Hello; I'm Jen

JennyVirginia

Hello everyone. My name is Jen and I'm really excited to have found this site. After my second child was born I gained 50lbs in like 4 months for no apparent reason. I got my thyroid tested and found it was sluggish so the doctor treated me as he saw fit with no apparent results. I saw a nutritionist with no results either. I was very frustrated and depressed.
One day when I was browsing Borders Jillian Michael's book Master Your Metabolism caught my eye. I read it from top to bottom and it sounded like my life. I immediately made an appointment with an endocrinologist and found out all my hormone levels were extremely abnormal. So I adapted our family's life style to her plan - went organic, exercise more efficiently, cut out plastic use a lot; got rid of all cleaning products & now use vinegar & baking soda & the list goes on.
That was 2 weeks ago and I stepped on the scale yesterday and to my surprise have lost 6 lbs. I have tried religiously for 6 months to loose weight and the scale never budged. I wanted to do cartwheels and just run around screaming - lol.
So Good Luck to you all - I look forward to reeping the benefits of this site!!
