Theresa lost 100 pounds in 9 months!

Theresa is our PowerSource hero for 2008. She is 29 years old and works as a Deputy City Clerk.

Theresa trained twice a week for the first five weeks with her PowerSource trainer, and her training partner Cindy, a fellow Weight Loss Challenge participant. She lost 15 lbs. in the first five weeks and has never looked back. In October of 2008, Theresa was down to 227 lbs. (103 lbs. of weight lost) and is still going for another 80 lbs.

Training tip from Theresa - Find a good, reliable workout partner. Be consistent with the training diet. Have fun and put variety in your workouts.

Elise lost 52 lbs in 7 1/2 months!

Elise, 37, single mom, came to PowerSource in January to sign up for the weight loss challenge. She had tried for a year to lose weight and couldn't. She joined Curves and tried other things with no success.

In mid January she weighed in with 22 others and began lifting weights for the 1st time in her life. Elise started the challenge at 232lbs and a size 18. In only 5 weeks she won 2nd place losing 17lbs. By the end of the 1st challenge on May 12th, Elise took 2nd place overall with a total loss of 32lbs.

Elise immediately signed up for the 2nd Weight Loss Challenge. She took 1st place in Weight Loss Challenge #2. From January 27th to August 25th (only 71/2 months) she lost 52lbs and she's still getting stronger.

Now Elise is down from a size 18 to 8-10. She is able to do more activities with her son because she has a lot more energy. She feels better about how she looks but her goal is still to lose another 20 to 30lbs.

Elise wore a skirt that she hadn't worn in 7 years and felt great! She feels that she can live a healthier life on her own and will never go back to the bad eating habits.

Training tip from Elise - "Get your protein in the morning, take your training one meal at a time, and let yourself relieve cravings in a controlled way."
