Jen lost 13 lbs and gained a significant amount of muscle. The number on the scale moved slowly — but her clothes told the real story.
Jeans she couldn't fit into started fitting again. She's now wearing things she wore before having kids, and her words say it best:
Physical Changes
Back in her pre-kid jeans.
Feeling sexy again.
"I feel SEXY! I am wearing things that I wore pre kids!"
Jen came to Bounce Forward dealing with severe anxiety — anxiety bad enough that she had been on medication since 2021. Within six weeks of starting BUILD, she noticed a difference in her mood.

She made the decision to stop her medication, and hasn't needed it since. She describes finally feeling like she has control over her stress in a way she didn't before.
Health & Emotional Shifts
Feeling less anxious.
"I feel SEXY! I am wearing things that I wore pre kids!"
The moment She Knew it was working
In Her Own Words
"I got back into my jeans!!! The scale has moved so slowly which can be frustrating but my clothing is a big tell. I am wearing things that I wore pre kids!"
Yes - food became a core part of Jen's results. She became mindful about what she was eating, started measuring portions, and made meal prep a weekly habit.
She says she hates doing it but appreciates it all week. She found that her body really started to change once she changed her eating habits alongside the training.
Her approach to food
Meal prep became her best friend.
Jen is 37, a teacher, and mom to two very active boys. In 2021, her anxiety reached a point where she needed medication — and the medication caused her to gain 30 lbs in six months. She tried going on and off the meds multiple times, but the weight felt impossible to shift.
She'd always done some kind of fitness, but had never lifted weights. In her 20s she'd lost weight through Weight Watchers, but this time she didn't just want to lose weight - she wanted to feel strong. She wanted energy to keep up with her kids.
She decided to try BUILD. After six weeks she felt the shift. The anxiety eased. The mood lifted. She stopped the medication and hasn't looked back.
her full story
Thirty pounds gained. A life reclaimed.
"I want to thank you both for creating the most incredible program with moms in mind - because we usually get pushed to the sidelines while taking care of our babies."
The jeans that sat in her closet for years? They fit again. And she's not done yet.
