Dad with three copies of Nancy Kennedy's new book about stories on weight loss!

I am in a book!  🙂  No, I have not published a textbook or book by myself (yet… :D), but I am one of the stories highlighted in Nancy Kennedy’s book on weight loss. I had the wonderful opportunity to talk with Nancy Kennedy about my experience losing weight on Jenny Craig after I finished my collegiate eligibility at USC in 2006 for her new released book “How We Did It.”  She wrote a very nice blog post about my experience losing weight and my transition from being an athlete eating steak and ice cream to being more focused on portion control and vegetables. Mom, Dad, and Kristin are all on Jenny Craig – and it has been a great experience for all of us. We are the family that does Jenny Craig together! 🙂

Five years later – I am still on Jenny Craig and I am very thankful for losing my “throwing weight” as I used to call it. 🙂  I am able to exercise and do activities I was not able to do previously as someone weighing in at 285 lbs.  Now, I am able to take cycling classes (a couple of them are two hours long!) while feeling health and energetic unlike anything I have felt before. It was really wonderful to be able to share my experience with Nancy and I am excited to have the opportunity to read the other stories on how people have lost weight.  Congratulations, Nancy!  Thank you for allowing me to share my weight loss story with you! 🙂

Hope you all are having a great day!

Best Wishes,

Karen
