Jaianne before and after

“Hello my name is Jaianne. I started my weight loss journey in May of 2013. My trigger for wanting to change was when I got out my car and had a hard time breathing. I knew that could not be good for my life and I had to make some major changes. I started off with my eating habits and then I started working out. I am currently down 76 pounds since May. My starting weight was a whopping 257 pounds and I am now 181 pounds. I am not where I want to be as yet but will continue to push through. This lifestyle has changed my life and I could never go back to the junk food. I do not go to a gym. I do all my workouts from home. I work out any where from 4-6 times a week. I no longer eat fast food. I eat tons of veggies and fruits. It’s definitely not an easy journey. You have to remain strong and know that when you put the work in, changes will follow. Many times I cried, looked in the mirror and was upset at myself but it’s important to know you are amazing. Once you lose the weight there is no turning back. It’s gone forever.”

Update December 2013 – Sherlonda wrote in to share that her total weight loss is now 139 pounds. Her abs are SHOWING and she has muscles! YESSSSS, Diva! She did that! Here is what she shared with us about her body and lifestyle transformation:

“Hi my name is Sherlonda Tyrus and you featured me back in April 2013. I wanted to send an update to my journey. I started my journey November, 2011, the day before Thanksgiving. I was 325 pounds and I was tired. My daughter who was a senior in high school, was my motivation when I started my journey. She wanted to lose weight for prom. So we started attending jcjonesbootcamp.com, my 4 daughters and I, at 5:30 am on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I was finally tired of being unhealthy and out of shape. I had to do it for myself this time. Determination, commitment to self, and no looking back has brought me this far. Although my daughters don’t get up in the mornings with me anymore, I still go 5 days a week. I’m almost at my goal but still have lots of work to do. It’s not easy but can be done one change at a time. It’s a lifestyle change, not a diet or fad. This is my new life. You won’t find time…you have to make it. I lost the weight by changing my diet. I stopped eating fast food and started cooking at home. I eat meals every 3-4 hours. No pop or other drinks, just water, water, and water.”
