Jenny Craig Reviews

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I am a big girl, and have always been a big girl. In desperation, like most of us, I've tried every type of diet (including injections of pregnant lady's urine, eating only hot dogs and lettuce with Crazy Salt on it)....
My story now is one of a work injury, multiple back surgeries, thus resulting in long-term (since 2003) pain, depression and sleep medications that I still must take. I have gained 50 lbs. due to the side effects of these medications, and decided to try Jenny Craig. (Food looks good on TV, huh)! I almost clicked on their website FIRST, but decided it couldn't hurt to read some reviews. I will be forever grateful to all of you who have spoken out about the program before I went ahead and spent money I really don't have on a program with "less than zero" results. Thank you.

Hi -

I've just read through these and thought I would leave my own comment.

I worked for Jenny Craig from 1996-1999.

When I started working at JC I weighed 120 and was a size 4. When I quit after 3 yrs of 40 hours a week listening to unhappy depressed people complain about their lives and their weight and then talk (in detail) about what they ate and how it tasted, I weighed 170 and was a size 16.

There is almost no training at JC and you get paid by commission off of food sales.

I can see why someone would boot a customer out of the program if they don't buy the food.

I never liked listening to someone whine about their life without some compensation.

Some people will sit there and talk to you for an hour about their bad marriage and how their life is a disappointment or their cheating husband and then only buy $30 of food. That was about 3 dollars on my paycheck before taxes.

If you don't like Jenny Craig... I agree, it sucks! I strongly recommend you eat better, think positive and exercise.

But the people who work for JC are not entirely to blame. Alot of it goes back to bad management and a poor pay system.

I was on JC many years ago. It was very expensive then also, and it didn't work! I tried Nutri System last year, and had GREAT results! Plus, the people were great, as was the support. I averaged about 3 pounds a week loss. The cost was under $300 a month, plus you have to buy your own fresh veggies and dairy products. They have a nice program of free food too. I know I sound like a comercial, but I had very good success with this program. I have been overweight most of my life, and have tried everything. Good luck to all! Barbara
