If you're looking for weight loss inspiration with a side of funny, look no farther than the Pasta Queen, aka Jennette Fulda of Half of Me. Not only did Jennette lose 186 pounds through diet and exercise and a remarkable sense of humor, she also recently published a book about her experience -- Half-Assed: A Weight Loss Memoir.

Fulda was recently interviewed by the Today Show, where she talked about her early struggles with weight and what inspired her to finally take it off. What I love about Jeannette's story is that she took two years to take off the weight, leaned heavily on exercise (she just ran a half-marathon!), and cut calories by choosing nutritious foods over processed junk. If you're looking for a weight loss role model, she certainly has a great story to inspire you.
