The goal of the 4-week extension is to provide just about EVERYTHING that you need to make a large complete meal (8 total meals) during the crazy holiday season. This share will keep you eating healthy meals during the time which most people are gaining weight you can be deflating your weight. These meals are Jeni Fit friendly. What does that mean? Well, we have paired up with a local celebrity fitness guru Jenifer Wirtshafter. (She will be mad that I am calling her a celebrity) but if you know any of the lives she has changed you would whole heartedly agree that Jeni Fit is truly where change happens in a huge way. DYW(deflate your weight) is a proven 6-9 week program that focuses on nutrition, exercise and improving your habits to last a lifetime. We can help you with 4 of those weeks if you are in the program which begins November 14th. To find out more Call (908)-654-3300 or visit www.Jeni-Fit.com to register.
