BLR Valentine's Story: Where Are They Now?

The Amanda and Kenton Story

Kenton and I were initially friends when we met at The Biggest Loser Resort. During our stay we created a bond that only we could share—we saw each other at our worst and observed each other power through our battle for a healthy lifestyle. Our usual setting of working out and sweating was not the most romantic situation. On Sunday, our group decided to leave BLR to go shopping at Target. Seeing each other in a different social setting started the chemistry between Kenton and I.

After our lunch outing, we quickly fell in love and started talking about how we could make a relationship work even though we lived nine hours away from each other. We decided that the distance wouldn’t stand between us. BLR helped us find the perfect relationship we had always been looking for. We also met a bunch of wonderful people and even created a small group of friends that we still keep in touch with.

The Biggest Loser Resort has taught us to find a happy medium because weight loss is in fact a lifestyle change and it has to be something you can stick to. Before we came to BLR our lives were quite unhappy for the most part. We were both in unhealthy relationships that helped contribute to our weight gain. We were just going through the steps of life rather than actually living it. Now, we go on adventures together, work out together, and support each other on our journey. We both have our struggles from time to time, like any person does, but we are able to help and support one another through those times.

We will be returning to BLR in June for our one year anniversary. Our time at The Biggest Loser Resort was a phenomenal experience that we will remember for the rest of our lives!
