I have never been so excited in my life. In ten days I’ll be in Malibu motivating people to lose weight and make healthy choices in their life. Im no expert thats for sure but I do know how hard it is to lose weight on your own and make your mind stick to a path that will benefit you the rest of your life.
I wish i knew the magic words to use to make it simple but there are none. You have to find it in yourself to know your worth the change and make it happen. We all have the special part of us that makes us know that we are worth the challenges and the ups and downs that changing your life can bring. But if anyone knows its possible its ME!!! And I will motivate you and share with you all my triumphs and yes…all my downfalls along the way.

This was a very exciting weekend for me. With Naperville’s Last Fling right in my back yard how could I not go there and see all the vendors, music,friend and food. The food is so tempting at the fest. Funnel cakes, Crab cakes, ice cream, French fried potato curls, hot dogs, corn dogs, pretzels, fresh squeezed lemonade, Slurpee’s, and the list goes on from there. I was lucky enough to be part of the Health and Wellness booth presented by Naperville’s Chamber of Commerce! Handing out goody bags to those who were not familiar with the Chamber brought awareness that there are more people out there concerned about their health then ever before. Being a fitness “freak” like I am it was so inspiring to see. Partnering up with my Best Friend Carla Linder-Mayer who also owns and operates Reality Fitness in Naperville we are bringing the fun to fitness. Like myself, Carla has had an amazing weight loss journey of her own. We call ourselves the over “300lb weight loss twins” because between us that’s what we have lost. We will be training and conducting weight loss motivational groups at Reality Fitness starting as soon as Tomorrow. We walked in the parade with shirts on announcing our weight loss and handed out flyers inviting everyone to join us for fitness and fun. It was so neat to see how many people congratulating us on our success. Join us and we’ll be doing the congratulating when you reach that
goal that you set. no matter what that goal. Come see us at Reality Fitness 39 W. Jefferson Naperville IL. 630-357-7087
Getting Ready for the Parade. Reality Fitness where your Fitness goals become Reality.

Hi Everyone! Here is the wrap up from the Biggest Loser 5K/15K. See the full article here>>>

The Chicago 5K/15K was a star-studded day packed with inspiration. Perfect weather highlighted the inaugural Biggest Loser RunWalk Chicago on August 4, 2013, as thousands of runners and walkers from 44 different states hit the pavement in The Windy City. Scenic views of lake Michigan graced the course as participants sported their orange Biggest Loser RunWalk running shirts through 3.1 or 9.3 miles.
NBC’s Biggest Loser Trainer, Dolvett Quince, and many former contestants were present at the race cheering on runners and walkers alike. Season 14 winner of “The Biggest Loser,” Danni Allen, was on the start line microphone motivating participants as they crossed the finish line. Among the other names that were present included Season 14’s Francelina Morillo, Jeff Nichols, Jackson Carter, Pam Geil and Season 5’s Dan and Jackie Evans.
Quince, in normal Biggest Loser fashion, pushed people to finish strong at the finish line, high fiving and helping those who needed it.
“I’m in Chicago to support everyone here,” said Quince. “It’s all about inspiring people to keep moving and stay motivated.”
When asked what is your one piece of advice for the RunWalker’s, Quince stated, “Everyone should have a goal.” Every particpant had a goal in mind that day, many of crossing the finish line or completing their first 5K.
For one woman, it is reaching personal goals and helping others achieve theirs. Marge Lyse from Naperville, IL was one of 5 women featured in the People Magazine Half My Size Issue January 2012. In 2001 Lyse weighed 378 pounds, and needless to say, the scale was headed in the wrong direction.
Today, Marge is proud to report that she’s lost half her body weight and has had her story appear in People Magazine. Since the magazine, she has been seen on The NBC Today Show, Chicago Tribune, WGN, Windy City Live and NBC in Chicago.
To date, Lyse lost 212 lbs and is constantly fighting those last 5 or 10 lbs. She has not only kept the weight off but she has concentrated on building muscle and reducing her body of fat.
Lyse has run four Biggest Loser RunWalks this year and is inspiring people to follow in her direction.
The Biggest Loser RunWalk Chicago was one of her favorites. “It was beautiful weather and meeting the past contestants along with Dolvett was awesome,” said Lyse. This will be a memory she will keep close to her heart.
The former contestants and their old trainer and friend spent the day paying it forward, giving an extra pep in the steps of runners, walkers and everything in between.
