Meet Jenny P.!

Hello to all of my fellow contestants.  My reason for joining this contest is simple, I've had enough of this life filled with aches and pains.  I want to chase my kids, to run up stairs and to do a cartwheel.  Most of all I want to continue what I started last December.  I've been working out @ RAGE gym here in Lehi.  I've had a personal trainer helping me and following certain food guidelines that the owner of the gym has given to me.  From Dec.08 - Aug. 09 I lost 42lbs. and 35 inches.  From then on I've been in a rut.  I lost my mojo and was praying something would help me get remotivated again.  I heard about the contest and knew this was my answer.  So Jourdan for what it's worth, thank you from the bottom of my heart for the opportunity to be a part of the contest.  Thank you for all your time you have put in and will put in as our host.  You rock!

As for my goal(s) for the next t 12 weeks and beyond is as follows:  1- take it one day @ a time, one hour at a time is more like it.  I'm a very emotional eater; happy, sad, angry, frustration, and stress.  I have to tell myself that all the sacrifices I make now are worth the life long rewards I'll gain.  This is way more than just being the biggest loser (not that I'm not in it to win it) this is about being in controll of my life and being free from this bondage I've kept myself in for most of my life.  As far as the #'s go for the final weigh-in, I don't want to focus on the #, because it stresses me out.  So lets just say that I want to lose enough for people to say to me, wow Jen have you been losing weight? Why yes, yes I have, thank you for noticing.  I also have a dress that's a size smaller that I plan on wearing for Christmas.  As for a longer term goal, my friend and I are planning to run the Lehi Round-up 5K run in June 2010.  I look forward to seeing everyones progress and sincerely wish all of you the best of luck.
