Mariah Carey is new brand ambassador for Jenny Craig

November 9, 2011 – The weight management brand, which will be now be known only as Jenny, has made Mariah Carey its latest ambassador, after the singer’s 30 pound loss on the program during the past four months.  Carey started on Jenny in late July following the birth of her twins Monroe Cannon and Moroccan Scott Cannon in April.

Jenny has announced also that it will be nationally supporting the American Heart Association's My Heart. My Life. initiative that will include participation by Mariah Carey. Jenny is supporting the American Heart Association's My Heart. My Life. initiative by launching a multi-faceted program in the coming year, including PSAs, community programs, education and online activations. Today, anyone can visit http://www.jennycraig.com to get a link to the American Heart Association's My Life Check, a simple questionnaire that evaluates heart health and potential risk for heart disease.

Mariah Carey will serve as Jenny's lead Brand Ambassador throughout this initiative and is excited to encourage and inspire others to live healthy, happy, active lives. "As an artist, I use my voice to entertain. But, today I want to use my voice to draw attention to a serious matter. Two-thirds of the country is placing themselves at risk for heart disease and diabetes. Largely, that is due to unhealthy eating patterns and lack of physical activity. I obtained a greater understanding of this when I was pregnant with my twins and dealing with my own health issues. That's why I feel so strongly about working with Jenny and the American Heart Association to help Americans get serious about their health as it pertains to these issues which are so important."
