Fort Washington, PA, APRIL 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ – Nutrisystem, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRI), a leader in weight loss with over 40 years of proven effectiveness, has signed a new female celebrity spokesperson and has been named the “Best Convenience” diet by USA TODAY.   The Company also revealed that in addition to “Super Monday” (the day after the final football game of the season), “Easter Monday” is one of the biggest diet decision days of the year. 

Melissa Joan Hart Named New Nutrisystem Brand Ambassador 

Nutrisystem announced today Melissa Joan Hart, 36, actress, writer, producer, director, singer and mother of three, as its newest brand ambassador.

Having recently given birth to her third child, the longtime actress has already lost twenty pounds on Nutrisystem.  Hart is best known for her title roles in the television series Clarissa Explains It All (1991-94), the live action version of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch (1996-2003) and is currently starring in the ABC Family comedy series Melissa & Joey (2010-present).

“We are thrilled to be helping and working with Melissa,” commented Keira Krausz, Nutrisystem’s Chief Marketing Officer.  “She mirrors our values and will resonate with our customers as authentic.   Moving forward, you’ll see us have an appropriate mix of inspiring celebrities and real life customers who have also enjoyed success.  We think dieters are savvier than ever and really appreciate someone who — above all else — is relatable.”   

“I love working with Nutrisystem.  The Program is really delivering results for me and I look forward to long term success, staying motivated and helping others do the same,” remarked Ms. Hart. 

“Easter Monday” One of the Biggest Diet Start Dates

 The Company also revealed that the Monday following Easter has historically been one of the biggest diet decision days of the year based on a 25% spike in phone and web inquiries from consumers versus the Monday prior.  According to proprietary Company data, as Americans turn their focus to warmer weather and vacations, the demand for healthy weight loss solutions rises. 

“There’s no question it’s primetime for the diet industry,” added Ms. Krausz.  “Consumers who go into the holiday weekend with weight loss momentum need to keep it and those who have resolved to lose weight, but are off-track, feel a heightened sense of urgency.  At Nutrisystem, it’s our job to meet you where you are and turbo-charge your efforts.” 

Nutrisystem Named “Best Convenience” Diet  

Nutrisystem was also recently named the “Best Convenience” Diet in The Best Diet & Fitness Tips, a new USA TODAY publication featuring some of the best advice from USA TODAY, Shape and Men’s Fitness.

“Convenience is an important factor when it comes to adherence and it’s terrific to see notable experts acknowledging our efforts to make Nutrisystem a diet that uniquely recognizes the importance of a delivering a plan that fits within the busy lives we all lead and drives real weight loss results,” commented Meghan Nichols, R.D., a registered dietitian and member of Nutrisystem’s Research & Development team.

Fort Washington, PA (PR Web), February 25, 2013

McGirr’s younger daughter, Isabel, was born in 2005 with serious health issues. Although Isabel’s medical problems were significant, McGirr and her husband never thought they would lose their precious daughter. But in 2009 they did.

In the aftermath of this crushing blow, McGirr’s world came crashing down. McGirr was struggling with incredible sadness and with the physical burden of an extra 60 pounds, gained while pregnant and during the challenging years of rearing a sick child. It is not uncommon for people to gain weight after emotionally traumatic events. Having tried Nutrisystem before, McGirr turned to it again to regain control and lost 63 pounds* on program. Now the Staunton, Virginia resident is actively sharing her story to help others reclaim their lives.

When asked what motivated her to get in shape the 46-year old says, “I’m going to be sad every day for the rest of my life, but I don’t have to be sad that I can’t zip my pants. There are things that are within our power to change and things that aren’t. Being healthier is something we can all choose. “

McGirr is also gratified that she’s setting a positive example for her older child, Grace. Nutrisystem, McGirr says gave her “hope that things can get better; faith that we can make positive change in our lives.”

On Tuesday, February 26, McGirr will join fellow Nutrisystem success story, Marie Osmond, on her new Hallmark Channel talk show to share her story in hopes of inspiring others to make the change to get healthy in 2013. McGirr will be the fourth Nutrisystem success story featured on the show’s “New Year, New You!” segment for the month of February.

Nutrisystem® programs appeal to a wide-range of people interested in losing weight for a variety of reasons – people like Dr. Michael Haney, a physician who understood the need to lose weight to become a better role model for his family and patients; Nick Gaudio, a 30-year old whose weight gain left him feeling depressed; Tara Primis, a mother of two whose weight had grown to 276 pounds and was looking for a vegetarian program to guide her through weight loss; Mara Hall who chose Nutrisystem D to help lose weight to better manage her diabetes.

*Results not typical.
On Nutrisystem, you can expect to lose at least 1-2 lbs. per week. Individuals are remunerated. Weight lost on prior Nutrisystem® program.

From 2005 to 2012, Ms. Krausz served as Vice President of Marketing for QSP, Inc., a subsidiary of Time, Inc. and the largest youth fundraising company in America. During her tenure at QSP, she built the company’s e-commerce business into a significant contributor to revenues, developed social media strategies to drive customer engagement and sales, and ultimately worked with senior leadership to execute on the sale of the company in 2012. Following the sale, she became head of new business development for Animated Storyboards, the largest global independent provider of television test spots to the advertising industry.

Ms. Krausz started her career at Reader’s Digest Association (RDA) in 1992, and held a number of progressively-responsible positions in product management, marketing, and business management, ultimately ascending to Vice President, General Manager, of RDA’s Books & Music Business. Strategies she implemented in that capacity resulted in revitalized product flow, new partnerships, and expansion of the company’ s customer base, which ultimately drove multi-million-dollar improvements in operating profits.

Dawn Zier, President and Chief Executive Officer of Nutrisystem, says, “Keira brings the perfect set of skills to the top marketing job at Nutrisystem and can quickly hit the ground running and make a positive impact. Throughout her career, she has worked in the direct consumer response arena and is adept at identifying new sources of revenue, fixing struggling businesses, and maximizing margins and profitability. In addition, her recent experience in the advertising sector will be helpful as we seek to refresh our message to consumers and inject a more female-oriented perspective that speaks to the entire weight loss journey into both our broadcast ads and online presence.”
Keira Krausz added, “I am a strong believer in what Nutrisystem has to offer. Dieters are most successful with a structured program and personal support and encouragement as they seek to change their lives and become who they want to be. Throughout my career, I’ve been tapped to turn around direct marketing businesses, and I believe that with a renewed focus on the fundamentals, creative development and optimization of sales channels, and implementation of more effective e-commerce strategies, we can return the company to growth. I look forward to working with Dawn Zier and the Nutrisystem team to execute our turnaround plan.”

Ms. Krausz holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Cornell University and a Master of Business Administration from The Amos Tuck School of Business Administration at Dartmouth College.

Mike Amburgey, the company’s Chief Marketing Officer since October 2011, will depart the company to pursue other interests.

Additional Management Changes

Separately, the company also announced that David Clark, Chief Financial Officer, will depart the company after the fourth quarter earnings release in early March 2013 to join a publicly-traded company as its Chief Financial Officer. Nutrisystem is conducting a search for a new Chief Financial Officer. Kathleen Simone, the company’s Controller for more than 15 years, will serve as Acting Chief Financial Officer if Mr. Clark’s replacement is not appointed before his departure. Ms. Simone is currently responsible for all aspects of the company’s accounting and financial reporting, as well as risk management.

Dawn Zier added, “I want to thank both David and Mike for their many contributions to Nutrisystem. Thus far in 2013, we believe the execution of our turnaround plan is having a positive early impact on year-over-year profits, as preliminary January results showed improvement in gross margins. While it’s still early, we’re encouraged by these metrics and we anticipate that we can continue to make positive improvements as the year progresses.”

Fourth Quarter Earnings Release and Conference Call Details
Nutrisystem will announce fourth quarter earnings at 4:00pm on Tuesday, March 5, 2013. The company will hold a conference call with the investment community at 4:30pm EST that day.

FORT WASHINGTON, Pa., January 31, 2013 – Nutrisystem, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRI), the leading home delivery weight loss program for men and women, has identified “Super Monday” — the Monday after the final football game of the season — as one of the biggest dieting decision days of the year.  Based on the Company’s proprietary data, there is historically a post-game rally to inquire about the Nutrisystem® Men’s Program from men (and sometimes their wives and girlfriends) looking to kick start weight loss.

In response to the demand, football legend and hall of fame quarterback Dan Marino and former football entertainment reporter, Jillian Barberie Reynolds, are encouraging people to lose weight and stay fit as they both have on the Nutrisystem Program.  As part of the motivational “Super Monday” campaign, Nutrisystem is launching a “Pledge to Lose” contest with a chance to win the Nutrisystem® program for one year, autographed Dan and Jillian memorabilia and a grand prize of an all-inclusive trip for two to the Bahamas. Anyone can enter by “liking” the Company’s Facebook page and completing an entry form starting today and joining the pledge to lose (http://www.facebook.com/Nutrisystem).

According to Nutrisystem, which is a leader in diet plans for men, Monday is the biggest diet decision day of the week and Mondays after holiday weekends are even bigger.  Game day for the final football game of the season has become a national holiday of sorts and, for millions of Americans, hitting the scale the day-after can be a real wake-up call.

Four-time Super Bowl  champion and legendary Hall of Fame quarterback, Terry Bradshaw, who lost 32 pounds* on Nutrisystem, says, “It makes perfect sense.  You go for the chips, you go long for the guacamole and you just keep going.  Then, you wake up the next day and think, ‘Man, I gotta do something I know will work.  I need a winning game plan.”

Marino added, “This is the time of year I get the most questions about Nutrisystem.  I am thrilled we are going to seize the moment and help people turn the motivation to lose weight into an action plan.”

Nutrisystem is guaranteed to work**, even when other diets have failed with 90% of customers who stayed on the program surveyed agreeing that the Nutrisystem® Success® program is easier to follow than other weight loss programs they have tried or dieting on their own. In a 2009 customer survey conducted by the National Business Research Institute for Nutrisystem, it was reported that customers lost an average of 43% more weight than dieting on their own. Four out of five customers surveyed agreed that Nutrisystem Success worked better than any other program they’ve tried and would recommend the program over another weight loss program they’ve tried.

**The Company offers a 14-day risk free, money back guarantee allowing customers to try the food for 14 days. If they don’t like it for any reason, they can return unused non-frozen food and get a full refund. Nutrisystem even pays for return shipping.

“Let’s be honest, girls watch the game too and we eat and drink at the parties.  The day after can be humbling for all of us.  Dan and I are psyched to be encouraging people to diet with us this year,” said Jillian Barberie Reynolds, who in her 40’s lost 30 pounds* on Nutrisystem and can still rock a bikini.

The Nutrisystem Men’s Program launched in 2006 in response to a gap in commercial weight loss programs for men.  Nutrisystem pioneered the first commercial weight loss program tailored for men complete with home meal delivery right to their door.  A low Glycemic Index (low GI), high protein diet curbs hunger and helps maintain lean muscle mass.

Marino, who lost 22 pounds* on the program and has been a Nutrisystem for Men spokesperson for more than five years, shares, “Nutrisystem sends great tasting food directly to my door.  I just heat and eat.”

Since the first Nutrisystem men’s order was placed, Nutrisystem has helped men lose an estimated 24 million pounds or roughly the equivalent of 95,230 NFL players at an average weight of 252 pounds.

Nutrisystem reveals their latest weight loss success story. Jeni Miller grappled with serious health problems and later with fertility issues, causing her self-esteem to suffer and a serious depression ensued. According to Miller, “I felt lost and didn’t recognize who I was any longer.”

Miller knew she could either take control or stay lost in her feelings of despair. “There came a moment when I decided I could either curl up into a ball of depression forever or turn my life around and make a change for myself for the better,” says Miller.

Miller decided to take control and re-invent herself. She signed up for Nutrisystem and began regular workouts. As the weight came off - over 90 pounds* on Nutrisystem - Miller began to feel more like her old self again. “I started to see the weight coming off and began to feel my confidence returning,” she says. “When I look back at how much weight I lost, I can’t believe how simple it was.”

Nutrisystem, which is based on 40 years of nutrition research and the science of the low glycemic index, offers a variety of great tasting, satisfying, good carbohydrate meals (over 150 menu options) that are designed to be heart healthy.

For Miller, the Nutrisystem® plan “made it so easy to lose the weight in a healthy way, that I never felt hungry, in fact I couldn’t believe how much food I was supposed to eat.” Miller also found the Nutrisystem website helpful in her effort to shed weight. The tracking tools and the advice and encouragement of the Nutrisystem community all played a part in helping her stay focused on her goals.

With her new found confidence, Miller decided to follow a long-time passion and take up acting. The 46-year old has done several acting projects and claims: “I’m better now that I’ve ever been!”

Fort Washington, PA (PRWEB) January 14, 2013

Nutrisystem reveals their latest weight loss success story. When Ken Shooltz of Jennings, Florida was about 30, he started trying to lose weight on every diet around - from high-fat, high fiber diets, to nothing but salads and even the infamous “cabbage soup diet.”

Shooltz would regain weight almost immediately every time. On vacation in China with his wife, Krista, Shooltz was dubbed “The Happy Buddha” and became the group’s mascot. He returned to the U.S. humiliated and angry with himself and was determined to do something.

His wife, Krista, who later became a Nutrisystem success story, suggested he give the program a try. The first week, Shooltz dropped weight and was hooked on the taste of the foods and the convenience of the Nutrisystem program.

Nutrisystem, which is based on 40 years of nutrition research and the science of the low glycemic index, offers a variety of great tasting, satisfying, good carbohydrate meals (over 150 menu options) that are designed to be heart healthy.

Now 120 pounds lighter*, Shooltz, who has made a lot of long-lasting friends through Nutrisystem, feels he’s added years to his life and is pleased with his success: “My family is extremely proud of me, my doctor is thrilled with the weight loss, but most importantly, I am proud of myself.”
