I have known Jen through her finance career and forte into her passion. Even prior to making nutrition and fitness her career, she has had a knack for motivating people (including myself) into the proper nutritional choices and fitness routines. She has a great perspective on life and the reality of how to make fitness and nutrition part of your life not “something you have to do”. Anyone who is committed to doing crunches before bed (no matter how late or what her night entailed) is someone who knows how to make it work!

I have been training with Jen for about 2 plus years and can attest to her great coaching skills, practical approach and emotional support. I am a working mom with two young kids and finding a consistent workout regime is always a challenge. Love her suggestions. What a great website, I look forward to reading more!

Great words, Jen. I have been able to stave off the holiday bulge this year for the first time ever. It was the consistency of moderation and exercise that kept me on track to be sure. Although I have lost some more weight, it has been unintentional….darn tummy bugs. Thanks and I may look to you for keeping up my 1/2 marathon training mojo!

Great post. I’ve been doing WW for seems like my entire life, but I do it faithfully every week. I took two months off during the holidays and gained 9 pounds. But after the new year, I went back to writing it all down and emailing my leader to get myself back on track and back to goal, and within 2 weeks I lost it all.
I also bought myself an elliptical, because I just can’t get out the door to a gym, and don’t have the time during the day, my time comes at 8pm at night, or between 5-6 before dinner with my kids running around. Anyways I’ve started the training on it and its taking a little getting used to, but its smack in the middle of my office, so I can’t sit here writing this without the thing staring right at me.
Do you have any suggestions on how to start an elliptical program. I’ve been trying to do 20 mins a day, getting off 3 times cause I’m really out of shape. Is this the right approach? Should I be doing something different?
Thanks
