Bodybuilding.com In The News

Scottsdale, AZ – August 24, 2009 - Bodybuilding.com, the Internet’s most-visited bodybuilding and fitness site and largest online retailer of nutritional supplements, has named Lizzy Ostro of Scottsdale, Arizona their Transformation of the Week. Since 2002, Bodybuilding.com has recognized the remarkable dedication it takes to make a truly inspirational transformation, and has made a point to reward those who inspire others.

“To highlight amazing transformations, we wanted to take the time to feature those who inspire us on Bodybuilding.com. We share these personal transformation stories with our readers. By sharing the diet and training used to achieve transformation, these motivational stories show people everything they need to know on how to create the body of their dreams for themselves,” says Bodybuilding.com CEO Ryan DeLuca.

Even though Lizzy Ostro had been working out for over a year, she still didn’t have the body she knew she was capable of having. By finally committing herself to fitness and setting her sights on an upcoming NPC Western Regional’s Bikini Competition, she was able to lose those last 13 pounds and drop 8% in body fat.

How did Ostro do it? She straightened up her diet and started eating clean foods, allowing her to eat more and still drop the weight. In order to keep from getting bored, she varied her training with a mixture of weight training, rock climbing, boxing, cardio, running, and wakeboarding. By following this routine, she took home a 2nd place win at her recent competition.

“The only diet and exercise program that works is the one you stick with. Eating clean, wholesome foods has been the best change I have made in my life. I feel better. It fuels my workouts, keeps my blood sugar stable, and has helped me to lean my body out quite a bit,” advises Ostro.

For these reasons, Lizzy Ostro has earned the title of Bodybuilding.com Transformation of the Week.

Matt and Suzy Hoover — their names may ring a bell. The couple is known for their appearance on the NBC reality series, The Biggest Loser, and made headlines when they first won the weight loss competition, and then were married shortly after meeting on the show.

Now they are endorsing an Eastern Idaho doctor.

The two have since kept the weight off and are launching a new website today about optimal health, and they believe Dr. Warren Willey from Pocatello has the answers to shedding stubborn pounds.

Dr. Warren Willey is a board certified osteopathic physician trained at the Mayo Clinic, is the medical director of the Physicians Immediate Care in Pocatello, a competitive body builder who writes for bodybuilding.com, founder of Idaho’s walk-in weight loss program, and last but not least, an author of two best-selling health books.

Tom Yates has been a patient of Dr. Willey for two years now.

Tom Yates/Patient of Dr. Willey:  “I don’t know if reading the books or knowing him saved my life, but it definitely gave me some longevity, and it gave me a higher quality of life.”

And now his health books are making even more of an impact as winners from NBC’s reality show, The Biggest Loser, Matt and Suzy Hoover, have read his books and want to share Dr. Willey’s health approach with the launch of their new website.

Warren Willey, Author and Doctor:  “Matt Hoover called me up. He found my book in the local book store and read it. I talked to him for about an hour. The emphasis of our conversation was the reality of weight loss, what really works in the long run.”

The books focus is on optimizing health and muscle mass, and no more yo-yo dieting.

Warren Willey: “To get word out a little more that hey, weight loss is a lot more than calories in and calories out, exercising your butt off and eating like a bird. It’s a big picture thing.”

Tom Yates: “You can only run so many ways on a treadmill and they’re all horrible. But when you start getting results it makes it less horrible. So that was the difference. Not that I changed what I was doing from a physical aspect, but from a mental and emotional, and then from a diet aspect, I changed those things and it put it all together.”

Tom Yates: “Makes me feel like the things I’m doing now will allow me to have a quality of life with my daughter in the future. When she’s 16 or 17 years old, and she’s doing things, I don’t want to be the dad that’s not able to do stuff with her. Not the guy that’s sitting home because I’m winded from walking.”

You can find Dr. Warren Willey’s books at Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, and in his office at the Physicians Immediate Care in Pocatello and Chubbuck.

The website launched by the Matt and Suzy Hoover is www.bodyevolution.com.
