I signed up for ediets.

I can't get a band until I can figure out how to pay for it myself, so I thought I should join Jenny Craig or something. After finding out the cost of JennY Craig, I was very dissapointed I can not afford it.

I went online and looked around and found that ediets has a 'alternative to jenny craig diet'. I signed up for $15 a month.

The diet planner creates a meal plan based on everything I can find in the grocery store, and it includes lots of frozen and canned foods that can be heated in the microwave. It gives me an entire shopping list of things I need for that week. I am so excited. It really doesn't seem to be all that expensive. I can probably get away with spending $50 a week on the diet groceries if I plan ahead.

The ediets website also offers weekly check in to keep track of the weight loss etc. I am excited!

I like eDiets set-up, as well. I was a member for a couple months a few years back (before I stopped my dieting madness), but was just too overwhelmed with shopping lists etc. to get a lot out of the program.

Congrats and good luck!

I did eDiets for almost a year, and did really well. I stopped when I had my hysterectomy, and long story, but gained all the weight back and then some in the 3 years between following eDiets, and getting the band. I loved the organization of it, and didn't mind the shopping lists, because once you got used to it all, it was really a help and not confusing. Good luck! Cindy

Before being banded, I did ediets as well. I loved their program and organization. I think it is really the most efficient way to plan your meals. I might even do it alongside with my band.
