Meet the Bod Squad

We are a group of people of all ages, from all walks of life, from all over the world. We hope our site will challenge, motivate, and inspire you to live the best life you possibly can! We’re in the trenches with you!

ABBI

Abbi, 26, the fearless leader of the Bod Squad, was born and raised in Nebraska, attended college in Georgia, and now resides in Oklahoma. She is engaged to Andrew, whose daughters, Sierra (9) and Mesa (6) inspire Abbi to be a healthy role model. Although her days are spent working at a desk as a graphic designer, Abbi enjoys traveling whenever she gets the chance. Her goal is to lose weight and tone up in time for her May 29th wedding!

ALI

Ali, 24, lives in Edmond, Oklahoma with Brad, her husband of six years, and their two beautiful daughters, Lily (3 1/2) and Sadie (2). Ali is a stay-at-home mom who also works part time as a hairstylist. She enjoys scrapbooking, cooking, and hanging out with her family. Ali has recently lost 32 pounds and is trying to lose the last 10 pounds by eating healthy and working out.

ALISA

Alisa, 26, is a world citizen to the extreme: born in USSR, raised in Kazakhstan and Moscow, grew up attending school in America, and graduated from Seattle University. For the past 3 years she has been living in Asia, first Shanghai and currently Taipei, Taiwan. In July of 2008, Alisa got married to the greatest guy on the planet and considers herself one lucky mail-order bride. She is a belly dancer and is looking to become healthier, both body and mind, without losing her precious curves.

KATHERINE

Katherine, 25, is a single gal living in beautiful Savannah, Georgia. She works full-time as an Aquatics Manager for a country club and attends graduate school full-time for Recreation Administration. These commitments keep her busy, along with trying to have a social life. The weight has packed on over the years and her goals are to slim down by losing roughly 75 lbs of fat while gaining muscle tone. She is also trying to cut out fast food and sodas while adding in more fresh foods.

KRISTIN

Kristin, 28, grew up in Los Alamos, New Mexico, went to college in Colorado, and has now lived in Albuquerque for nearly 8 years. She oversees the 23 “non-athletic” activities in the state of New Mexico and adores her job. She is also a full time graduate student working towards her masters in Educational Psychology; Thesis writing should commence in the spring of 2010! Kristin has struggled with weight loss for most of her life, and is ready to “nip it in the bud” once and for all. She is looking forward to making the lifestyle changes that will help her reach and maintain her goals (as opposed to just dieting).

LISA

Lisa, 29, lives in Oklahoma with her two young children, Mikah (4 1/2) and Gavyn (2) and her husband Chris, to whom she has been married since August of 2002. When she’s not busy working as a receptionist, Lisa enjoys crafting (but somehow never seems to finish a project), reading, and hanging out with her family. Lisa’s goals are to eat healthier, lose 10-15 pounds, and tone up.

MIKIE

Mikie, 28, lives in Oklahoma City, where she was born and raised. Mikie holds a theater degree and teaches online. She is almost finished with her Master’s degree in behavioral studies. As a newlywed, her overall goal is to have children, which will require her to be in better physical health, both to physically carry the children, and to be a good mom. Outside of work, Mikie is an active member of her church’s congregation.

ZOE

Zoe, 26, spent the first 18 years of her life in Indonesia, moved to Georgia to attend college, and now resides in Seattle. She is married to Kris, her husband of 2 years, and has 2 cuddly pups, Apple (2) and Duke (6). Spending most of her adolescence as a competitive international gymnast, Zoe learned early on the discipline that comes with healthy eating and exercise. When she is not designing hotels, she likes to travel, snowboard, cook, and hang out with friends. Zoe wants to regain the discipline she used to have, make healthier decisions, and see positive changes in her body. Her ultimate goal is to fit into all of her cute jeans.
