Re: now thats what i call transformation

[QUOTE=Brook]Oh I'm not debating that at all, sadie. Guess you could say I"m more than a little skeptical of such claims these days- especially after this whole Kimmer fiasco. Unfortunately, all that proved is that it doesn't necessarily matter if you're on TV or in a magazine. Ugh.

If that's her (and from the befores/afters it certainly *does* look like it is!) The surgery doesn't negate the work, no two ways about it![/Q]
exactly my point
as grovemonkey pointed out,she does pump iron big time and i guess thats why she doesnt have lose skin around her shoulders,and as u must have noticed she is very muscular around her biceps,so may all the fat was replaced by muscels maybe.

Re: now thats what i call transformation

Hi,

chuckles, that was one of my first questions also, where is all the skin. i emailed her asking if she would post pictures of her in between, she has quite a few befores and afters not none in between? That's a lot of in between 180 lbs worth, and no pics? But then again, i HATE pics lol soo.

Her whole site seems to be a big advertisement, so i also am skeptical though i give her kudos for her efforts if she did it anyone deserves it simply for putting the effort in to be a personal trainer. In her blog i saw where she says she went on a low fat/cal diet, i did not see maybe i missed it in my skimming when she stated she was low carber. But hey,

Kudos for being as fit as she is

Re: now thats what i call transformation

Hi everyone it's Jen from Fit by Jen,

First I would like to say THANK YOU to Sadie for all of her comments and telling you guys about me, also thank you to everyone who visited my site and made comments. Sorry if this is a lengthy posting, but I want to answer and address everyone’s comments/questions.


First question/comment...Am I for "REAL"?? Let me just start by saying some of you are not the only skeptics I have had. The answer is 100% YES!! I have spent the last 3 years of my life (1/2 year maintaining and 2 & 1/2 years working VERY hard) to overcome my addiction to food!! I am used to the skeptics, but it still hurts when people DON’T believe, because it was a very hard fight and that's why it took so long, because I did go through my up's and downs and my melt downs and wanting to give up, but I DID NOT GIVE UP!! Partly because of my family, that's another reason I get upset because I put them through 2 1/2 years of my ups and downs and they were with me every step of the way, so when people DON’T believe I think of them not believing in my family.



Next question...Where did all the skin go???? I have always admitted I did have a lower tummy tuck, but that is all I had. The gentleman on this site that posted hit the nail on the head!!! I lost the weight very slowly and I worked out almost everyday toning, swimming and lifting weights, which helped with my skin, it also was a combination of my age and elasticity in my skin. Don't get me wrong I still have a few flabby areas, like my legs, I would love to have taken off, but over all I am happy with the out come. This may sound crazy, but I also used lotion and preparation H and rubbed it on my arms and legs, now whether that had any thing to do with it??? I don't know?? I didn't do it for a long time.



Next Comment...Why don't I have more "In-between" pictures??? First I did send the lady that made that comment a few pics I had that I will put on my site soon. Come on!!! Did you see me? I looked like a rollie pollie!! Honestly who would want their picture taken looking like that!! I ran from the camera all the time. I was not proud of how I looked, even as I was losing weight, I was morbidly obese!! It took a while for me to get to a size I was comfortable being at. I did this on my own, so there was no reason for me to take pics through out, I was not a part of a weight loss group where I reported in every week for progress. Looking back I wish I would have taken more pictures, but I did not start this journey worrying about pictures, I was worried about my health!!



Next Comment. I did not even go on A low carb Diet!!! Not tobegin with. First I just went on your typical diet. Low Calorie Low Fat, Lifestyle change!! Then when I hit a plateau and hired a trainer for 4 weeks and he showed me the LOW CARB option and I started deleting a lot of my bad carbs and learned the difference between good and bad carbs and lost the rest of my weight by watching my sugar and increasing my protein.



Last comment...MY WEB-Site Seemed like an Advertisement for my training... This was a first time hearing that one!! and it really hurt the most, because first of all my husband spent a lot of time putting this site together for me. Second the ONLY reason I wanted a web-site is to HELP OTHERS like me who thought they were too far gone to ever get down to there goal weight. I wanted to let them know THEY CAN DO IT!! No where on my site is it pushing people to train with me!! Yes that is what I do for a living and I would be a bad business woman if I did not promote what I do, but I only have 1 page about my training. I have NOT seen a dime from any of this exposure nor do I care if I do. My goal is to help people!! I have e-mailed numerous people all over the world and have given them any advice they asked for and NEVER did I ask for them to even Train with me!! My Goal is to reach as many people as I can to make a difference in their life the way everyone who supported me made a difference in my life. It is called KARMA!! And I truly believe in that!!



Sorry this was so long, but I hope I have answered everyone’s questions and cleared up some things. Everyone is doing a GREAT JOB and I truly wish everyone the best of luck and if you have and questions or just want to chat just e-mail me and I will help in any way I can. HAVE A GREAT DAY!! TAKE CARE!!!

Re: now thats what i call transformation

Jen, since most of your answers seem directed towards my post, i find it interesting that you sign up for this bulletin board simply to run to this thread and jump up and down, as you have. First of all, yes you did send me 3 pics of what you say are your inbetween, which is fine, my posts about your site was not derogatory it was and still is simple skeptisim, not because i don't hope you are for real but because in the end, its hard when you are the size for example I am to look at your website and believe it can happen. As someone who use to be like many of us i am sure you understand such skeptisim. Its not so much about YOU, its about the belief many times it can happen.

Seeing i am getting ready for work this morning and was not on this site last night i had not been able to update that you did in fact send me pic and i was going to email you today to ask you for permission to post them here.

Third, as i said, maybe i am missing it so please point it out to me if i have your site doesn't say anything about low carb, you speak of low fat low cal and then getting a trainer. But then again i was skimming and admitted IN my post i could have missed it but honestly, the only aspect i saw was low fat and low cal which is fine it does work for people but it wouldn't be motivation for someone like me who only gains weight doing low fat low cal.

Finally, I am sorry if your feelings are hurt but my first impression of your site seems to be a advertisement for your physical training. Laughs you can turn it around and recognize how many people get disappointed and feelings hurt but bogus websites too stating the same thing you have.

Most of what you seem to speak about is in turn of being a trainer... I believe all of your now pics are you working out, or as part of your group. Which is what you do if i understand you correctly, most of what i read wasn't about your weight loss but was about how you learned to become a personal tainer, which is fine, but to me there are 2920139201910 before and after pics on this very site that show me the inspiration your site does without what seems to me to be an advertisement for what you do. These people also share their stories that are more indepth and the inspiration are in the pics sure but they are also in the stories behind the success. So no matter how many !!!!!! or capped words you use to emphasis, and you use after your statements, if you can't accept what someone sees in your site then i am sorry, i am entitled to my opinions just as others who enjoyed your site are. Actually until you posted this post, i was actually more inclined to take another look, but now i am not.

I am sorry if you don't want o give the impression that is what your site is but it is MY IMPRESSION, and well, i have no bias against you i don't even know you, so take this as a critic from someone who has no reason to do anything but give her actual impression of what she saw.

I still am flabbergasted that you would sign up for a website just to come on and defend yourself, to me that just is too much and too defensive.

Not everyone has to be inspired and in awe of you, i am not, i am sorry. I am skeptical simply because there are many people who have websites like yours who claim what you have, if it works for you and others great, i give you kudos, but your desperation aspect of this post to me has hurt you more than helped you in my eyes, but that's just me, there are many who enjoy your site. My advise is if you are real than a few people raising an eyebrow and being skeptical shouldn't bother you and make you this defensive.

Be proud people are skeptical because by their skeptisim they are telling you that youhave actually achieved what they believe is either impossible or so hard only a select few people can do so in this world.

In the end, i hope i can have people skeptical of me when i reah my goal, i want them to be in disbelief and i want them to say no way really?

I applaud you and your efforts having walked the same path. It's not easy. I'm sorry any skepticism- mine included- has caused you hurt. It's something else I understand as well having been met with it as well in my own journey. Unfortunately, I have to say that in today's age with the scams and whatnot that run rampant, skepticism is healthy and while it's hurtful sometimes, it's also necessary. I'm glad you stopped by because in doing so you help to remove doubt- and it's exactly what I have done when questioned myself. When I'm right, I plant my feet - so good for you

Next question...Where did all the skin go???? I have always admitted I did have a lower tummy tuck, but that is all I had. The gentleman on this site that posted hit the nail on the head!!! I lost the weight very slowly and I worked out almost everyday toning, swimming and lifting weights, which helped with my skin, it also was a combination of my age and elasticity in my skin.

This may sound crazy, but I also used lotion and preparation H and rubbed it on my arms and legs, now whether that had any thing to do with it??? I don't know?? I didn't do it for a long time.

As someone who lost slowly, worked out 5-6 days a week, you were blessed genetically and I envy that!! Many of us are not that lucky.

Next Comment...Why don't I have more "In-between" pictures??? First I did send the lady that made that comment a few pics I had that I will put on my site soon. Come on!!! Did you see me? I looked like a rollie pollie!! Honestly who would want

their picture taken looking like that!! I ran from the camera all the time. I was not proud of how I looked, even as I was losing weight, I was morbidly obese!! It took a while for me to get to a size I was comfortable being at. I did this on my own, so there was no reason for me to take pics through out, I was not a part of a weight loss group where I reported in every week for progress. Looking back I wish I would have taken more pictures, but I did not start this journey worrying about pictures, I was worried about my health!!

This is where the skepticism starts coming in, Jen. Who would want pictures of themselves removing the weight they're working their butt off for? - Lots of us and not because we're part of a weight loss support group. Just as you found some of the previous comments hurtful, I find this one hurtful. I too looked like a "rollie pollie" as you called it and I was still proud as could be of my progress and success. I don't think that's uncommon. I think continuing to avoid the camera like the plague while your self esteem is increasing and you're looking better is the exception.

Next Comment. I did not even go on A low carb Diet!!! Not tobegin with. First I just went on your typical diet. Low Calorie Low Fat, Lifestyle change!! Then when I hit a plateau and hired a trainer for 4 weeks and he showed me the LOW CARB option and I started deleting a lot of my bad carbs and learned the difference between good and bad carbs and lost the rest of my weight by watching my sugar and increasing my protein.

Fair enough Personally- I don't care what way of eating you followed. I think it's fantastic you did it. Period.

Last comment...MY WEB-Site Seemed like an Advertisement for my training... This was a first time hearing that one!! and it really hurt the most, because first of all my husband spent a lot of time putting this site together for me.

It's the same reason I created my Melting Page. I can respect that.

Please don't allow skepticism to hurt you or take it personally. Just keep doing exactly what you did here. When there are questions- answer them the best way you know how. In the aftermath of scam artists like Kimmer- you're bound to run into more of it for awhile than usual.

Keep on keepin' on.

Re: now thats what i call transformation

My advise is if you are real than a few people raising an eyebrow and being skeptical shouldn't bother you and make you this defensive.

I just wanna call here, jrnyback - and here's why. Until you've put the time in to literally work your off, put yourself out there to support and encourage people and let them into one of your biggest life's struggles, opened up your personal life to some degree to do so, and THEN get hit with criticism/skepticism/nasty/snide/rude/hurtful (not saying yours were, but it happens quite often), Please don't tell us what should and shouldn't matter and how we should feel about it.

It is hurtful and it does cause the need and desire to stand up and say ..."Hey! Bite me. I worked my off and I *deserve* the credit for doing so."

I've felt the need on several sites over the last 4 years to do the same thing Jen did here - and I just wanted to point that out. It doesn't make me and my story less real, and it doesn't make me a duck either. When it comes to something you're this passionate about- being a duck sucks.

[jrnyback2life]

Re: now thats what i call transformation

laughs Brook, you were utterly skeptical of this woman, and what now that she came on and posted on a message board you aren't? Sorry Brook but i may need the boots here.

I am not saying she shouldn't explain herself, i am saying she seems awfully defensive. I am sorry but someone shouldn't need the approval that desperately of people who don't know her, don't know her life etc. This is an anonymous message board, her site is on the internet, if she can't handle a little skeptisim and NEEDS a pat on the back from people who don't know her, to me that is a little too needy.

You can feel you deserve credit all you like, and you get credit, but you yourself are the pot calling the kettle black here as you were probably more skeptical of her than i was, and suddenly you aren't because she signed up and posted on this website? Come on Brook, you speak of BS, i am wearing my boots for you.

I understand defensive, and perhaps i could have worded that ONE sentence better lol, but i think you do understand my point. What i don't understand is running out to sign up for a website and post a defensive post to what 3 people i think it was who were skeptical? That is what makes no sense to me, to me that is protesting to much. Its my opinion and as you are entitled to yours, i am entitled to mine. Sorry i didn't realize on this site you were the only person allowed to post as you have and others can't unless you approve it.

Maybe its because i don't understand the internet much, but having to justify myself to anonymous opinions of people who many times are nicknames that i don't know and never will know a majority, just seems like a little too much effort.

So call it bullshit all you want Brook, i think you understand very well what my post said, as you were one of the first to jump in skeptical and continuing skeptism and suddenly what its not okay for others to be honest? Sorry, i am not buying it. If your skeptism has vanished suddenly, good for you, mine has to a point. I still see her site as an advertisement, sorry i do.

Whether she is real or not is none of my business now as i don't plan to use her for inspiration, others need to form their own opinions, in searching through this site i have found people who are an inspriation for me... I doubt Jen needs me to give her credit, she doesn't know me, i think she deserves kudos and said so before. But the need for me to change my mind makes no sense.

And while i haven't done the impossible with regard to my weight loss, i HAVE done it in my life, honesly i never feel the need to post it online or stamp my foot stating i deserve credit for doing so, i know what i have done, people who know me know it, if you are posting your journey to obtain credit that you feel you deserve, on some level i am not understanding that. I do open my life to many people with regards to this, but i don't do it for credit, i do it because what i did helps people and some people utilize it and others do not. But i don't do it for validation of these people who i am attempting to touch with my own life struggle.

Edited to add, and since i am fairly new to this site and am here for other reasons than debating a website that has nothing to do with this site, i won't post anymore to this thread as i do recognize people should be allowed to enjoy what they enjoy without negativity.

I apologize to any whose enjoyment was altered of Jen's site... it was not my intent.

[ValidRouge]

Re: now thats what i call transformation

I wasn't going to comment here...BUT...

Jen, I think you look fantastic and have obviously put a lot of effort into it! You deserve the kudos. I wasn't skeptical, I 100% think your pictures look like someone who has worked HARD for weight loss. I also know how it is to become EVANGELISTIC about telling others how we've found the answer. So, I "get" your site. Frankly, I don't think you are so different than most people who are successful at weight loss and exercise. Many of them try to incorporate their maintenance into their lifestyle. For most, that means they become personal trainers, or fitness instructors or whatnot. I, myself, am looking into it. Not because I'm trying (and I don't feel you are either) to make money off my success, but as a higher level of COMMITMENT to myself. A way to keep myself committed to my own goals (maintenance) and if it helps others....then HOORAH! One of the things about THIS site is the fact that helping others meet their goals, helps me meet mine. I feel that way about the personal training. There are quite a few ON THIS VERY SITE who have already become fitness instructors and are taking coursework for personal training.

Jrny, I can understand being a tad bit skeptical...but the outright hostility is disturbing to say the least.

[Brook]

Re: now thats what i call transformation



May want to grab some This is gonna take a minute.

I am not saying she shouldn't explain herself, i am saying she seems awfully defensive. I am sorry but someone shouldn't need the approval that desperately of people who don't know her, don't know her life etc. This is an anonymous message board, her site is on the internet, if she can't handle a little skeptisim and NEEDS a pat on the back from people who don't know her, to me that is a little too needy.

I don't see anywhere where she looks defensive. What I see is her popping in here to answer questions. So what would you prefer she do so she doesn't looking too needy to you? Leave your questions unanswered so she can be blasted for dodging them? It's a no-win situation and you attacking her character, name-calling, because of it is more than a little crappy.

You can feel you deserve credit all you like, and you get credit, but you yourself are the pot calling the kettle black here as you were probably more skeptical of her than i was, and suddenly you aren't because she signed up and posted on this website? Come on Brook, you speak of BS, i am wearing my boots for you.

I'm not sure where you get off telling me what I think and how I feel about anything, jrny, let alone thinking it's okay to attack me for anything, but honestly lady- get yourself in check. You're showing your to me for no apparent reason whatsoever and the view really isn't pretty from here. Really, take your boots off and don't do me any favors. I don't need them.

I understand defensive, and perhaps i could have worded that ONE sentence better lol, but i think you do understand my point. What i don't understand is running out to sign up for a website and post a defensive post to what 3 people i think it was who were skeptical? That is what makes no sense to me, to me that is protesting to much. Its my opinion and as you are entitled to yours, i am entitled to mine. Sorry i didn't realize on this site you were the only person allowed to post as you have and others can't unless you approve it.

Like I said, jrny - walk a mile in someone else's shoes. It's like a skinny person telling a fat person they "understand how they feel". It's utter and short sighted. And again with the attacks. Really- you negate your points when you get personal. There's no need for it and it's simply rude. When you put an opinion out there on the boards- if you don't want responses on it, maybe you should start posting a disclaimer with them. "Warning: My opinion is not subject to responses or disagreement or I'm going to post personal insults in response." That way next time we'll know. K?

There was a *piece* - one sentence- I called on. It wasn't the whole thing and it wasn't a personal attack. Learn the difference and we'll all be able to play nice.

Maybe its because i don't understand the internet much, but having to justify myself to anonymous opinions of people who many times are nicknames that i don't know and never will know a majority, just seems like a little too much effort.

I'm glad you feel like you can rise above all that, jrny- but until it happens to you, you're talking out of your . It may not be a nice statement, but that doesn't make it less true.

So call it bullshit all you want Brook, i think you understand very well what my post said, as you were one of the first to jump in skeptical and continuing skeptism and suddenly what its not okay for others to be honest? Sorry, i am not buying it. If your skeptism has vanished suddenly, good for you, mine has to a point. I still see her site as an advertisement, sorry i do.

1. No where did I say I wasn't or don't continue to be skeptical, so again, don't bother telling me what I think or how I feel about something. I'll tell you, M'kay?

2. No where did anyone say it wasn't okay to be honest. I called BS on a *portion* of your statement and it warranted personal attacks and a .

3. I don't much care if you think Jen's site is an advertisement or not. Doesn't make a bit of difference to me.

Whether she is real or not is none of my business now as i don't plan to use her for inspiration, others need to form their own opinions, in searching through this site i have found people who are an inspriation for me... I doubt Jen needs me to give her credit, she doesn't know me, i think she deserves kudos and said so before. But the need for me to change my mind makes no sense.

If it's none of your business, then why did you bother to invest your time and ask questions that had her sending you pictures? = Pardon me. It's my turn to put on the boots.

And while i haven't done the impossible with regard to my weight loss, i HAVE done it in my life, honesly i never feel the need to post it online or stamp my foot stating i deserve credit for doing so, i know what i have done, people who know me know it, if you are posting your journey to obtain credit that you feel you deserve, on some level i am not understanding that.

Once again you're missing the forrest for the trees. It's not about getting credit and if that's as far as you're willing to look into it, that's on you. Credit was the last thing I wanted or looked for. Personally, I took the pictures and documented my journey *for me*. I put it out there because I was asked to and because it didn't take long to learn that sharing my own journey helped others, so I did. When people were mean spirited enough to throw rocks because I did it, it pissed me off and it hurt. Again, you're talking about something you know nothing about because you haven't done it. Walk a mile in the "Been there, done that" shoes.

While I don't understand your need to spew venom - no one said you weren't entitled to your opinion and you couldn't express it and no one attacked you personally- I do understand skepticism and find it healthy. You posted a statement I find to be and it happens to be something Jen and I see eye to eye on. That's some sort of crime??



Try to have a nice day, jrny. Here's some of my :sunshine: to try to help.

[jrnyback2life]

Re: now thats what i call transformation

Sorry if you think i am being hostile i am not, to me, since MOST of Jen's post was to my post i replied, Brook came on and basically said it was bullshit and i replied. I have no feelings one way or another but i don't sit back quietly when someone jumps up and calls my post bullshit because she doesn't like something i said. It seems to me contradictory that I am suddenly being hostile but yet Brook can jump up and down calling things Bullshit. Maybe you all are use to it, but i tend to be a lot like Brook, so perhaps you all will get use to my way also.

If Brook doesn't want people replying like i did it may help if she didn't attack someone's post she doesn't agree with by calling it bullshit. Sorry the little smiley doesn't take away from the meaning.

I am not being hostile, i didn't like HOW brook posted to me and i responded in kind. I presume if she couldn't take it she wouldn't try and dish it out.

And Brook since your whole second post to me was pretty much the same tone as the first, i skipped it, i am not going to get in a pissing match with you and listen to you spewing your way of attitude, just as it seems you don't want mine. If you want to DISCUSS it, instead of trying to be big bad Brook, i am all for it, but i am not going to get in a pissing match with you because you think you have the right to talk to people like you have to me. If that is what this site is about then i don't need your kind of BS. If you think you have a right to speak to people as you have, believe me, you will get th same FROM me because if you can dish it out then be able to take it.

If you want to discuss what you don't agree with fine, calling things bullshit because you don't agree with it, won't find me patting you on the head or cowering from you, i will become as big of a witch as you are.

If you post TO me, i will respond, i will not walk away leaving people implying things like i am being hostile without responding to clarify.

Re: now thats what i call transformation

Sadie your thread has been horribly hijacked, and for that I will own my part and apologize.

Like Joy posted, Jen's story is fantastic. I'm really glad it inspired you and am always inspired by people who dig in and do what needs doing to get it all done. I apologize to you for my skepticism turning this thread into a circus. While there are things I remain skeptical about, I have to give props where props are due.

Re: now thats what i call transformation

This is why I leave bulletin boards. Someone has achieved an amazing thing in their life and someone else has to tear it down. Really sad. I hope I can be as successful as Jen and many others here have been, but it won't be by getting support from people on a bulletin board. I am going to go at it on my own. It is too discouraging to come and read this stuff. I want my focus to be strong. Life is just too short to spend it debating! Best wishes to all. And Jen... fantastic! You like many others, knew what you wanted and you went after it. We aren't all cookie cutter people and our bodies respond differently.

[jrnyback2life]

Re: now thats what i call transformation

Greetings,

I apologize to the thread and to those who felt i was being hostile. I honestly was not, i was simply stating an opinion because i have seen many people lose their whole momentum by coming across an aspect that turns out in the end to be a fraud. Then, In focusing on someone calling something i said BS, I did focus on the BS word and yeah i didn't appreciate the disrespect of such a way of addressing my words, but all in all its not worth the effort to put any more energy towards it.

I do and have said i give jen major kudos even in my first post to her. Heck i give all physically fit people kudos whether its from a massive weightloss or continuous hard work to maintain what they have always been. I don't understand much about online, but i do hope Jen finds herself having the strength to enjoy the skepticsim people offer simply for the fact that it tells her she has obtained what they see as impossible or unachievable. To me my skeptisicm is partly an awe concept and that is what i was trying to convey.

Therefore, i offer my apologies to the tangenting in such a negative manner off the topic. Again, to continue is not worth the effort nor is it healthy for the boards. People find their motivation and inspiration for their struggles in different things, if its not mine i should simply have refrained from commenting in a negative manner of skeptiscm and opinions. So i apologize.

[Fit By Jen]

Re: now thats what i call transformation

Hi Guys

First I want to say thank you to everyone for your comments and beliefs.



I am soo sorry for all of this!!! This is not what I am about; I was merely answering questions that were not only asked by you guys, but others as well. That is what I do, I am a very honest person and if anyone has question I answer them. I was not being defensive I was clearing up comments and questions!!

jrnyback2life - I know I have skeptics and I have already dealt with them, but you were throwing personal jabs so I felt like I had to protect myself and my professional and personal reputation!!! Please let's take the focus off this topic and back to everyone’s weight loss journey. That is what is important!! GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!
