First TV Show

Jennifer Gimenez made her first TV show appearance as Forrester Model in The Bold and the Beautiful in 1993.

Personal Trainer

Jennifer went through a lot of turmoil in her life regarding her diet, habits, and exercise. When she was discovered by a modeling agent, she forced herself to use laxatives, eat lettuce and very low-calorie food, and workout for up to 5 hours a day in the gym to stay skinny and satisfy the industry standards. This forced Jennifer to turn to cocaine to lose additional weight and comfort herself during long work and travel hours.

It wasn’t until she was 29 years old that she decided to go fully sober. Unfortunately, Jennifer found herself drawn to excessive food eating for comfort, which led to her reaching 200 lbs by 2008, and a peak weight of 267 lbs at some point. After unsuccessful diets, she turned to regular cardio on the treadmill and elliptical machine for almost an hour a day, 6 days a week. Soon, she hired a personal trainer to help her with intensive, high-repetition workouts to burn fat, and gain muscle.

Jennifer quickly lost 80 lbs but also hit a plateau where the scale simply refused to go further down. Jennifer then took educated advice and started swimming for an hour a day for 3 months. She also took yoga and stretching to increase elasticity, keep her muscle mass, and prevent injuries. During workouts, she stayed sober, ate pasta, oatmeal, banana, corn taco shells, and brown rice. In total, it took Jennifer around 3 years to get to the perfect weight that she felt confident, comfortable, strong, and healthy with.
