Freeland, MI Woman Wins $50,000 for Losing Weight, Adding Muscle and Changing Her Life
Date:3/10/2008

ated even by strangers. "People ask me all the time, 'How do I get a body like yours?' People are invariably astonished when I tell them my age: 'You're 47 and have had 3 kids?' What is important to me now is not looking good in a bikini but sharing and helping others to achieve a healthy lifestyle."

Not content to just become healthier, Melanie has continued to build muscles and sculpt her body. After two rounds of P90, she kept challenging herself. She also uses Turbo Jam in the morning for extra cardio. "I joined a gym last spring and no one could believe that I got as 'ripped' as I am from just doing a workout DVD," she exclaimed.

Melanie has become more adventurous through her metamorphosis. She has gone skydiving, cliff jumping and wall climbing and has completed several triathlons. Presently, she is raising money for leukemia/lymphoma while training for an Olympic length triathlon in honor of blood cancer patients. She's also in the process of getting her personal trainer certificate and a Master's degree in education.

Her transformation has not only improved her life -- it may have saved it. In July 2007, she survived a terrible car crash. "I thought I had broken my neck," shuddered Melanie. "The medical personnel who rescued me said that it was because I was in such fantastic physical shape that my body withstood the impact."

Looking back on all she's been through, Melanie keeps seeing herself in her butterfly tattoo. "Sometimes, when I see pictures of myself I still can't believe it's me," she said. "I've shed my cocoon. I love being a vibrant butterfly and I plan on soaring to even greater heights!"

Like other winners, Melanie's story is available to inspire others. Web visitors can follow her experiences at http://www.MillionDollarBody.com.
