“This was the hardest and most rewarding thing I have ever been a part of in my life. I owed it to myself to make a lifestyle change.”

Jessica has always been known as the fat girl and has felt uncomfortable in her own skin for as long as she can remember. She was taught to always clean her plate before leaving the table, which led to a compulsive need to finish her food. Married with two kids, she fears her children will continue to outpace her and that will lead to her being left out of the family because she can't keep up. She dreams of joining the police academy but must lose weight in order to be fit enough for the training.
