Norwalk, Conn., Jan. 18, 2006 - With a wave of New Year's health and weight loss resolutions currently underway, an emerging health care discount program called HealthSaver can help you shed the pounds, without slimming down your pocketbook.

According to numerous polls, a healthier lifestyle is one of the top priorities for Americans in 2006, and HealthSaver can help you reach your wellness goals.

And what better way to get into shape than through the popular and well-balanced Jenny Craig, Inc. weight loss program. HealthSaver has teamed up with Jenny Craig to offer great savings on a variety of weight loss programs.

"There's no better way to stick to your New Year's resolutions than to jump into a healthy wellness program like HealthSaver and Jenny Craig," said HealthSaver Vice President Lorien Saumier. "This can help you stay on the path to a better well-being in 2006."

With HealthSaver, members can save money when they use Jenny Craig's well-balanced and sensible weight-loss programs.
