From Karen:  This has been the best 12 weeks of my life!  The knowledge that I have filled my brain with is the knowledge I need to continue a healthy lifestyle.  I KNOW that this is the life I must live forever to be successful with the “heavy life” I had been living.  I deeply miss the Push family and the other loser contestants, I have made friends I will have for the rest of the my life, and friends that have been thorough this journey with me and truly understand the challenges with living an overweight life.    I must move on to motivate myself, to push myself, and see this body of mine be under 200lbs.    I have a new workout location, have been given a 6-month free membership at Curves, and I am going to continue this lifestyle forever, its the new ME.  I am runing a 5k, yes I said RUN, in August and have to meet that challenge with full force.  I can WALK but to this day have not run so its something to work towards.  Thanks to everyone for your support.  I must go now and walk some stairs!  Tony “aka capt n crunch”  I would not have done this without you.  A miracle worker you are and I promise to make you proud.  I might be away in body but never in mind!  Thanks again!

From Matt:  Last night’s finale was unbelievable. I was overwhelmed by the amount of people that showed up to support us losers. Thank you to everyone that took time out of their lives to celebrate with us. Everyone was so positive. Dr. Paul’s numbers on how everyone improved were very impressive.
During the past 12 weeks, I had the opportunity to meet 6 other people that were also battling to get their health back. We each came from different backrounds, different ages, different personalities, but one common goal. To get our health back and live a long active life with our families. It was an absolute honor to be part of such a dedicated group of individuals that lost over 400 lbs.
