Comment: Latifah did not become the business woman she is today by being foolish. It's a win win for her. In addition to getting paid to lose weight, She get's to "do" the Jenny Craig program free from the pressure sales to buy the food and supplements. Jenny Craig will get loads of black women to sign up because Latifah looks good, she is sliming down in proportion to her frame. Too bad all the sistas who sign up won't get the same treatment Latifah gets, they will get pressured into buying a whole heap of food and supplements they don't need. All anyone needs to do to lose weight is make better food choices; identify, eliminate or monitor the stress in your life and the weight will come off!

Comment: Teigh by the time women get to the point of needing a program, they've forgotten how to eat. I joined last year because of Latifah and after spending $145 for the first round of food and $156 for the second I quickly learned how to pick and choose and what to leave there. It was good for 3 months and 20 pounds and the rest is on me. Funny thing is - I paid someone else to show me what I learned as a child and forgot as an adult! Imagine that!

Comment: What up McNasty! And I would think there are probably more than a few hundred dollars of hidden costs in there to join, and keep in mind most women are not as "forthright" (wink wink) to tell the person doing the hard sales pitch NO!!! DCGG> I saw Latifah over the summer, when she did Urbanworld promoting Secret Life of Bees in New York. We'll see if she kept the weight off when she does Peoples Choice on TV

Comment: i'm not knocking Jenny Craig or Nutrasystem, but i've been on the Slimfast system for 2years and i lost 85lbs. simply because i chose to do that. but at least with Jenny Craig you have choices of what to eat. which is good. one of the reasons i do slimfast is that i don't like to eat breakfast in the morning and lunch is too dayum heavy for me so i have slimfast and water for breakfast an apple or a low fat food for break, lunch, slimfast and water, another lowfat snack and then go home and have a sensible dinner and have LOTS AND LOTS OF SEX!! LOL! BOOT!! (just teasing but heyell that's good way to burn some calories so i'm definitely not knocking it! lol!) but i do exercise every morning. i have to, if i want to move from point A to point B. but whatever you do, loose weight for yourself. you will feel so much better, beleive me. i have authritus in the knee and all that heavy in the knees is not good at all. and if you are experiencing this, do some exercise and change your eating habits. you got to do it for you. it's hard of course, (especially here at work. it's a battleground here for me! department lunch and learns, department gatherings, birthdays, and vendors comming in with cookies and cakes and whatnot! it can be heyell!)

Comment: I did it as cheaply as humanly possible cause I already had issues with thinking I needed help. If y'all check the promos - they are shooting her from bust up but it gives a peek at the fact that she has gained some of it back. Congrats Chassie - keep doing the damn thing. The jc plan has you eating basically the same way - grazing and exercise is a must.

Comment: I saw Latifah on Jay Leno the other night and she is indeed a very beautiful girl. However, if she really did lose 20 pounds, when she turned her back to the audience to do that dance, I think I found them. I am very curious, McNasty, because I was on Nutrisystem and gained and lost the same 10 pounds for a year and a half. I finally gave up and ended up gaining 20 pounds! I will try anything but I am hesitant because I ususally end up gaining after I lose it. Do they nag you at Jenny Craig? Would you recommend them? I exercise everyday like bigchassie too, but I do it slowly because I have a bad knee, so it probably isn't helping as much as it should. An the LOTS OF SEX doesn't do a thing for my abs (not that I am going to stop. LOL) Jenny Craig does look tempting. Please help.
