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.


Abb Ansley: 1997 Champion

In college, Abb Ansley was a fit and muscular athlete. After two decades of a busy schedule working and raising a family, he was left skinny and "soft," weighing in at 180 pounds with 20 percent body fat.

Ansley was ready to get back in shape and the Challenge provided him the "perfect vehicle and inspiration" to do so. After 12 weeks on the program, 50-year-old Abb gained 21 pounds of muscle and reduced his body fat to 10 percent. His physical transformation was so significant that he was named a Champion in 1997. He has added another 19 pounds of muscle in recent years while maintaining his low body fat percent. But his successful results were just the beginning of a larger journey.

"I believe that imagination and dreams fuel your willpower," Abb says. "Find inspiration for your transformation. Expect to be successful and enjoy the process. It is a mental exercise; your body is just the tool you use. Be clear about your goals and above all, be true to your exercise protocol–don’t miss your workouts."

Currently working for a charitable organization, Abb continues to advocate the program and enjoys sharing his tips to overcoming daily challenges and successfully accomplishing health and fitness goals.




Years Abb has kept the weight off: 7 years
