People lose weight for different reasons, and for Jenny, it was so she would be able to feel better in her body and consequently, her mind. The 32-year-old lost a whopping four stone in just four months.
However, after giving birth, Jenny said she “had a really hard time learning to love my body again”.
She continued: “Like many, I couldn’t recognise what I saw in the mirror and although I was thankful for my body giving me my son, Jaxon, I felt grotesque and so unlike myself.
“I cut myself some slack the first couple of months, but as soon as I could exercise, I was determined to get back into my pre-baby body.”
With the support of her husband and a fitness app called Freeletics, Jenny became active once again, saying: “With the moral support from my husband I’ve smashed my goals and I am stronger than I have ever been.”
Describing the app, Jenny added: “The app was a great tool to use and it got me back into exercising again.
“We mainly used their 15-minute training journey workouts, meaning that we burned hundreds of calories in such a short amount of time and I could choose the intensity depending on my energy levels on the day.”
The app was a brilliant alternative to going to the gym during the pandemic, and it enabled Jenny and her husband to “juggle parenting and work all at the same time”.

The 32-year-old continued: “Once Jaxon could go to nursery, we started using the app at the gym as well since they introduced some weight and strength workouts.
“It really is the all-round app.”
A healthy diet is just as important as exercise when it comes to weight loss, and Jenny has made some healthy swaps since the beginning of her transformation journey.
Instead of bacon, eggs, or a sugary cereal, she now eats a banana with natural yoghurt for breakfast.
As for lunch, she opts for a Greek salad instead of her usual pasta with tomato sauce and cheese.
Lastly, dinner is chicken, fish, or red meat with plenty of vegetables.
This meal is healthier and contains more protein than steak and chips or spaghetti Bolognese with garlic bread.
