Four Weight Loss Champions Win $10,000 Each and a Trip to a Nutrisystem Photo Shoot
FORT WASHINGTON, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Nutrisystem (NASDAQ: NTRI), a leading provider of weight management products and services, announced today the winners of the $40,000 NutriStar Giveaway. The four weight loss champions collectively shed nearly 400 pounds and were awarded $10,000 each plus a trip to a Nutrisystem photo shoot in Tampa, Florida.
“We look forward to the NutriStar Giveaway each year,” said Keira Krausz, CMO of Nutrisystem. “As in past years, we had so many fantastic submissions, making it difficult for us select just four winners. Hearing our customers’ weight loss success stories is an inspiration and really makes what we do worthwhile. We are excited to share their winning stories!”
A panel of qualified Nutrisystem judges selected the following four winners:
Edouard Dorval – Jersey City, N.J.
Edouard lost 85 pounds.
After being denied access to a waterpark ride due to his weight, Edouard began distancing himself from friends and avoiding taking photos. He endured many failed attempts to jumpstart his weight loss and it wasn’t until Edouard saw a Nutrisystem commercial that he knew he had to give it a try.
“Today, I am 85 pounds lighter, and I feel great,” said Edouard. “At the office, there are always people stopping by my desk congratulating me or asking how I’ve done it. My friends say I’m a success story.”
Ashley O’Reilly – Saginaw, Mich.
Ashley lost 135 pounds.
A routine doctor’s visit proved to be Ashley’s turning point. She stepped on the scale and couldn’t believe what it displayed. That night she saw a commercial for Nutrisystem and was determined to make a change.
“I had three goals when I ordered Nutrisystem that night,” said Ashley. “The first goal was to be in a bikini by next summer. The second goal was to be in a Nutrisystem photo shoot. The third goal, once successful, was to inspire anyone who needs the motivation to lose weight.”
Edwin Rodriguez – Lawrence, Mass.
Edwin lost 72 pounds.
Edwin was always the “chubby” kid in school – a difficult nickname to swallow. Instead of losing weight, he continued getting bigger and bigger. He was on high-blood pressure medication and knew his health was getting out of control.
“Someone mentioned Nutrisystem to me, and I decided to try it. It was the best choice I ever made!”, said Edwin. “Thank you, Nutrisystem!”
Morgan Root – Fort Polk, La.
Morgan lost 100 pounds.
After completing six years on active duty, Morgan next began a family. After two back-to-back pregnancies, she decided to focus on herself and get back to her pre-baby weight.
Now 100 pounds lighter, Morgan says, “I have found myself again. I am healthier and happier – not only for myself, but also for my children and husband.”
