My Hero of the Week


O'Neal Hampton had a very bad week. First, he injured his knee during a challenge, and had to be taken to the hospital. Upon his return to the Biggest Loser ranch, he learned his older brother had died from cancer. Yes, it was a very bad week.

O'Neal age 51, told trainer Jillian Michaels that in the past, he would have dealt with the enormous flood of emotions he was feeling by medicating himself with food. Not this time. O'Neal cried, he peddled the spin bike like a madman, and punched the shit of of a punching bag. O'Neal decided he was there to change his life, not give in to stress and temptation. Happily, he had a 10 pound weight loss for the week, taking him one step closer to the final four. Unfortunately, the only photos I can find of O'Neal are at the beginning of his weight loss journey. He looks a little different 119 pounds lighter.

Way to go, O'Neal. You have no idea how much you inspired me this week!
