Melissa "Turbo Kicks" her way into USA Today!

Left to Right: Me, Melinda, & Melissa

A good friend of mine, Melissa Dilling, was recently interviewed for her amazing results with USA TODAY Weight-Loss Challenge. She lost 25 pounds in 4 months - YOU GO GIRL!!!

Melissa and I do Turbo Kick created by the fabulous, Chalene Johnson, together on Tuesday nights (led by the super awesome Rachel Tyson!) - it's my fave part of the week! She has done an awesome job of sticking with her weekly workout routine & using her Bodybugg to keep her accountable on her calorie intake.

Here's the article for more info on how she's been so successful:
