A Weight Loss Program for the 21st Century

Here at Nutrisystem, our mission is to provide a weight loss program based on quality foods and a nutritionally balanced meal plan; individualized counseling is the core of our commitment that customers always have the privacy, support and knowledge needed to reach their goal weight.

A Brief History

Nutrisystem, Inc. has been helping America get thin and healthy for over 35 years. Through its comprehensive weight loss program, Nutrisystem developed into a leader in the weight loss industry, and became a publicly traded company in October of 1999 (NASDAQ: NTRI).

In that same year, in conjunction with its network marketing division of nationwide consultants and direct sales, known as Nutrisystem Direct, the company launched its innovative website - www.nutrisystem.com - and paved the way for a new breed of weight loss company.

Live counseling, both online and via telephone, replaced traditional customer visits to brick-and-mortar centers, and created a new and extremely private way for people to deal with oftentimes difficult weight loss issues. Additionally, by way of online ordering, Nutrisystem could now deliver its quality food and meal programs directly to consumer doorsteps, providing them with a convenient and streamlined way to learn better eating habits and lose weight. Clients just log-on, decide on a recommended meal plan, order their food, and once it arrives, they're ready to go. Nutrisystem also offers vitamins and dietary supplements to clients, to ensure that their customers receive proper nutrition while focusing on weight loss.

Partnerships

With the addition of an exclusive contract with the QVC network in 2001, Nutrisystem earned an even larger presence within the weight loss industry, and now boasts superior earnings and increased brand awareness through this favorable affiliation.

New Online Presence

Nutrisystem now stands as a constant pillar of support and information for those looking to lose weight in a busy world. As an Internet force, its wide-ranging web content, combined with its knowledgeable and well-trained counselors, equals a powerful resource for all dieting consumers.

Nutrisystem believes in its clients and is there to help them, every step of the way. Together with its growing online member community, Nutrisystem makes weight loss-and the goal of becoming healthy and fit-a reality for millions.
