Phillip and Amy Parham (43, 42) were contestants on season six of NBC's "The Biggest Loser: Families" in 2008. During their season, they lost a combined total of 256 pounds. As a couple, they lost the highest percentage of weight loss of any married couple in "The Biggest Loser" history to date.
This is the beginning of their story. They have started a journey as a couple to promote wellness and fitness to members of the public across the country. Their new book, The 90 Day Fitness Challenge (Harvest House Publishers) addresses their journey to healthy weight loss and inspires readers on how to achieve similar goals. This faith-based, informative and motivational book will encourage those fighting the "battle of the bulge" to transform their lives and fulfill their dreams of being healthier and happier.
The couple has also developed their first DVD, The 90 Day Fitness Challenge bringing their inspiring, "you can do it" style on screen. Hitting stores June 1st, the inspirational videodisc emphasizes a step-by-step program which outlines continual progress. They present the "Challenge" in twelve short, 15-minute sessions (180 minutes total) detailing cooking and exercise tips that will help viewers maintain long-term results.
Part of the foundation of Phil and Amy's success were the weight loss principles they developed for themselves called the DREAM PRINCIPLE. This model of better health is based on five key messages they believe are most important to lose weight:
- Dream about what you want your life to be;
- Recognize where you are today;
- Eat to live;
- Activate your body;
- Make a difference in the lives of others.
