Jenny Craig Review: Online Diet Program
|One-on-one support designed to establish a healthier overall lifestyle; adding your own fruit, vegetables and dairy is recommended
Jenny Craig differs from the other diet services we review on NextAdvisor.com by emphasizing personalized consultations and face-to-face support. While most other meal delivery diet programs focus primarily on the food itself, perhaps also offering various tools and resources to help you reach your diet goals, Jenny Craig places equal focus on food, body and mind.
How Does It Taste?
A critical element of any diet plan is how the food tastes, including how satiated you feel after the meal. After all, if the food tastes unpleasant and you're always hungry it will be awfully hard to stay on track with your diet. Keeping this in mind, we actually ordered the food and had a panel of ten testers sample the meals. Food was rated on taste, and the numerical ratings were averaged for breakfast, lunch, dinner and overall categories. Jenny Craig was rated the second best tasting meal delivery plan. You can see the complete results at our meal delivery taste test, and also how Jenny Craig stacked up against other meal delivery plans we tasted.
Jenny Craig In-Center
Jenny Craig offers two different approaches to weight loss: Jenny Craig In-Center or Jenny Craig At Home. If you choose Jenny Craig In-Center, you will meet privately with a consultant at one of over 650 local Jenny Craig centers for a discussion of your current lifestyle and weight loss goals, as well as an initial weigh-in. Your consultant will work with you to customize the most effective plan to help you reach your goals. Each week, you will return to your local Jenny Craig center to meet with your consultant, who will help motivate you, help you to overcome your challenges and track your progress. You will also pick up your Jenny Cuisine meals at these meetings. You'll purchase a one week supply of meals at a time, with no ongoing obligation.
Jenny Craig At Home
If you prefer more privacy and convenience, you can choose the Jenny Craig At Home program and speak to your consultant over the phone. With the At Home option, you'll have weekly phone support from your consultant, and your Jenny's Cuisine meals will be shipped to you via FedEx every two or four weeks, depending on your preference. (Note: There is a shipping fee with the At Home program).
In addition to the standard 1200-calorie woman's program, Jenny Craig has special programs for men, type 2 diabetics, teens and older adults. Initially, your diet will consist of three Jenny's Cuisine meals and one snack every day, plus your own groceries, such as fresh fruit, vegetables and dairy. You can customize your weekly menus based on your preferences. Jenny Craig provides some shelf-stable meals but the ones we received were frozen foods.
Jenny Craig also offers a 3-day sample kit, called "Taste of Success." You will be charged a one-time fee of $39.99 for the kit, which comes with 3 breakfast, 3 lunch and 3 dinner meals, plus 3 snacks and 3 salad dressings. If you order the sample kit and then join Jenny Craig afterwards, they will credit the cost of your sample kit towards your next Jenny Craig order.
Jenny Craig is known for their strong personal support, and our experience was no different. We participated in the Jenny at Home program, and our consultant had excellent follow-up. If we missed a weekly consult they reached out via the phone to reschedule. The consultants never rush you through a discussion and are very pleasant to speak with. Whether you participate in an In-Center or At Home plan, your consultant will help you learn to create your own menus and meals, and you will eventually begin to gradually integrate your own homemade food into your diet. Your consultant will also help you learn to make healthy choices at restaurants. Though this support is helpful, if you're the type of person who wants a more hands-off approach from their diet program, the phone calls could get a bit annoying.
In addition to your own consultant, you also have access to Jenny's eTools. eTools is an online format for journaling your thoughts, planning your meals and scheduling fitness activities. We found the fitness component to be a helpful way to record your daily activities, but perhaps not as robust as some other sites we've looked at. The meal planning section goes hand in hand with the meals you are shipped, and was a useful, yet somewhat complicated tool. For this reason, you should take full advantage of your consultant, especially for the first couple of weeks. They can guide you around eTools and let you know how everything works.
By the time you have reached your goal weight, you'll have developed a better relationship with food and learned to plan and prepare your own balanced meals. You can then transition to maintenance support, which will help you sustain your new, healthier lifestyle. You will still have access to online support to help keep you on track.
Jenny Craig consultants will work with you to develop a personalized, staged approach to physical fitness that consists of a combination of natural, everyday activities, playful activities and planned exercise. Your physical fitness plan will intensify as you work toward your weight loss goals, in order to help you burn more calories.
For those who like to track their activities online, Jenny's eTools include a fitness diary with their food tracker. The Activity Planner lets you enter the type and length of your daily exercise, then estimates the total calories you burned based on your weight. It's a nice way to keep track of past, present and future fitness activities.
Plans and Pricing
Because Jenny Craig tailors each meal plan for the individual, there is no specific price list. However, the pricing generally ranges between $81 and $133 per week. At Home participants will need to pay an additional shipping fee of around $14 every two or four weeks, depending on your shipment preferences.
With Jenny Craig, you'll need to provide your own fruit, vegetables and dairy. Based on our purchases, we estimate the cost for these additional foods to be $45-$60 per week. However, as our cost was based on the "city" food prices that exist in San Francisco, your food cost may be significantly less.
Bottom Line
If you are looking for a comprehensive support system to help you establish a healthier lifestyle overall, Jenny Craig may be perfect for you. While Jenny Craig's meals and portion size may not be as "gourmet" as programs like Bistro MD, the combination of good tasting meals and strong support make Jenny Craig a solid choice.

No magic as ex-Sox OF Ross foils Red Sox
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Cody Ross heads to the dugout after scoring a run during the fifth inning of Friday's game against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. (Bob DeChiara-USA TODAY Sports)
Paul Goldschmidt hit a two-run homer for the Diamondbacks, who tagged Boston pitchers for 16 hits.
Randall Delgado (4-3) rode the offensive surge to his fourth straight win and Brad Ziegler picked up his sixth save despite allowing singles to Stephen Drew and Jacoby Ellsbury in the bottom of the ninth. Ziegler made a nice barehanded play on a grounder by Dustin Pedroia and threw to first for the final out.
Ross started in left for Arizona and received mostly cheers in his first at-bat in Boston since he played for the Red Sox last year. He was 3-for-3 with two doubles before his solo homer in the seventh off Pedro Beato (1-1) barely cleared the Green Monster in left field.
Ross had 22 home runs and 81 RBIs in 2012 for Boston and signed with the Diamondbacks as a free agent in December. He said before the game that he felt "jaded" that the Red Sox passed on him before signing free agents Shane Victorino and Mike Napoli.
Delgado started to tire in the sixth. One batter after Jarrod Saltalamacchia came just a yard or two short of a homer to right center, Drew hit one out to almost the same location for a two-run shot that tied it at 6. It was the fourth earned run off Delgado, who had not allowed more than three earned runs in his first eight starts.
Arizona scored six runs off Lester before he left in the top of the fifth after Martin Prado and Ross hit back-to-back RBI doubles as the Diamond backs scored three times for a 6-5 lead.
NOTES: Trade-deadline acquisition Jake Peavy (8-4 with the Chicago White Sox) is scheduled to make his debut for Boston on Saturday against Arizona's Patrick Corbin (12-2) when the three-game series resumes. ... Ellsbury's leadoff triple in the first raised his average in interleague play to .500 (20-for-40). Ellsbury has hit safely in all 10 of Boston's interleague games this season. ... Ortiz was in a 3-for-14 slump before driving the first pitch he saw out of the park. ... The Diamondbacks opened the three-game series with a 4-5 record in interleague games this season.

The Nimzo-Larsen Attack is an ideal opening choice for players keen to avoid mainline theory but still wanting to set their opponents problems from the outset. In the Nimzo-Larsen, White begins 1 b3 and then develops in hypermodern fashion – planning to undermine any central structures Black dares to erect.

In this book, International Master Cyrus Lakdawala invites you to join him in examining the many different variations of the Nimzo-Larsen. Lakdawala studies the typical plans and tactics for both sides, offers repertoire options for White, provides answers to all the key questions and tells you everything you need to know about playing the Nimzo-Larsen Attack.

Lasker's Manual of Chess is one of the greatest chess books ever written. The fact that it was first published over 80 years ago has diminished neither its relevance nor significance in today's modern chess world.

Kasparov vs. Korchnoi - London 1983
The variations of the Sicilian in which Black sets up a pawn centre with ...e6 and ...d6 have been popularized by such fighting players as Kasparov and Andersson. The play can become extremely sharp and many lines have been analyzed to move 20. This comprehensive work provides everything the modern tournament player needs to know about the Scheveningen and only a Grandmaster of the calibre of Kasparov can provide the strategy explanation necessary for an opening of this complexity.
Sicilian ...e6 and ...d6 Systems
The Paulsen System of the Sicilian challenges one of the common perceptions of the Sicilian Defense: That there is no safe way to play the Sicilian. The Paulsen System is generally regarded as one of the most solid, safe ways to play the Sicilian against 1.e4, while also giving plenty of opportunities for counter-attack. This flexible system can allow Black to arrange his pieces in several different ways. Taimanov shows us how to handle each variation that White can throw at you, and gives many fragments of important games.
Sicilian - Paulsen
This is the first publication of a manuscript by del Rio written around 1800 but unpublished until this edition in 1984. The original Italian plus English commentary added by Professor Christopher Becker who has added a long scholarly introduction which traces the early development of chess and explains the place of this work in chess history.
The War Of the Chessmen
Through the fortunate chance of having developed a notation to record actual games, chess has become very much a literary game. This has resulted in a veritable flood of books, with more being written about chess than any other sport. Hence, for the average chess player who would like to improve, the choice among such a vast number of books can be bewildering. The author has undertaken to review those books written by the great writers of the game and to select recommendations.

WASHINGTON - Some people have to be dragged out to dinner, others just go in drag.
A shuttle bus zipped around downtown D.C., Adams Morgan and Dupont Circle Thursday night with a sign on the side that read "Food & Friends Presents: Queen Force One."
Inside, there were up to a dozen drag queens out to support "Dine Out for Life." It is a simple concept. By dining out, people were able to ensure that thousands of children and adults facing HIV/AIDS, cancer and other life-challenging illnesses, receive the daily, nutritious meals so vital to their care.
So the "lovely ladies" after being dolled up and then made up by MAC artists (who donated their time, expertise and make up) traveled around visiting a dozen of the more than 100 restaurants throughout the D.C. metropolitan area that donated 25 percent to 110 percent of their proceeds to Food & Friends.
Queen Bambie was one of the organizers of the concept of "Drag Force One" eight years ago.
"Because I felt it was important to have more of an outreach into the community. Scarlett and I got dolled and we are the veterans on the tour bus this year," Queen Bambie says.
They have been doing it all eight years, and the rest have intermittently joined them over the years.
Another person who dresses in drag once a year for this is Food & Friends Executive Director Craig Shniderman.
"We like to have fun promoting our cause because what we do for our clients is very serious. The mission of Food & Friends is to foster a community caring for men, women and children living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other life-challenging illnesses by preparing and delivering specialized meals and groceries in conjunction with nutrition counseling," Shniderman says.
"In the words of Queen Bambi, 'We are not spreading attitude. We are spreading love. And we are raising a lot of money!'"
"I use my drag powers for good," he says.

Service rating : The service was good, just disappointed in the flowers dieing so quick, when you spend a lot of money on flowers you expect them to last longer than 5 days.Product : Im not happy at all with the flowers, yes there were lovely and my girlfriend loves them, but they have died already, and its been less than a week, also I bought another bunch a week before and they died in less than a week to, iv spend over £160 on flowers in two weeks and both bunches are dead, so not pleased at all.

Service rating : Very good serviceProduct : It was very nice
Service rating : Good design, delivered promptlyProduct : Delivered as specified
Service rating : The service was excellent and couldn't ask for more. Serenta and the delivery company kept me updated with the delivery time and whether I wanted to amend my delivery options. A class service.Product : The flowers were lovely but I was a tiny bit disappointed as they cost over £100 and I was expecting it to take my breath away. My Fiancée, my Mum and also all the Ladies who saw the flowers thought they were AMAZING, so maybe it's just me being a man and expecting more from a bunch of flowers.
SarahBlack Point, Nova Scotia27/05/2013
The web site is a bit erratic and I ended up having to deal with them directly as some typed in info was claimed missing and the order went twice, both incomplete. All got sorted, and flowers wer deliveredpromptlyand were beautiful.

- 3 pounds new potatoes
- 1 yellow onion, quartered
- 1/2 pound bacon, diced
- 1 large red onion, diced
- 3/4 cup cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon mustard seeds
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 8 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
Preheat the grill to high. Place potatoes in a large pot with the onion and cover with cold water. Cook, on the grates of the grill, or on a burner, until tender. Drain, discard the onion, and cut the potatoes into cubes when cool enough to handle. Place the potatoes in a large bowl and cover to keep warm.
Place a large saute pan on the grates of the grill. Add the bacon and cook until crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Add the onions to the rendered bacon fat and cook until soft, about 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully add the vinegar and mustard seeds and cook for 2 more minutes. Whisk in the canola oil and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Add the hot dressing to the potatoes and toss gently to coat. Fold in the green onions and parsley.

The blood and circulation
This page tells you about the blood and circulation. There is information about
The blood circulates throughout the body. It carries nutrients (food) and oxygen to all the cells of the body. And carries away waste products so that they can be removed from the body. Without a blood supply, cells and body tissues die.
The blood moves around the body inside the circulatory system. This is made up of blood vessels (tubes) called arteries, veins and capillaries. The blood keeps moving through these blood vessels because it is pumped by the heart.
Arteries carry blood that is full of oxygen from the heart to all parts of the body. As the arteries get further and further away from the heart, they get smaller and smaller. Eventually they turn into capillaries. These are the smallest blood vessels. They go right into the tissues. Here the blood in the capillaries gives oxygen to the cells and picks up the waste gas, carbon dioxide, from the cells.
The capillaries are connected to the smallest veins in the body. The veins get bigger and bigger as they carry the blood back towards the heart. The blood passes through the right side of the heart and goes to the lungs where it gets rid of carbon dioxide and picks up more oxygen. It then passes through the left side of the heart and is pumped back around the body.
The blood always circulates through the body in the same direction. As well as oxygen and carbon dioxide, many other substances are carried in the blood. The blood circulating through the digestive system picks up digested food products and carries them to the liver to be used or stored.
The circulation can help explain why some cancers nearly always spread to the same place. Cancers of the colon (large bowel) often spread to the liver. This is because blood circulates from the bowel through the liver on its way back to the heart. If there is a cancer in the large bowel, and some cancer cells escape into the circulation, they may stick in the liver as the blood passes through. They can then begin to grow into secondary cancers.
Although blood looks like a red liquid, if left in a test tube it separates out into a pale liquid called plasma and a solid layer of blood cells.
The blood is about 55% plasma and 45% cells. Plasma is mostly water with some proteins and other chemicals dissolved in it. There are three main types of cells in the blood
There are several different types of white cells in the blood in differing amounts. They all play a part in the immune response. This is the response of the body to infection, or anything else the body recognises as 'foreign'. These blood cells can be made very quickly and generally have a short life. Some only live for a few hours, others for a few days.
There isn't an exact 'normal' figure for the number of cells in your blood (called your blood count). 'Normal' for a large man wouldn't be the same as for a small woman. But generally the normal white cell count is between about 4,000 and 11,000 cells per cubic millimetre of blood. If you have surgery or an infection, your white blood cell counts will go up within a day or two.
The most common type of white blood cells are the neutrophils (sometimes called leucocytes). There are between 2,000 and 7,500 of these per cubic millimetre of blood. They are important for fighting infection. If you have chemotherapy, and especially if you have high doses, your neutrophil count usually drops quite quickly.
The next most common are the lymphocytes. A normal lymphocyte count is between 1,500 and 4,500 cells per cubic millimetre of blood. Lymphocytes are involved in making antibodies as part of the immune response. There are both B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes.
Other white blood cells are present in smaller numbers in the circulating blood. There are between
- 40 and 400 eosinophils
- 0 and 100 basophils
- 200 and 800 monocytes
per cubic millimeter of blood. Lymphocytes, eosinophils and basophils are collectively called granulocytes.
As we've said, the range quoted as normal for blood cell counts varies. These figures are taken from the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine.
Red blood cells give the blood its red colour. They contain a pigment called haemoglobin. There are more than 4 or 5 million red blood cells in every cubic millimetre of blood. A red blood cell can live for up to 120 days (about 4 months). Doctors can measure the amount of haemoglobin (Hb) in our blood. They measure the Hb level in grams per decilitre of blood (g/dL) or grams per litre of blood (g/L). Healthy men usually have a level between 13 to 18 g/dL (130 to 180 g/L). Healthy women usually have a level between 11.5 to 16.5 g/dL (115 to 165g/L).
Red blood cells attach to oxygen and carry it within the blood to the tissues. When they get to an area where the oxygen is needed, they give it up and pick up carbon dioxide which they carry back to the lungs. A shortage of red blood cells is called anaemia. The role of the red blood cell in carrying oxygen explains why very anaemic people usually feel breathless.
Platelets are really bits of much bigger cells called megakaryocytes. A normal platelet count is between 150,000 and 440,000 per cubic millimeter of blood.
Platelets are very important in blood clotting. They clump together to form a plug to help stop bleeding. They then release other chemicals to clot the blood and repair the blood vessel.
All the different types of blood cells develop from one type of cell called a 'blood stem cell'. In adults, blood stem cells are normally found in the red bone marrow inside the bones. Blood cells are made in the bone marrow in the skull, ribs, sternum (breast bone), spine and pelvis.
The stem cells divide and multiply to make the blood cells. These cells develop and mature (differentiate) as they grow into white cells, red cells or platelets. The diagram below shows how the various different types of cells can develop from a single blood stem cell.
It is now possible to collect stem cells and freeze them. Then give them back to you after high dose chemotherapy treatment.
You can read about stem cell and bone marrow transplants.
If you are having chemotherapy, the number of white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets in your blood is likely to go down for a time.
Developing blood cells multiply all the time as they mature. Chemotherapy kills cells that are actively multiplying. So blood cells are killed by the chemotherapy drugs. The white cell counts go down first, because many white cells naturally die off within a few days. Normally these are replaced by newly developed white cells. But chemotherapy will have killed some of the developing white cells. It usually takes a week or two before more cells can be made.
Mature red blood cells live for about three months, so there are fewer multiplying at any one time. So you often don't get low in red cells (anaemic) until further into your chemotherapy course. If your red blood cell level gets very low you may have a blood transfusion.
Chemotherapy can also make your platelet level drop. If it does, you may get nose bleeds, or notice a red rash on your skin like tiny bruises. Your doctor may then want you to have a platelet transfusion. After high dose chemotherapy it can take longer for the platelet count to get back to normal than any other blood cell count.
Some biological therapies can also lower your levels of white blood cells or red blood cells.

The Band
In 1958, Arkansas rocker Ronnie Hawkins decided to seek greener pastures in Canada and departed for Toronto, taking his drummer, Levon Helm, with him. Once there, he started recruiting local musicians, ending up with a lineup that included Helm, Robbie Robertson on rhythm guitar, Richard Manuel on piano, Rick Danko on bass, and classically-trained Garth Hudson on keyboards. By 1963 the bandmembers decided they had better chemistry with each other than they did with Hawkins, and parted company with him. In New York, they made a fateful connection with Bob Dylan, for whom they would serve as backup band off and on for several years, and were soon under the management of Dylan's own manager, Albert Grossman, who got them a recording contract. Their debut album, Music From Big Pink, was rootsy, soulful, mysterious, and generally unlike anything that had come before it. Most of the bandmembers wrote songs, all of them were versatile musicians, and their subsequent work continued to reflect unusual depth and creativity. By 1976, burned out on recording and touring, they announced they were breaking up after a final concert at San Francisco's Winterland. This extravaganza, immortalized in Martin Scorsese's "The Last Waltz," featured guest performances by a host of the band's friends and associates, including Dylan, Hawkins, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and others. By the early '80s Helm, Manuel, Hudson and Danko had a change of heart and regrouped for more tours and records, but Robertson was having none of it. Even after Manuel's death in 1986, the other three continued to record and perform periodically, but Danko's death in 1999 made further reunions unlikely.

Photo: Loopnet
This property has been for a sale for a little while, and is rumored to have recently been sold. It might be torn down.
The property is zoned C8-2, so the new owners will have a hard time building residential.
Here are the listings for site: http://www.masseyknakal.com/listingimages/setup/pdf/1550_Bedford_Avenue_-_Setup.pdf
Forty years ago I worked for an auto parts store that delivered to that station. It was called Hilltop Esso at the time.
The only Gas Station I could ever find in Williamsburg.
ehgee said:
That's unfortunate. It's not like there's a massive housing shortage in this city or anything.
This gas station is on the SW corner.
Meanwhile, the gas station/car wash on the NE corner of EP and Bedford is about to be up zoned.
So, in addition to the old theater being razed and built on, it would not surprise me if that gas station/car wash was soon developed.
In response to this post, Brownstoner did a little digging and has confirmed the site pictured above REMAINS for sale.
Apparently the realtors are pitching this site to potential buyers as a potential conversion site, meaning that a (in my opinion "Brave") investor could buy it with the hopes that zoning could be changed to allow residential at some point in the future.
Heard on 880AM this morning that some developer bought a parking garage on 1st ave in midtown Manhattan for 60 (sixty) million just so it could be knocked down and a residential tower could be put up. Seems like housing is the way to go no matter what borough you're in. And to absorb that kind of outlay no doubt the cheap apartments will be going for more than one million.
As of mid August, this site seems to have not yet been sold:
No longer for sale.... Don't know who/what etc.
This place, as well as the gas station on the corner of Bedford and Empire, is boarded up and permits to remove the tanks and canopy's are pending. Both are owned by Conoco Phillips. I don't think the lot was actually sold.
As a result of your post, I walked by there last night.
Yes, it definitely seems they are making this lot into "something else". Given it's zoning and excellent location, it would not surprise me if we ended up with a health care facility.
...with maybe a bank and a drug store on the first floor.
Permits were approved to start removing the gas tanks at Empire and Bedford. It's safe to assume that this will no longer be a gas station.
I hope it won't become more mini storage.
Because both sites had/have the same owners, I do wonder if we will have a new use that is the same for each.
http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20140122/crown-heights/middle-eastern-eatery-closes-gulf-gas-station-razed-crown-heightsBroker Michael Amirkhanian said the lot is under contract for sale, but he could not disclose details about the buyer or the space's future use. City property records did not show the sale as of Wednesday."It's under contract," Amirkhanian said. "There's nothing we can report at this time."
whynot_31 said:
From a reliable source, I have also heard that this site will become a Marriot.Five or six stories. Marriots are independently owned, and this location was purchased by a buyer who owns a few other locations, and intends to build one here.

When was the last time you carried a backpack? For me it was eighth grade in NYC. It was a yellow, Duffy backpack that I purchased in France. The fabric and cut were special, and when I returned to the States, my friends told me that only I would classify that bag as a backpack. However, it had two straps and it fit on my back, so to me it was a backpack. Sadly, my friends were right though. It wasn't exactly a backpack, and my books didn't exactly fit in it. So I soon retired it and returned to the tote. Plus, backpacks were kinda on the way out in terms of style then, even in schools, and they never really returned —until now.
Leather Backpack, ASOS, here; Leather Backpack, The Row, here
Enter The Row's iconic little leather knapsack. Not since Prada's nylon backpack has carrying something on your back looked so cool. For $3,900 what used to be a school necessity is now a major fashion statement, and you can even see the Olsen twins toting this bag around themselves. I understand however, that most of us, myself included, do not have an extra 4k lying around. So… for this week's Iconic Price & Iconic Style we have an old necessity and trend revisited: the backpack. Not just any backpack though, a sleek leather one. Even the high-street version is pretty sexy. Don't ya think?

Former New York City Mayor Ed Koch has died. The 88-year-old passed away in a Manhattan hospital at 2 a.m. His spokesperson says he died of congestive heart failure. Our Grace Rauh takes a look back at his life.
Ed Koch, the scrappy former mayor who led New York City through some of its darkest days in the late 1970s and 1980s, has died.
The former three-term mayor passed away at 2 a.m. Friday from congestive heart failure at the age of 88, a spokesman said.
His funeral will be Monday at Temple Emanu-El in Manhattan.
Koch, who had been in and out of the hospital in recent weeks, was admitted to New York Presbyterian Hospital on Monday with fluid in his lungs. He was moved into the hospital's intensive care unit on Thursday afternoon after suffering from shortness of breath.
A similar problem landed him in the hospital for a week last month.
As of late Thursday Koch was conscious and not on a respirator.
Koch had long been open about his health problems. While in his third term as mayor, he suffered a stroke. After leaving office in 1989, he had a number of medical issues, including a heart attack in 2000 and major heart surgery in 2009.
The city's 105th mayor maintained a positive outlook until the end. After leaving the hospital last Saturday, he sounded eager to return to work.
"Delighted to go home," he said. "There is nothing like home. I mean, this is a second home, but there's nothing like home. I expect that I'll be in the office in the beginning of the week."
Plans call for Koch to be buried in Manhattan's non-denominational Trinity Cemetery.

Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks unveiled her 2013 budget proposal Tuesday night before the full county legislature. Brooks' budget calls for no change in the property tax rate, keeping it flat at $8.99-per thousand dollars of assessed value.
If it passes the legislature, it is the first billion-dollar budget proposal in Monroe County's history; a little more than one billion dollars in spending to be exact. That's a milestone. This proposal, if approved, would knock a full 10 percent or $11 million off the county deficit. That would be the first time since Maggie Brooks has been in office that a deficit reduction would occur.
Another milestone is a shift in the way Monroe County would pay for Medicaid. Since 2008, the county has used what's called a "Medicaid Swap," paying for Medicaid through sales taxes. Several lawmakers, including Brooks, have wanted to end that practice.
There's a partial cost takeover coming from the state, so Brooks says now is the time to go back to paying Medicaid costs the conventional way by using property tax money.
In the end, county spending goes up just six-tenths of a percent under Brooks' plan. She says it's another responsible sensible budget.
Legislature Democrats, meanwhile, are reserving their judgment.
"We've been able to reduce that structural deficit, so I really believe that speaks volumes about our ability to create efficiencies within county government, to streamline our services, and to actually reduce the impact of running county government on people in the community," said Brooks, (R).
"Well, she gave a five-minute speech about a billion-dollar budget. Obviously the devil's in the details, and we'll spend the next few weeks poring through the budget to find out what's actually in there," said Carrie Andrews, (D), Assistant Legislature Minority Leader.
Twenty county jobs would be cut; 18 of those are currently vacant positions. There are two layoffs included in the plan. There are also some across-the-board cuts to county agencies.
Brooks says the only fee increase in her budget is a one dollar hike in the ticket price at Seneca Park Zoo.
