Hi there. This is Mike, Jen’s husband. Jen’s not here right now, she’s off in New York City and can’t come to the computer right now. I can’t tell you why she’s in New York, (I pinky swore secrecy) but I can tell you that it’s for a really cool reason, so stay tuned and she ‘ll tell you more about it when she gets back. Anyway, she asked me to sit in for her today since she’s away from a computer and can’t post anything until she gets back. She told me to tell you that when she started this blog she promised she would post every day until she reached her goal weight, so this is me helping her make sure she doesn’t break her promise. Also, I’d just like to say that so many people have come up to me and told me how amazing Jen looks (which is true, she looks really HOT). But on top of her physical transformation, I have gotten to see all of the other changes she has been through since starting her quest. Jen has become more confident, more outgoing (if that is even possible!), and most of all, more happy. She doesn’t know I’m posting all this, but I am a huge fan of hers and I wanted all her other fans to know I think it’s really awesome I get to call her my wife. She’s the bee’s knees in my opinion and inspires me every day, so I thought I would take this opportunity to tell everyone while she’s out of town (I’m sneaky that way). Oh, and before I go, Jen wanted me to tell you she bought her first set of size 8 pants today. In New York City. See how cool she is? That’s my wife, ladies and gentlemen.

Wow, what support. I love Mike is there for you all the way. You can tell how proud he is and just putting his 2 cents in on what he has noticed is truly inspirational.
