options. Read a full Jenny Craig Review Here.

Nuphedrine® -- Burn 500 More Calories per Day
Nuphedrine® is simply a crowd pleaser. They say that you will burn at least 500 more calories per day – and the customers back this up. Check out their positive blog ratings. Nuphedrine®’s formula contains only three primary ingredients: Real South African 20X Strength Hoodia, Advantra-Z® (30X Strength), and the patented appetite suppressant, Slimaluma®. This one is always neck and neck with Miracleburn® for customer satisfaction postings. The formulas are very similar, but Nuphedrine®’s is definitely stronger on the metabolism-boosting side. It uses a more potent form of the main ingredient, Advantra-Z®. This formula gives a powerful kick, and dieters will lose weight fast. Read a full Nuphedrine Review Here.

HoodiaP57 - Pure 20X Strength Certified Hoodia
This product is simply as good as Hoodia gets. It is 100% certified, pure Hoodia from South Africa. It also boasts 20X the strength. If any Hoodia product is going to suppress appetite, this is the one. We also like that HoodiaP57 contains nothing else except pure Hoodia -- no fillers and no stimulants. This means it is safe to take whenever you want – including close to bed time. There are hundreds of Hoodia products on the market now, but we don’t even bother to list them on this site, because 99% of them are just cheap imitation Hoodia that is not even from South Africa, where the P57 molecule is the most effective. We chose HoodiaP57 to be on DietBlogTalk because it is of the utmost quality. The maker even includes a certificate of origin from the South African government stating the Hoodia originates from there. This product has nearly a perfect ‘Thumbs Up’ score. Check this one out.

Slim 10® has hit the marketplace with a huge bang. This is the first and only weight loss pill ever made that has combined 10 different patented, clinically proven effective ingredients. And to top it off, they added 500mg of pure South African Hoodia in a 20X potency to every serving. This pill is pure weight loss science. In fact, with this many award-winning ingredients in one capsule, we don’t see how anyone could not lose weight by taking it.

HoodiaBites
This product is just what it sounds like - chewable Hoodia pieces. The good news is that they actually use a superior quality form of Hoodia, and it works. In fact, this is probably the fastest way to feel Hoodia, because when you eat it, it digests so much quicker. In fact, most customers report that it works in about 5 minutes. The chewable pieces are very much like a piece of taffy and taste good. They kick in faster than a quality Hoodia pill, and definitely do the trick. They are only a few calories per piece, and may be taken safely throughout the day. This is a good product to use by itself or in conjunction with another diet pill/program.

That’s right – the Flex® products use FDA approved medical-grade electronic toning technology that it is clinically proven to work in just weeks for 100% of users!

MiracleBurn®
Miracleburn® is a pretty amazing phenomenon. It has consistently received one of the highest ‘Thumbs Up’ blog ratings on our site. The really amazing part is that most of their customers come from word of mouth, and it is quickly becoming one of the most popular diet products available. The maker of Miracleburn® doesn’t spend tens of millions on advertising like alli®, Hydroxycut® or Curvelle to hype their product. They simply let their satisfied customers virtually do the marketing for them. We suggest reading through the postings. The formula consists of a quality form of Hoodia, combined with the patented metabolism booster, Advantra-Z®. It also has several other balancing secondary ingredients.

(U.S. Patent 7,060,308) -- We found that this ingredient is proven to drastically suppress the appetite. When you’re hungry, the hypothalamus tells the brain that food is needed. And when the stomach is full, the hypothalamus tells the brain to stop eating. Slimaluma™ sends a signal to the hypothalamus telling the brain that your stomach is full, which helps people eat much less.

Kay: Does anyone know if you actually HAVE to buy the food from them or if you can actually just make recipes. Oh and also if anyone knows how much it cost to join, the website is really confusing, when you go to how much it cost they said it depends they don't even say between that and that which I think is not really cool. I just want to know if I can actually afford it before getting started... Anyway, thanks for you help!

Marcia: On Jenny Craig I've felt very supported in my weight loss and have been making steady progress for the past 6 months. I'm still 20 lbs from my goal, but I've already lost 15 so that's okay wiht me, I know I'll get there. This is the only program that has worked for me and I'm pretty sure I'll be able to keep the weight off once its all gone, because I'm finally learning how to eat properly and take care of myself.

Courtney: I am encouraged when I see stars I admire such as Valerie Bertinelli lose weight and keep it off using Jenny Craig. I have been looking for the righ fit for me and I think this is it. I need a flexible plan and I do not mind taking it slow and steady since I am a 45 year old mom and not a starlet. I think it is sensible and safe. I will probably get started this week and let you know how I am doing. My sister in law has been doing the diet for three weeks and she says it works so that is just a piece of inspirational information for all yall.

d.n. rafael: do u half too pay to be a membmer how much does it cost to be on jeeny craig?

Norine: well, I love all the ideas, recipes and menus available. You can see how many calories and all the nutritional information and that really helps me to plan meals for my family. I did not grow up with helathy foods and I am trying hard to lose weight and be a good example for my kids. I think there are great ideas for light summer cooking to find their.

Fleur: Saying anything other than wonderful about Jenny Craig approaches blasphemy, right? Well, I have some questions! Like, what happened to Kirstie Alley, hmmm? She looks like she's walking around on telephone poles for legs, and every single bit of weight she lost using JC is right back and it looks like then some. So how can this be a good diet plan? They should have given her a free ticket to Wyoming, never to be seen again, rather than letting this poor diet failure be so in everyone's face. If it didn't work for her, how can it possibly work for me? I mean she was getting paid big bucks to show how it was a wonderful plan! So for a regular old person to try this in the face of this colossal celebrity melt down? Doesn't make sense.

Polly A.: The food was okay on Jenny Craig, but they do want you to buy it. Between the cost of the program and the extra cost of food, I spent a fortune on this diet program! It was not that bad of a program overall, but I just felt a little suckered into spending extra money, on supplements, bars & the meals. I could've found that stuff cheaper at the grocery store, it wasn't worth it to me.

Jeanie: I cannot believe the cheddar jack ball is part of a diet plan! I served it at a cocktail party this past weekend and it was such a hit. I am going to use every tool they have got and I know that I am finally going to keep off the pounds after the summer diet. Going walking with friends every night keeps my metabolism going strong and is fun like this great plan!

Gillian: The biggest problem I have with Jenny Craig is the food, and I don't mean the price, but the fact that it's all so processed. There's nothing natural going on with this food...it's like eating endless hot pockets and frozen peas and I don't like it. Pretty soon everything tastes alike, I'm bored, but have to keep eating it because I've all ready paid for it. Not very tasty, and not very healthy if you ask me.

Tisha: OMG, I am a huge fan of Queen Latifa! I have loved her music since the late 80s, at home we had all her music. She is also a pretty great actor, loved her in Cabaret. Anyway when I heard that she was gonna start the Jenny Craig program ans also be a spoke person for it I was a bit disappointed as I always thought she was really beautiful the way she is. I listed to her speech about why she decided to start the diet which she explained is because her grand mother died of diabetes so she wanted to live a longer and healthier life I totally heard what she said. It made sense. Being over weight is not so much a matter of how we look but how we feel. I too decided that I wanted to live longer and be healthy, I have joined Jenny craig because of Queen Latifa and I am very happy I did.

Glenna: I like the Jenny Craig plan 'cause I don't have to think while I'm on it! That's my biggest downfall with food....as soon as I'm finished with breakfast, all I can think about is lunch...what to have, how I'll serve it, how nice it will look on the plate...it's a constant mental image! But with Jenny, it's all done for me, I number the boxes in my freezer with the date and time of when I'm supposed to eat them, and that part of my eating pattern is broken. The more I can get food out of my head, the better!

Vickie: I am not convinced that Jenny Craig is the very best diet. I do think it has some good points, like informing you of every gram of fat and stuff, but I have found that the more I htink about food the less I lose. For me, there are good guidelines here but I am going to try a soup and lemonade diet supported with an appetite suppressant.

Sara: At first I was really excited about my decision to join Jenny Craig, and the center is not too far away from my apartment so its not a big problem to see my consultant once a week. The problem I'm having is that my consultant is...well, a little rude, or maybe just judgmental. I just don't feel comfortable with her. Has anyone had this problem before? I am considereing switching but I don't want any bad blood at the center. Seems like a silly thing to quit over but I'm at a bit of a loss right now.

Hester: I love the bars on the Jenny Craig diet, in fact, I think they're the best part of the food that you have to buy. But it's all really expensive, and I wonder if you couldn't substitute some of the same types of things with ones that didn't cost as much? For instance, my favorite Whole Foods has a lot of frozen vegetable meals that have the same or less calories as JC, and why wouldn't that work just as well? I'd get a little variety, and not have to keep ordering the same old stuff. Has anyone tried this?

Deanna: Well I kinda like the food, I don't think its soo bad. The supplements & stuff are overpriced, I don't buy mine from Jenny Craig, I shop online for better deals. Found an amazing fat burner that way, between that & the JC plan, I've lost 14 lbs. I just am not sure which part of the combo is working better, so, I'll stick with both for now.

Jennifer: The food is Blah, that is not how I want to live my life. I don't want to be punished because I had 3 beautiful kids and have not be able to loose the extra 18 pounds yet! I am sure there are better ways to lose weight. I tried Jenny Craig just cause they spend so much money on advertising that it is all you hear about when you search for diets. I wasted way too much money and time with that program! 2 Thumbs down.

Sarah: I think for once it is nice to have a diet that understands how important food is in society. You have lunch with friends and dates for dinner and home coooked meals on sundays. If I did not have the support of my friends at Jenny Craig I would never have lost 30 pounds and am keeping it off. I consider myself a recovering food addict and Jenny knows how much support I need. This is a diet for real women in the real world. I thank them for theri guidance and bravery.

Jewell: The first few weeks on Jenny Craig are really good...you feel so in control, the weight is coming off, and you're programmed into some pretty tasty food. Or, at least, it seems that way. But I'm all ready getting tired of the strict regimen, and of eating what turns out to be a series of small choices of what's ok and what's not ok to put in my mouth. I don't like that! I don't like the lack of control I feel about my food choices...I mean, I'm making choices in my menu and so forth, but it's still not being prepared and tasted by me, and I miss that!

billie: so i'd heard so much about jenny craig for ever & ever i finally thought i'd join. i went into one of the centers (first consultation is no charge, you know) and met with a consultant, got a tour and all that. then i was talking to the woman and learned that you don't need any type of credential to work at jenny craig. i don't wanna get advice from just anybody, i want a professional, thank youvery much.

joan: I'm so disappointed in Jenny Craig! It's like finding out there's no Betty Crocker! First of all, when I went in to join and talked to a counselor, she was like barely out of high school, as skinny as a pin, and not very bright. Not too good a start...then I was offered some classes and tapes on nutrition, which turned out to be oh so basic they really weren't worth it. And that's not all. Do you know how much that food COSTS? Like about $120 a week! For one person! In this time of trying to cut back, I'm going to do just that! A big NO THANKS goes out to Jenny Craig!

Florence: Jenny Craig is a very good start for me to lose weight, I just started a week ago and I don't find the food to be bad at all. I actually never cook, I work long hours and usually crab some greasy Chinese takeout or pizza after work so this is a nice upgrade and I still don't have to waste my precious time cooking. I did stat working out which is very difficult and wonderul at the same time. I love the pain you have after working out when you wake up in the morning. So again, I just started last week and feel pretty good about it. I know that a couple friends at the office have had success with it that is why I tried in the first place so I'll will stick to it already lost 2 pounds.

Kit: Why is everyone whining about Jenny Craig somuch? It's a wonderful plan, obviously works, and it is my new favorite way to finally lose some weight. Here's why: l. The counselor I talked to has remained my counselor and I call her whenever I need to, which is a lot. 2. I loved listening to the tapes to get all the nutrition facts...it's a very good back-up for me, and helped fill in some food smart holes I didn't even know I had. 3. The food is yummy! Isn't all that enough?

Elaina: Jenny Craig makes dieting a chore. I do not need that. Life is too short. I tried to lose weigth on Jenny Craig and could not live with all their preachy articles and torturous packaged meals. Instead I am learning to eat seasonally and incorporate fun exercise into my day. I do take a fiber supplement to maintain my systems and metabolism but I am working hard and enjoying all the pleasures of the season. And it is paying off. I lose a dress size this past month and I know I can do ever better this month.

Loralei: How long do you think Jenny Craig will take for me to lose 60 pounds? When you go in, do they figure that out for you? Because that would determine the price, and that's very important to me right now. I'm not sure I can pay what I may need to, and I don't want to start unless I can go full tilt into the diet. So how does this get figures out?

Fiona: I appreciate the support offered on Jenny Craig, but I still prefer a good appetite suppressants to keep the hunger away and the cost of food down. My favorite is Hoodia bcs its natural, and I take Nuphedrine (http://www.nuphedrine.com/ ) for the fact that it burns more calories too. JC has taught me some things but I just need a little more, this seems to work for me.

Jan: I have tried nearly every diet out there from the insane to the doctor-approved. I am just starting on jenny and I feel pretty good about it.

Tina: Maybe I should've waited to see what happens with Queen Latifah before starting on Jenny Craig. So far, I've only lost 2 lbs, in 6 weeks, and I'm not enjoying the foods so much. The support is fine, its just, not really working yet. I don;t want to give up but I'm having doubts.

Mary: I think that it is easier to do Jenny Craig when you have a support system. I am going to start and become and member in September when our life is more structured. Summer time is too fun and chaotic. You never know what can happen or when the ice cream man is coming. For now, I am trying to walk in the nice weather and take advantage of veggies and fruits although many of my favorites are fried and picnic classics like burgers. Just have to maintain until september.

Monique: As others have mentioned eating the packaged meals does become tiresome after awhile. I needed to lose 15 lbs and just reached my goal last week, so now I'm off the packaged JC meals and learning how to cook for myself. Portion control seems to be key here, I'm not so worried about it, I'm sure I'll be able to maintain my weihgt.

Douglas and Ines: Just want to quickly share my experience with Jenny Craig. If you stick to it, work out or just run or walk 4 or 5 days a week and most important STOP MAKING EXCUSES ! You will really see results. There is no secret in loosing weight, whatever diet plan you chose, stick to it whatever that is, me and my wife happen to very happy with Jenny Craig's program because we both work a lot and don't have a lot of time to cook during the week. Just in case it was not clear, the diet really work and we love it!! Good luck to all.

Lorraine: My schedule is way too crazy to fit in a weekly consultation at a Jenny Craig center so I do the at-home program, its working well. I get the meals delivered and all the tools are online on the website so its easy to keep track of everything. The shipping cost is a bit high but for me its worht the convenience. I too take an appetite suppressant.

Anna L: With the nice weather its getting depressing eating my Jenny Craig lunches in the lunchroom every day. I;m really trying to stick to the plan, I know if I go out wiht coworkers I'll blow the diet, but I'm really struggling wiht this diet plan. I'm hoping to be done in about 6 weeks, but thats a long time to miss out on the noontime sun. Any suggestions are welcomed, thanks.

Beatrice: Jenny Craig is a smart way to eat but I have not lost as much weight as I wanted to in time for my daughters wedding so I cannot give it a thumbs up.

Colleen: Just moved to Venice, California because of a nice job offer. I have never seen so many beautiful people in one place, which leads to my next question? Are any of you from Venice, CA by any chance and are just so beautiful because you were on Jenny Craig? I hope the answer is yes. I am starting it as of today and I am very excited about. I chose not to get cable TV so I will be more inclined to go out and exercise and now I keep my fingers crossed that it works for me:)

Halle: I think that Jenny Craig would be better if you could drink alcohol. I would rather have a glass of wine than meat with dinner.

Mercy: The Jenny Craig Diet is better than Weight Watchers because I do not like being weighed in front of a bunch of strangers. Going to meetings always felt like I was an addict or soemthing. With Jenny Craig I can participate as much or as little as I want. I like being able to look up recipes and articles for free on their website. I think it is a good diet plan and I have lost 4 pounds already.

Maia: Jenny Craig is for suckers! This is the lazy man's way to diet...for heaven's sakes, you can do this on your own, just fine! and save a whole lot of money. I'm tired of all these diets that cater to weak wimps! Come on, ladies, stand on your own to feet, and make this weight loss your own...and plus, that will keep it off because you've invented it yourself! It's working for me, using just the foods in the frozen food depatment in Von's and I like being in control of my own food choices. So there!

Denise: Some diets never mention exercise, I like how Jenny Craig emphasizes that physical activity should just be a natural part of every day life. It makes sense and thinking that way has made a difference for me. I don;t see the harm in taking an additional supplement too, for faster weight loss, but the plan has encouraged me to spend more time moving and less sitting and I feel much better about myself.

Howard: Do you get all the ingredients details of what they put in theirs prepared meals on a sticker? Thanks

Claudia: I am so happy that I lost 2 pounds which I know sounds ridiculous to some people but if you have been overweight your whole life you know what a victory it is! I am learning how to eat which is wonderful and I do not ever feel desprived. The whole thing is oging great and I think I will soon have the confidence to start swimming at my college gym which will mean losing more weight faster, I cannot wait.

Shawn in NJ: Is Jenny Craig just for chicks??

Annamay: Didn't have time to go to the clinic and thought the online stuff was too much work. Jenny Craig just took too much time, writing journals and whatnot. I need the personal attention, I guess, I'm just gonna look for a trainer at the gym instead, since I already go there anyway.

Kristin: I am always trying different diets and I am not obese or anything, I just have about 30 extra pounds I have wanted to lose for a while. But something is always coming up like a holiday or vacation and I cannot seem to resist my favorite foods. I tried to be on Jenny Craig and I did not like the food they offered and did not think much of the diet. If I am going to finally lose weight it will not be like this. I think I will try a diet capsule or something.

James: I was not planning to speak up but since some people are ignorant I have to I guess. Jenny Craig is not just for chicks. I am a 30 year old man who was tired of being fat. I tried Jenny Craig and was welcomed into the group. I tried to follow their diet and though it did not work for me I respect them and their methods. I eventually went on a drastic cleanse and with the help of a great supplement I am keeping the weight off. I would recommend this plan to some men, if you are confident and do not have as much to lose as I did. I am giving a thumbs down but not for their ideas just for my alck of success on this diet.

Maria: Jenny Craig is not what you think it is. Mainly I think it's a dumping ground for diet foods that noone else could get rid of. The price and the quality of the food do match up, and I'm pretty miffed about that. It seems like it's really expensive for not very good quality...some of the meat even looked freezer burned! So how long has this stuff been sitting around? And the other problem is they just load this stuff up in bags for you before you get to see it, and you can't tell if there's been any damage to the containers. I'm definitely not sold on the system.

Chase: Okay, you know what eating out of a pre packaged boxe does not teaches anyone about nutrition and the people who work at Jenny Craig either for that matter. They gave the most basic "advice" even my 6 year old would know. Very disappointing. The diet is not design for people who love gourmet healthy food.

Helen: I was on the Jenny Craid plan for 6 weeks and guess what? I lost not one single pound. I do now know who can actually lose weight on this but not me, and I heard that Kirsty Ally got fat again too...disappointed.

Minnie: IN the beginning, all of the counselors were very nice & helpful, calling back quickly to get you signed up & basically, just to get your money. Then they lose interest and are on to the next sale, its all about making money with this company. I've been struggling to lose 25 lbs since last February and still can't get my weight down. I'm very disappointed with Jenny Craig, I've wasted lots of time & money for nada.

Olivia: I think this type of diet plan is a good one...I like the idea of prepared foods, not having to think about what you're going to eat next, all that seems a positive because that way you're not thinking about food constantly. And that's a good thing. If you know there's no possibilities of chocolate cookies at the end of the day, you can stop fixating, and just get onwith your life. However, some of thefood is not that great, and when that happens, I feel dissatisfied with the whole idea! And then I DO start thinking about cookies, and I'd like to find a diet pill or something that would cut my food cravings. THEN it would be a perfect diet!

Janice: I cant figure this out at all. I do not know how to calculate my BMi all I want is to just lose some weigth and not sit around and think about it for hours every day. I want a diet pill that will shed pounds. I will even work out but I do not want to talk about and think about food all the time...

Margie B: I must give Jenny a thumbs up because I lost 60 pounds on the diet 10 years ago and until the past year have kept it off. The food is very expensive, so I onlly buy the items that I like ...cheesecake, muffins, and the breakfast bars. I gained 20 pounds when I stopped smoking and I'm back on Jenny. I buy Lean Cuisine or Healthy Choice meals, have a piece of fruit for lunch and I'm good to go....I do modify but try to stay within the 1200 calories that my diet calls for!!!

Sandy: When I signed up for jenny Craig they told me i had to eat the Jenny Cuisine 3x a day and one Jenny's cuisine snack per day and that's what i did for the 6 weeks. It IS very expensive and i only lost one lb/week on average. Maybe there were other ways to do this? It was not working for me, sorry to say, just too darn sloow and costly.

Cindy: This if for Kay: I joined Jenny Craig yesterday. It cost $20 to join plus the cost of food which with tax all totaled out to $165. That is just ONE week of food (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and 3 snacks). At the first consultation, they weigh you, take your measurements, and tell you what it's all about, etc. etc.. They also have a $300 program plus the cost of food and if you reach your goal within a year of the day that you joined, then you get $150 back.

Cindy: By the way, I think the food is great!!! It's almost like you never stop eating.

Lorraine: Does anyone ever gain weight on Jenny Craig, bcs I feel like thats whats gonna happen to me. I like the muffins a little too much, it could be a problem. I just read a review on hoodia bites and am wondering if that would be a good addition to the program? It has a lot of positive comments.

Laura: I love Jenny Craig! It's like any diet, it works as much as you will allow it. If you follow the menu you will see the results you want. People are always complaining that losing weight is a slow process, I disagree. Usually it takes people months to years to gain 10-50 pounds, but on this program it can be off in less than a year. If you don't like cooking and you want to lose, this program WORKS : )

nancy: Hmm, well, i started having my doubts about Jenny Craig when i first saw how obese their recent "poster girl" Kirstie ALley, has become. I mean, she has ballooned up to be bigger than she ever was....this worries me. Sure, you can say that she probably is not following the program. Probably not. But the thing is, i think they should have taught her how to manage her real life eating habits by making healthy food choices. I am not heading into maintenance phase, and I don't think the maintenance phase of Jenny is strong enough. Obviously, we are people with a weakness for food, and when we are faced with many delicious choices out in the world, we often choose wrong. I am so scared that I am going to cave in like Kirstie did...and she probably has a personal trainer too!! I think i might have to try those HOodia Bites you recommended, Lorraine, just to give me some extra strength and motivation.

gayle: Well regarding Kirstie Alley, I read in People magazine that she's now decided to start her own weight loss program. apparently she turned down Jenny Craig and she wants her program to focus on helping people "end the seemingly never-ending fatty roller coaster ride." To me, that implies that she doesn't really consider Jenny to be a permanent solution. hm. not sure i would necessarily want to try Kirstie's own program, but this casts some doubt on Jenny Craig, for me,

Cecilia: Good to know I was wondering what happened to Kritie Alley.

cheryl bowen: yeah, kirstie alley was getting on my nerves, but what about valerie bertinelli? i saw her on oprah last spring and seemed pretty dedicated to the plan, and looks great. i've been toying with the idea of joining ever since then and am still not sure if jenny craig is the right choice for me. i need to lose 15 lbs or so & am trying to get some info about all these plans.

Sabrina: I have joined Jenny Craig last month and so far I only lost 4 lbs, not really what I had in mind when I started it. I am really not happy with that.

Heather: I just started Jenny craig and boy the packaged food is nasty. I am not sure I am gonna be able to last a long time with that kind of food. Any advice?

Fern: The planned menus seemed to be working well for me the first month I was on Jenny Craig, but by the third month, I was over it. Not enough variety, and I was not getting enough fresh foods. Its hard to spend MORE money on extra food items, when I already was spednign so much on the Jenny Cuisines. Since the weight wasn't exactly falling off anyway (only lost 7 lbs) I stopped. and now i;m looking for another way.

laurel: you know, it worries me that there is NO long-term data about whether or not people on Jenny Craig maintain their results. ANd this company has been around since 1983!! So there's no reason there shouldn't be some sort of information about whether this plan works for the long haul. For most other diets, you can find that kind of info.

Mandy Main: The program has been fairly successful for me so far, I'm in my fourth month of Jenny Craig & love not having to think about planning meals. I just let Jenny do that for me, and I make sure I go for a walk right after work, for 30 minutes at least, to stay active. Still, i found that I didn't know when to call it quits on some of the snacks & I also take a hoodia supplement, like someone mentioend (HoodiaP57 is my favorite) and then those extra calories are a non-issue. Anyway, I lost 19 lbs already.

alison: Well, i don't know...I find it kind of annoying that on Jenny craig, i can only eat the pre-prepared Jenny foods, yet i have to cook a regular dinner for my family. It most definitely makes it harder, making yummy dishes, knowing i will then have to microwave myself something kind of pathetic. So far i'm sticking to it, but it's starting to seem pretty unrealistic.

gilda: You make a good point, Laurel, but Jenny Craig is like any other diet: it can help you lose weight, but the maintenance is up to you. It requires work. So if people don't keep the weight off, can you blame the program? It seems to me that Jenny craig teaches healthy lifestyle habits, it actually seems like one of the better, more legit programs around. it HAS been around for 25 years, after all. Though I haven't yet, I will most likely be joining this program soon.

Christy: I AM STARVING!!!!

Linley: The food was bland and the support on the at-home jenny craig program was lacking. it didn't take long for me to lose my motivation. not a good program for me.

Sheryl: I am really happy with Jenny Craig, I loose an average of 4-5 pounds every month which for me is really good. If you commit to it, it really works. Its slow going but I dont mind I am not that overweight.

Colleen: They don't push supplements on the program, and I like that because, I probably wouldn't have joined Jenny Craig if they were outright telling me I should take additional pills to lose weight. But 3 months into the program , the weight was just not coming off. A little, not enough. I was perusing this blog and saw a review on Miracleburn, and figured it couldn't hurt. Now, I;m sure my counselor at jenny Craig would not advocate this, but, I have to say that since I began taking the pills 2 months ago? I lost 16 lbs! I don't mind taking them since I still exercise and eat healthy balanced meals. If your frustrated, just look for other options, thats what I did, but still never gave up on this.

sherry: I also thought the food was bland, esp. for how expensive the Jenny Craig program is. I liked the advice and the counseling, and i think the program would have worked for me if the food wasn't so awful. I don't see why Jenny Craig can't let us eat regular food....??

chocoPuff: I also want to start taking supplements, I wasn't sure until now but your post convinced me. I just can't wait to see more weight melt!!!

s.pierce: the food thing is not much of an issue for me, i am able to stick with the meals from jenny craig, and unless i'm at a party or in someone else's home, i don't really sway from the plan. its the level of activity that i don;t think is quite enough. i appreciate advice on "natural" ways to just move more, but, its not what i need. i'd like a more intense exercise plan, but i don't want to pay for a personal trainer AND jenny craig. anynoe have advice?

Grace: WEll, i don't want to complain but i noticed that once i started eating fresh, delicious food again (instead of Jenny Craig meals) my discipline and resolve just weren't so strong anymore. In that way, i guess the bland food is brilliant -- its like its own appetite suppressant! But once i was able to cook again, and enjoy a variety of flavorful dishes, my portion control kinda fell by the wayside. I'm not saying I *BLAME* jenny craig for this, I'm all for taking personal responsibility. But i guess i would have to say that for someone who might lack self-control, this program doesn't really set you up for long term success & maintenance. Good luck everyone, with whatever works 4 you!

Erika: Really, if you follow the Jenny Craig meal plans and exercise every day, and basically, just don't sit in front of the TV all night, you really should have no problem with weihgt loss. No, you're not gonna get results overnihgt, but I know I feel more...alive, the more active I am. The program gives me support emotionally, and that's why I'm sticking wiht it until I reach my goal!

Darlyn: "have you called jenny yet" Yes I did and I wish I never did. They fed me food that not even my dog would eat and I had to give them lots of money for that. I did 6 lbs in 3 months and gained back 9lbs the month after. Not recommended!

laurel: Another thing you might want to know is that regulatory agencies such as the FTC have cracked down on Jenny Craig for deceptive claims, like "Jenny Craig, Nutri/System, and Physicians made false or unsubstantiated representations that their customers typically reach their weight-loss goals within certain, predicted time frames." Hmm. Between that and no long term data, it makes you stop and think.

Peneloppe: I can care less about their support at Jenny Craig. All I want is to eat good food and to loose weight. Does it sound that impossible? It sure seems to be.

marjorie:
