I read once that Jenny Craig doesn't accept T1s (http://www.tudiabetes.org/forum/topics/turned-down-by-jenny-craig) ...kind of interesting!

I did Nutrisystem for a while but didn't lose any weight. For me, some of their snacks were too tasty (I'm a chocolate addict), and I had a hard time not eating too much.

I've tried a couple other eating plans out of "convenience", but have finally sucked it up and realized I just need to watch my portion sizes, stick to the outside of the grocery store, and avoid restaurants as much as possible! Counting calories really helps (I use MyFitnessPal -- iPhone app and website)... I was skeptical at first, but it is a real eye-opener to catch all the little things you might sneak in here and there.

thanks! ive considered doing some more meal planning on my own, but ive never been one to pack lunch for work and so on and this seemed like it might be a reasonable option. I'll look up the app though! thanks again!
