Re: I joined Jenny Craig today...
Thats how I lost all my baby weight
( and then some) with my DS 
I'm a lifetime member, so I am going again to attempt to lose the weight from my DD ( although its coming off much slower this time, partially due to my laziness  )
Good Luck !!

Re: I joined Jenny Craig today...
Awesome!! I did JC for a while before my wedding and lost 35 lbs. I of course gained it all back and then some with the last pregnancy and kept it on with this pregnancy but will probably be returning when I deliver DD#2. Good luck! It's soooo easy to follow!!

Basically you buy your food through them and supplement with your own salads, vegetables and yogurt...They have menus to follow and you buy the food that coordinates with the peticular menu you are following that week...Once you reach a certain point, you can begin to customize the menu
( exchanging one meal for another if its something you don't care for) ...then when you reach another point you replace one meal with your own food etc....
I love their breakfats food and their dinners are very good also...the lunches are always eh to me though

Not positive on how much the food costs yet. I have to go back on Monday and set everything up. I am pretty sure it's about $75- $100 a week depending on if you pick the shelf food or the frozen foods.

Since I had joined a few years back there was a different promotion going then, where as the more weeks you go you reach discounts on the food ( I'm at 30% off right now) Not sure if they still have that going...The registation fee was lower as well....So for me food is probably around $80-90 a week....
In the beginning I would say a fair bet would be approximately $20 per day or around $140 a week...(Their frozen foods are more expensive then their shelf type food so its hard to gauge)
It sounds high, but in actuality if you typically buy food out once a day
( which it always seemed I ended up doing) isnt all that bad ...And of-course you need to take into account that you add your own fruit/vegetables salad etc....
Just to give you an example.....
A frozen lunch can be $5.49
where as a shelf lunch is $4.39....
Dinners are the most expensicve meal ranging from $4.99-$6.49
Snacks are between 1.39-2.69
(I'm looking at my ordering form )

I heard that shelf foods arent that good?? The frozen ones are better?
I wish they would list their foods and prices online... I am interested in joining but I dunno if DH will go for it once I tell him the cost.

Some of the shelf foods are good, but overall I prefer their frozen foods as a whole...Now that I am at the point that I choose all my own foods because of personal preference (even though I should be following their outlined diet still since I am not at my goal weight), I would say 70% of the food I "choose" are the frozen....
Their shelf snacks are really good and there are some breakfast cereals I get as well as 1 or 2 of their shelf lunches and dinners per week ....
Their consultations are free...In the beginning I started off having the food delivered by Jenny Direct because I wasn't into the whole "consultation" thing ( but there is a delivery fee so I stopped that)...Maybe if you call them , they can give you some prices over the phone but basically in a nut shell, what I gave you is the norm straight off the order form as far as the food goes ...
You could always go in and then not join after you get the info too!
To the OP, sorry to hi-jack !!!
