Right now they are having a special to "all your weight for $49 plus the cost of food". If this is truly the case ($49 plus around $100 per week), what the negative in joining? What would be the penalty if I decide after a month that I just don't like it? For LA weight loss, you pay all the money upfront, so if you quit, you are out quite a few hundred dollars. I'm looking for the catch with this deal. Please let me know!

♥ ♥ you eat their food and a bit of your own...I would try Nutrisystem first... its a bit cheaper and they offer a few more calories... I tried jenny craig and kept getting sick... if you dont have a lot of weight to lose try doing it on your own... drink more water, cut out flour and table sugar, cut down your portion sizes.. I know its hard but it does work and think you could use the money you save to buy new clothes in a smaller size.. ♥ ♥

Jenny Craig is a great program with no real negatives that I can think of. I used it when it first came out and lost 25lbs in a little over 3 months. I know nutritional technology is a lot better than when I did it, and the food was good then, so I'd bet it's even better now.
I believe the $49 + food deal is for 2 months, so it's great for losing a quick 10 - 15lbs, or as a good way to try the program without longer term commitment.
Check out their website and you can call or eMail them for more information:

You can even buy a $22 sampler package to try the food beforehand:

I can't think of any drawbacks and wish you the best of luck!

There isn't a negative to joining. You eat the food you buy and go to the center once a week. You can stop if you want, anytime. You tell them what you want to lose (10, 20, 30....) and they try to get you to that point. No extra money is lost if you don't continue, just the enrollment fee.
But, think positive and try to make your goal weight. No diet is easy though, neither is this. This one is like Nutrisystem - you have to eat the foods they supply. Once you reach a 1/2 way mark, they let you eat a few meals on your own.
Hope this has been helpful.

How does it work..?
The food is in aggravatingly small portions, and good ingredients (such as cheese, or butter) are often replaced with not-so-great ingredients (tofu, hot peppers).
Frankly, I found the program very difficult because the food was too highly seasoned for my taste, and not very well prepared, either (the so-called "cake" was coarse and dry; the so-called cheese burrito had tofu in it; certain frozen foods had to be disassembled and microwaved in stages and then re-assembled, etc.).
Much easier to just cut the junk out of your diet that you KNOW you shouldn't have, and do it on your own.
