It took a lot of patience and hard work to get her body to look like that. Also quite a bit of knowledge. That's what will carry her through. Assuming life doesn't deal her too many hard cards. <br />I'm sure rooting for her.teresahttp://gooddaytodiet.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-9714831111841820402011-07-16T10:29:02.531-04:002011-07-16T10:29:02.531-04:00I haven't been living under a rock but with va...I haven't been living under a rock but with vacation time we took a much needed media break! Thanks for filling me in on this, very interesting story. Good for her for losing the weight and doing what she is doing! I wish her well and I hope she motivates others to change their life and get healthy. If she did it without surgery, pills and potions she is a great role model!Tami@NutmegNotebookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03734911958992997465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-9702439055625322932011-07-16T10:04:39.792-04:002011-07-16T10:04:39.792-04:00I guess I've been living under a rock, LOL.

As you point out, we don't really know much about this story. If she goes on to be a "role model" for people, then her methods (whether she's being fully honest now or if it turns out she uses less healthy methods) should come under more scrutiny -- or at least be called out for what they are -- good or bad.<br /><br />For now, it's just really inspiring that she had the confidence to get into the pageant game after having spent so much time overweight.Michele @ Healthy Cultivationshttp://www.healthycultivations.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-50629257811506034782011-07-16T07:54:28.192-04:002011-07-16T07:54:28.192-04:00Well Sharon, you've just educated me because I...Well Sharon, you've just educated me because I do believe I AM living under a rock! This story has somehow slipped under my radar. I just returned from your link and watched the interview on the Today Show. Karen makes several good points, and the one that I noticed right away about her body has to do with her youth as well. The longer you carry the weight, the more difficult it is for the skin to return to a healthy appearance. She was very lucky to have connected with the healthy side of her at such a young age....my God, that body!! <br />I really loved her comment on 'being a size healthy' and that it isn't about the numbers. Loving yourself along the way is really the key to happiness. <br />Thank you for giving me a shout out in your blog. You are a ray of sunshine from out there in Tennessee ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02206154638036351459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-22157817547041786712011-07-16T01:58:48.227-04:002011-07-16T01:58:48.227-04:00I'm not sure about Miss SC either, but a defin...I'm not sure about Miss SC either, but a definite thumbs up to YOU.

But, it sounds like an amazing story. Health and fitness are just great platforms. I am guessing there is more to the story, which I am sure will come out sometime soon. Just maybe, it is all legit. <br /><br />I hope those repairs resolve quickly. I know that is a hassle and you are definitely displaced. <br /><br />To answer your teaching question on my blog today: I enjoyed it, teaching at the U. But, I am REALLY glad my sabbatical is only half over. SO much more I would like to do. So much more writing. I am on hiatus now, so to speak, as we prepare for our son's wedding. And yes, I KNOW we will meet someday!

Very interesting and motivational story, one that I hope helps young people focus on healthy weight management. I admit, though, that I hope she'll continue to emphasize that her longer workouts are for pageants and not for the long haul.Cammy@TippyToeDiethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00547787031318303521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-30907049832115978452011-07-15T20:22:27.317-04:002011-07-15T20:22:27.317-04:00Hopefully she can keep it off and be a good role m...Hopefully she can keep it off and be a good role model.

Can she keep it off? Who knows. <br /><br />Overall, I really think that a smaller weight loss that is permanent is more important than a huge weight loss that is gained back--now matter how un-gorgeous the former is vs. the latter.<br /><br />:-) MarionAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499442282999349686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-35180880732421362822011-07-15T18:29:17.146-04:002011-07-15T18:29:17.146-04:00Sorry about the den, but congratulations on not le...Sorry about the den, but congratulations on not letting it upset your eating!

Saw her Good Morning America interview and there were not specifics, but when do you actually have time in a 2 minute interview to tell what you eat, when you eat and how you eat. I would think that my vote is for a thumbs up, because she did drop the weight and did it in two years, not like the fast track people that drop it fast and then eventually gain it back. I for one would like to see how she does in years to come. Even though I am not a huge Subway fan (but a fan from time to time) I do applaud Jared of his accomplishment and that he is till in the "limelight" from time to time.<br /><br />Loving your View - thanks for sharing.<br /><br />Staying MOtivated MOMer and Mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04841484504617964499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-34851080107466917342011-07-15T17:02:36.511-04:002011-07-15T17:02:36.511-04:00OMG you stole my blog post!

I read a few online profiles and saw a few interviews and she does say she tried both Atkins and Weight Watchers before settling more on a version of what I'd call "all things in moderation." Have you heard her fuel for the car analogy? I also heard her say 3 hours training and 30 minutes when not prepping for pageants. <br /><br />One thing that struck me... she is young. IMO our metabolisms slow as we age and it gets harder and harder to lose or even maintain. Look at you! All that moving and still sticking to only 1200 cals. I've been at about 1500 lately and maintaining and I do TWO hours of exercise a day. That's crazy, seems to me. <br /><br />Also, she has probably not wreaked havoc on her body and metabolism by doing the yo-yo thing that I have done for so many years. And my body will never look like hers... darn stomach and thighs. <br /><br />I'm thinking maybe she can do something good, based on what she says she is saying to kids and the reactions on her facebook page (which I link in my post). <br /><br />By the way, my next thumbs post is done too:) I do like to have a few in the can at all times.Karen@WaistingTimehttp://www.waistingtimeblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
