Jenny’s Story: 212 Pounds Lost and Feeling Better Than Ever
Jenny, wife, mom of three and private school librarian, reached 369 pounds nearly 3 years ago. She took on a self-motivated weight loss challenge and lost an incredible 212 pounds and continues to live a healthy lifestyle.

Results:
Lost 212 pounds in 32 months
Feels and looks better at 40 than when she was 25 years old
What was her inspiration to lose weight?
Her biggest inspiration was her children. At 369 pounds, she had three small children under the age of three and could not properly take care of them. Her weight was interfering with her daily life. After starting her fitness journey, she is her biggest inspiration and knows that she can do anything.
How did she get the weight off?
Group fitness! She started doing Step Aerobics using no step and it took her three months to feel comfortable using the step on the lowest riser. Currently, she goes to cycling classes six days a week in the summer and during the school year, runs on the treadmill or elliptical four days a week and cycles the other three days.
How did she transition to eating healthy?
After 6 months of going to the gym, she joined Weight Watchers and gave her nutritional diet a makeover. She has cut out processed foods, refined sugars and bleached flours.
Her results are so incredible, Weight Watchers is flying her — first class — to Hollywood to star in a TV commercial with Jennifer Hudson.
What other health benefits has she seen from losing weight?
She says she is a better wife and mother (her husband supports this too!) and no longer has high cholesterol or is pre-diabetic.
Her children are excited about exercise and the entire family routinely takes family bike rides.
Jenny is staying steady at her goal weight and continues her fitness journey by working out at LFF Lutz. She’s also become an avid runner and plans to participate in races every month until March 2012.

Adrienne, be very proud of all you have done. I do have extra skin but I don’t let it get me down. I look at it as a battle scar. It reminds me of how far I’ve come.
