brooklyn, NY Hi! My name is Jardena (pronounced jar-day-na). I'm 28 years old, I live in
NYC (born and raised), and I've been working as an emergency medicine
physician assistant for the past 6 years. I grew up in a traditional African
American family with a strong family medical history of obesity, diabetes, and
heart disease. I've managed to reduce my risks by losing 95lbs over the last

NYC (born and raised), and I've been working as an emergency medicine
physician assistant for the past 6 years. I grew up in a traditional African
American family with a strong family medical history of obesity, diabetes, and
heart disease. I've managed to reduce my risks by losing 95lbs over the last
10 years, but I have yet to reach my goal. Let me explain with first a little
history:
Growing up, I can remember the so called "Commandments of Eating" which
were the following:
A. You finished everything on your plate (seconds available upon request)
B. You filled up on starches ( rice, breads, etc.) instead of protein because it
was expensive
C. ALWAYS LEAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT!
By my senior year of high school, both my weight and cholesterol level neared
300! I was also told by my doctor that I was at risk of developing Type II
Diabetes. I hid behind my height (I'm 5'11" bare foot) but I was 275lbs. I was
in denial, I was angry; and I was hurting both physically and emotionally. It
was not until I saw a picture of myself from a previous Thanksgiving Dinner,
did I realize how out of control I was. I mean, I was almost 20 years old and
I was already complaining of knee and back pain. My confidence and self-
esteem were very low and to add insult to injury, I was in a very unhealthy,
abusive relationship. I realized had hit rock bottom. It was not until after my
dad said to me, "Your family history is not your destiny", was I ready to make
a drastic change! AND CHANGE I DID!!
Beachbody has allowed me not only to simply change my weight, but my
whole outlook toward health and fitness.
This journey is not just about a number on a scale, but about the cultivation
and growth of inner strength and determination that you never thought you
had!
As your coach, I will be here for you every step of the way, I mean it!...but
YOU have to make the first step! Don't worry, I don't bite, lol!
You can reach me anytime by clicking "Email me"....remember, only you can
make the first step! I look forward to hearing form you!

Change is a journey and over the years I have tried various diets (both healthy
and unhealthy) and multiple exercise regimens including Power 90 (way back
in the day, lol) and more recently P90X (although inconsistently). In the last
10 years I was able to shed 95lbs. and gain self-confidence, self-esteem, and
self-love. But this isn't about food, exercise, and weight lost anymore....deep
down, I know I have yet to reach my full potential. I want to be "in the best
shape of my life".
A little over a year ago, a certain friend who had not seen me in a while,
bumped in to me in the street and said, "Wow, how did you lose all that
weight!" I told her about Beachbody/P90X and I gave her the "Watch this DVD
first" disc. In a matter of months, this person has transformed her life,
has achieved incredible physical fitness, and inspires thousands...including
me. I realized I had a story to tell and by sharing I could change the course of
someone's life for the better! I embraced the Beachbody team like I never did
before and it was the best thing I ever did!!!
Over time I became more consistent and disciple with my eating habits and
my workouts; I joined the support groups and asked for help/advice. And
more importantly, I made myself accountable which is KEY to staying on track
and success!!
Plugging into Team Beachbody's
AMAZING support system is so important for long term success. We are here
to encourage and guide you on your journey to great health! USE IT;)
This has proven to be the toughest and most challenging leg of the race, but I
know it will be the most rewarding and I am looking forward to it!
Would you like to join me? I'd love to be your coach! Together we can BRING
IT!!!!!!!
