I haven't tried Nutrisystem so I can't help there, but I did buy the membership to Jenny Craig.
Jenny Craig is good, it does work if you follow the menu and exercise. However, it's expensive and that's why I quit the program. I was spending between $70 and $90 each week on food for just myself. Then I also had to buy things like produce, dairy, etc. The price of the food goes down as the weeks progress. For example, the first 5 weeks (don't quote me on that, I beleive it's five) you pay full price. Then for the next several weeks you get 10% off, then 20%, then 30%.
I got really bored with the food too. They have quite a few selections, but we all know that not everyone likes everything, therefore your choices become limited.
Now part of their plan is that after you get halfway to your goal, they teach you how to manage your own foods so you don't have to buy as much of theirs. I didn't get that far, I felt it was too expensive. They offer the discounts as incentives but it just wasn't worth it to me.
I am still a member and can still go in and buy food if I want to. And I have thought about doing that for my lunches and breakfasts, still contemplating!
