"Prior to joining Nutrisystems, I weighed as much as I had 14 years earlier when I was 9 months pregnant with my son. I also had fibromyalgia and spent sleepless nights suffering from chronic back pain. I tried to keep up with our family's active lifestyle but found myself begging off more often than not. I looked -- and felt -- middle-aged. I couldn't run the 1/2-mile loop around the local park; even a short walk around the block left me winded. In addition, my hands hurt so badly that I could not open a jar. Fortunately, I came across the Global Health & Fitness website. Here was a program I could fit into my life. They offered the personalized support and programs I needed to make fitness a way of life. This is exactly what I wanted! Shortly after becoming a Nutrisystems member, I made the following 6-month goals: to make new healthy habits, to lose fat and add lean muscle, and to improve my cardiovascular fitness. I began following the Global Health & Fitness teachings and committed myself to working out 3-5 times a week and gradually changed my diet, becoming more conscience of my protein, fat, and carbohydrate intake. Gradually, I started seeing the difference in how I felt and looked. The fat -- 24 pounds of it -- was finally coming off. Clothes that I had not worn for years came out of the back recesses of the closet. At a church dinner someone mistook me for being my son's sister, not his mother. Thanks to Nutrisystems's program, I am now able to do things I've never done or haven't done for years. I can ski all day or run 5 miles without stopping. I can participate in an hour-long cycling class and challenge myself throughout the exercise. I even backpacked a 19-mile trip this summer in the Sawtooth National Forest. These activities were impossible for me before. The Nutrisystems program gave me a goal and a vision on which to keep my focus. The Monday Motivation gave me a weekly boost and reminder of the journey that I was on. The customized exercise programs gave me a place to start and build my workouts. And their personal fitness consulting assured that I was maximizing my time and efforts. Thanks so much for everything Nutrisystems!" Tamara C. Sandmeyer tami@sandcastleslc.com "I just wanted to e-mail you my thanks and appreciation for your amazing programme. I reached my three month goal today and am very excited! When I first joined I told you that I'd like to write a brief testimonial when I got there, so I hope the following is of interest. My appreciation is very genuine... Three months ago I was 18% bodyfat and today I reached my goal of 'single digits' at 9%. During that time I also built my cardiovascular fitness significantly (I could run for 20 minutes at 10kph when I started, now I run 45 minutes at 13kph, without any breaks), I didn't loose any muscle, and I actually increased my weightlifting strength a little too. The programme you offered was very healthy, I ate well, felt comfortable and always had lots of energy. The learning's about nutrition and metabolism I took from the programme are life skills that I'll use forever. What amazed me was that before I started with your program I thought that at age 34 I just had to "get used" to being out of shape because there wasn't going to be anything I could do about it. That turned out to be completely wrong. Many thanks once again for everything you've done for me. Your company is incredible and I'm so glad I finally joined your programme!"

"Nutri Systems is the very best thing that I have ever done! People outside the US, please don't let the exchange rate turn you away! The programs are easy to implement and very effective. They are varied to prevent boredom and 'shock' your muscles continually by doing different exercises and techniques. I had a discectomy in June of 2000 at level L4-5. I also found out I have degenerative disc disease at L3-4. I knew that I had to get my butt in gear and do something before I ended up a total wreck. September 6, 2000, I joined the local gym doing my physical therapy. I received a work out from a trainer and okayed it with my therapist. I quickly became tired of this modified routine. I wanted more. A friend told me about Nutrisystems. That was October 19, 2000. Then entered Dani into my fitness life and it's been all fun and results ever since! I started at Phase 2 of the General fitness program. My lean muscle mass has increased while my fat decreased (32% down to 26%). And I've lost inches, more than 8 total, from Oct. 3, 2000 to Jan. 31, 2001. Today, May 28, 2001, I weigh in at 131 lbs, my fat is at 22% and total inches lost is just over 12! Again, I would like to thank Dani and all those who created Nutrisystems and have personally helped me achieve more than I ever thought was possible. It's great, the service is quick and you guys are always right on the money with your advice." Sandra Fenske lsfenske@vennercs.com "Greetings, Dani. I have been plugging away on my exercise program. This week I am beginning the 9th week of the second phase of your Strength and Power program. So far, I haven't missed a single workout. I am pleased with my progress because I have gained about 15lbs of solid muscle. Also, overall strength gains have been substantial. My thighs, chest, arms, shoulders, and glutes are the areas where I've increased the most size and strength. But even my back and calves have grown to a noticeable extent. So I want to thank you, Dani, for encouraging me to take on the most challenging option from the Customized Programs and how to master it for the best results. I first thought it would be a bit too intense to undertake at my age, but not so. I feel good and am still making incredible gains in strength and size. Although I have reached my initial goal of gaining 15 lbs, I now want to strive for more. My next goal is an additional gain of 10 to 15lbs of muscle gain. Thanks a million for all your wonderful advice and for helping me get the most out of your truly amazing program!!" Ed Price ed_l_price@msn.com

"I have to congratulate Global Health & Fitness for giving me the motivation and the support in getting back in shape at the age of 42. Chad was instrumental in my success by keeping up with my progress, keeping me motivated while providing me the killer workouts and dietary information throughout the 6-month fitness contest. You couldn't ask for better service and professionalism with the whole Global Health & Fitness program. In the last 6 months of their fitness contest, while on their very effective program, I lost almost 8% bodyfat, added 90 pounds to both my bench press and squats exercise, and just won 2nd place in an all-natural bodybuilding contest! And as the 2nd place winner of a $1500 shopping spree in Nutrisystems's 6-month fitness contest, I was able to purchase Star Trac's Pro 5430 Recumbent bike that I was never able to afford. Now I'll never get out of shape again! For those of you who are thinking about an online trainer, you can't beat it! Where else can you get this kind of support with 24 certified professional at your fingertips who are ready and willing to help you with all your questions and put you on the right track to reaching your goals? You won't find this quality of professionals and the available information at any gym or personal training facility. For almost the cost of one session with a personal trainer, members receive very effective customized programs, unlimited consulting, fitness software, online books and hundreds of exercise instructions and video demo's, and so much more. You can't beat the value of this program; it's truly amazing! Don't wait! Join today, you will be so glad you did. Global Health & Fitness, thank you so much and keep up the great work!"
