When I first started Jenny Craig and Jazzercise, my goal was to lose 10 pounds by the end of my sponsored month.
Today was my final weigh-in of that month and – drumroll, please – I lost three pounds, putting me at a grand total of 10.6 pounds.
Even better, I’ll be continuing the program, thanks to Nicole, Dawn and Kristen at Jazzercise and Ashley, Kathy, Penny, Marne and Mary at Jenny Craig.
I’ll be introducing you to some of these amazing women over the next month – over which I’m hoping to lose another 10 pounds. I’ll also be sharing more details about both programs, in case you’re considering joining yourself (which, if you really want to change your body, you should).
Meanwhile, I’m feeling as joyful as my instructor, Kristen, below. And maybe, by next month, I’ll even learn how to follow her arms and legs at the same time.
*I received a free month on the program in order to do this review. There was no compensation. The opinions expressed are my own and are not influenced in any way. Note: Clients following the Jenny Craig program, on average, lose 1-2 lbs per week.

Elly Wynia says
FANTASTICO! I know it is not easy. I started a 5 week cleanse: no sugar, no dairy, no wheat, no caffeine. The caffeine has me screaming with a headache that did not subside until today….thank god! I thought I barely touched caffeine….just a cup in the afternoon generally speaking. I must have been making a strong cup and forgetting about the little bits of caffeine I was inhaling elsewhere. I will let you know how the cleanse goes….I have done bits and pieces in my life but never done it full throttle. THank goodness for Ezekiel bread and soy yogurt products. xxo
Lois Alter Mark says
Ellymay, I could never do that cleanse. I give you a lot of credit! xo
Summer Davis says
*HUGE HIGH FIVES* for exceeding goals! That really rocks! Keep up the good work! I can tell you from experience, 3 days out of the gym = a month out of the gym. Does that make sense? Keep it up!
Lois Alter Mark says
Thanks so much, and totally know what you’re saying!
Tonia Sanders (@TheChattyMomma) says
I love Jazzercize. Look at how much fun the instructor looks like she’s having!
Lois Alter Mark says
Isn’t it great?! She makes the class so much fun!
Kerri says
Congrats on your Jenny Success! I am on Jenny too and I love it! My favorite is the Key Lime Pie!

Shop with Me Mama says

Matthew's Mom says
I would love to try Jenny Craig. It sounds like something that may work for me.
Lois Alter Mark says
You should definitely look into it. It’s been awesome!
Debi@ The Spring Mount 6 Pack says
Jenny Craig would be interesting to try, and that cheesecake looks fantastic.
Lois Alter Mark says
It is DELISH!
Suzanne Deal-Fitzgerald says
Exercising seems to be the hardest thing to start. I had to have a safe place to do it. Lots of my friends can’t seem to find the time, which seems kind of sad, when they spend so much time being sad, feeling bad, and watching tv. You know I’ve found my bliss in the water, and even though I still hit McD’s regularly, I’ve still managed to lose nearly 40 ponds over the last 8 months. We’ve got to Move It Move It.
Lois Alter Mark says
I totally agree. The exercise is so important and Jazzercise is the only program I’ve found that I truly enjoy. I play tennis a few times a week but that doesn’t give me nearly the same workout. That’s awesome that you lost all that weight, Suzanne! Congrats!
Edee Lemonier says
S’mores bars. That is all. Except to say that I’d hijack a delivery truck for those things if I thought I could get away with it. I’d probably be found dead in my pantry in a pile of S’mores bar wrappers and a smile on my chocolate smeared face. Just know I was happy.
Lois Alter Mark says
I knew we were soul sisters, Edee! xo
