About Us

Skinny Bitches is a weight loss blog for Jennah and Sarah to document the ups and downs of their journey for better health. In an attempt to help motivate each other we have decided to participate in workout challenges together. This posses a slight problem since we live many states apart so having a place to share the experiences and emotions about certain aspects of a current challenge seemed like the best way to document our struggles and successes. This site will not only be limited to which ever challenge we are currently doing but will revolve around our weight loss efforts in general.

We formed a great friendship over the course of our recent pregnancies, finding common ground in being overweight and struggling with many of the same fears that entailed. We spent many late nights chatting about our pregnancies and everything else under the sun, including our weight. Once our boys (Sarah’s first, Jennah’s second) were born we began to talk of the challenges of trying to find the time and motivation to fit working out into our busy and often sleepless schedules. Not to mention Jennah dealt with Gestational Diabetes and Sarah dealt with a modified diet due to bedrest, so once our boys were born we found ourselves indulging a bit too much in the foods we weren’t “allowed” to have, so our eating habits needed working on too. We found comfort, support, understanding and friendship in each other during a very joyous and stressful time in our lives and that continues to grow as we move on to the next challenge in our lives, better health.

Like many woman (and men I’m sure) our sole purpose is not becoming thin for beauty, but becoming healthy to ensure a better quality of life and be the active mothers we need to be to raise our children. However, we’d be lying if we didn’t want to be like those “skinny bitches”, you know the ones… Skinny Bitches is a bit of an inside joke.

We are hoping the site will motivate us, keep us accountable, and provide us with a place to have some fun together… all in the name of losing weight and becoming healthy.
