Kerry B. won $1,399.09 for losing 51 pounds in 6 months!
Location: Lindenhurst, NY
Before the challenge “I was feeling pretty down on myself. Being someone who has always been physically active and has had my ups and downs my whole life, I was at my highest point. I couldn’t work out as hard, I would be winded earlier. When something you like to do becomes more difficult, it takes a strain all over…When you’re feeling down on yourself, it’s hard to bet on yourself but that’s when you need to do it. Have faith in yourself and rely on yourself. No one else is going to change your habits for you.”
