Weight Loss - Weight Watchers vs. Jenny CraigHere are some of the differences and similarities between both these weight loss programs and depending on your lifestyle and budget, you can choose which one would better suit you. Weight Watchers This weight loss program is centered on weekly meetings where people who want to lose weight gather and discuss challenges, celebrate triumphs and get tips and tricks from trained weight loss leaders. They get the benefits of 'We're all in this together' because they see other people who have more or less weight to lose than them and feel the moral support uplifting and motivating. This program is based on the Points system (although in 2006 the rolled out a no-counting plan too). Every food is assigned a Points value and detailed lists and points calculators are provided to you when you register. Based on your height, weight and age, you are assigned a number of points that you have to use up in a day - and you are held accountable for it. 'Bite it and write it' is one of their mottos where they encourage you to write down everything you eat so you know where you stand as far as the points are concerned.
Jenny Craig This weight loss program is more about the one-on-one approach with a trained counselor talking and discussing your issues with your personally. Some people prefer to do it this way because they are embarrassed about their weight issues or don't want to sit around listening to stories from a room full of strangers. The Jenny Craig weight loss program can only be successful if you buy their food and only eat that for the whole time you are on the program. An occasional restaurant or fast food meal may be allowed; but for the largest part, you need to buy and eat their food. They have a lot of choices and you can pick three meals and two snacks a day. However, it gives you less flexibility but also fewer options to get off track. Although promotions run all the time, weekly dues for Weight Watchers are around $10 and those for Jenny are $6 plus all the food that could be around $80 a week. Depending on whether you are a people person who wants to join Weight Watchers with a gal pal or someone more private who would rather focus on personal challenges, choose the program that appeals to you and get started. |
