     Davis wanted to lose weight in the off-season to get into the best
 "game-shape" possible and decided to incorporate Jenny Craig into his
 training regimen. After losing 19 pounds on Jenny Craig's at-home program,
 Jenny Direct(R), Davis plans to educate sports fans about the positive
 health benefits of losing weight.
 
     "I wanted to live in a better body and switch up my normal training
 regimen by incorporating a new nutrition program. In the past, I've had to
 adjust my lifestyle and eating habits, but I was really surprised that
 Jenny Craig offered a personalized program that fit my busy schedule. My
 consultant worked with me each week to tailor a menu that fit my demanding
 lifestyle, which made it easy for me to follow. And I have to say, the food
 was amazing! And after shedding the weight, I feel more than ready to
 tackle the upcoming season," said Davis.
 
     He plans to utilize the partnership to launch a weight loss challenge
 and continue Jenny Craig's mission to encourage others to live a healthy
 lifestyle. "I'm going to interact with other men and women through my blog
 on jennycraig.com. Consider it Baron's Better Body Challenge to get you
 into shape. Right now we are dealing with an obesity epidemic that is
 killing our country with more than two-thirds of the country overweight. I
 want to influence America to take better care of themselves. People need to
 do it for their health."
 
     Jenny Craig Sr. Director of Branding and Advertising, Steve Bellach,
 added, "We are thrilled to have someone of Baron's caliber join forces with
 Jenny Craig to support our mission of achieving a healthy lifestyle. Baron
 was able to reach his weight loss goals through Jenny Direct, our at-home
 program, where he could do his consultations over the phone and have his
 food shipped right to his door, a convenience that many of our clients
 enjoy."
 
     Baron Davis will leverage his new role with Jenny Craig to promote an
 active lifestyle. He will participate in several community oriented events
 and will use the jennycraig.com website as well as his own personal blog
 and website to reach out to consumers.
