How AMAZING is this woman! This is why I do what I do. I have struggled with my weight for most of my life I think. I was chubby in my pre teen years ... then after I left school it blew out of control until I tipped the scales at 100kg in my twenties. It kept creeping up until finally I was 122 kg and 40 years old. I knew I had PCOS and had tried everything to lose weight along the way ... over the years I have tried Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, Biggest Loser, Atkins Diet, specialist doctors ... most of the diets didnt work because I just wasnt able to stick to them ... they were unsustainable. And I just didnt feel that they were right ... hard to get behind something 100% when youre not sure the nutritionist behind the diet has got it entirely right. Anyway, fast forward to July 2013 and I discovered Jen. First conversation with Jen I knew that she knows her stuff. And her approach was flexible ... not you have to do things this way ... but we will adjust and adapt until it works for you. I felt like I had someone in my corner to support me now ... and even after our consultations ended Jen still supports me! Her knowledge base is amazing. Jen is not your usual condescending health professional - she is caring, thoughtful, always seems to be thinking about you in the background with practical suggestions for tweaking your lifestyle to work better for you. At the risk of sounding arrogant, its not often someone offers me information that is new to me or of practical use ... advice from others usually smacks of something your mother would tell you ... but every fortnight Jen had something new for me! That was six months ago. I committed and completely changed the way I ate in July and have not varied from that in over 6 months! I have found it easy to do this time because I really, really am passionate and believe in this way of eating. Jen has given me so much information and I have done my own research to back it up. No point in wasting the opportunity of having Jen in your corner ... get actively involved in your life and fix it! Anyway, the results speak for themselves. I am now 100.3 kg ... the weight just dropped off seemingly without effort. And thats without any exercise as due to health reasons I am not able to! My blood pressure was (at its best) 140/95 ... its now 103/70. I no longer have blood sugar issues and I suspect I am no longer a borderline diabetic. I now no longer worry about my health ... I am still in the overweight category and have 32kg to lose but I no longer think its insurmountable. Im not in a giant hurry to lose the weight like I used to be ... I am quietly confident it will fall off in time without any problems. If you want to lose weight there is no quick fixes ... I think everyone knows that by now though some still delude themselves that a pill or shake will do it for them. If you listen to Jen, value her opinion like I do and do your part ... it will be easy. If you expect Jen to do the work for you like taking a pill or a shake, youll never lose weight in whatever you do anyway. Dont waste your life, I say ... its much too short to spend it constantly thinking about how you look and feel and how in Gods name you can get this weight off. Im wearing clothes that I never thought I would wear again ... the relief and joy Ive gotten from this process is invaluable. Jen is the answer to the one question I honestly never thought Id find the answer to ... how am I ever going to lose weight? Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Jen. This is it for me for life!
