Jenny Craig Weight Loss Center

I was flabbergasted at how much the food was!! To top it off, you barely have anything to eat! You're much better off buying weight watchers or lean cuisine food and doing it on your own!

In May of 2019, I weighed 241 pounds; today (1/27/20), I weigh 188 pounds and am three pounds away from my goal weight. The JC Coaches are cheerful and very supportive - they help you through your setbacks! Almost all the foods are delicious! // UPDATE: I reached my goal weight of 175 pounds in early April 2020 and have maintained that weight to date (9/29/2020).

I joined Jenny Craig (for the second time) in 2018 and lost 60 pounds in 11 months.  The food is tasty and low sodium, which is important to me.  I used the Type 2 Menu plan for Diabetics even though I am neither diabetic or pre-diabetic. *Type 2 has more protein and less carbs than the other plans.*  Once I had lost my weight, I continued my weekly weigh-ins and purchased some of the meals that I really like (Mashed Potatoes with Fried Chicken [ & peas & gravy! -- is one of my favorites!]).  I maintained my weight loss for well over a year, but have started to creep back up since Covid-19 has impacted their in-person coaching operations  *There is no substitute for knowing that you are going to step on a scale in front of a live JC Counselor and have her record your weight to keep you sticking to your diet plan.*  I tried every food on their menu at least once, but if I did not like one of their meals, I let them know the next time that item came up and they were quick to pick a substitute item to place on that week's menu plan.     I like the food, I like the plan's flexibility -- they even have a travel menu with meals that do not rquire freezing or refrigeration.  The counselors/coaches are helpful & friendly.  I found that the best way to keep the weight off is to continue your membership and weekly visits after you have met your goal.  *It also helps to develop your own personal menu plan and stick to it after you have met goal and stick to your plan!*  I have had a life-long battle wiith weight control and have tried every diet known to man - nothing has worked for me like Jenny Craig.  They are expensive, but they are worth it!!!  The consultants in the Fresno, CA office are really good at helping you maintain your motivation.    I do *not* understand how anyone (other than a competitor) could give Jenny Craig a rating of less than four stars -- it just does not match my experience at all!  I give them a rating of 5-stars and believe that is what they have earned while helping me reach and maintain my weight and active lifestyle goals.  I am 79-years old and weigh less than I did when I retired from the Marine Corps more than 30-years ago.  I recommend Jenny Craig without reservation!

I have been with Jenny Craig since 1999. In the early years I bought the lifetime membership because I've always had weight issues and, importantly, blood sugar issues, and I wanted to have this resource for the rest of my life. I've tried MANY diets and food programs. Jenny Craig makes me FEEL the best with respect to my low blood sugar, for which I need to eat every 90 minutes, and minimizes cravings. Plus, while on it I could sustain my weight loss without the usual cravings swings from regular food. The company has changed leadership over the years, and I have had to adapt. This past year I had trouble locating someone at my regular center who could best work with me under the new rules, and yesterday I met the manager at the Fresno center (Niesha) who graciously hooked me up with Summer, a JC counselor, to get restarted. Summer was wonderfully accommodating; she was exactly what I needed, and I am on my way again.The full menu food may be considered expensive, but  you have to decide how you spend your money otherwise, and what it's worth to you to feel better. If you want only fresh food in your daily life, you'll have to buy all the ingredients and take the time to make nutritious "diet" meals yourself. While working full time, I was not making that happen. Enter Jenny Craig..."because I'm worth it".
