Biggest Loser Transformation Contest Winner - Melody Brooks

what weight did you originally start? what are you at now?

When I started with sexyback boot camps in December 2008, i weighed 149. Now I weigh 133, but more importantly I lost 10.75 inches and 7.9% body fat!! I have went down at least two pant sizes.

what were you doing prior to class, exercise-wise?

Prior to joining sexyback boot camps, I was not exercising. I was just trying to loose weight with diet programs, like weight watchers

what prompted you to join the classes?

I had a baby last summer and was really trying to loose my extra weight. I met Kri through someone I work with that was having a blast at his boot camp classes. It sounded like fun! I went to try it out and have been hooked ever since!

how has this changed your life, mentally, emotionally, physically, or spiritually? at work, at home, with family and friends?

I have much more confidence in all aspects of my life- family, work, etc. I definitely have more energy, I don't seem to "drag" in the afternoon anymore.

how did you lose the weight...how did you do it? was it portion control? watching what you eat? exercising? all the above? motivation and guidance from Me and the girls of the class?

Losing the weight really took dedication. I have been dedicated to come to class a minimum of two times per week, preferably three. i also have been dedicated to my diet- eating small meals throughout the day and taking my lunch to work. Decreasing the amount of sugar in my diet and increasing the amount of protein. Once I started seeing results I became very motivated. Kri also gave me motivation with daily text messages to keep me on track. The bodybugg has also helped me to stay on track. I can visually see my calorie intake and how many calories i have burned each day.

what were or are your short term goals (one week or one month) and long term goals (12 weeks or 6 months or one year)?

One short term goal I have is to increase my intake of water. Within the next 2-3 months, I want to loose 5-7 more pounds to be at my goal weight.

Toughest challenges - how did you keep your focus because it's so easy to let other factors distract your focus?

The toughest challenge for me would be my diet. Everyday at work, my coworkers order take-out food. Eating was a form of entertainment for me. I always bring my lunch and healthy snacks to work, and just try to keep my goals in mind. Are those extra calories really worth it? Usually not.

were there any points where you felt like you couldn't do this anymore?

I love the boot camp classes. Sometimes during class I feel like I can not possibly do anything else, then Kri and my fellow boot campers give me the encouragement I need to continue.

PS - Another testimonial for you!! I've been saving a couple pairs of pants for YEARS just hoping they will fit me one day! Well that one day is here!! Yeah!!!
