Before After Afters

These men and women have continued to sustain the results they achieved, whether they first completed Body-for-LIFE one year or eight years ago. Find out how they lost fat, gained muscle and transformed their unhealthy habits, for life.


Edith Odoms

After a stroke and a broken hip at the age of 90, Edith Odoms had trouble getting around and found it difficult to do simple tasks like opening her front door or climbing up stairs. Her sister and daughter were becoming increasingly concerned about her well-being and decided to help her to regain her health.

In 1999, they told her about the Challenge and she decided to go for it. During her first 12 weeks, Edith made amazing progress. She didn’t stop there. Edith has continued to improve her physical fitness and become more healthy and active. Five years later, Edith still goes to the gym five days a week to work out with weights, walk or go to her martial arts class.

"I’m 95 years old and there are a lot of things I have learned about taking care of my body," Edith says. "I watch where I step, never give up, and condition my mind and body with positive thought, exercise and nutrition." Edith is an inspiration to many.

"I enjoy living, and have a lot of friends," Edith says. "My mission is to help others keep going; and if I was just sitting in a rocking chair I wouldn’t last very long. My goal is to reach 100. When I get there, I’ll set a new goal."


Years Edith has kept the weight off: 5 years
