Amanda Nettboy: (On the “You can do it” plan) It has definitely been a long time since I’ve put on a bathing suite in public or in private for that matter. I would like to be able to this summer go to the beach and feel good about myself. Jan Brown: (On the “You can do it” plan) So I’m like the person sitting under the umbrella and the chair with like the totally big cover up in a big hat like oh please don’t me get in the water and then she wants to go play in the water and I’m like oh no I have to stand up. It will be really great to just be like oh yeah here I am on the beach! Audra: Amanda said 26-year-old advertising account supervisor who likes to hang out with their friends, read and watch Florida Gator Football. Amanda: My job is a little bit on the stressful side but I think the hardest part is that the hours can be pretty long so after I worked until 8:00, 8:30 and the last thing I want to do is go to the gym and come home and put something healthy for myself. I just want to do what’s easy. Audra: Jan is 42 married and a mom of daughter Matty. Jan: I had my daughter 4 years ago and I just carried around all these extra baby weight 25 pounds of extra baby weight for 4 years and now my baby is starting kindergarten in the fall so it’s time I can’t do this anymore. Something flipped the switch I don’t even know what but now I’m like I’m totally committed. Audra: And what’s motivated Amanda. Amanda: I just had enough of trying and quitting and giving up and I just decided this can’t go on I mean, I need to really commit. Audra: Well both women say it’s not as much about the number on the scale but more about how they feel and look. Jan: I just want to look in my clothes. I have a whole wardrobe I can’t wear. I have yet to fit back into the clothes I was wearing before I got pregnant and so I just— they’re all stored under my bed and I just want to like go shopping in my own closet. Amanda: Hard to say on the scale it doesn’t matter. Obviously it does and everyone has that target number in their head where they want to be but how I look and how I feel and how I fit in to my clothes is also really important. Finally I was just like you know it does matter I want to feel like I look good.
