I am very proud of what I conquered throughout this challenge. In 2007, while I was suppose to be taking care of my wife during her prengancy, I instead was going through mulitple surgeries, radiation and chemotherapy to treat throat cancer. My wife was so supportive during my illness and throughout the Lean Body Challenge. Being named the winner of the Lean Body Challenge will be the best gift to my wife and son, who fought and accompanied me through it all.

Congratulations, Martin!

Most Inspirational

Jansing Scroggins
Most Inspirational
Santa Anna, TX

Jansing lost 21 pounds and 9.15% body fat during these last 12 weeks of the Lean Body Challenge.

Once in awhile, a special Lean Body Challenge candidate comes along that we feel has overcome amazing obstacles and made such positive strides in their life that they get our Most Inspirational award. We reserve this category for just a few candidates and it is a special award to us. This time around we had a Lean Body Challenge candidate who truly moved and inspired all of us.

In May 2006 at an incredible weight of 320lbs, Jansing had ahead of him a very long road. Indeed, the destination at the end of that road – the body he always wanted – seemed a World away .

Now, however, after completing the Lean Body Challenge, Jansing is quite literally, half the man he used to be. Weighing in at an incredible and lean 175lbs, he is forever removed from the person and World he once knew.

While available to all, Jansing Scroggins made his claim to The Lean Body Promise, and Lee Labrada delivered.

Today, Jansing Scroggins is half the man he used to be, and a bigger person inside and out than he could have ever imagined. Today, Jansing Scroggins is truly alive.
