Her journey is an American success story."--Steven N. Blair, President and CEO, The Cooper Institute"Jenny Craig is a pioneer in delivering nutritious, portion-controlled food, now recognized as one of the most powerful dietary weight-loss tools, in the context of a comprehensive program to change one's lifestyle.
