Sign up for our newsletters! Bob Greene In February 2007, Bob
and six specially selected participants kicked off the Best Life
Weight Loss Challenge on The Oprah Winfrey Show . Three months
later, the challengers returned to the show to reveal how much
weight they've lost so far. Now, Bob talks to Bob, Melissa and
Tracy about their journey and the progress they've made.
Melissa admits that getting weighed on national television in
front of millions was a nerve-racking experience—but she says it
was totally worthwhile. In fact, Melissa says that being on the
program has changed her life. "It's just been a huge awakening
for me," she says. "I'm a different person, there's a different
energy about me, I'm taking more risks. … I feel like I'm
getting stronger with every week that goes by."  Tracy also says
she's experiencing some big changes in the way she looks and
feels, both inside and out. She says seeing images and video of
her former, larger self is motivating and rewarding as she moves
closer to her goals
