WE FAIL HARD. WE SUCCEED HARD

Jessica Limpert and Ramon Medeiros transformed their bodies and lives on NBC’s The Biggest Loser.” And they kept the weight off while they worked as celebrity trainers at the “Biggest Loser” resorts for a few years. But as time passed the now-married couple gradually regained the weight as they tried coping with complicated emotions they still had about their bodies. So, when they were asked to appear on their 2nd reality show “The Big Fat Truth” Jessica and Ramon were all in, and very successful. Then their post-show roller coaster ride started again with Jessica getting to 358 LBS and Ramon 385 LBS. Having been thru two reality shows, too many diets and exercise plans to mention, they considered weight loss surgery but felt unsure. Like others, they thought surgery was “the easy way out.” “Once I educated myself and I realized that it doesn’t matter how much knowledge I have. It doesn’t matter how much motivation I can gather every day. I need more,” Limpert said. “I needed a tool that can help.” So they took the leap in January 2021 undergoing vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) and not only have they settled into a weight they can live with, a major change that has come from their journey is a whole new mindset and sustainable lifestyle. And the best part of their story is they’re soon to be parents.
