22-Year-Old Credits Nutrisystem for Giving Her
Back Confidence and Health
Nutrisystem, Inc. (Nasdaq: NTRI), a leading provider of
weight management products and services including
Nutrisystem®, South Beach Diet®, and
DNA Body Blueprint™, announced today that Nutrisystem Success
Story, Alexis Freed, is featured in the January 14, 2019 “Half
Their Size” issue of PEOPLE, which hits newsstands nationwide
today, January 4. The 22-year-old is ringing in the New Year
feeling happy and healthy after dropping 140 pounds.
Freed found herself as a high school freshman at a peak weight
of 285 pounds. She struggled to fit into the desk in her classroom
and was being bullied by classmates. Her health was declining, she
was pre-diabetic and suffered from sleep apnea. Her doctor and
loved ones were worried and she knew she had to regain control.
“I was fed up and wanted to make a change,” says Freed. “I
started to cut out fast food and junk food, but couldn’t see myself
sticking to a strict diet. I would always revert back to unhealthy
eating habits. My mom saw I was frustrated with myself and sat me
down. She said, ‘Let’s do the research and see what will work for
you. I don’t want you to miss out on being a child.’”
Freed and her mother consulted her doctor and decided
Nutrisystem would be a great fit. “We bought my first kit and I
never looked back,” added Freed. “Nutrisystem is so convenient and
I could take it on the go. It was easy for me to take with me to
school and I immediately started seeing results, which gave me the
motivation to keep going.”
"As the weight fell off, I began exercising and started gaining
more and more confidence. I was so excited to be able to shop for
new clothes and look and feel stylish. I had started high school at
285 pounds and by my senior year, I weighed 145 pounds! I could
honestly say for the first time in my life, I
was confident in my own skin. Now three years after
graduating, I have kept off the weight and feel extremely proud of
myself and my weight loss journey."
“Alexis is such an inspiration, especially to young people
struggling with their weight,” said Dawn Zier, CEO of Nutrisystem,
Inc. “We are incredibly proud of her and know she will continue on
in good health, helping others achieve their goals along the
way.”
"Nutrisystem changed the way I approach food altogether. It
taught me what portions should look like. It taught me
that I didn't have to completely cut the yummy stuff
out to see results. I've learned how to avoid making bad choices
and my plate looks totally different with the addition of healthy
carbs, fruits and vegetables. I know what I can eat now
to maintain my weight and am so thankful."
