Weight Watchers Vs. Jenny Craig: It's A Lawsuit!
Filed under: Valerie Bertinelli
Weight Watchers is suing Jenny Craig alleging that they used false scientific research in a commercial with spokeswoman Valerie Bertinelli.
In the ad, Valerie touted that a "major clinical trial" found that "Jenny Craig clients lost, on average, over twice as much as weight as those on the largest weight-loss program!"
Weight Watchers is saying that the statement was obviously and falsely referring to them and that no clinical trial was ever conducted by Jenny Craig. Weight Watchers now wants Jenny Craig to scrap the campaign and issue news ads that the company lied.
We'll have to "weight" and "watch" what happens!
But really whatever Valerie Bertinelli was doing, she looks great — clinical trial or not!

Is that the before or after picture?????
jenny craig works fool! it's amazing.
That's funny, because I thought that they were talking about Nutrisystem….. seems like a bogus lawsuit!
How old is this pic? It looks like she has put on some weight.
Seems like Weight Watchers is trying to bring bad publicity to Jenny Craig. I think in the end it will only make themselves look bad. Nobody listens to the "clinical trial" type statements anyway…it's all subjective. Sorry WW but your credibility has been knocked down a notch with crap like this.
Hey ! You pay me a million bucks, I'd stop eating ! Ain't that ahrd !
I mean 'HARD' !
im a weight watchers member and jenny craig is shit!
you eat prepackaged food portioned by them and everything. weight watchers teaches you healthy eating habits and how to prepare you own food!
just wait until you stop eating the jenny craig prepackaged food. you'll gain the weight back because you dont ever learn how to eat and prepare food!
Poor Valerie….she looks amazing at almost 50 yrs old. She did not do the clinical research so she should not be targeted….if the allegations are false, then shame on the company for erroneously reporting it to her as their spokesperson.
I did jenny craig and weight watchers and lost 3 times as much weight on jenny craig. So there.
i would totally nail the hell out of Valerie Bertinelli, MILF
Re: jjgreen – That is so true. You have change your eating habits and it's not going to happen when you are eating false food.
As a WW customer for 3 yrs all I can say is that WW teach you how to eat healthy food and control/measure your portion, I have lost almost 50 pound with WW.
Jenny Craig prepackage food is full of krapp.
good job
i went to jenny craig now i had heart surgery about 35 years ago but its not a big deal they sat there an told me i needed a docs cert to eat their fking food so i said no thanks i havent been to a doctor in 5 years (garlic people kills bugs) sooooo i stormed out of there and went on weight watchers frozen food from supermarket no charge for some wanky JC counsellor
and lost 10kg
SUC ON THAT JENNY
Team Weight Watchers!!! I lost 28 pounds on WW and have kept it off for 3 years. The program really teaches you about nutrition and how to make healthy eating choices, especially at restaurants.
Really Perez? Puns?
I think that is a recent or an "after" picture of Valerie B. Either her ads have been photo shopped in a big way, or she has been gaining back her weight. Plus, her face is starting to show her age. No matter, she has a boyfriend that is nothing to look at (they've been together since 2004), just like her unattractive, famous ex-husband, Van Halen (ugh…the man she divorced in 2007—I know…the dates don't match, but that's her life, not mine).
Not sure WW will win this lawsuit, they are going to have to prove they are the "weight loss program" Jenny Craig is talking about..
Anyway, Jenny Craig is crap, sure you lose weight while you eat their expensive food, but what happens when you leave the program? You go back to your old ways because you never learned how to eat right..you ate prepackaged junk.
I have used WW and I have nothing but good things to say about it, it WORKS and you don't have to buy food. WW rules! Perez should try it next time he goes on a diet.
OMG!!! Looks like she gained the weight back.
"Weight" and "watch"? That's the best you could do? Not witty at all.
Hey fatties! Here's the secret to losing weight.
Stop eating so damn much food!!
ive done both and my best effert turned out to be my own….jenny makes u buy their nasty food even if u dont like it yeah u lose weight cause u cant eat anything else just their food the minute u stop their meals and meal plans u gain it all back…weight watchers is good they teach u portion control…but why pay to weigh yourself in each week and count calories…i lost the most weight by documenting everything i put in my mouth mostly noting calorie, fat and fiber intake in a day if u keep it under 2,000 calories and 30 to 40 grams of fat no matter how much weight u have to lose u will lose…i lost 60 pound in 4 months by doing that and i was not even working out everyday i did like 3 days…
does anyone really believe what any of those commercials say?
She does not look so very good in this photo, not a very flattering top she is wearing.
Jenny Craig teaches you how to eat healthy you dumbass people. You know nothing about it! I've been on it for a month! They put you on their food 24/7 and as you lose weight they take you off of it for a couple days a week and ween you off over time. They teach you how to eat healthy while you eat out and while you cook and with their food it's an immediate change in just the first week. Fuck haters! I've lost 10 pounds already!
