Super excited about this week’s topic for J-ciniTV because it’s where my journey of laughing myself skinny began and how I dropped 10 pounds in 2 weeks without starving myself.
Looking back on that point in my life, since then, so many doors have opened in my life because I chose to do things differently.
And if I could do a backflip without breaking my neck, I’d be doing multiple out of anticipation of what walking through this door for you will open up.
It begins, where most people begin when they want to shed some lbs…fiddlin’ with food.
Now let me be very clear about something…eating healthy has NOTHING to do with losing weight.
Why?
Because not all healthy food is created equal.
Just because something is deemed “healthy” doesn’t mean it’s gonna leave space for you to button your pants without suffocating.
So what’s a gal like you to do?
It’s time to find the fat blasting food that’s right for you…the first step every woman takes when she’s in Laugh Yourself Skinny.
How?
Don’t worry, in this week’s J-ciniTV we give you a way yo start fiddling with your food where you’ll actually be able to see the number on the scale go down.
And it doesn’t require you to buy a bunch of books or get a ton of tests done, either. It’s more of a no-brainer.
To start seeing some real changes, go here:

Did you know that a woman will spend over $15,000 on makeup in her lifetime?
I believe it.
In fact, a few years ago there was a time when I wouldn’t leave the house without makeup on. And if I had a friend sleep over, I’d even SLEEP with concealer and foundation on to mask my pizza face.
I used to buy sooo many beauty products, desperate to find what would make me look and feel beautiful.
My oh my, how times have changed.
Nowadays, I love going fresh faced just about everywhere. This might sound silly but sometimes, because of my past, I still get a little shocked when someone compliments how beautiful I am without makeup on.
I now know exactly what to do to have my inner glow radiate out of my face like sunbeams. And it doesn’t come from a bottle or a cream.
And I want to share these secrets with you!
To help get this beauty party poppin’, I invited my dear friend and former In Style Beauty Editor Jolene Hart to this week’s episode of J-ciniTV.
She just came out with an ahh-mazing book called Eat Pretty and in this week’s episode we both dish out our fav beauty secrets and how to glow from the inside out…without having to spend a year of college tuition to get it.
Got a fav beauty secret? Share it in the comments below the video and help make every woman look and feel more beautiful!
Thanks for your input and for tuning in!
See ya next week!

When I first quit my corporate job, I stepped up my workouts to 20+ hours a week. I was back in school and when I wasn’t studying, I was working out.
At first I thought this was awesome. I finally could burn more than I ate. I would finally have the body I always wanted.
I would skip down the street thinking about how I’d finally have magazine cover 6-pack abs and how my triceps would stop jiggling when I waved.
But I never got there.
My belly still looked bloated and my arms…well, they still looked like MY arms.
I was pissed.
How could this be?
I said to myself, “I’m eating healthy and literally living in my lululemon, how could I NOT get the body I always wanted?!”
Well, if I could go back in time and tell myself what I know now I would’ve had a LOT more time on my hands. Not to mention energy and fun times too.
And I hear this is a familiar situation for a lot of women who I work with.
Ok, maybe they aren’t working out like it’s a part time job, but they are moving their bods and that number on the scale is staying put.
So in this week’s episode of J-ciniTV, we tackle a major reason why sweating your buns off isn’t getting your buns to budge.
Watch out. You’re never gonna believe this:
Crazy right?
Try it!

P.S. Wanna know more about finding a workout (and meal plan) that’s perfect for you? This Sunday I’ll be in NYC teaching and talking about all things Laugh Yourself Skinny! Let’s hang out! More details here.
I have exciting news!
A few weeks ago one of my best buds called me up and begged me to speak at this event called Goddess On The Go. I had heard her talk about a few of these events in the past and was always curious as to what she did there because afterwards she sounded like she was literally walking on sunshine.
When I started to get more information about the day… a community of like-minded women, 3 awesome speakers (including me!), a delicious organic lunch, and a sassy sensual workout by S Factor…well, I just couldn’t say no.
It sounded like a day on the Laugh Yourself Skinny Escape!
I’m thrilled to be speaking at the event and even more thrilled that a ton of my gal pals will be there too.
Will you come party with us?
It’s taking place on Sunday, July 20th at the luxurious Ramscale Studios in the West Village.
Since I’d really love to hug you and hang with you, I was able to snag you a special $20 savings off the original ticket price. Just use the promo code JESS to keep that cash in your pocket (and possibly a glass of bubbly at the end of the day!).
You can grab your ticket here.
And if you’re worried about missing out while everyone else goes to the beach, bring them with you!
It’s gonna be a freakin’ blast!
Lots of love and I can’t wait to squeeze you!
xoxo
Jessica
P.S. If you know nothing about S Factor, let me tell you it is my all-time fav way to move my body. So much so that this spring I’d drive 4 hours round trip to NYC every week to take class. It’s that amazing.
I’ll save you a spot on the dance floor!
Last week I appeared on the Delicious Life Show and confessed I don’t cook. In fact, I can’t remember the last time I used a pot or a pan.
But it wasn’t always this way.
I used to spend HOURS on my feet chopping, prepping and cooking EVERYTHING. I thought it was my golden ticket to finally having the body I always longed for.
Well, this got old (and f-ing exhausting!) for me very fast. Cooking eventually became overwhelming and stressful.
And any good that I was doing by eating clean was quickly counteracted with the burden of the stress I’d encounter each week I’d try to do it all.
Not fun.
And not a sustainable way to slim down.
So whether you have a love or a hate for the kitchen, this J-ciniTV episode is for you.
This week I invited our natural foods private chef from our annual Laugh Yourself Skinny EscapeTM, Beth Kaufman, to give you her best kept secrets to cutting time in the kitchen in half and making it a hell of a lot more fun!
Beth is a genius in the kitchen. One thing I learned from her is how when you stress less in the kitchen, you can put a lot more love into your food. 🙂
Start having more fun and spending less time in the kitchen by doing this:

Last week we talked about how to slim down without sacrificing your fav bottle of wine. And this week we’re going to do the same thing with chocolate!
YES, it’s true. You can eat your chocolate, drink your wine AND STILL drop a pant size.
After all, the french do it.
I do it.
And I’m gonna show you how you can do it too!
In this week’s episode of J-ciniTV, I show you how you can keep enjoying your favorite sweet treat and still slip into your skinny jeans.
Because life’s too short to give up chocolate!

I once had a client say to me “I’ll never give up my red wine so don’t even try to make me”.
Like clockwork, at 6pm every night she’d pop a bottle of red and pour herself a glass as she prepped dinner.
I replied with a giggle, “don’t worry, I’m not going to make you give up anything you don’t already want to.”
Now that’s not something you’ll hear a lot of weight loss experts say. But I knew that when she started Laughing Herself Skinny, she’d be slimming down no matter what she drank, or ate.
And she did. She lost 10 pounds in just a few weeks…without sacrificing her beloved glass of vino.
How?
Well, the first thing you should know is that not all wine is created equal. While the only thing that may really differ to the eye about wine is color, there are certain wines that’ll help you slim down and some that will pack on the pounds.
And the answers are in this week’s J-ciniTV episode and I’m SUPER DUPER excited about it!
I interviewed one of the founders and directors, Michael McCaulley, of my all-time-favorite wine spots here in Philadelphia, Tria. He dished out the details on which wines are best for weight loss.
And you’ll never guess what he had to say about my love for a glass of champagne!

P.S. This is my fav time of year to go to Tria. You can find me at a table by the window with one of my best friends giggling over a glass of Prosecco and the duck salad. Yummy! If you live around these parts, I hope to see you there one day 😉
A few of my gal pals and I have this daily ritual that you’re gonna think is kinda weird.
Every morning we hop on the phone, the 4 of us and do a quick check in…we acknowledge the good in our lives, give gratitude for it and then set our intentions for the day and sometimes our life.
One of my gfs has been desiring to slim down and she’s been doing a really good job at eating healthier and getting her butt to her fav barre class in the morning. I’m very proud of her and it’s been a treat to see how excited she gets when she notices her body changing.
Except one day she slept through her alarm.
I could hear in her voice how shattered she was. Disappointed. Frustrated. Pissed off.
Like her body let her down by not waking up to her alarm.
I hear this from a lot of my clients too. That if they stop counting, tracking and pounding the pavement, their body will blow up like a balloon.
The good news is, it’s quite the opposite…and today’s J-ciniTV topic!
I’m giving it to you straight as to why skipping your workout is a genius idea and a tip to slimming down while you sleep (yes, it can be done!).

Ever lose a bunch a weight only to gain it back a few months or years later?
It’s like whatever you were doing stopped working and the pounds slowly start to come back. Your belly starts to feel a little bit flabbier until that dreadful day when you can’t zip your pants.
And there you are back at square one. AGAIN.
Which hurls you back into the dieting cycle…the search for the next, newest answer that’ll help you get your body back.
The good news is that there’s a big reason behind what starts this endless cycle…And I’m gonna tell you it!
In today’s episode of J-ciniTV, I spill the beans on what’s causing you to gain all your weight back and how to avoid the slingshot back into a head full of weight loss worries.

I’m super excited to dish out today’s topic.
But I’m going to warn you, it’s pretty hairy.
In fact, no one really talks about it because for many women it’s best kept a secret. Locked in the closet. Pretending like everything is fine.
I did this for years. I was in total denial that I was an emotional eater.
After all, emotional eating was something for people who were much heavier than me.
Emotional eating was for someone who has real problems… I don’t have problems (or so I thought).
And yet I would continue to say to myself, “I’m doing everything right, but I’m STILL not losing weight.”
That phrase that I used to say over and over to myself and I continue to hear from so many of my clients…it’s a dead giveaway there is some deeper, emotional stuff going on with food.
I never knew that making a bee-line for chocolate when I stepped in the door every day after work to take the edge off was emotional eating.
I never knew that grabbing the ice cream, even though I wasn’t hungry, before I sat down to write a paper for my MBA was emotional eating.
I thought I just suffered from sugar cravings and couldn’t keep that stuff in the house.
The bottom line is I never knew that what I was doing was emotional eating. So I would continue to repeat the same old patterns that would leave me reaching for chocolate and ice cream when stress and anxiety started to pile up.
And that’s why I want to shine the light on emotional eating so you don’t stay stuck repeating the same habits and starting to wonder what’s wrong with you when you’re sweating your buns off and you’re only losing half a pound (on a good day).
In this week’s episode of J-ciniTV, I get down and dirty with emotional eating – what is it really, the truth of where it comes from and how to stop it before your spoon dives into that pint of ice cream.
