Q: How do I switch from a center to mail order because there is not a center near where I am moving?

A: Jenny Direct, Jenny Craig's at home weight loss program, offers the same food, tools, and personal support that are available at Jenny Craig's local centers. Your Jenny Cuisine and program materials will be delivered by mail, and you'll speak with your consultant over the phone. Current Jenny Craig memberships are transferable back and forth, from a Jenny Craig center to Jenny Direct and vice versa. To transfer your membership to Jenny Direct, just speak with your personal consultant or request an instant call back from a Jenny Craig customer service representative.

Q: I'm a lifetime [Weight Watchers] member but I have not attended for a long time. I would like to join again. How does the lifetime membership work, are you charged for not attending a meeting or are you charged only for the meetings that you attend?

A: Weight Watchers meetings members who reach their goal weight and maintain that goal weight within two pounds for six consecutive weeks are awarded lifetime memberships. Lifetime members may attend Weight Watchers meetings at no charge, as long as they remain no more than two pounds above their goal weight.

Once you have reached lifetime member status, you will always be a lifetime member and will never have to pay another registration fee. You must weigh in at your first meeting of every month, and if you weigh more than two pounds more than your goal weight, you'll be charged the weekly fee. You will not be expected to pay for missed meeting unless you have not weighed in within a one month period. You are always eligible for lifetime benefits, and depending on your location, you may be eligible for discounted fees.

If you have misplaced your lifetime member number, you can call Weight Watchers at 800-651-6000, or by filling out a request form at WeightWatchers.com.

Q: I want to try Nutrisystem, but I'm a picky eater and I'm afraid I might not like the food. Can I try it for free, or get my money back if I don't like it?

A: Nutrisystem does allow returns and offers a money back guarantee on non-frozen foods. After you recieve your first order, you'll have seven days to decide whether or not you like the food. You can call Nutrisystem at any time within those seven days and return the remaining food for a full refund, minus the cost of shipping.

If you do decide to continue with Nutrisystem, you'll also have the option to return or exchange any  non-frozen food items that you don't care for, as long as the package is unopened and you return it within 30 days. Nutrisystem does not allow returns on frozen foods.

Q: Do you have a weekend off program? What types of meals do you have? I am interested in a 4-week program. Two of us would join if the price is right.

A: Jenny Craig does not explicitly offer a weekends off option. However, should you decide to sign up for the Jenny Craig program, your program director will work with you to create a fully customized plan based on your goals, needs, and lifestyle. The Jenny Craig program is flexible enough to allow you to prepare your own meals and eat at restaurants, so if you prefer not to eat prepackaged Jenny's Cuisine meals on the weekends, that could be incorporated in your customized plan. Jenny Craig does not automatically reship food, so if you do not actually use your entire four week supply within four week, it shouldn't cause any problems.

Jenny Craig offers more than 80 meals and snacks, which are chosen specifically to meet your weight loss goals, with calorie levels ranging from 1,200 to 2,300 calories per day. Jenny's Cuisine is low in fat and cholesterol, and high in fiber. Meals are packaged into single portions, to help you learn to properly regulate portion sizes. With the Jenny Craig program, you'll be eating three Jenny's Cusine meals and one Jenny's Cuisine snack every day, as well as fresh fruit, vegetables, and other grocery store additions. Meal and snack options include cookies, cake, meatloaf, macaroni and cheese, and even cheesecake. You'll have the freedom to create your own menu or rely on preplanned menus.

Q: Why wasn't Jenny Craig a part of the comparison against the other online diets?

A: Jenny Craig is a very well known brand in the weight loss world. Because the primary service offered by Jenny Craig takes place off-line in local service centers, we felt that it didn't fit very well into our comparison of online diet services. That being said, Jenny Craig does offer a service called Jenny Direct which includes meal delivery. You can learn more about Jenny Direct by visiting the Jenny Craig website.

We are constantly evaluating and expanding our comparisons and reviews, so we may add a Jenny Craig review to our comparison in the future. In the meantime, you can view the comparison on online diet services that we have reviewed on NextAdvisor.com.
