Carlsbad, Calif. (September 22, 2012) — Jenny Craig Brand Ambassador Bre’ly Evans is proud to participate in the American Heart Association’s Heart Walk on behalf of “Team Jenny,” in Atlanta, Georgia on Saturday, September 22nd. The Heart Walk is the American Heart Association's premiere event that brings communities together to raise funds and celebrate progress in the fight against this country's No. 1 and No. 4 killers, heart disease and stroke. Jenny Craig is a proud National Sponsor of the American Heart Association’s Heart Walk and is supporting more than 300 walks across the United States in 2012.

Actress Bre’ly Evans has lost 33 pounds* on Jenny Craig.

“I was tired of feeling like the ‘big’ girl all of the time,” said Evans. “I knew I owed it to myself to be the vibrant, vivacious person on the outside that I was on the inside. My grandmother died from diabetes, and I know that I can make changes for my health now to live my best life.” There is evidence that shows losing 5-10% of your body weight reduces your risk for cardiovascular diseases through improvements in blood cholesterol levels.1

In support of the American Heart Association’s healthy-living initiative My Heart. My Life™, Jenny Craig launched My Heart. My Life.™ My Jenny, which focuses on educating the public regarding the significant health risks associated with weight-related diseases, including heart disease and stroke. Through marketing campaigns, PSAs, community programs, education and online activations, the brand is encouraging the public to eat better, move more and live a healthier life.

“Bre’ly came to us expressing interest in losing weight, getting healthy and changing her lifestyle,” said Dana Fiser, Global CEO of Jenny Craig. “We’re thrilled to see her achieve those goals with our clinically proven, personalized program with one-on-one support and are so proud to have Bre’ly representing Jenny Craig at the Atlanta Heart Walk today. She is an inspiration to everyone around her!”

Most people don’t realize that weight impacts their heart health and maintaining a healthy weight can positively impact risk factors including blood pressure and cholesterol management, blood sugar levels and BMI. Current research surveys show that less than 1 percent of Americans are in “ideal heart health,” as defined by the AHA and that’s why Jenny is proud to be supporting the American Heart Association’s mission to improve the cardiovascular health of all Americans by 20 percent by 20202.

Through engagement with its centres, Jenny will bring its clinically-proven approach to weight loss and motivate the public to participate in the Heart Walks throughout the country with free training plans at www.jennycraig.com.

*Clients following our program, on average, lose 1-2 pounds per week.
