What an AMAZING, emotionally charged year it was with sweet Cassie!! This pretty lady overcame SO many personal obstacles and self-esteem issues during her transformation year, and it was such a privilege to watch her conquer them all! Her transformation – both physically and emotionally – was just remarkable, and I am so beyond proud!
After one of our most emotional episodes yet, we just had to share what’s new in Cassie’s life, and she was kind enough to update us on where she is now AND on her awesome EWL transformation in this amazing, amazing, video! Thanks so much for sharing, Cassie! Enjoy, everyone!!
I just had to include some behind the scenes pictures of our journey with Cassie, and I love looking back and seeing her gradual transformation from picture to picture! I think the progress she made is not only evident in the way she looks physically, but in her countenance as well. And I can see that light in her get brighter as the weeks progressed and as true happiness came back to her after she worked through the personal, private struggles she talks about in the video. I always say you can’t just work on the outside, you HAVE to work on the inside or the transformation won’t stick! You can clearly see from Cassie’s enthusiasm and determination that she has fully grasped this concept because she puts in a noticeable effort to work on herself daily from the inside out.

This episode with Cassie meant the world to me. It touched me down deep in my heart. I have over 100 pounds to lose and have not been able to get my head on straight to focus on food choices. I am a compulsive overeater, binging and right now am limited as far as exercise. I had shoulder surgery and also have arthritis in my knees. I have been very depressed the last several months and it has continually gotten worse. I need this to change and I need to have positive people in my life to support me. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful story and giving me an inspirational backboard to use as a starting place. I love this show and have spent many nights watching it through tears. Way to go!
Carol hang in there. I too am struggling with my weight for years an suffer from depression an Anxiety. Know an want to loss weight but am having some difficulties. Cassie’s story really inspired me. My problem is I try too hard to do things perfectly an when I stumble I beat myself up an I feel like I failed. This story has finally made me see that this thought pattern is what’s holding me back…Soo know your not alone in your struggles. God bless an hang in there one day at a time…I’m going to try again! 🙂
Cassie I loved when you said you want to enjoy your life live you life! I hope to shed 100 more pounds so far 160 pounds gone. Supporting people to regain their health and shed unwanted pounds is the best so we have a lot in common. Thanks for your inspiration!
I agree with Tiffany – it would be an added benefit to have a place where we could ask questions and learn from each other while we are on this journey. Tiffany, I had a hard time cooking low carb so ordered this book “The Complete Low Carb Cookbook” by George Stella on Amazon. There are some wonderful recipes, very doable and in many cases are wheat free and no added sugar. Also, if you look online on the EatingWell website, there is a recipe called Southwest Quinoa Cakes that only has 2g. carbs and it totally tastes great – made them yesterday and tested on our grown sons…definite seal of approval!!
She’s one of the sweetest one’s yet, I’m so proud of you Cassie I’m so glad that your marriage a work out for you and i hope you can start your , family , how’s your son doing ,,, so happy for you
Just loved this episode so much. Grew up in Milwaukee (West Allis) and now live in Southern Utah. Was so much fun to see someone from my area on the show. I haven’t missed an episode yet. Was hoping you guys might start sharing people’s height as a part of the stats because, for example, 170lbs can look so much different on people depending on their height. I FIANLLY downloaded the audio of Chris’s book and excited to learn more about carb cycling. Wish they talked about it more on the show. I am currently 8 months Preggo and hit 205 this week. (5’7”) Have never seen the 200’s before, but know with the tools I am going to get from you guys it will be a fun journey to get back down to a healthy weight once our miracle baby is born. Sending you all well wishes as you move forward with this journey. Thank you for being an open book and showing the world all sides of who you are!!
Loved this episode as usual. I must have been living under a rock and had no idea about the book. On my list to buy, because my husband and I are about to start your carb cycling program. Do you have a blog related to the program in relation to breastfeeding? My son is 5 weeks today and I want to start making changes, but not decrease my milk supply. Any help would be so appreciated!

This episode was so beautiful and heartwarming… from Cassie’s weight loss journey to her being reunited with the son she gave up for adoption to her reconnecting with the husband whom she loved so much but was just as lost as she was. I truly wish her all the best! I absolutely love your show and I think you and Chris are such an inspiration to so many people. You truly save lives. I will NEVER stop watching!!!!
