COMPANY LAUNCHES SUCCESS:  MOST COMPREHENSIVE WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM IN THE 40 YEAR HISTORY OF NUTRISYSTEM

FORT WASHINGTON, PA (December 23, 2011) - Nutrisystem, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRI), the leading home delivery weight loss program, announces today the unveiling of football legend and sports commentator, Terry Bradshaw, as the Company’s new marquee spokesperson for the launch of the new Men’s SUCCESS program – the Company’s most comprehensive weight loss program to date and its most substantial reformulation in years. To date, Bradshaw has lost 32 pounds on the Nutrisystem® SUCCESS™ program and plans to continue shedding weight. His goals are to lose a total of 40 pounds and to help inspire millions to get healthy by losing weight with Nutrisystem in the New Year. Nutrisystem will feature Bradshaw individually, as well as with long time spokesman, Dan Marino, in a testimonial-style ad campaign as part of its 2012 diet season efforts aimed at the men’s market, where the Company currently leads the category.  

Terry Bradshaw Succeeds with Nutrisystem

Bradshaw, who played 14 seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, was the first quarterback to win four Super Bowls, and led the Steelers to eight AFC Central championships. Inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1989, Bradshaw was known for calling his own plays throughout his football career. Off the field, Bradshaw's expertise and infectious personality have landed the football great a successful career as a broadcast commentator, an actor in both movies and television, a New York Times best-selling author, as well as a sought after motivational speaker.  Bradshaw is currently the co-host of FOX NFL Sunday.  
“During my time as a professional football player and even after retirement, I stayed in great shape, but it wasn’t until all the injuries caught up with me and I couldn’t work out that the pounds started packing on,” says Bradshaw. “I found myself overweight and looking for the perfect plan to help me shed these packed pounds and get my health back, when I was inspired by Dan Marino’s and Coach Don Shula’s weight loss success on Nutrisystem and gave the program a try. Bottom line, Nutrisystem for Men is the go-to guy’s diet. It’s simple, has great tasting meals and didn’t leave me feeling hungry all the time. It works and that’s good enough for me in this game called real-life where the stakes are high and the prize is feeling lighter, and looking and feeling better.”

“Terry Bradshaw is known as a tough competitor – someone who doesn’t let obstacles stand in his way,” says Joe Redling, Chairman and CEO of Nutrisystem. “With Nutrisystem he had a playbook to lose weight and get healthy without counting, tracking, weighing in or going to meetings. The results speak for themselves. Terry joins another football legend, Dan Marino, in talking directly and honestly with men about how to take weight off. We’re delighted to welcome Terry to the Nutrisystem family and know that he’ll be a leader in helping to motivate men around the country to take the first step towards a healthier lifestyle. “

SUCCESS™: The Most Comprehensive Nutrisystem® Program Ever

On December 15^th, Nutrisystem announced the launch of SUCCESS, the Company’s most comprehensive weight loss program to date and its most substantial reformulation in years. Longtime Nutrisystem spokespeople Dan Marino and Marie Osmond join superstar Janet Jackson and football great Terry Bradshaw as the Company’s all-star Brand Ambassador line-up for the launch of Nutrisystem SUCCESS.

The Nutrisystem SUCCESS approach is designed to help take the weight off and keep it off through frequent, portion-controlled, balanced nutrition and low Glycemic Index eating.  The SUCCESS program offers the Company’s largest ever assortment of signature artisanal fresh-frozen meals including new Chef’s Table^TM dinner entrees, developed by Nutrisystem’s Celebrity Chef Culinary Council using revolutionary advanced steamer technology; new chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and coffee advanced protein shakes to help improve satiety and nutrition; the introduction of a personalized “My Daily 3^TM” physical activity program; and increased personalization and flexibility through transition and maintenance plans that help consumers manage their weight on their own. 

The SUCCESS program is built on the following four fundamental pillars:

·         Great Taste = Great Results – Fresh-frozen offerings will nearly double as the Company has worked with its esteemed Celebrity Chef Culinary Council to develop an exclusive line ofChef’s Table dinner entrees using a patented new microwaveable steamer bag technology. These signature dishes carry the name of the Chef who created the recipe. Presently, the Celebrity Chef Culinary Council includes: Kent Rathbun, Michael Solomonov, Mark Estee, Carmen Gonzalez and Tony Mantuano.

·         It Works – The Nutrisystem reformulation involves advanced nutritional science to deliver a high level of satiety. Macro-nutrient reformulations optimize weight loss and help avoid pitfalls of typical low calorie diets such as hunger, cravings and eliminating entire food categories. The SUCCESS program’s simplified meal planner helps improve adherence and efficacy; those who adhere to the program can expect to lose between 1 –2 pounds per week.  Initial weight loss may be more. Importantly, clinically meaningful weight loss can take place in as little as a month, with reductions in the waistline and other markers of health.

·         Flexibility and Maintenance - For the first time ever and as a direct result of customer feedback, Nutrisystem will offer a portfolio of flexible transition and maintenance plans including a la carte menu pricing for customers who want to personalize their programs from over 130 menu items.  Nutrisystem’s transition and weight loss maintenance plans were created to guide consumers through different phases of weight loss and maintenance.  These phases are now supported by an “At Home Tool Kit” that includes a Nutrisystem Meal Measure, a Healthy Steps™ Portion Control Serving Set, as well as a low Glycemic Index cookbook, “The Low GI Cookbook—Nutrisystem Edition.” With SUCCESS transition and maintenance plans, customers are now able to create a truly customizable program, combining their own meals with perfectly proportioned Nutrisystem meals delivered right to their door, ready in minutes with no counting points, weighing portions or attending meetings. 

·         Exercise Counts – Nutrisystem is also introducing “My Daily 3,” comprised of three 10-minute intervals of physical activity or 30 minutes of moderate daily exercise. Customers can take a short assessment quiz on www.nutrisystem.com and receive a personalized two-week sample “My Daily 3” program to get started.  The Nutrisystem website offers other valuable information to personalize fitness goals.

I'm Blog of the Month! :)

Justmarriedmomof3's Blog of the Month

 

She wrote about us! Click the link, or the picture to go read the article!
TY Michelle.  :)

Syke or Sike, or Psych? Either way- I'm on one.

Fooled ya.

I thought I was back, and I had every intention on being back, however I am so sick with the flu, and I have had a miserable past few days. I have basically slept the past 4 days away. As I type right now- I am literally coughing my freaking head off. I thought that I had a cold, and was feeling better.. so I let the hubby talk me in to making what he called a "short" trip (100+ mi) to pick up a car from a Carmax in a neighboring big city that was non-transferable. The car that we had cost us an arm and a leg, in payments and gas.
Carmax has always been good to us, and I love how they are no-haggle.  (No- this is not a sponsored post, just my honest opinion.)
We went to a Nissan dealership and they screwed us around for hours and it was so frustrating. See, we were interested in trading my Enclave for the more gas savvy Cube. A quick search online of the local Nissan Dealerships showed that none had any on the lots. So we thought we'd call a few, just in case they hadn't updated their sites. We called Coggins on Atlantic and they said that while they didn't have one on their lot, but could get one from one of their neighboring lots. Apparently they own more than just a Nissan dealership and intended on bringing one for us to see. We drive a good ways to get there, and nope. They see my interest in the Juke, and suddenly they "can't get a Cube til next year". I tell them, OK, well next year is in a few days.... Then one salesman remarks to my husband how "sorry he feels for him".

Great way to sell a car right? 

http://www.nissanusa.com/juke/

The Juke was an amazing car and I test drove it. While the rear end of it is not so appealing to me, the inside is immaculate. I love the styling and details. Driving it also impressed me, because it was Turbo-Charged and drove like a dream. We ultimately decided though, that being a first year released model, it wouldn't be the best purchase decision, since 1st year models usually have the most defects and issues, which are later fixed in following years. Especially since it was almost as costly as the Enclave and wouldn't save us money-- which was kind of the point. But boy did I like it. The Juke claims to get 27/32 mpg, which if it's true; is very impressive. However- upon reading the Edmunds reviews of the car, one reviewer who bought it said "What was Nissan smoking when they based that assumption that that was accurate mileage for that car?" Stating that they only got 20. In addition, I know one reviewer said only if you drive like a grandma, and leave the car in Economy Mode, and NEVER switch to Turbo, and even then, you cant get the numbers Nissan states. But kind-of close. I know I can't drive like that. While 20 mpg is better than my Enclave's 15, still not nearly as impressive as the 27/31 the Cube gets.. and on our way back home, I got the Cube up to 33+ mpg.
Back to Coggins....
Then, as we are about to walk out, the Nissan Cube they brought us in on the pretense of showing us, they told us they couldn't get til "next year" then, "in about 3 months", they can suddenly "have on the lot tomorrow for us to see".
This is why I love Carmax. No haggle, none of this, "let me go talk to my boss" it's just silly how car dealerships will try to treat you. All of our cars have come from Carmax, but they have very few Cube's right now. Cube must be a pretty good car, since no-one is wanting to trade them in. The reviewers I have read of it the owners are passionate about them, and enjoy driving them immensely. I am not used to driving a 4 cylinder anymore, but if it saves us money- then great! I kinda feel like I am driving a go-cart, because of the way it takes so long to shift and how it sounds while driving. When in idle you can't tell its running, but on the interstate (as the reviewers on Edmunds only real complaint of the Cube was) it has a lot of wind noise, probably because of it's square & not-so-aerodynamic design.

We ended up deciding to take the 100mi + drive to pick up the closest Cube from them since for some reason it was non-transferable. So long story short, we take this drive with me sick, getting sicker by the day, and stay overnight and come back and since then I have gotten worse and worse. Perhaps all these holiday travelers bringing in sicknesses that different areas aren't yet immune to?

Because 'tis the season right? 

I know it's New Year, but the last thing I plan on doing is getting drunk and partying. Ugh. FML. So Happy New Year to you guys, and remember to use Germ EX!  very Happy New Year!
