Success Story Jennifer Neal

Please meet Fit and Fearless’ latest success story, Jennifer Neal! Jennifer is a paralegal who is originally from La Vernia, Texas. I have no idea where that is. But she’s here now, and we are glad!

Jennifer was invited to be a bridesmaid in her brother’s wedding, and wanted to lose weight for the event. Always one to take the bull by the horns, she decided to get busy with CrossFit in May to prepare for the September ceremony. In that brief time she lost 50 pounds!

As many of us know, one of the greatest joys of becoming fit is seeing the positive influence it can have on the people we care about. And Jennifer’s boyfriend Ben has also adopted Zone eating strategies and has lost 20 pounds!

I’ve had the pleasure of working out with Jennifer, and have seen with my own eyes that she has what it takes to achieve total success: she’s strong, determined, and she does not quit! But even tough people sometimes need strategies to push through when an exercise is difficult to complete, and Jen recommends counting your reps backward, “so you know exactly how much more work (you) need to put into it.”

If you’re thinking of trying CrossFit but you’re afraid it’s too hard and you can’t do it, listen to Jennifer. She says, “If I can do it, you can, too! The trainers are able to scale all of the exercises to fit any fitness level, so don’t be intimidated.”

Jennifer tells us, “since starting my training with CrossFit, my energy levels have skyrocketed and my sleeping patterns have become more regular. After working out at 6:15 a.m., I start my work day more energized.” But this girl is just getting started. Now that she’s met her goal of looking fabulous in her bridesmaid dress, she is taking it to the next level: losing 100 more pounds and “running at least a half marathon”. After making such impressive gains in only 5 months, it’s clear there is no stopping her from doing whatever she wants.
