lj--Glad to have you! Good luck with your journey and we are here for you! I'm from the Madison area and have been with JC two years now. I've lost 95 so far.

Looking forward to hearing more from you.

I am also in Madison and am thinking of joining but am worried about the cost. It is more expensive than Nutrisystem? I would spend about $250 for 28 days with them...

I started with Jenny Craig and because of the cost I left and went to nutrisystem. I tired a few days of their food and returned the rest (you can return on Nutrisystem, you can't on JC) I went back to Jenny. I bit the bullet and paid for the JC quality. I thought the Nutrisystem food was just plain nasty. JC is more expensive but the quality is far above Nutrisystem..and think about it, you will be eating this food for several months, you want to eat the yummy stuff

Hello all--

To those who are questioning the cost...take it from me who has struggled with affording the program...it is worth every penny regardless!!!

I spend roughly $78-95 a week on foods with JC. I spend another $40-60 in groceries each week. I don't buy fast foods and I don't buy junk any more. People always scream at the pricetag, but forget to figure in the stops at Starbucks, the vending machines at work, the fast food lunches and the take out for dinner on the way home, etc. How much are they really spending each week? It adds up to much, much more. The quality of the foods are really great--like I would make at home if I froze individual portions. Compare that to a lifetime of diabetes meds, heart meds, high BP meds--JC is a steal. I also can't put a price on how great I feel now.

Even when I was stuggling financially, my DH insisted I stay with the program. He said that my health was more important. I've been on a very long plateau right now, but I'm still trying and that's key. I don't ever want to be the woman I used to be--I've even been told I'm sexy by a man who isn't my DH! I'm 50 yrs. old!

You are worth every penny you spend on yourself--it's an investment in YOU! That way you can be around for your loved ones and participate in their lives for a long, long time.

Gotta go, but luck to you!
