Donate My Weight is a team effort and while Ben has to lose the weight himself,
he's got an excellent support system to help him along the way. Misty Jaymes, Ben's good friend and an extremely knowledgeable person trainer, has
been with Ben since the beginning of Donate My Weight and helped him achieve
great results throughout 2008.
Misty first learned about Donate My Weight after reading a story in the local newspaper and felt compelled to help however she could. She brings to the team her years of training experience, a proven track record and a whole lot of enthusiasm, along with a strong desire to give back to the community.
In May of 2009, Ben welcomed a new member to the team, well-known health advocate and 'The Biggest Loser' finalist, Kelly Minner. Kelly gained international fame when she was chosen to be a contestant on the first season of 'The Biggest Loser.' During her time with the show, Kelly dropped from 242 lbs to 163 lbs, then lost another 23 lbs after the season finale.
Kelly knows all too well, the rigors and stresses that go along with losing a large amount of weight in the public eye. She's also got the advantage of being personally trained by the legendary Jillian Michaels and like Misty, she's committed to helping the community. Both Misty and Kelly share Ben's philosophy of a healthy weight loss with no gimmicks. There will be no quick-fixes or diet 'secrets,' just old-fashioned counting calories and basic exercises that Ben can incorporate into his daily lifestyle.
