Jennette has succeeded in an incredible feat. She has lost half her body weight. She is now down to 186 pounds and wants to lose another twenty pounds. (She's 5'9" tall.)Jennette has done it the slow way. She's completely changed her diet (by abiding to the South Beach Diet guidelines) and is now exercising regularly.
In the process, she has scored a book contract to write about her weight loss journey. Her book, Breaking Up with Lane Bryant: A Weight Loss Memoir will be published in early 2008. It's unlikely she got a huge royalty in advance for her book. But if I was Oprah, I'd be a little worried about the competition. Oprah signed a book contract earlier this year to write about weight loss and received an incredible record $12 million dollar royalty advance.
Jennette has a wonderful writing style. I've posted about her before but if you haven't visited her site yet, see her story here. Her book is going to be a blockbuster bestseller.
