About

My name is Jenny Jeanette Duncan, I'm 36 years old and reside in North Idaho with my husband an two children. My daughter Jacque is 15 and my son Jacub is 8. They are both amazing children who are heavily involved in volunteering in our community, sports, and more. I go to college full time, run a successful Girl Scout troop, volunteer in my community, do Boy Scouts with my son, and sports with both children. Support my daughters band talent, she plays the clarinet and so much more. I work for my local college in work study and also work for Weight Watchers. I had never attended college until Fall of this year but have made the decision to get a degree to help people attain a healthy lifestyle as I have. It took me years and over 300 lbs lost naturally to gain the courage and confidence to know what I wanted to do with my life. I want to show people that this can be done and getting healthy is an option for anyone, no matter your size or circumstances.
