Jocelyn

Life is going great for Jocelyn and Vance. They are now living in Edmonton after Vance scored his dream job doing sound design for EA games. “His company moved us out here three years ago and we just love living in Alberta,” says Jocelyn. Following her dreams too, Jocelyn is starting journalism school this fall.

Unfortunately, the couple still hasn’t gone on the honeymoon they dreamed of while on the show. “We’re just too busy or every time we think about going something happens like the car breaks down or another big expense,” Jocelyn says, “but we do go on a regular date night now and celebrated our fifteen year anniversary in September.”

Jocelyn has managed keep the weight that she lost on X-Weighted off, and even lost more weight after the show finished. “I lost another 20lb so I was 50lb down, but that 20lb keeps coming back, it is haunting me. I keep losing it again, then gaining back,” she says, adding that she started getting back on track a few weeks ago and is determined to lose that 20lb for good this time.

Being on the show changed Jocelyn’s mind about fitness. While on the show, she really concentrated on her food intake and didn’t take the fitness aspect of her journey too seriously. However, now Jocelyn embraces fitness as part of her life and gets a real kick out of the sense of achievement she feels from physically exerting herself.

“Oddly enough I ended up becoming a big fan of the spin class,” she says, “they are super challenging but very fun. After you finish you know you have had a huge workout, and you’d never do that much work on your own.”
