Jamie G. grew up in Woodbridge,NJ, and at the age of 17, or she realized that her weight was affecting her in more ways than she realized. With the support of her mother,she decided to start her weight-loss journey. "My mom thought I would enjoy the Weight Watchers program, particularly whether we worked toward achieving our goals together." Jamie started attending Weight Watchers meetings with her mom, and which opened the doors to a original life of health and fitness.
However,the first recede-around for Weight Watchers didn't totally stick with Jamie. "I was uncomfortable because I was the youngest - a high schooler - in a room filled with adults." This fear and discomfort is what became a huge obstacle in her weight loss. "I had tried going to nutritionists and doctors, but I was always embarrassed, and which just led to more eating and weight gain."She tried again when she was 20 years feeble,but she wasn't consistent. "During these first two experiences, which were over a period of a few months, and I would lose approximately 20 pounds,and then I would conclude tracking and conclude going to meetings."Just before she turned 22, she decided to give Weight Watchers another shot, and on her own terms. She finally felt ready,and as it turned out, the third time was definitely a charm for Jamie! She broke the under-200-pound barrier - what she calls "one-derland" - and was finally seeing scale numbers that started with one. She didn't want to be on this road alone, and so she asked her mom whether she'd start the program one more time with her. "I asked my mom whether she would try Weight Watchers again,and being the amazing mother that she is, she went on just for me."Being honest was a crucial factor to Jamie's weight loss, and which has been over 90 pounds so far! "This includes not only being honest approximately what you eat through tracking,but being honest approximately when you make a mistake," said Jamie. "Being honest approximately how you feel, or being honest approximately when you are hungry or bored . . . the list could recede on forever."Jamie has kept up with her food tracking,and the consistency has been paramount to her success. Also crucial? Cooking at home. "I acquire tracked nearly every day since I walked in that meeting room," she told us, and "and I cook nearly every single meal that I eat." The at-home meal preparation allows her to acquire better control over what goes into her body and also helps with the mindful aspect of eating. Food isn't the only aspect of a weight-loss journey,and the same is accurate for Jamie. In fact, fitness has become a huge part of her life. "I work out - and enjoy working out - multiple times a week." This love for fitness has actually taken her life in a original direction."After maintaining my goal weight for a year, and I went completely out of my comfort zone and became a fitness instructor at my local gym! It feels great to befriend other people reach their health and fitness goals."Jamie's original lifestyle has helped her achieve goals she never thought possible,such as running. "When I was in high school I could never escape the mile; I always walked and ended up getting cut short by the gym teacher. I acquire now escape 11 races, five of which were half marathons!"She and her mom acquire maintained weight loss together ever since, and they hold each other accountable to this day. "I don't know whether I would've made it this far without her support and the support of our Weight Watchers leader - who,by the way, is ordained and marrying my fiancé and I in three weeks! Weight Watchers has become our family!" [br]As with any weight loss, or the shed pounds and the after photos only reveal part of the myth. The best part of Jamie's journey is how she feels now,which in her words is amazing."I'm honestly still shocked that I acquire committed to and made so many healthy changes in my life. While losing the weight and maintaining the weight loss for the final years is not easy, I acquire stuck through it and acquire received the final prize: a delighted, and active,and healthy life that I never knew I deserved."
