I am staying inbetween 137-142. And my body is so happy here, lol. My goal is 130, and Im going to start measuring again so we can track together. :-)

• ** Well, here it is on June 27th, and Im asking you all for support! I have tried for almost a year now to be here for everyone who ever wanted help. I have tried to be a rock, and I forgot that I am human as well as you all! I almost got to goal. I was 131 for about 2 days! Then Im not sure what happened. I am back up to 139 this morning. I am so sorry that I havent been around. I guess sometimes I feel like a failure that I havent reached my goal yet. I ask for your support now. I ask that you help me get through my hard times. I know it is within me to get to my goal. And I know that this phase that Im in will soon pass. I WILL get back on track. I have not lost 51 pounds to gain it back!!~ 140 is my weight where I know, Ok, Jen, slow down. So here I sit apoligizing to anyone who has been waiting for an update on my web page. Or who has emailed me, and heard nothing back. Just know that I am not done! I am down, but my mama taught me to NEVER QUIT! Have faith, Jennifer!!! **

• ** Hello Everyone! I hope that things have been going well for you all! Its been a long summer here in California. We took the kids to a couple of water parks, Knotts, Laughlin, and made about 4 beach trips! Wheew! I'm really happy that its over and that school has started up once again so I can get back on track! :-) Today is Sept 27th, and I'm here to tell you about my trials! It seems that I got away from working out and eating right for about 3 months. Just started slacking. I'm not too sure why after I was making such wonderful progress! BUT as we know, the beat goes on, and I just have to pick up the pieces and move on. Today I am 136.5 down from 147. I know, I know, 147!!?? lol Well, I'm not too sure what happened but it was ugly! My clothes weren't fitting good, I couldn't wear my size 7 shorts. And even now they don't fit the way they did. Once we stop working out, things shift. And I gained back some inches. That's why when were working out, and lets say your 140, you actually look 130. Its true. So at 136.5, I look 136.5. At least I think I do. :-( But I'm not worried about it at all anymore! I've been working out everyday for 2 weeks, and feeling stronger than ever!! Here are my stats: Thigh: 19 (Up ½ inch) Waist: 28 (Up 1/4 of an inch) Hips: 33½ (Up ½ inch) Arm: 10 ½ (No change) Bust: 36 ½ (Up ½ Inch) Upper Thigh: 21 ½ (No Change) Well, that's it! I guess it is true about where we tend to put weight on first and the fastest is where I really added some inches. My waist and hips! Those seem to be my real problem area. My waist at its thinnest was 27 ¾! Here is to another new beginning! My year mark is coming up on October 15th! I will be at goal by that time! :-) Oh, and my goal is 127-130. No more, no less. C~ya all soon!! :-) **

• ** 12/29/00 IM BACK! lol Did you miss me!? As I sit here and look over my websites I have tears in my eyes. Looking at what I was. How strong I was. How strong I AM. Im still here. Gained yes, but not too bad. If I did'nt catch it --- It could have really gotten worse. So here I sit, 146 today. No higher, no lower. A new beginning. A new day. We moved into a new (to me) bigger home, I started work & quit work, lol, I started college, and things are finally calming down. Im taking my own advice to start small and go long. :-) Here we go again! And I cant wait for the challenge. Gosh Im up for anything!!! **

• ** 1/5/01 Today is Friday, weigh in day! So I decided to measure as well. Gosh my bottom got big! lol Oh well, Im on it! Today I am 141. Down 5 in 8 days. Slowly but surley I will get there! Thanks for sticking with me all this time! I love you all for that! **

~ A life Completely Turned Around ~

• Im not too sure why Im adding this to my web site. I have made so many changes in my life that it is so wonderful to sit here and type. :-) It has been a really tough challenge for me to lose this much weight. And Im sure it will always continue to be a tough challenge. But I am ready for it. It has made me who I am now. I knew one day I would be able to do this! It has been 7 months since I started my weight loss journey. SEVEN! WOW! When I get to one year, I will be so happy with my commitment to myself. I am now the person that I have always wanted to be. No, lifes little mishaps do not go away. But the self confidence that I have is so much better now. I can walk through the store and not feel like everyone is staring at me. And if they are staring, it is only cus they are looking at the new me now! So I dont mind anymore! I get a lot of attitude from women of all ages. They are not so open to me or friendly anymore. Thats a bummer. Because I try to be the same caring person I was back then. Life is good. Life couldnt get any better. Im almost there, gang! ALMOST!
