It was a huge risk for Jenny Craig to use her as the company's spokeswoman because it had never used someone before they lost weight. But she did - so far she's down at least 65 pounds, according to her blog on Jenny Craig's Web site. The campaign generated an enormous amount of buzz for Jenny Craig and got consumers to try the diet.
