The Biggest Winners


Today I was lucky enough to meet Jerry Lisenby and his lovely wife, Lynne at Super Walmart in Marshfield Missouri.
Let's face it-in the Ozarks everything important happens at Walmart-ha ha

Jerry was a contestant in 2007 for Biggest Loser.

He was the oldest contestant ever at the young age of 62.
He also lost the most weight in a single week in the show's history-31 pounds

He and Lynne, his beautiful wife of 40 years are partaking in a 5,100 mile-cross-country bicycle ride to raise funds for The Children's Home in Peoria Illinois.

If you would like to follow the couple on their trip across the country -you can check out Jerry's blog at http://www.jerrylisenby.com/


I thought one of the funniest answers I got from Lynne when I asked her if the trip was going slower than expected because of the weather.

She answered,"No, it's going slower than expected because we are old."


What a wonderful couple and a wonderful cause!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
