Hi my name is Jenn. I'm a single mom of two wonderful kids. One is in college and the other is a sophomore in highschool. I have been overweight all my life. My goal is to get my weight down to 140 lbs. To be honest I have not seen that weight since I was in elementary school. I only hope that I can reach it.

I am an emotional eater who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder around the age of 10, so it has been an uphill battle that I have repeatedly lost for the past 30 years. I was also diagnosed with type II diabetes at age 18, and to this day I still have a hard time controlling it completely.

This year I'm making myself a promise, again...after having the 3rd surgery on my knee in 9 years because of my weight and severe sciatica caused by lumbar spinal stenosis I HAVE to lose this weight. Not only for me, but for my kids. I want to be around for them for many years to come, and I also want to be able to see my grandkids when my children get married and start families of their own.

Wish me luck!
