Everything is looking great Jenny, that pic of you in the black looks fantastic, you have come a long way. Where do you go to college? And what are you majoring in?

Yes, I agree, we must have Justin pick you out some stuff that shows off your hard work and efforts this past year! You've done "beyond excellence" and maybe we should get you some shorts made of "gold" because your worth that and much-much more!

Have a great week, Jenny!

Great pic Jen! You've made soooo much progress!



I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

Wow! I had no idea that you were in Virginia, I am actually originally from Virginia Beach, and I go travel down to Richmond and back to Virginia Beach all the time. I have family in VA. That's also nuts that you go to James Madison because I actually had a wrestling camp there a few years ago. The campus was absolutely gorgeous, how do you like it there?

I was thinking about applying to a few VA schools for this upcoming Spring/Fall. Possibly Virginia Wesleyan college, James Madison, Hampden-Sydney, or even Old Dominion.

David, thanks Yeah, I think I need some new workout pants and shorts.. I've had to buy new jeans too since my old ones just looked like crap, too baggy. I'm not complaining though I'm washing all my clothes in high temps these days so they'll shrink a little Tops are getting nice and tight that way

Rock, thanks

Mon, wow, really?? That's crazy! JMU is a great school with a great community, you should apply! I love it here, it's so beautiful and the people are so friendly. Do not want to go back to my university when the year is over

Diet is looking great Jenny. Cardio this morning looks awesome as well, wow, 50 minutes of running outside on a trail? That's very impressive.

What kind of diet do you generally follow? Just a clean one? I see lots of low-carb foods in your journal.

I have heard great things about JMU, nothing but positive stuff to be honest. My parents actually own a townhouse in Virginia Beach so I would end up getting in-state tuition which would help. What year are you there?

Thanks Mike! I love running on the trails, it's just amazing. I'm not following a diet, just healthy choices. I do use a lot of low carb stuff, I probably should eat more complex carbs. I just figure I have higher carb days too that make up for it.. In the past I've been so obsessive and I'm really trying not to be right now, not counting cals and stuff.

JMU is a great place to be . Lots of partying here, but also great on the academical level. I'm here as a junior, going back to sweden after a year.

Hi Jenny....


Just passing by. For what I read, I gather that you are really getting a lot out of your stay here. You are going to JMU? It's funny, back in the day, I was recruited for football and track by JMU among a couple of universites (I really didn't have the greatest gpa in the world but they thought I could play). Ended up not going anywhere and staying here. 14 years later I graduated from College

I hope it continues going well for you and that you get a lot out of this trip....

I'm getting my period anyday now.. I can feel it cause I'm holding a shitload of water and my nipples always get really really sensitive when it's approaching
I studied by the pool today and I got a bit red.. I try to avoid that, but I guess I just got too much.. My back is a lot less tan, need to work on that

Lots of school work going on I'm not happy about it..

Justin and I are once again on the right track after another hard weekend.. Things are a bit turbulent between us, it's hard emotionally..

Well, we don't have the same "school spirit" I guess. Since it's state owned and free for us it's more just a school you go to and not the whole community around it. A lot of people in my class in sweden are older, which is not as much fun. When you apply for college in sweden you apply for a specific set program or course, so you need to know exactly what you want to do before even applying. There's no general education in the same sense and the major is set from the very beginning. Which is why people tend to wait a while until they know what they want to be in school for. I have a complete list of what classes I'll take all through my education, except a small elective course. I'm with the same people all the time, all the people that picked "health science" in one class. It's just different and not as much fun..

Okay, today I'm going to count my calories on Fitday. I need to figure out if I'm eating too little or am on a good level. Plus I told greeky to do it so I should do it myself
Going for a run soon, the sun needs to come up first It's going to be a good one I think Might go for a cycling class tonight as well, I need a break from my school work.
I'm feeling so good these days. I actually like my body and I feel good, even in a bikini That alone is a huge deal to me.. Thinking back to where I was a year ago.. It's insane.. I was such a fatty after my 4 week cold last summer when I couldn't work out and ate too much.. I have the pics to prove it.. My IM comp pics http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/sh...0&postcount=28 (IM online comp finishing line) Since the final pic I've lost at least 10 more lbs.. Not that I weigh myself, but I've lost 2 dress sizes since then..
Seeing those before pictures will make myself stay on track forever, I don't ever want to go back to being a fatass.. I was feeling so depressed back then, hardly wanted to go out or anything. Now things have changed and I feel GREAT

Your transformation still amazes me. It is all very simple. Clean diet and consistent training. Since Ive lost some weight I know how much better I feel, and can relate to your happiness. Can you explain a little more about the 4month cold? What exactcally happened? How much wieght did you gain?

Have a great day my little swedish inspiration!

Hey Jill!
It was actually 4 weeks and not 4 months I wrote it wrong. I had this cold that wouldn't dissapear.. I was coughing blood and just having all kinds of troubles. Took a long time to recover from. My eating was bad at that time too cause I was a bit depressed. Before that I had been on a crazy diet for about a month before Justin came to see
