When \u201cJamie Oliver\u2019s Food Revolution<\/a>\u201d launched on ABC, the UK native set out to change the way people eat in what has been dubbed \u201cthe fattest city in America,\u201d Huntington, West Virginia. But when he appeared on the \u201cLate Show with David Letterman,\u201d Letterman told him his mission was hopeless. The White House recently declared war on childhood obesity. There\u2019s no doubt we have a battle on our hands\u2014but is it already lost?<\/p>\n

\u201cNot even close!\u201d say Phil Parham<\/a> and Amy Parham<\/a>, stars from NBC\u2019s \u201cThe Biggest Loser<\/a>.\u201d Combined, Phil and Amy lost more than 250 pounds on the hit TV show. Viewers related to the Parhams immediately, as their struggle with weight was\u2014like it is for most people\u2014more than just about food.<\/p>\n

Years before \u201cThe Biggest Loser,\u201d the Parhams felt life had spun out of control. Phil had lost his mortgage broker business after his partner left. Along with financial problems, the Parhams faced the challenges of raising a son with autism. Like many, they turned to food for comfort and neglected their health as they struggled to cope. \u201cEvery day felt like hell on earth,\u201d says Amy.<\/p>\n

Once things finally began to settle down, Phil and Amy determined to conquer their weight problem. And they did! They went on to lose the highest percentage of weight of any married couple in \u201cBiggest Loser\u201d history to date. Now, the Parhams are sharing their journey to healthy weight loss and helping others to achieve similar goals with The 90-Day Fitness Challenge. Their brand new book and DVD will encourage those fighting the \u201cbattle of the bulge\u201d to transform their lives and fulfill their dreams of being healthier and happier. Along with cooking and exercise tips, they emphasize practical food plans, changes in eating habits, and development of an active lifestyle.<\/p>\n
