The Day My Life Changed...

I started on my journey in August of 2007. For two years I fought, kicked and cried my way through losing 90+lbs. I was well on my way to hitting an official 100lbs lost by August 1st, 2009 which was my 2 year anniversary. I was planning a big 'ol celebration around here... until my life changed the evening before my final weigh-in. (Click here for more info).

Join me now, as I reevaluate my priorities, struggle to find out what "healthy" is while dealing with an emotional trauma, and continue to learn how to live a healthy life, no sugar coating included.

PriorFatGirl & Future PriorFatGirl Get Together

The time has come
for a get-together...

of PriorFatGirl & Future 
PriorFatGirl magnitude.

The entire time I was losing weight, fighting to eat healthy and kicking and screaming my way to the gym, I had a support system around me. Others who knew what I was going through were ready to give me advice, cheer me on with an "atta girl," and call me on the carpet if I did something that wasn't aligning with my healthiness lifestyle.

So in honor of supporting each other, it's time to 
get PriorFatGirls and Future PriorFatgirls together!!

Saturday, February 27th 
10:00am

Open to Minneapolis/St. Paul 
PriorFatGirls & Future PriorFatGirls &
all others who have a passion for healthiness!
(PriorFatGirl is anyone who has lost a substantial amount of 
weight and wants to come support others. Future PriorFatGirls are those 
who are at the beginning of their journey and want to find support.)

How to register: Email me at jen@priorfatgirl.com with the following information. Your registration is not complete unless you include all information. 
  1. Your first & last name
  2. Phone number & email address
  3. Confirmation that 2/27 at 10:00am will work for you.
Space is limited to 40 people. If you register, make 100% certain you can come!  Anyone who registers after the initial 40 attendees will be added to a waiting list. Details including a location in Minneapolis will be sent once all space is filled up.

And...a special thanks to the sponsors of this event:



 

 
This is going to be so much fun; I can't wait to meet everyone! 
Plus, I have a few surprises up my sleeves for those in attendance.

Who knew so many people would want to live in the snowy tundra of Mineapolis, Minnesota...? Haha!

I guess that's what a PFG meet up will do!

This is going to be SO much fun, I can't wait!!!! :)

I don't think I'll be able to make it from Boston. ;( I'm sure all the Prior Fat Girls and Future Prior Fat Girls will have a blast. Take lots of pictures for those of us who can't be there. I'll be the former and future prior fat girl there in spirit.
