Values
This dynamic father/daughter duo
believes the quickest way to inspiration
is through perspiration.

O

ne of the highlights at the 2010 Congress and Exposition in Minneapolis, Minnesota, may be the opportunity to lace up your sneakers and
meet two of the city's local celebrities, SunShine and O'Neal Hampton, who
will be kicking off this year's annual 5K Fun Run/Walk. Having lost a combined total
of 300 pounds since their debut on the hit NBC show " The Biggest Loser, " the father/
daughter duo has made maintaining their new healthy lifestyle their biggest priority,
and they continue to inspire thousands of others to do the same along the way.

A former Green Beret in the U.S. Army, O'Neal
had always been the athletic type until an injury
nearly debilitated him. Limited in his ability to be
active, he quickly gained weight, ultimately topping the scale at 398 pounds. " Unlike most people
who have a weight issue, I didn't grow up heavy, "
he says. " I was in perfect shape. I played football,
I wrestled, and went into the service. Then I hurt
my knee and was 50 percent disabled, needing a
hip and knee replacement. That's when I gained
weight. I knew I needed to turn my life around,

but I didn't let my injuries stop me or use them as
an excuse not to get healthy. I've lost a total of 180
pounds to date. "
O'Neal endured rigorous daily workouts and
followed a strict diet while America watched him
on TV, but still, his biggest challenge came after
leaving the controlled environment of the show, he
says. " When you get back into real life-going to
work, paying bills, running errands, living life-
that's where you face the same problems that got
you here in the first place. "
