Lezlee Jones: 1999 Champion

Lezlee Jones was going through one of the most painful times in her life. Her 6-year-old son had just gone through surgery to remove a benign tumor in his head, making Lezlee, her husband and three children realize the importance of health more than ever.

Lezlee started the program to be an example to her children about the importance of living a healthy and active life. She kicked off her new life with a positive attitude, believing she could accomplish anything.

"My self-esteem was based on past failures," Lezlee says. "I had to change all of that and start believing in myself."

In 12 weeks Jones went from 151 pounds and 33 percent body fat to 125 pounds and 16.9 percent body fat, becoming a 1999 Champion. One year later, Lezlee had dropped even more weight and reached her goal of 115 pounds and 11.4 percent body fat. For the past five years, she has remained at her goal weight.

"The changes that I have made are permanent; it is a lifestyle change," Lezlee says. "I surround myself with like-minded people and we inspire each other."

Today Lezlee uses her success as a platform to help others. In addition to her career as a hair stylist, Lezlee runs a personal training facility out of her home where women from her neighborhood can come and exercise in a friendly and helpful environment.
