‘Makeover’ Star Previously Outweighed NFL Linemen
August 13, 2012
Last night’s episode of Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition featured the dramatic story of Sally Adams — a 45-year-old mother who was sidelined by an injury that put her in a wheelchair and caused her to balloon up to 352 pounds. We sat down with Sally to find out what finally made her realize she had to get serious about shedding the pounds.
Sally explains that her defining moment came one day while watching football on television and realizing her weight was out of control. “I saw that I outweighed the defensive line. It was that moment — and at that point I started looking for ways I could get some really serious help.”

August 13, 2012
Glass House – Monday, August 13th– 10:00 – 11:00 PM
After last episode’s shocking player swap and Joy’s elimination, Stephanie is over thirty-thousand dollars richer and out of the competition while Mike has re-joined the game and moved back into the house. With Erica and Gene in Limbo, who will America’s votes save next? Following the elimination of either Erica or Gene, two of the players will compete simultaneously in a challenge called “Peeping Players!,” where they must rappel down an apartment building in which each apartment is decorated as if previously eliminated contestants have been living inside. When they approach the bottom, the contestants must answer questions pertaining to their former “Glassmates’” apartments which they just saw. The contestant to answer all the questions correct in the fastest time wins. If the questions are not answered correctly, they must climb back up the building and rappel down again until they have answered everything correctly. Two contestants are sent into Limbo and it is up to the viewers to decide who is sent home permanently and who is voted back into the house and into the final week, on “The Glass House.”

“Secret Millionaire” and “Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition” both see boosts without Olympic trials competition.

Following an encore of America’s Funniest Home Videos, both series were up three-tenths of a point, each earning a 1.5 rating among adults 18-49. ABC averaged a 1.4 adults rating and 4.8 million viewers over its four hours of programming.

CliqueClack.com: Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition – Change Comes From Within
“This episode of Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition took us on a journey with Ashley, a 20-year-old cosmetology student who lives at home and weighs 323 lbs. Trainer Chris Powell surprised Ashley on her 20th birthday by whisking her away to the California Health & Longevity Institute to help get her life back on track. But it was clear that Ashley had more issues than just her over-eating.
In the two years that the show has been on the air, I’ve never seen someone have to deal with the family issues that Ashley had to deal with. When she and Chris returned from CHLI, her whole family was supportive (Chris made them sign a support contract), joining her during her workouts and even using the equipment when she wasn’t there. But by day 51, that support had evaporated, her mom complained about the exercise equipment using too much power and accused her of trying to make the family look bad by shooting video of the Thanksgiving food. She totally lost it when Ashley wanted to go for a 30-minute bike ride on Christmas. The stress of the situation was not helping Ashley lose weight — her 90 day goal was 80 lbs — and Chris was very concerned that she would not make her goal and get the reward: her own apartment (I’m curious to know who was going to pay for the apartment since Ashley had no job or really any income to even feed herself on her own). A week away from home in a hotel helped Ashley hit a double digit weight loss for the week, but she still fell short of her goal, losing only 68 lbs (still a good number though).”

DietsInReview: Ashley Johnson Loses 156 Pounds on “Extreme Makeover”
Sunday night America was able to witness Ashely Johnson’s extreme transformation that took a year to accomplish. With the help of Chris Powell, the trainer on ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition,” Johnson went from 323 pounds to 167 pounds on her final weigh-in.
Her journey wasn’t easy and she had to deal with challenges that included her family. They would bring junk food into the house and holiday meals were full of unhealthy entrees.
On the show she talked about trying to get her family to understand how they were making it difficult for her and they would reply that she just needed to have more willpower. Her family’s lack of support may be because Ashley was the only one in her family who struggled with weight. Arguments between Johnson and her mother also added to the stressful environment.
