How does anyone feel about Jenny Craig verses Weight Watchers?

Question

Do these programs really work, Im considering,

Answer 1

Weight Watchers is much better because in the long run, you learn an entire new way of cooking to maintain your weight. With Jenny Craig, you have to buy their expensive meals and learn nothing about nutrition.

Answer 2

Although Jenny Craig is more costly it does work the best,....everyone I know that has gone on this diet looks terrific.....they've lost weight in a sensible amount of time a really look good. 2 friends, a co-worker of mine, and Kirstie Alley were on this diet...Kirstie is still plugging away with it.
I've known people for years on weight watchers....they do up and down and sometimes still look the same.....amazing results with Jenny Craig though.

I can't speak for JC, but I did do WW, and here is my opinion of it:

I really enjoyed the program. It is good to get weighed in and have an accountability system to other people as incentive to lose weight. The meetings are so full of awesome ideas for good foods, dining out ideas, exercise tips, and just general support. I lost 52 pounds and have kept it off for over a year. It was way easier and more effective than anything else I tried. I always balked at the idea of going, because I thought that it was expensive, but the money I saved on eating less food (especially at restaurants) actually balanced it out quite a bit, so my budget was hardly affected.

CONS for some people:
Costs money (I personally thought it was worth it because it worked so well)
Needs self-control (just like any diet, really)
If the meeting leader in your area is a dud, the support might not be great.

PROS
It works if you stick to it.
It is easy (takes a couple of weeks to learn it, but then you get into a pattern that is easy to keep up)
You don't have to cut out your favorite foods (just eat sensible portions of them)
The support at meetings can be very good
Lots of on-line support groups for people using the same plan as you, and good support materials are available.
No pills
They encourage slow weight loss, which is the healthiest and most permanant type of loss (programs that promise quick loss are doomed to fail, most bodies just can't handle it).
You don't have to buy special food, just buy groceries like normal.
They have a good incentive program for people to keep the weight off...free lifetime membership!

Answer 4

Hi,
I've tried all different diets, and the weight loss is only temporary. I finally tried diet pills on the market are made from Hoodia. I saw this stuff on ABC News. It's all natural and safe, and it works! My wife took it for a month and dropped 20 pounds. I took it for a month and lost about 13 (but I didn't exercise).

I bought the natural hoodia from this website: http://www.alllsite.info/free-diet-pills.php . I checked the web site address so I can post it here and I saw they're running a promotion now to get a free 2 week sample for only $4.97! I'm going to order this supply for my wife and give it to her for Christmas =)

Answer 5

if people would exercise more they would not have to worry so darn much about food...Are you really serious about doing this? We are talking about hard work. Putting down your little debbies, getting off your butt and not only going on a diet but EXERCISING!!! Even if you lose the weight it will come right back if you do not have the desire and motivation to not only look cute but to be healthy. it is going to take alot of inner strength I can assure you of that.

1.) eat 4-5 small meals a day

2.) drink lots of water

3.)exercise every day

4.) do not eat 4-6 hours before you sleep.

Answer 6

I prefer WW because you buy your own foods and can cook for the whole family and shop according to your tastes and budget. Jenny Craig is packaged foods, and is costly, and only the dieter gets fed.
