Losers are winners

Hello workout friends!
This week our segment takes on a new theme - success. Many of our workouts have been meant to inspire YOU ... now meet two women who inspire US.

Lyndee Underbakke and Molly Fairchild wanted to be contestants on The Biggest Loser, Season 10 but didn't get picked. It didn't stop them from starting a routine aimed at getting fit. Their goal - losing a combined 320 pounds. The two have been friends for years so it was no surprise that when Lyndee got engaged, she asked Molly to be in her wedding. And that's how the lifestyle change started. "Well, it started out as a quest for the dress!" Lyndee says with a laugh. As if the quest isn't hard enough, it was torture for these two because nothing fit. "I was gonna have to lose something to be in the wedding," Molly explains.

Weight has been a problem for Molly and Lyndee for most of their lives. "People talk about, back when i was skinny or those are my skinny pictures,"Molly says with a shrug, "I don't have those." The women knew it was finally time to do something about it and they decided to do it together. First, they altered their diets. Then they joined Aspen Athletic Clubs and started training with Scott Kauffman. "The clients I see leave here with written program," he explains, "so we work out and then they know, here's what you need to do two times before next Thursday."

Molly and Lyndee admit that at first the workouts seemed impossible but not they can't wait to see what Scott will dish out next. With his help they've lost more than 100 pounds and 80 inches! They post their successes, and failures on a facebook page called "Send Lyndee and Molly to Biggest Loser Season 10". They hoped it would help them make it on the show but now it serves as an outlet, and keeps them accountable. They hoped to draw a few hundred fans and ended up with more than three-thousand at one point!

The hard work is paying off. At Lyndee's wedding, the gals looked beautiful. Even more important, they feel fantastic.

We're going to be touching base with Molly and Lyndee periodically, but if you want to track their progress on your own, find their facebook page.

Here's to a healthy week!
