I am a 49-year-old female who has been concerned about weight issues since I was in the seventh grade. I was fortunate that my mom always saw to it that I made healthy choices, but it was always a worry of mine — never being thin enough or fit enough.

After having both my children, I had success at Weight Watchers. Fast forward to age 48 and it all came back and NOTHING came off no matter what diet or exercise plan I was on.

A few months before turning 50, I met with Jennifer and decided to give weight training a try. She put me on a detox eating plan and I lost 10 pounds seemingly overnight. 

More surprising than that, I began to really enjoy weight training. I had always been a cardio junkie before but within weeks, I was pulling clothes out of the closet that had been too small, only to find that they now looked great on me.

My desire for good food instead of junk food had been a great surprise too. I look forward to a dinner of salmon, brown rice and salad more than pasta, garlic bread and chocolate cake.

I feel great, confident and I’m happy with myself. I still am working on my health and wellness but I know I’m on the right path and have Jennifer to thank for helping me find my way.
