You should be able to see menus in the app, I believe.

Depending on which plan you purchased, you should have gotton a getting started guide and a consultant.  I think JC has a program now where you only get food, though,  They don't seem to consider it part of the weight loss "plans."

You can and should eat unlimited "free" nonstarchy vegetables.  You can have limited fruits, too.  

@Lynnzee Hi there!  Can you confirm what menu plan you ordered, that will help us guide you on if you have a plan to follow or other suggestions. 

Another good one besides Bolthouse is Bernstein's Light Cheese Fantastico.  That one is in the aisle with the shelf stable bottled dressings.

Ken's light dressings are great.  Ceasar, Chunky Blue Cheese, Northern Italian.  This is my first week so I'm using Jenny's but I compared the calories etc and they are very close.

Is balsamic vinegar and light olive oil a good option?

Wtg amazing

That's fantastic! 

@ChristiS I sure do!! 😉

@Medic mommy & @Lynnzee Thank you!! It turns out all I needed was a weight loss journey to do the thinking for me. JC has made it so simple to stay the path! 😃

Congratulations on joining a great program!  Believe me when I say Jenny Craig works.  Five years ago, I lost 40 pounds with Jenny Craig and I've kept it off!  I've never before in my life lost that much weight and kept it off!

Hi @barbara one year later thank you for your feedback.  We'll make sure to share this feedback with our internal team. 

My Fitness Pal is great - it shows all the nutrition of each food as you input the info.  I have been on JC before and am just rejoining again and it was one of the best at making sure I had all my nutrients.

I quite MyFitnessPal because I really started to detest double tracking. I started to follow the diabetic exchanges and it was so much easier to remember. I had so much on my plate, literally. Track food, track weight in Libra and Garmin Connect, track steps and actual activity outside the usual basal activity. Actually remember to write my food macros down and journal because I didn't need to order all the JC food because I was at goal or near goal because they changed the program. It got crazy so I left and started to do a whole nutritional program with a dietician. I'd love to go back to JC for the convenience but now that its delivery due to Covid according to the calls I've been getting, I don't want to pay that extra cost. Can someone update me? Are centers open now?

Hi @kitikat938 we're sorry to hear about the technical issues you are experiencing.  Please private message me your phone number and I'll have a Supervisor reach out to you to help resolve this.  Thank you! 

I did.

Sometimes you can gain weight the first week because the low calorie items weigh heavier in terms of mass. Ex. a tiny piece of candy vs. a whole apple. Give it a week and see if you drop then. Also salt/water weight/ time of the month can affect it too. Also I agree you do need to add veggies. Jazz them up or try a new one? For example spaghetti squash with tomato sauce tastes sooo much like pasta. I love it!

I mix steamed veggies into many of the dishes including the various versions of scrambled eggs.  The gravy and sauces work well with them.

The veggies are important.  Salads.  That fills me up and helps.   But if you are eating almonds cashews and pistachios that could completely derail all your work.  Check what you can substitute. 

Hi @Jdgange at this moment out DNA testing has been retired.  Thank you and have a good day.

miller 64 or michelob ultra, or vodka are lower drink options. Wine spritzer. Sounds funny when you order it but in the glass nobody knows.

Last time I was on JC with a consultant, she said you can mix any lunch/dinner item you want for your daily meals.  There isn't a set meal plan that works better.  They are designed to mix and match what you like.  The meal plans just make it easier to follow for some people.

Hi @Gizzma, Welcome to Jenny Craig! If you are following our Classic menu you are allowed up to 3 Limited Foods per day. For example, 1 limited food would be 1 tbsp of cream cheese, barbecue sauce, or sour cream. We would be happy to mail you a copy of the Getting Started Guide, feel free to send me a private message with your information to your account. I can also email you a PDF version until it comes in the mail. 

I did find the PDF in the Jenny Craig app but the book would be helpful when I'm out and for a quick reference. Appreciate it!! I sent a private message with the info, Have a wonderful day!!!.

I want the welcome packet too (we paid top dollar).  I asked customer service if I could get one mailed and customer service said NO I could have pdf.  WOW.  I have 1st phone mtg tomorrow morning and will ask.  But my experience not good with counselors  but strong with community. I think it’s terrible not to send all the info packet with order.   I’m a lifetime member and kept weight off long time.  I’m starting over today was first day.  It went just fine.  I want to pick my own food too much sweets.  And I’ve forgotten what is difference between classic and balanced plan. I had no clue what plan I was put on no discussion and despite telling rep I don’t like sweets I got tons of sweets.  I don’t like ordering with a counselor either and I’m going to hopefully get this how I liked it back when I was on JC about 2000?  Long time.  But I like the foods.  There used to be a busier on line community looks like not much posting.  Well looking to learn.   I’m wondering if I should have tried Nutrisystem it’s got great ratings too and much cheaper.  Will see how first 2 weeks go.  

Hi Shelley.

I'm looking for a 1200 calorie blank menu. Did you find a blank menu yet? 

Thanks.

Misty

I think menus are available on the app.

Blender Ball Cups are available- I’ve had good luck with the brand Contigo. Right now I’m using the Zullay milk frother to blend my shake.

I saw shakes on my menu, but none in my box. (Just started). How many calories are in each shake, and perhaps I can substitute?

The shakes cost extra they should have told you.  I like the vanilla not fan of chocolate. I believe there’s a milk substitute.  I was told I’d receive information on substitutions w my order but I got nothing but the 2 menus.  For the money this costs I’d think it be more upper scale and provide all the pamphlets and brochures instead of being told no you can get on line.  SMH really thinking this will be 2 weeks then to Nutrisystem. If they have bad customer service at least it’s only costing me 1/2 the price. 

Hi @TStan we'd be happy to go over our different menus with you.  Give us a call at 1-866-706-4042 to go over your options.  Have a great day!

Same thing happened to me.  I was very clear I don’t like sweets I have 2 weeks of sweets.  As a lifetime member I had it down where I ordered what I wanted and I didn’t need big variety I did well eating what I’m liked ... I have to eat this 2 weeks but if I don’t have better options I’m choosing another program. I chose JC because I lost a ton of weight and kept it off over 5 years then major life changes and in a few years plus quarantine I’m due to get on a program.  I’ve tried them all,  I just liked JC.  But it’s nothing like it was when I first joined and lost all the weight. Will see.  But I can’t take all the sweets. 

So update; since I started again with Jenny.. it’s been hard bc too many changes. The food is horrible bc I didnt get to choose. I was told the second week I’d get to choose but that was a lie. Wasted my money, before I could make my order they sent me a box of the same horrible food. I needed hot sauce to finish each meal. I lost weight bc I hated the food & did not eat.. which is unhealthy. I wish I was told up front the 1st two weeks they pick the food for you. I want a refund because I literally didnt eat a single meal from the box they sent me & had to do extra grocery shopping. & covid isn’t helping either bc no in person weekly meetups feels like you’re dieting alone. I used to love Jenny 😞

I understand completely.  First thing tomorrow I’m making sure they don’t auto renew me another 2 weeks.  I went on at length with phone rep to place order I wanted no sweets if I could have cheese curls chips I wanted that not the cakes and I got all sugar sweets for breakfast too.  And there are other options.  It’s like I had no conversation the sales rep (that’s what they are they are not consultants) sold me what she wanted.  Cinnamon rolls, Fudge bars I was very specific. I’m very disappointed.   Tomorrow gonna make sure it’s not auto renew I did as I did well on Nutrisystem too.  I did Nutrisystem before JC n got down to 105.   Thin for me.  JC I was happy at 125-130 I’m 5 foot 4.  I liked both plans but I like JC food better.  But I chose my food it was t like this I can’t stand all these sweets.  I did these plans years ago and just remembered I liked picking my food with JC.   The customer service is non existent. I feel completely victim of bait and switch. 

I talked to the consultant yesterday at the Center near me.  She seems to be great.  The last one was so awful I just stopped.  It was too expensive to deal with that lady and horrible customer service.  But, I got 2 weeks food online and all sweets despite my conversation with the sales rep. and that their job to sell.  So now I'm going to choose all my foods using the pre-planned menu as a guide and email what I want to the Consultant and pick it up curbside and this way I can order just one week.  2 weeks took up the whole freezer.  So I'm gonna give it a chance.  I'm not going to use the online.   I also got the liquid vanilla shakes.  But I compared to liquid and the liquid premade has more fat and sugar but it's good to have the options.  I lucked out.  If the consultant had not helped me I was going to do the 2 wks and go to Nutrisystem.  I've done that before and its half the price and was good.  I think JC food is better but they discontinued some of the best stuff.  Taking it one week at a time.
