Meet Our Top Male and Female Winners From the Scales of Justice

For the second year in a row, iSatori Technologies and Stephen Adele challenged Colorado Law Enforcement Agencies to "get on the Plan"... to build great-looking muscle, lose as much bodyfat as possible, and develop a renewed sense of strength and confidence.

Over the course of 12 weeks, 110 participants took on the challenge and followed Stephen's Lean System Success Plan , and together, they lost a staggering 2,244 lbs of bodyfat!
Meet the 2007 winners below and find out how you can do it too!

Darlene Garber; City of Thornton Fire Department 

When Darlene joined the fire department just two years ago, she was a petite 5'2", 115-lb female. But it didn't take her long to start fitting in like one of the guys. Unfortunately, that meant her nutrition plan was dominated by hamburgers, two-layer chocolate cakes, cookies, etc.—in the same portions as her 6'2" male counterparts.

Darlene started noticing that her body was changing—in fact, she had gained 18 lbs and struggked to find the energy she needed for her 24-hour shift. But she shrugged it off—after all, she could still pass the yearly fitness test, and her results were similar to her previous tests. So it couldn't be all that bad.

Then she overheard a Lieutenant on the force say, "Boy, she's gained a little weight since she's been on." She was horrified.

Luckily for Darlene, two weeks later, she came across a poster at the fire station advertising iSatori's Scales of Justice contest. The Challenge was just the right motivation for her to make a change and regain her energy and strength, as well as her confidence on the job.

"And as a result, Darlene lost 21 lbs of fat, 14% bodyfat, and five inches off her waist!" 
She soon found herself surrounded by support. Her new husband, in fact, didn't just support her but joined her on the Challenge, making it doubly fun! Her two children became her greatest cheering section, encouraging her to stick to her plan every day. The rest of the force also supported Darlene, even making her healthy treats.

That doesn't mean Darlene didn't face obstacles. As a firefighter, she's found that the community often shows its appreciation in the way of food. One day she came to work to find nine gallons of ice cream in the freezer, three grocery size sacks of Starbucks pastries, two kinds of cookies on the counter, and three bags of chips.

She was tempted for sure, and on days like that, she really depended on the support of her team to help her stay on track. But stay on track she did. And as a result, Darlene lost 21 lbs of fat, 14% bodyfat, and five inches off her waist! 
 
In addition, she's gained an incredible amount of strength. When fully equipped with her gear, air pack, and tools, she carries more than she weighs. So it's clearly helped her better do her job. Plus, cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of firefighters, and by improving her cardio health with intense workouts, she knows she's doing what she needs to do to live a longer, healthier life.

The change in her physique also allows Darlene to be more confident in the job she does. "I know I'm stronger and look and feel better and am healthier than I probably ever have been," she exclaims. "What a feeling to know I was able to do this because of the iSatori Challenge and products I took, take, and now recommend, including Eat-Smart� , Lean System 7� , H-Blocker , and 3-XL ."

For her spectacular results, Darlene was crowned the overall female winner and won a dream vacation at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, where she can show off her new, fit, healthy body. Congratulations, Darlene!

Lewis Padilla; Denver Police Department 

Big Lou, as he's known, had experienced some pretty big setbacks when he it came to his health. He was involved in an accident and had to go through back surgery and then tore his rotator cuff. He stopped exercising, due to the pain, but this just reduced his mobility and flexibly further. Add in the weight he had gained, and even his knees started to hurt. A 42-year-old man shouldn't feel this way!

He decided to go to a chiropractor and found the results encouraging. Little by little, he started getting his life back. He even joined a basketball league, but his back pain began to plaque him again, and he had to quit.

That's when he decided to enter the first iSatori Scales of Justice contest, only to drop out due to the nagging back pain. Big Lou admits that he didn't follow the plan, though. He enjoyed lifting big. Lifting heavy. And forget boring cardio! Nutrition? Why bother? He'd burn off the fat in the gym.
The second round would be different. Lou vowed to stick to the plan outlined in the Lean System Success Plan and started using some of the supplements recommended, including Eat-Smart� , 3-XL , and H-Blocker .

"...after losing 26 lbs of fat while gaining 10 lbs of muscle, he now holds his head up high." 
In the first few weeks, he started to actually gain weight! But undeterred, he decided to just stay away from the scale and step up his intensity.

Then one day, some friends of his at the gym told him that he looked like he was "getting dialed in" (i.e., in shape). His body was slowly changing before his and their eyes. And some of the exercises he was doing, like extensions, were strengthening his back. He could even squat again—though with light weight.

Lou had never thought before that he could transform his body so much in so little time. But after losing 26 lbs of fat while gaining 10 lbs of muscle, he now holds his head up high. He even enjoys compliments from the guys he has to arrest. He's heard more than once that his requests would be complied with because of his physical appearance!

"My goal every day is to go home safe, and thanks to iSatori, I know my chances just got better," Lou shares.

Big Lou's results earned him the honor of being the first place male winner in the Scales of Justice contest. And he too was rewarded with a trip to Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Great job, Lou!
