| Jenny Craig or Nutrisystem Anyone have any experience with either Jenny Craig or Nutrisystem? I am looking at the home delivery, not going to the centers. Please let me know if you have used and/or your success with either of them. I have to do something.....age is not helping my weight. Lol.

| Jenny Craig or Nutrisystem I've had great luck at Jenny. I did go into the centers because I need the accountability of being weighed in front of someone every week. The food is good, especially the frozen food. The 'pantry' food is good, but not quite as good as the frozen. Having said that, my husband and I each kind of hit a plateau (we were getting a little careless too!) and wanted to do something different to jumpstart a new losing cycle. I read Dr Fuhrman's book "Eat for Life" and we're currently on his 6-week plan which is pretty much a diet of fresh produce plus some legumes. It's working well and we've started losing again. We're close enough to our goals that we'll probably not go back to Jenny - we'll see. Anyway, I vote for Jenny but think about going into the centers if feasible. I, personally, am just not as accountable to myself as I am to other people Good luck. |

| I am open to hear of any other diets that have worked. I can lose it, the problem is when i stop the diet it comes back. I am so sick of it. I did a high protein and lost 32 lbs. I felt good, and thought I looked pretty good for 40! But after I stopped the diet, it found its way back home. My only concern with Jenny or Nutrisystem is when I stop buying the food it will just come back. I just bought a treadmill. Hoping it helps!

| man.. I wish I knew. I am not good at diets.. I like to eat. I don't have that little thing in your brain that says "stop" I do control myself.. if I didn't I would be 50 lbs more than I am now. I don't think any of the packaged diets work for long. I have been following Dr. Oz.. and the Flat Belly Diet. Mostly I write down everything I eat (I have an apt on my phone) and try to make good choices. I am about 20 lbs down from my highest weight. I have another 100000000 to go just kidding. I was so skinny as a young woman, I just don't know what happened And to make it even worst.. when dh and I were dating he joked that if I ever weight more than him (at the time I was about 100 lbs) he would divorce me. I hide the scale -- I have been for 15 years. The darling is still size 30 pant.. got to hate him.

My DH eats like a horse. All hours of the night. The only thing he has that has changed is his belly. Makes me so mad. I can just look at what he is eating and gain a pound. Another woman issue that is unfair....age and weight gain. Good Lord, you would think child birth and periods were enough!!!

Shots?!!! What in the world? Never heard of this. I thought I knew all the diet fads!! I have been hearing from my friends that Nutrisystem food was awful. They are saying Jenny's is better. But it is sooooooooooo expensive. And I am a teacher......well lets just say I am not at the top of the pay chain. Poor Tessie. Lol. You are going to give her a big butt complex.

| Jenny Craig or Nutrisystem? Jenny food IS expensive - that's definitely a downside, unfortunately. My husband and I were on it long enough to get to the 30% discount level but I don't think they offer that anymore. It does help re-establish good eating habits though. We decided to switch to the 'produce' diet after seeing friends of ours who simply switched to healthy vegetarianism just drop weight without really trying. Vegetarianism can be deceiving though if you include tons of pasta and starchy veggies but it's an alternative to paying someone to help you lose weight. And I'm absolutely convinced now that a plant-based diet is the key to good health. I'm a late convert at age 61 but now a believer. My friend who had type 2 diabetes is now totally off medication simply by going veg. Another good book is 'The Kind Diet' by Alicia Silverstone. Her web site The Kind Life is also a good source of info. She's a political vegan which may be off-putting if you don't agree, but the veg info is good and lots of good links. |

| Go get a brochure from Jenny Craig. The food is garbage food and is also loaded down with sodium. Not healthy food at all. Be careful. Weight Watchers is the best way to go when you want to lose weight and still be healthy.

| I'm on weight watchers and I really like it because you can have anything you want you just have to watch your proportions. Its not like a supper fast weight loss but it adds up I am losing around 1.5 pounds a week.

| Has anyone tried the Herbalife shakes? Everyone at work is on these and they make some delicious ones. I'm thinking they might work for me because I don't eat anything all day and am then starving at night. Even if I just put the shakes in my body during the day; I'm thinking this could help. My weight is just getting out of control an I hate it.
