Extreme Weight Loss: John!

>>John: Hi, my name is John Robinson, uh, cast member of season 5, EWL. >>Team Powell: What was most, uh, difficult part of your transformation? >>J: Getting into a routine and putting myself first, and realizing that I had to continue to do that, actually push my family to the back and keep myself, excuse me, in the forefront because I just realized that if I didn’t keep my schedule, if I didn’t keep my promises to myself, and keep moving forward that way, that I couldn’t do what I wanted to do for them. It was the hardest year of my life, thus far. I’ve never, losing my mother suddenly, to starting the show, to boot camp, injuries, and having chosen badly and getting kicked off, and having to move on from all that and still dealing with my mom’s estate, lawyers, job, work, kids, I just, you know, you feel like you’re gonna’ lose it. As hard as it was, uh, when you’re on the other side of it, I look back and I’m like, I wouldn\’92t change anything, because I don\’92t know if I would have as much success with going forward the normal pace, the normal way everything went, you know, I kinda’ feel good that I did it this way. I can help others do the same thing I did, because a lot of people think that, when they watch the show that, Well, if I had a year to do that, then, yeah, I’d be, I’d be in shape, yeah, you don’t need that.
