Hi I'm Jena! I'm a 23 year old recent college grad. In August of 2011 I woke up one day and decided to make a change. Through exercise and learning healthy eating habits I have lost 80+ lbs! I love running, lifting weights, spinning, being active. I have an amazing boyfriend who loved me at my HW and loves me the same now. I wanted to start a blog so I could post workouts, healthy meal ideas, and motivational stuff! Feel free to ask me questions!
Stats:
Height: 5'11''
--- HW: 253 lbs. ---
--- CW: 171 lbs. ---
--- GW: 153 lbs. ---
--- UGW: not sure yet, i want to see how i look when i get to 153, and determine whats healthy for me :)

The Tall Girls Directory
This is me in February of 2011. Happy, in love, on a mini-vacation Valentines Day weekend with my boyfriend at an indoor water mark. Clearly I think I am a princess. Weight was probably around 240 lbs.
This is my boyfriend, Ken and I in March 2011 at a friends wedding. Weight is probably 245 lbs.
This is me in June 2011 in Arches National Park. The summer of 2011 was spent in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. A lot of pictures like this surfaced. I weighed 253 lbs, I felt awful, lethargic, unable to do the basic hiking required of me on this trip. It was wake up call time! But first, a few more pictures from that trip lol:
So I began exercising and eating well in August of 2011.
This is my first progress shot. I weighed 220 lbs in this picture, which was taken in October.
