  • Why Outback Jess Inspires Me

    1. She hit goal. And celebrated each step of the way.

    2. She learned to love, love, love working out.

    3. She has set high workout goals (triathalon, anyone?) and met them.

    4. She motivates all of us with her pep talks.

    5. She's a great leader over here at STAC

    6. She's there for anyone who asks for help - in spades.

    7. She doesn't focus on weight. She focuses on longevity ("I want to be here next year") and clothing size (those size 6 jeans!) and how she FEELS.

    8. She's harnessed her spirituality into her fitness lifestyle.

    9. When she posts something inspirational or motivational ("Deep thoughts, by Jess") it INVARIABLY applies to something I'm going through right that very moment.

    10. She never pretends it's easy.

    Feel free to add your own. Let's lift her up!

    all of the above, plus she didn't cave in last night...


    She's also humble... she is truthful about where she's at in her journey... honest about her struggles.

      WOW - what a great thought Evermind... we all need to know how much we are loved and appreciated, especially during our low moments in life and Outback deserves this as she has been such an inspiration to all of us.

      My two cents:

      Even while she is fighting her own demons - she is always there to answer questions, lend an ear (or eye in the case); give moral support and encouragement to those of us that need it & as you said gives deep insight into her journey that helps each of us in ours. To admit that you still struggle shows such an incredible amount of strenght in character.

                Jess is a GENUINE person. She means what she says and says what she means, and I love that about her. She knows what people need.

                    OMG, where was I???? Thanks everybody so much for this....makes me want to go and see what in the world I've said that has an impact! But right now it's not what I've said, it's what you have said...Thanks for the LIFT! It has lifted me.
                    I'm up early this Easter morning. Gotta a kids church day on my hands!
                    Day 7 is here. I over ate yesterday, but have not gone back to things that make my body ache and the fat is slowly leaving the tummy, recreating the sagging skin! I just pull it along with me!
