Celia Rubenstein May 7, 2017 Share May 7, 2017 It doesn't seem to me that Janelle has ever appreciated efforts made to hold her accountable for anything before ... when called out or questioned, doesn't she just moan about people being negative? I guess maybe she has decided to try and make money off being criticised instead of just whining about it. 2 Link to comment
Jellybeans May 7, 2017 Share May 7, 2017 If you criticize with the truth, Janelle will block you. Link to comment
CofCinci May 7, 2017 Share May 7, 2017 Please be gentle with Janelle. The truth is too much for her to handle and she'll have to drive to the parking lot of the hiking area again. 15 Link to comment

I've always sympathized with Janelle's struggle with weight and food, and I don't think she ever positioned herself as an expert in regard to either. I see how she was trying to make her niche the sort of everyday regular woman tired of fad diets and extreme habits. But a scaled back, grass roots sort of effort would better align with this. With a big enough following on instagram she could get sponsored posts, etc. I used to think Janelle was the smart one but I'm not seeing it here. 4 Link to comment
toodles May 9, 2017 Share May 9, 2017 I mentioned in the small talk thread, but they are rerunning random episodes. I watched the one where mykelti brings ft home for the first time. I think my DVR found it all by itself.. Anyhow, Janelle was doing talking heads and wow, she is really round. The scary part is she looks pretty much the same now. So what are the strive people buying again? Oh that's right. NO ONE KNOWS. 5 Link to comment
Featherhat May 9, 2017 Share May 9, 2017 (edited) I do wonder of this is an attempt (like Meri's LLR) to find herself something more to do now that more of her kids are out of the house and to get some validation Kody from validation and purpose from people who are not Kody, especially now Sobin is Keen Queen. If she has to travel every so often to expos there is time away from the Kol-de -Despair and since we know Logan and Michelle have also joined her (and come across really well) a chance to spend time with them. They are definitely not to everyone's taste and I don't know if they would employ her, but if she was willing to put in the effort to developing an endorsement and at least reasonable fitness/weightloss "business" then one of the more established companies might have been willing to promote her for a season (WW, Jenny Craig", Lean Cuisine etc") - not an advocation of any company but she would actually have to show improvement and be willing to step up her lazy presence compared to a poorly prepared doozy that actually, even assuming they don't intent to use it to "bleed the beast" in bankruptcy with everything you can already get for free on the internet or at a fraction of the (stupidly high) price.

I doubt even Janelle knows what strive is supposed to be. Spouting recycled Oprah bs seems like all she has. As ginger90 said, Janelle is not inspirational at all. But she hasn't done anything to change that. And she never will. But she is more than happy to take your money while she thinks about it. 8 Link to comment

Unfortunately she wants to make money more than get healthy/lose weight herself. I agree she would be better with a, "lets do this together" approach. When she does this in earnest it will make her happy, she will be proud of herself and so much in life falls into place when you are in this frame of mind. Positive thought and being happy where you are right now brings so much in. 10 minutes ago, CofCinci said: Why does she abuse her hair? Because it is frizzy and she hates it. At some point she will embrace it and work with it by using products designed to tame frizz. She is probably using a harsh shampoo (they are cheap) and found in the drug store etc. Link to comment

I did a "tineye" search of that image just because I was curious where she lifted it from and guess what ... that is not club soda or sparkling water and lime like Janelle suggests... it's a gin and tonic!

Rainflower May 11, 2017 Share May 11, 2017 So I was thinking of maybe signing up for one month of Strive With Janelle since I am in the process of losing my baby weight. I really wanted to see what she has to offer via her membership. Maybe it is something better than what she offers for free. So I pulled out my CC ready to pay and I noticed she has a link to her private group on her sign up page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/STRIVEwithUsMemberCommunity/ Only 11 members are shown. Um yeah...no. CC goes right back in my wallet. Hopped over to Youtube. 5 Link to comment

AZChristian May 24, 2017 Share May 24, 2017 I didn't understand this sentence from Janelle's blog: " I avoid the carriers that don’t offer assigned seating, even if it means I have to pay a little more. It is a true phobia for me. My stomach gets upset and I start to stress out." I fly Southwest almost exclusively BECAUSE they don't have assigned seating. I pay a couple of bucks extra if it's a long flight so that I'll get a lower boarding number. I'm one of the first people on the plane, and I sit wherever I want. Hubby and I usually get aisle seats across from each other with no trouble. I avoid carriers that DO have assigned seating, because I have less luck in sitting where I want. So I'm confused by what Janelle wrote. 4 Link to comment

toodles May 24, 2017 Share May 24, 2017 I started to really notice people everywhere. And guess what, most of them were not the “perfect” size, the standard I held for myself in my head. That believe it or not, people really do come in all shape and sizes. They all get along the best way possible, enjoying life and “fitting in” with their own issues whether it is height, a lack there of, or even a disability. I know it sounds crazy, but that one moment on that particular flight opened my eyes to the fact that I am as okay as everyone else around me. We, all of us, are unique in our body sizes and shapes and we are O.K.! I'm Ok, because Janelle says so. Who knew? Who is paying for Oprah crap like this? Hasn't Janelle read even one magazine at the grocery store? You can't buy a single woman's magazine wthout some article or another talking about body image. The fact that she is peddling this drivel as some sort of enticement to sign up for "services" is amazing. A preview of Janelle's next post. 11 Link to comment
