Pekkanen embarked on this two-year project with a personal sense of need. Because of a congenital heart defect, he has been plagued for much of his life with health problems that require medical attention.

Like Bentley, who dropped from 140 to 108 Ibs., Christine changed drastically: her shoulders got wider and she trimmed inches off her hips. Says she: "I always had a weight problem before I started training. Now I can eat all I want and stay thin...
