When I started this crazy paleo journey, I was feeling terrible, was in a size 12 jean and was just flat miserable with my body.
Now, just over 2 months later, I fit in a size 4 jean. That is 5 inches off my waist... let me repeat:
5 INCHES.
In 10 WEEKS.
Now understand this... I am a 38 year old female that has had a baby. I was certain I would never see a 4 again. EVER.
But it happened today.
Gobsmacked.
Congrats gurl!! You are such a badass :)

ReplyDeleteFlippin' sweet! Way to go, Jen! Keep up the good work. I'm now a size 34 waist for my pants, after wearing a 40 for many, many years. Feels good, huh?
ReplyDeleteTen thumbs up, a hug, and a hi-5 right atcha girl! Proud of you!
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone! I am so pleased with the results. More importantly, however, many of my health issues are either gone or greatly reduced. I feel so much better!
ReplyDeleteJen,
ReplyDeleteGlad you posted this because you are not only happier with your body and health, you achieved your results by choosing a healthy lifestyle change which is an excellent example to others trying to lose weight.
Your results are dramatic (maybe more so than most folks) but your commitment to eating properly will keep benefiting you long after you've gotten back to a size four. As you mentioned above, your OTHER health problems are gone due to both weight loss and healthy eating.
Quick results are nice. Longterm health? Golden.
Congrats!
Greg,
ReplyDeleteThat is EXACTLY it. I did not expect this rapid of a change in my body's shape. I started doing this to be healthier and to head off some precursors to disease that were showing up in my blood-work.
My thyroid issues are all but GONE. I was showing some insulin resistance as well, which is a sign of potentially becoming diabetic, and I was beginning to see some digestive issues creeping up on me as well.
Many of these things are now completely eliminated and I couldn't be happier! The weight loss is a WONDERFUL and somewhat unexpected side-effect.
I know now that I have complete control over the "diseases of aging". These are a myth & I intend to be FABULOUS at 90 or beyond!
My next goal? Tobacco. I gotta defeat the beast.
Luv ya!
Jen
