WELCOME BACK TO THE FINALE OF OUR MISSION MAKEOVER SERIES.
13 WEEKS AGO OUR LADIES EMBARKED ON A JOURNEY TO TRANSFORM
THEIR LIVES.
IT'S TIME NOW TO SEE THEIR RESULTS.
AND FIRST I'D LIKE TO BRING IN OUR PANEL OF TOUGH LOVE AND ENCOURAGING EXPERTS.
LIFE COACH AND DOCTOR JESSICA LEON.
(APPLAUSE) GREAT TO HAVE YOU.
SO GOOD TO SEE YOU.
YOU TOO.
ALRIGHT WE ALSO HAVE NUTRITIONIST AND WEIGHT LOSS SPECIALIST, MERLY BRANDWINE.
(APPLAUSE) HOW ARE YOU?
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
AND LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST.
WE LOVE HER!
OUR TIRELESS TRAINER ADRIANA MARTIN.
(APPLAUSE) HEY!
FANTASTIC!
OK, I WANT TO BRIEFLY TALK ABOUT THEIR JOURNEYS AND THEIR CHALLENGES
FOR THIS SEASON AND DR.
JESSICA, I WANT TO TALK WITH YOU.
YOU SAW THEM REALL UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL.
TELL ME ABOUT THAT.
YOU KNOW, I KNEW FROM THE MOMENT THAT I LAID MY EYES ON THEM
THAT THEY HAD SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL IN THEM.
AND THEY HAD MOTIVATION AND PERSEVERANCE.
BUT FOR EVERYBODY ELSE.
SO, IT WAS SO INCREDIBLE FOR ME TO HELP SHAPE THE WAY THAT THEY THINK ABOUT THINGS
TO SEE HOW IMPORTANT THEY ARE AND THE VALUE THAT
THEY HAVE FOR THEMSELVES.
WELL, DID YOU NOTICE A SIGNIFICANT LIKE MIND SET
CHANGED THROUGH OUT THE SEASON?
I DID.
YOU KNOW, FOR ME WHAT STANDS OUT IS WHEN I CAN SEE THEM TAKING A DEEP BREATH
AND IT'S KIND OF THEIR AH HA MOMENT.
AND FOR THEM TO RECOGNIZE AS WELL AS WHEN THEIR LANGUAGE AND THE POSITIVITY
IN THEIR LANGUAGE AND HOW THEY SHIFT SOME OF THEIR THOUGHTS.
THAT TO ME, I KNEW, THAT THIS IS WHAT THEY NEEDED TO ACTUALLY TO GET THAT LEAP
FORWARD SO THAT THEY CAN FIND THOSE TRIGGERS AND THEN SAY I GOT THIS.
I CAN TAKE CARE OF IT.
MERYL, I WANT TO TURN TO YOU.
YOU SET THEM ON THE RIGHT NUTRITION PATH, RIGHT FROM THE START.
SO IMPORTANT RIGHT?
IT'S TREMENDOUSLY IMPORTANT.
THEY CAME IN, EACH ONE OF THEM HAD AN IDEA OF WHAT THEY
THOUGHT WAS THE RIGHT DIET.
AND SO WHAT I WANTED TO GET OUT OF THEIR HEADS WAS THE WHOLE DIET MENTALITY.
AND REALLY EXPLAIN TO THEM THAT IT WAS THE PROCESS AND I WATCHED THEM AS THEY
DECIDED TO MAKE BETTER CHOICES AND UNDERSTOOD THAT THE FOOD WAS ACTUALLY NOURISHING THEIR
BODY.
AND WHAT IT MEANS TO EAT REAL FOOD.
IT WAS AMAZING TO JUST WATCH THEM REALLY GET A GRASP OF THAT IN THEIR HEAD.
WHAT DID YOU SEE AS THEIR BIGGEST CHALLENGE?
I THINK GETTING AWAY FROM THE DIET MENTALITY.
RIGHT OR WRONG.
YOU KNOW, GOOD OR BAD.
I WANTED TO JUST HAVE THE TAPE IN THEIR HEAD.
AND WAS REALLY A PROCESS FOR THEM.
THAT THIS IS HOW THEY NEED TO EAT FROM NOW MOVING FORWARD.
THEY ARE NOT GOING ON THIS DIET AND OFF A DIET.
THIS IS WHAT THEY NEED TO DO FOR THE LONG TERM.
GREAT.
ADRIANA, I WANT TO TURN TO YOU.
YOU SAW THEM THE MOST FREQUENTLY.
YOU'RE THEIR TRAINER.
HOW PROUD ARE YOU OF THESE GIRLS?
THEY ARE AMAZING.
AND A LOT OF THE TIMES, LIKE PEOPLE, SAY WOW ADRIANA,
GREAT JOB!
AND HONESTLY, ALL YOU CAN DO AS AN EXPERT AND I'M SURE YOU GUYS CAN RELATE,
IS YOU CAN PROVIDE THE INFORMATION.
BUT IF SOMEBODY'S NOT READY AND IF SOMEBODY'S NOT GOING TO IMPLEMENT
THEN YOU KNOW, OUR INFORMATION IS NO GOOD.
SO AT THE END OF THE DAY, OUR SUCCESS DEPENDS 100% ON THEIR
BEHAVIOR AND THEIR ACTIONS.
AND THEIR CHOICES.
I MEAN, THESE WOMEN DID IT.
THEY DID IT.
AND IT'S JUST, I'M A PROUD MOTHER, WHAT CAN I SAY?
(LAUGHS) BUT IT'S SO EASY TO HIT A TRAINING PLATEAU.
HOW DID YOU GET THEM THROUGH THAT?
I THINK THAT A LOT OF THE TIMES THAT IT'S MENTAL.
YOU KNOW, THE MENTAL ASPECT OF WEIGHT LOSS IS
OFTEN OVERLOOKED, YOU KNOW?
AND YOU GET SO CAUGHT UP IN THE SCALE.
HOW MUCH WEIGHT DID I LOSE?
HOW MANY POUNDS DID I LOSE?
AND THE BODY, IT'S A DIFFICULT THING.
YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW HARD YOU'RE WORKING.
YOUR BODY STOPS LOSING WEIGHT.
AND I THINK, WHAT HAPPENS TO MOST PEOPLE IS THAT THEY GET DISCOURAGED
SO THAT THEY STOP.
AND ALL I SAY IS THIS, YOU HAVE TO KEEP PUSHING THROUGH.
YOU HAVE TO KEEP PUSHING FORWARD.
BECAUSE EVENTUALLY, YOUR BODY IS GOING TO ADAPT.
SO, YOU KNOW YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE THAT PUSH, BUT YOU ALSO MENTALLY HAVE TO
UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'VE GOT TO TRUST YOUR BODY.
AND I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN TO EACH OF THEM,
AN INSPIRATION.
(APPLAUSE) AFTER THE BREAK, THE BIG REVEAL!
SO STAY WITH US.
