One blogger started out with a simple goal: to lose 45 pounds. But the plan soon caught the eye of a national magazine and a talk show.

Jennifer West, a hospital projects coordinator in Birmingham, started her blog The Jen West Quest in March. She wrote each day about the challenges of losing weight and getting into better shape. Health magazine, based in Birmingham, contacted her to join a new weight-loss group around its book, “The CarbLovers Diet.”

Jennifer continued making progress, when she received a phone call from a TV producer in New York. Would she appear on “The Rachael Ray Show” to talk about “CarbLovers”? (The segment has not received a firm on-air date yet.)

Update Dec. 20: The segment is scheduled to air 10 a.m. Jan. 20 on Fox 6.

Learn more about her remarkable journey in our exclusive interview with her, and how she’ll end up on a TV screen near you soon.
