Why should you join our friendly dieting community?
Do you want to lose 5, 10, 15 pounds and just can't make it happen?
Need to get ready for a wedding or beach vacation? Maybe it's leftover baby weight
or perhaps it's a beer belly (which brewed up in college). No matter
where the weight came from, we can help you take it off. We are not here to sell
you anything - we promise & it's all free. All we do is put a
wealth of weight-loss information at your finger tips, give you access to experts,
fun weight-loss information, tracking tools, easy to follow meal plans, plus a
rock-strong community of other dieters to offer cheerleading, and best of all, friendship.
You have nothing to lose, except for that extra weight, of course.

A Nutritionist Weighs in...
Jenny Craig promotes balanced nutrition and healthy foods, but the required Jenny meals and snacks may turn off some dieters. For someone who does not want to think about what they eat or who does not dine out often, this plan may be a good option. However, if you enjoy cooking or eating out, you will most likely find this plan boring and inconvenient. Dieters may also find it difficult to go from this type of plan to the real world where you are required to make many food choices and select appropriate portion sizes.
I also do not like to promote eating prepackaged meals for every meal of every day since many chemicals and preservatives are used during packaging.
Eating with Jenny = Living with Jenny
Jenny Craig requires you to only eat Jenny foods, which will prevent you from dining out with friends or even eating the same food as your family. Traveling will also be difficult since you would need to cart your Jenny food with you. The price could also be an issue, since buying the Jenny food may cost more money than you normally spend on food. If you do not find these issues problematic, then Jenny Craig may be the right program for you!
