Jenny Craig
Does anyone know how much the Jenny Craig program costs all together? I go to her website and it says "Get 6 weeks of food for $36*.
(*-Plus the cost of food.)"
Does anyone know how much this actually costs?!?! anyone?

Six weeks of Jenny Craig can run you about $600 for everything.
Meals are $65 a week, supplements are $4.50 a week, and you have to buy additional fruits and vegetables. It sounds as if they're offering a discount on membership, but you're almost certainly still looking at over $75 per week.
And remember, watch or read their ads carefully and you'll see the words "results not typical". Lots of people lose very little weight or no weight at all on programs like Jenny Craig. A few people lose a LOT of weight - they're the people that they put into the advertisements. But those people have great metabolisms, and would probably have lost weight using ANY program, or just a home program of sensible eating and exercise.
And that's your best choice in any case, unless you're really overweight (I'm talking 60 lbs. or more, for most people). By making sure to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, drinking LOTS of water, cutting down on sugar and fats, and getting some exercise every day, you'll get better result than you're likely to get from Jenny Craig. And it will cost you a LOT less money, and you'll develop healthy habits that will stay with you for life.
You have to enjoy your new habits - that's the key. If you can find a way to have fun eating more fruits and vegetables, and exercising, you're more likely to stick with it. Remember, none of this should be torture! Walking is a fine exercise, and so is swimming. Mild weight-training will tone up your muscles and give you a better shape. Cardiovascular exercise (walking, running, jogging, swimming, biking, or aerobics) will rev up your metabolism, helping your body to burn fat more quickly even when you're sleeping! And you'll find that you have a lot more energy and can sleep better, too.
If you're severely overweight, speak to your doctor. S/he may recommend a medically-supervise liquid diet program, or even some form of stomach surgery. But unless you're grotesquely obese, that's really unlikely.
And please remember that stomach surgery is serious. Some people die from it every year, and if you've never had surgery, take my word for it: it's NOTHING like what they show on TV. On TV people go into surgery and within half an hour on the show they're awake and feeling fine. What they don't show you on TV is that even after minor surgery, you HURT. You KNOW your body has been cut open, and it hurts for quite a while. Medication can make that tolerable, but no one in their right mind would get surgery if they could get the same results by a healthy program of eating and exercise.
Good luck!
