WELCOME BACK TO THE FINALE OF OUR MISSION MAKEOVER SERIES.
13 WEEKS AGO OUR THREE LADIES EMBARKED ON A JOURNEY TO TRANSFORM
THEIR LIVES AND IT'S TIME NOW TO SEE THEIR RESULTS.
FIRST, THOUGH, I WOULD LIKE TO BRING IN OUR PANEL OF TOUGH LOVE
AND ENCOURAGING EXPERTS.
OKAY LADIES, I WANT TO ASK EACH OF YOU BRIEFLY HOW YOU
THINK THEY ENDURED THE CHALLENGE AND I WANT YOU TO BE HONEST
WITH ME, LET'S START WITH YOU FIRST, DR.
GABY.
THE MINDS THAT THEY HAD IN THE VERY BEGINNING OF THEIR
JOURNEY EVOLVED DIFFERENTLY TOWARD THE MID PART AND THE
END PART, AND RIGHT NOW THEY'RE ENCOUNTERING THE END OF A
JOURNEY AND THE BEGINNING OF A NEW ONE.
WELL, TRACI, YOU SET THEM ON THE RIGHT NUTRITION PATH, HOW DID
THEY DO?
I THINK WE HAD SOME STRUGGLES EARLY ON BUT WHAT I'VE BEEN
TRYING TO INSTILL IN THE LADIES IS THAT IT'S A LIFESTYLE CHANGE.
IT IS NOT A FED DIET AND I THINK SLOW AND STEADY WEIGHT
LOSS IS THE KEY TO THEIR SUCCESS.
I AGREE.
ADRIANA, YOU SAW THEM THE MOST OFTEN, FREQUENTLY, UM,
HOW DID THIS GO FOR THEM AND FOR YOU?
IT'S HARD WORK, YOU KNOW, WORKING OUT, TRAINING AND
NOBODY SAID IT WAS GOING TO BE EASY BUT THEY DID IT AND THE
RESULTS ARE AMAZING.
OH, THEY ARE.
AND LISA, YOU STYLED THEM, YOU SAW THEM AT
THE BEGINNING, WHAT WAS YOUR ENCOUNTER LIKE WITH THEM?
MIDWAY THROUGH WHEN I FIRST MET THEM THERE WERE DEFINITELY A
COUPLE OF MELTDOWNS AND SOME FRUSTRATION FOR THE LADIES.
BUT NOW, WE'VE GOT THREE BRAVE, CONFIDENT WOMEN.
AND IT'S TIME NOW TO MEET OUR LADIES.
THEY SAY 70 IS THE NEW 50, HERE WAS BRENDA SELNER
BEFORE THE JOURNEY.
(MUSIC) LET'S SEE BRENDA NOW.
(APPLAUSE AND ACCOLADES).
OH MY GOSH!
I'VE GOT TO GIVE YOU A HUG!
OH WOW!
LOOK AT YOU!
HI TEAM, HOW ARE YOU?
(MUSIC).
NOW YOU JOINED US LATE, YOU'VE LOST 22 POUNDS IN JUST 7 WEEKS,
HOW DO YOU FEEL.
I FEEL GREAT, I FEEL ENERGIZED WITH A LOT OF SUPPORT.
I'M MORE AWARE OF WHAT I CAN EAT
AND WHAT I SHOULD DO AND HOW I SHOULD EXERCISE.
NOW, I KNOW YOU LOVE YOUR WINE AND YOUR SWEETS.
I DO, I DO.
WAS IT HARD TO GIVE IT UP?
I DIDN'T GIVE UP THE WINE, WHAT I DID IS I...ADDED CLUB
SODA TO IT AND I JUST SORT OF DID NOT DENY MYSELF AND SO I
JUST CUT THE CALORIES THERE, BUT I DID ENTIRELY GIVE UP THE
SWEETS.
YOU LOOK SOPHISTICATED...
THANK YOU...
YOU DID A GRAT JOB.
OKAY, NEXT WE REVEAL THE YOUNGEST OF THE GROUP, THIS
WAS FORMER DANCER ALEXANDRA ARGUELLO BEFORE.
AND HERE SHE IS TODAY, ALEX!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERS).
OH, YOU LOOK FANTASTIC!
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
(MUSIC).
SO, ALEX, AFTER 13 WEEKS YOU'VE LOST ALMOST 26 POUNDS
BUT YOU WOULD PROBABLY ADMIT YOU WERE YOUR OWN WORST ENEMY
THOSE FIRST 6 WEEKS, WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT?
YEAH, IN A SENSE I REALLY THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO COME A
LOT EASIER AND I REALIZE MY HEAD WASN'T IN IT, SO IT TOOK
A COUPLE OF WEEKS FOR ME TO GET ON BOARD, BUT NOW EVERYTHING
IS FULL STEAM AHEAD.
AND I DON'T EVEN CONSIDER THIS A FINALE FOR ME, I CONSIDER IT
A BEGINNING, IT'S A NEW CHAPTER OF MY LIFE, IT'S A NEW LIFE STYLE
AND I'M JUST LOOKING FORWARD TO THE FUTURE AND HOW I'LL LOOK 13
WEEKS FROM NOW.
GOOD FOR YOU!
ALL RIGHT, LASTLY WE MEET OUR FIERY LATINA, BLANCA VARELA,
SHE BATTLED DEPRESSION AND DIABETES AND THIS WAS HER
BEFORE THE JOURNEY.
(MUSIC) AND HERE SHE IS 13 WEEKS LATER, BLANCA!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERS) HI EVERYBODY.
OH MY GOSH!
HELLO PRETTY LADY!
OH MY GOODNESS.
(MUSIC).
A STUNNING TRANSFORMATION, ALMOST 50 POUNDS, EXACTLY HOW MUCH?
ABOUT 51.
51 POUNDS!
HOW DO YOU FEEL?
I'M DOING AMAZING, THE DIABETES IS GONE.
YOU'RE KIDDING!
COMPLETELY GONE.
YES!
(CLAPPING).
ALRIGHT, SO THAT'S WORTH IT RIGHT THERE.
SO, IT'S VERY EXCITING, AND I HAVE A LOT MORE ENERGY.
AND YOU SAY THE JOURNEY CONTINUES FOR YOU, TOO?
OH, I'M NOT DONE.
OHHH.
I AM SO NOT DONE.
YOU LOOK GORGEOUS AND WE WANT TO THANK KOHL'S FOR THIS GORGEOUS
WARDROBE, REALLY YOU LOOK FANTASTIC.
THANK YOU.
