Mother of 5 sets out to save America

Jan. 6, 2009 - PRLog -- Maureen Jeanson grew up in a home with over weight parents and was obese herself as a young adult.  Being a young mother who was over weight did not make Maureen unique; it made her the statistical norm. However, she set out to change that statistic and lost over 90 pounds and now makes fitness and healthy eating a part of her every day life.  

Obesity is a rising epidemic, a disease which is second only to smoking as the leading cause of preventable death in America.  Maureen Jeanson has set her goals to help people find a way to prevent and even reverse obesity. “There is no magic pill for fat loss.” Maureen says “but it is not as hard as people are lead to believe when they are trying to find the right diet to choose.”
“With over 1,000 different diets to choose from and fad diets making headlines all the time it is easy to see why people make a choice to just NOT diet.” She goes on.

Maureen lost her weight while managing her family and work. “I know too well that it is difficult to find time to eat right and drive your kids to baseball practice and play dates.” She offers.  Wanting to share her tips with the world in hopes to give real solutions to this debilitating disease of obesity, she joined forces with a former client and wrote Squeaky Gourmet. Maureen says this book was specifically designed to target anyone at any fitness level.

“I included everything I learned while losing almost 100 pounds of body fat. I want to offer people the same hope and freedom that I now feel!” she says. Maureen also offers a free internet support group where users have climbed into the hundreds. She hopes to begin a podcast series which will also be offered for free to help get her message out on how to find the right path to a healthy weight loss.

Maureen has gone on to train as a fitness specialist with the US Navy and also works with local area youth helping to prevent obesity before it takes hold of young people.

“This is not something that has to happen to people, we can cure this disease. We can’t cure cancer yet, but this is something we can control. I just want to show people how to control it and not feel over whelmed.”
