Billie Jean King lost 35 lbs.*

"I'd had it!"

My weight has been one of the hardest issues of my life, since I was 11 years old. That didn't change after I retired. As you get older, you just can't work out like you used to, your lifestyle changes and you gain 3 to 5 pounds a year. After a few years, it catches up to you. When I turned 64, I just asked myself, 'When am I going to start losing weight and regaining my energy?' I didn't care about being thin; I cared about what matters most to me: my health. I'm a Type 2 diabetic, so keeping my weight down is even more important. I'd made a promise to myself that I would lose weight, and it was time to keep it.

Her Weight-Loss Coach

"Thankfully, I found Nutrisystem. It's like having a coach, having someone there to support you. At any given time, I know all the people at Nutrisystem are trying to help me be healthy and lead a better life. Plus, it's convenient for my very busy lifestyle. Nutrisystem is delivered right to my door-when that box comes, it's like Christmas! But this is the thing I love about Nutrisystem: when I'm hungry, I'm hungry. I don't want to wait to eat, even 5 minutes, and with Nutrisystem, I don't have to. Most meals are ready in less than two minutes; it's that easy. So I know I'm going to eat right, eat often, and feel healthy."

Health and Happiness

"I've lost 35 lbs.* with the program, and now my joints don't hurt so much, and I have more energy. So I want to get out and do more. I want to play more tennis; I want to go to the gym more; I want to see my friends more. Life is more fun. But the bottom line is that, as both an athlete and a Type 2 diabetic, I think about health. I have to listen to my body, and accept responsibility for my health. Nutrisystem has helped me do this, and I really believe it can help other people, too."
