Weight Loss: The Jenny Craig Way

Everyone knows who Jenny Craig is. She started her program back in 1983 and it has soared to dynamic proportions. Her weight loss program has featured success stories from well-known people, such as Phylicia Rashad, Valerie Bertinelli, Kirstie Alley, and Queen Latifah. Jenny followers credit her success with her focus not on dieting, but rather her philosophy as a lifestyle change. Jenny Craig’s weight loss plan consists of three very logical elements that everyone should apply for healthier living. Her first focus is on making good food choices with a concentration on portion controlled eating and nutrition a priority. Jenny’s … Continue reading →

Jenny Craig Changing Directions in 2008

Posted on by

By now you’ve probably seen the new Jenny Craig ad campaign starring Queen Latifah. In fact, you may have even seen one of those commercials back to back with a Pizza Hut commercial featuring her voice. Scary, huh? Which voice do you listen to? But I digress. Jenny Craig offered Kirstie a contract for 2008 but she declined. The word is that although Kirstie considers Jenny Craig the best weight loss program there is, she doesn’t see herself as a part of the new direction that the company is directing its ads. The new approach is less about dropping the … Continue reading →

Queen Latifah to Join Jenny Craig

Posted on by

I love Queen Latifah. She’s a bold, proud, strong woman who makes no excuses for her plus sized body and has always been secure in her voluptuousness. Regardless of her size, you could always count on seeing this diva in drop dead gorgeous dresses that fit perfectly when she strolled down a red carpet. There were never any mu-mus for this lady. She’s got curves and she’s not afraid to show them off. Personally, I can’t think of a better role model for young girls today, regardless of their color or lack thereof. Latifah’s mama taught her what we should … Continue reading →

This episode is called “The Real Holiday Party For Weight-Loss Firms? It’s Now”. This episode points out that weight loss firms such as Weight Watchers, Nutrisystem, Jenny Craig, and more make a huge profit in … Continue reading →

Confessions of a Foodie Mom: What Does Work?

I’ve whined about my plateau in several of the last blogs. I’ve talked about my problems. (I hope they’ve been some use to somebody, if only to let you know I commiserate with you.) Now I need to consider the recent past as well as previous weight losses and ask myself: What does work? When I was a teenager, I would designate every other week as a “diet” week. No matter what, I wouldn’t eat sweets that week. (My mom, who wanted me to lose weight, still thought I was silly to pass up strawberry pie, given that it was … Continue reading →

Health Benefits for Weight Loss and Fitness

I have recently gotten a new health plan. This prompted further investigation on my part as to any entitlement in additional health discounts on my new plan. I was happy to find that there were several discounts available for my use just by showing the company my new health plan identification card. Probably the best benefit that I found was for Bally’s. However, there were benefits for Jenny Craig, Jazzercise, Weight Watcher’s and more. I do not know if I will make any use of them, but it is nice to know that they are there just in case I … Continue reading →

Losing It: And Gaining My Life Back One Pound at a Time

Valerie Bertinelli has been seen lately on magazine covers and on a variety of talk shows thanks to her recent weight loss success. Valerie, now a Jenny Craig spokeswoman, has lost 30 pounds and looks wonderful. I caught a glimpse of her one day last week on a talk show and she is just glowing as if to say, “I cannot believe that I did it!” What I find remarkable and an oddity is that Valerie does not seem as affected as some that have reached stardom do. It is a good thing to see that she is a “real” … Continue reading →

Kudos to Valerie!

Recently Valerie Bertinelli was shown on a magazine cover sporting a bikini and she looks fantastic! Two years ago Valerie weighed 172 pounds. She is 5’4” and was 40 pounds heavier than what she felt was ideal for her. Valerie owes this weight loss to hard work through exercising and dieting. She used the Jenny Craig method and lost the weight. She got down to her goal of 132 pounds. To get fit she walked 10,000 steps every day. She then hired a personal trainer to help her get in shape for a bikini, which she had not worn in … Continue reading →
