Re: SWR Jenny Craig VS. NutriSystem

I can't really compare, I just know that my mom has been using Nutrisystem since January and lost 30 pounds, she looks great! She wants to keep using it until my wedding! (Even though I think she looks fine!) She likes the food, and I've tried some of it... it's not bad, some I've liked better than others... but you pick what they send you. And you do get to eat a lot, and they have you add in your own snacks and salads. I recommend it from what I've seen!

I'll ask my sister. She works for Jenny Craig and she also went to school for food and nutrition. She's honest and will say if they both are good no matter if she works with one. She gets 50% off there food and I eat it from time to time and it's really good.

Re: SWR Jenny Craig VS. NutriSystem

I've done both.

Jenny Craig's food tastes much better but will run you $100+/week. NutriSystem is much cheaper, as they are always running promos for a free week, free shipping, etc. - it will run you about $275 for 5 weeks.

Both work, however it is unrealistic to expect that you'll be able to lose and keep weight off on a diet consisting of pre-packaged, processed foods. If you're looking to jump start your weightl oss, by all means either is great. But for permanent weight loss, at a much lesser cost, I'd highly reccomend Weight Watchers.

Good luck! Any further questions, fm me!

Re: SWR Jenny Craig VS. NutriSystem

My co-worker is on Jenny Craig. She lost 40 pounds about 1 1/2 years ago and kept it off but she is still eating Jenny Craig meals. I've never tried either one but just wanted to add in about my co-worker. I hear WW really works. My friends started about 2 or 3 months ago and lost about 20 pounds

Re: SWR Jenny Craig VS. NutriSystem

I did NutriSystem. I did it for about five or six weeks and I lost about six pounds which was pretty much all I wanted to lose anyway. I started eating normal food again and I gained back five pounds. From what I've read, that's pretty normal when you do anything like NutriSystem or Jenny Craig...when you stop eating the meals, you can gain it all back. In NutriSystem's defense, I also had to stop excersing because I had a broken foot, so I'm sure that didn't help.

Re: SWR Jenny Craig VS. NutriSystem

I did nutrisystem and lost 22 pounds the 1st month. The food was not great but edible and a little expensive. I had to quit because fh had an allergic reaction. There is wheat in everything they make and he found out he is allergic to gluten and now has to see a dermatologist and is on a pill they used to give people for leprocy. Sounds gross I know. Heads up. it's works great just make sure all the wheat is ok for you.

Re: SWR Jenny Craig VS. NutriSystem

I've heard great things about both but if I were to do one I'd pick Nutrisystem
