Transformative weight-loss stories can start to sound the same after a while. Someone got motivated, they started dieting, and then they hit the gym hard. But every now and then there's a super inspiring journey that grabs your attention and really gives you pause. That's exactly the backstory for Ronnie and Andrea Brower, the powerhouse couple who lost a combined 578 pounds.

After getting married on May 13, the couple has made headlines for their tale of love and health. They met shortly after Ronnie started documenting his weight loss journey on a public Facebook page called 600 lbs to Success (which has since garnered more than 19,700 likes). Inspired by his mission, Andrea reached out about her own goals. The pair immediately hit it off and have since worked together to stay on track.

"We just kind of helped each other through the journey," Andrea told People.com. "Towards the end, we were really each other's support system, along with our trainers Nick and Jill."

At his heaviest, Ronnie weighed 675 pounds. For Andrea, that was 250 pounds. Today, they have both reached their fitness goals (Andrea has lost 120 pounds and Ronnie a cool 458) but continue to workout side-by-side at the gym.

So what exactly did they do? Both followed a strict ketogenic diet, which consists of the following restrictions: low-carb, high-fat, moderate protein, and vegetable-centric.

When he first started working out, Ronnie would simply lift his arms while sitting, then he'd get up out of a chair and sit back down repeatedly. From there he started going to the gym and worked out for three hours per day. As a result, he lost 100 pounds in the first 100 days.

Both Ronnie and Andrea enlisted the help of personal trainers to help push them through workouts, remain on a schedule, and tailor exercises to meet their goals. But the couple also made it a priority to hold each other accountable and still do. Instead of relying solely on their trainers, they encouraged one another every day.

Healthy eating and gym time remain major priorities for the duo. "I need to work out to keep healthy for me, her, and our marriage," Ronnie told Today.com. And Andrea agreed. Even if that means late nights on the treadmill, or dragging their partner to the weight room when they've had a bad day.

However, Ronnie stresses, there is no quick fix or simple solution. "People come to me all the time, asking for weight-loss advice," he told the New York Post. "I just tell them there's hope out there. If you want it bad enough and put your mind to it, anybody can do it."

Brand extension is a risky business. For all the celebrities and TV personalities who have successfully launched lifestyle and fashion brands-- Oprah Winfrey, Martha Stewart, the Kardashians--many more have failed to spin their names into business enterprises.

Health and wellness is a particularly rich market for celebrity brands right now, which may explain why Gwyneth Paltrow has continued to build out her Goop lifestyle brand.

Tracy Anderson, fitness guru to the stars and a celebrity in her own right (Paltrow was one of her earliest clients and, now, her business partner), is the latest to attempt to grow her brand beyond her cult Tracy Anderson Method into the larger health and wellness sphere.

Credited for sculpting Paltrows pert posterior and Madonnas sinewy arms, Anderson has parlayed her fitness regime into an exercise empire with seven studios and hundreds of thousands of devotees who swear by her workout DVDs and live-streamed classes on her website.

But to hear Anderson tell it on her new SiriusXM radio show, she is mostly just a five-foot-tall, 42-year-old mother of two who is really interested and passionate about health and wellbeing--not just physcal health and wellbeing, but spiritual and emotional wellness too.

Just as Paltrow introduced her Goop brand to the conference industry (she hosted her first-ever In Goop Health wellness summit two weeks ago outside Los Angeles), Anderson has launched a new platform for brand growth with a weekly, one-hour radio show that debuted on June 19.

Its the mass-market-friendly answer to In Goop Health: while Paltrow gathered all of her Goop-contributing experts under one roof during her summit for a luxury, interactive experience, Anderson interviews influencerson her SiriusXM show and invites listeners to call in with questions and stories.

After starting her exercise program in smalltown Indiana where shes from, Anderson went on to amass an endless list of diehard celebrity clients in Los Angeles (Jennifer Lopez, Stella McCartney, Donna Karan, Christy Turlington, Courteney Cox, Naomi Campbell, and Lena Dunham, among others).

Anderson's career took off when Madonna and Paltrow began raving about her. Her relationship with Madonna soured after she toured with the singer, but shes managed to remain close with Paltrow.

Indeed, Andersons first guest on the debut episode of her radio show is none other than Paltrows "Conscious Uncoupling" expert, Dr. Habib Sadeghi.

Anderson credits Sadeghi for helping her navigate her second divorce (I was under so much emotional stress...I couldnt even swallow food) in a gushing introduction, which Sadeghi reciprocates with a fawning soliloquy about how much he admires Andersons commitment to empowering women through her fitness regime and communicating with them from a place of humility and compassion.

They go back and forth like this for several minutes, before Sadeghi--prompted by Anderson--goes off on a semi-intelligible tangent about how he came to learn that healing is a complex process.

What follows is a disjointed hour of overpraise and opportunities for Anderson to plug her brand and name-drop celebrity followers and famous friends (Dunham and Paltrow, who gets several mentions) while chatting with influencer guests, including Victorias Secret model and fashion designer Alessandra Ambrosio.

Ambrosio explains how she got hooked on the Tracy Anderson Method (Im Brazilian so all I want to do is work on my booty); the importance of finding time to exercise as a working mother (as a model I need to be in top shape always); and the inspiration for her fashion brand (her Brazilian godmother was a seamstress).

Yawn.

Anderson is a radio host in the vein of Delilah, dispensing advice and ooey-gooey platitudes, except the language and subject matter is mostly New Age nonsense. Anderson is also an amateur: far from being a skilled conversationalist, her interviews are punctuated by awkward silences and nervous giggles.

Theres plenty of room for improvement, of course, but radio is a bizarre platform for growing the Tracy Anderson brand. Anderson is hardly compelling as a mind-body fitness guru when we cant see her impossibly toned body.

Rebecca Burger was a French fitness blogger and competitor with more than 150,000 Instagram followers. According to a cautionary Instagram post written by her family, a pressurized whipped cream dispenser exploded, hitting the 33-year-old in the thorax and sending her into cardiac arrest Sunday.

"This is an example of the whipped cream siphon that exploded and hit Rebecca's thorax, leading to her death," her family wrote under a photo of a metal device. "To be clear: The dispenser that led to her death was sealed. Do not use this type of utensil! Tens of thousands of defective devices are still out there."

Burger's fans and followers flooded her social media accounts with messages of disbelief and mourning. Burger often shared photos of her travels, fashion and food. Women's Best, a fitness company that often partnered with the model, posted a tribute to Burger, calling her a "beautiful soul."

In one of her last posts, Burger posed, smiling, and reflected on all she had accomplished.

"A beautiful day has come to an end," she wrote. "A lot of trips coming, and new projects. I realized I should sit still right now and reflect on everything I've already accomplished and what I'm about to experience. I tell myself, life is good.

"We don't have any control over time so make the absolute most of it."

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork)Some former convicts are sharing fitness secrets they learned behind bars to help people get into shape.

Behind a jail cell door on the Lower East Side, CBS2s Alex Denis found a dimly lit gym without any equipment. Instead, theres a prison-style boot camp taught by ex-cons.

Coss Marte developed the ConBody program while serving time at Rikers Island for leading a multi-million dollar cocaine operation.

This is actually the same corner were on, and its the corner where I started selling drugs, he told Denis. It went back to full circle.

He shed 70 pounds in just six months inside his 9 foot by 6 foot cell.

I took the same idea, same program from the prison yard and started taking it to the streets, local parks, and eventually here, he said.

Class goers take off their shoes before they hit the mat for the body-weight-only class. A mixture of cardio, strength and partner work make up the 30 minute high-intensity classes.

While getting healthy is the goal, ConBodys mission is broader.

Fitness is one of the binding components, said instructor Sultan Malik. Were trying to break down stereotypes.

Theyre bridging the gap between formally incarcerated people and young professionals.

I love the whole idea of it, having this whole business. You can see it in the intensity of some of the trainers, Kristina Papilion said.

All of the instructors had a tough time getting hired after their time in jail. So the gym gave them the opportunity to move on and start over.

If you want to try it out, classes cost $20.

The United Nations wants everyone to have the chance to be fit and healthy regardless of ability or disability, and its trying out its ideas at ACAC Fitness & Wellness Centers.

The local health club has joined the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization to test a program that trains staff to attract and serve more people with disabilities.

UNESCO decided that as a world, a country and a community, we need to reach out to persons with disabilities to help them with wellness, said Kelly Kyriacopoulos, director of ACACs Physician Referred Exercise Program.

Everyone knows they need exercise, just like everyone knows that smoking is unhealthy. A lot of times the problem is that someone with disabilities feels self-conscious about being in a club situation, she said.

The program, Universal Fitness Innovation and Transformation, or UFIT, is being tested in four health clubs across the country, including ACACs location at Albemarle Square and its club in Timonium, Maryland.

UFIT programs also are debuting in Ireland and Peru. The programs include specialized training for personal trainers and club managers to serve those with Parkinsons disease, cerebral palsy, intellectual disabilities and spina bifida.

ACACs program will focus on aiding Parkinsons patients and those with intellectual disabilities. The lessons learned, Kyriacopoulos said, also apply to those with other disabilities.

We have a lot of the training in place already and we serve a wide variety of people, she said. UFIT is a different tack, but its really not that great of a stretch for us.

Tom Vandever is executive director of the Charlottesville-based Independence Resource Center, which helps people with disabilities live as independently as possible. He said the program is welcomed.

In the last 10 or 15 years, there has been a lot of innovation in providing accessible training facilities, but most of it has been at municipal levels, said Vandever, a former mayor of Charlottesville. As critical as the technical aspect of providing training is, embracing the concept that everyone should have access is even more critical.

Critical is a word researchers often use to describe the need for exercise programs for the disabled.

People with disabilities are three times more likely to have heart disease, stroke, diabetes and cancer than adults without disabilities, according to a report by the Public Health Institutes Center on Disability.

Nearly half of all adults with disabilities get no aerobic physical activity, wrote James Rimmer, a professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Adults with disabilities who get no physical activity are 50 percent more likely to have chronic diseases than those who get the recommended amount of physical activity.

Rimmers research noted that people with disabilities have a long history of being excluded from planning programs and services that directly affect them. That includes health and exercise programs.

Once aware of the gap, often non-disabled experts, program planners and other professionals will attempt to develop, implement and evaluate program activities to rectify the situation, he wrote. Unfortunately, these efforts can have unintended consequences.

Vandever said adapting exercise regimens to meet physical abilities and setting goals are crucial. So is providing a supportive environment.

If you have a marathoner in a wheelchair, you still train for endurance but you focus on upper arms and upper body strength, Vandever said. That can be done with machines or even barbells, which are very adaptable. The main thing is to have an environment thats accepting so that the athlete feels comfortable training.

Kyriacopoulos noted that ACAC has long offered programs designed for seniors and those with arthritis, as well as classes for Parkinsons patients.

More and more medical research shows the benefit of exercise and gross motor movement in slowing the progression of Parkinsons and for improving quality of life, she said. That was a major factor in selecting this group for the [UFIT] pilot program.

For Larry Hofmann, a Parkinsons patient who has been a member of ACAC for five years, the program has proved perfect.

They try to make working out fun, he said. If I want to swim, I can swim. If I want to play basketball, I can play basketball.

Hofmann said he has worked with physical therapists at the center to improve his balance.

For me, balance is a problem. The therapists did some research on it and showed me some exercises and followed up with me to make sure I had them right, he said. Thats made a big difference. I can come in here and not feel intimidated.

ACAC chose to focus on Special Olympians, as well as Parkinsons patients, in an effort to improve health and fitness among the intellectually disabled.

With UFIT in place, it will be easier to offer more Special Olympians an opportunity to learn about exercise and improve fitness levels, said Kyriacopoulos. My daughter is a Special Olympian, so this group is particularly close to me. I know firsthand the impact that regular exercise can have on their lives.

The UFIT program at ACAC features a 12-week club membership for $199.

We want to work on it and we want to get it right, Kyriacopoulos said. Our goal is to find out what their goals are. The key to success is finding something they like to do. If they enjoy it, theyll come back and make it a part of their lives.

Just as important, she said, is making people feel welcomed.

Its not so much what is here for some people as what is not here, Kyriacopoulos said. A lot of people think of athletic clubs as people in great shape, lifting weights and wearing yoga pants, but its really about getting out and getting active, finding the incentive to do it and doing it in a safe environment. Thats what we offer.

We want to have an environment thats open and accepting, Vandever said. When I see ACAC embracing this, Im thrilled.

PLAINFIELD Rate increases and repairs are on tap for the popular Plainfield Town Hall pool, a facility which was nearly shuttered this year to save money.

Beginning July 1, visitors to the 100-year-old pool will see across-the-board user prices jump as recreation officials work to make the municipal pool a self-sustaining facility.

We previously took in about $65,000 annually in fees, said Myra Ambrogi, the towns recreation director. In order to keep it running, we need to bring in $110,000 a year, which these price changes will do.

Ambrogi said prices for all pool-related programs will rise under the new plan. A thrice-weekly exercise class will increase to $150 from $90, while swim lessons jump to $75 from $50.

The prices have not quite doubled in some cases, she said. The hope is people around here feel its worth the cost to keep this pool open.

On Thursday, Killingly resident Ted Blanchette took part in his regular water exercise program.

Ive been coming here for more than 20 years, he said. This is not an amenity to me, but a necessity. And I am definitely prepared to pay more to keep it open.

Plainfield officials earlier this year briefly considered closing the pool, a move predicted to save roughly $117,000. But a public outcry led leaders to find savings in other town accounts. The town is moving ahead on replacing of a failing pool dehumidifier, the money for which was set aside from the 2016-17 budget, First Selectman Paul Sweet said.

We estimate itll cost around $100,000 for the new equipment, and weve met with two manufacturers so far, he said. After the project is bid out, we could begin installation in September.

The work is scheduled to coincide with the pools annual maintenance shut-down, during which peeling paint will be refreshed, the water will be drained and the empty pool will be steam-cleaned.

We want to do this all at the same time, so theres only one period when the facility is closed, Ambrogi said.

Sweet said the town has been vigilant about making regular repairs and upgrades the facility.

We added in UV lights, change out pumps as they age and replaced a lot of steel pipes with plastic, he said.

A few weeks after a skiing accident in February left her paralyzed from the hips down, 16-year-old Sierra OLeary received a text from a concerned Rivendell Academy friend who asked if shed ever walk again.

I dont know, OLeary responded. Nobody knows.

But this much OLeary does know: Its way too early to give up.

After completing nine weeks of therapy at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston, OLeary could have returned home to Fairlee and got on with life as a paraplegic.

But at the urging of her parents, Robert OLeary and Susan Gyorky, Sierra has stayed in Boston and continued to push herself so she might some day walk again. At Spaulding, the family heard about a nonprofit organization called Journey Forward that works with people who have suffered severe spinal cord injuries.

OLeary spends two days a week at Journey Forwards gym in Canton, Mass., going through the paces of an intense exercise program aimed at getting her back on her feet.

Its not inexpensive, however. The sessions cost $100 an hour and are not covered by insurance. Her most recent bill came to $1,600. Her parents put it on a credit card.

Last week, I sat with Robert and Susan on the back deck, which was recently outfitted with a wheelchair ramp. Theyve looked into looked into renovating an upstairs bathroom to make it wheelchair-friendly and installing an elevator to their daughters second-floor bedroom.

But theyre holding off.

Do we fix up the house so Sierra can move back home? Robert said is a question they wrestle with. Or do we spend money on Journey Forward so she might walk back into the house someday?

In my gut, I know shes going to be able to walk again.

Sierra tried downhill skiing for the first time during Rivendells school vacation week in February. Her older brother, Jeremy, an experienced skier, took her to the Dartmouth Skiway in Lyme.

Sierra seemed to get the hang of the sport quickly. By the last run of the day, she was ready to strike out on her own. Ill meet you at the bottom, she told her brother.

But shortly after they got off the chairlift, Sierra took a wrong turn onto a steep slope, where she quickly picked up speed. I hit an icy patch, she told me. Im not entirely sure what happened after that.

Apparently, she lost control and hurtled into the air, landing hard on her lower back. When the ski patrol reached her, she said her legs felt locked up.

Susan, a registered nurse in Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Centers cardiac catheterization lab, was at work when her husband called. Robert, whos been a stay-at-home dad and has done odd jobs ranging from substitute teaching to waiting on tables, had just heard from Dartmouth Skiway that his daughter had suffered a back injury. An ambulance was taking her to DHMC.

Hospital tests showed that Sierra had suffered a traumatic spinal cord injury. The good news was that she still had feeling in her legs.

Sierra underwent a 12-hour surgery for a burst fracture of the first lumbar vertebra in her lower back. Afterward, she could still move her legs.

But 36 hours later, she took a sudden turn for the worse. She had lost feeling in her lower body and no longer could move her legs.

After two weeks at DHMC, Sierra was transferred to Spaulding, where doctors speculated that inflammation around the injured area was causing her paralysis. Spinal shock, they called it.

After the inflammation subsides, some patients have been known to regain their mobility, doctors told Sierra and her parents.

But it can take months, sometimes years.

Theres been a slow realization for Sierra that this wasnt something she could quickly bounce back from, her mother said.

Thats where Journey Forward comes in. It gives her something to be fighting for, Susan said.

The exercise regimen is meant to keep Sierra from losing muscle strength and bone density. That would increase her chances of regaining mobility, if the inflammation diminishes.

In one exercise, I pull myself up (on a bar) and someone holds my hips so I dont fall, Sierra told me over the phone last week. Standing up is kind of painful, mostly in my back.

I dont know if its going to work, but I might as well try.

Shes also joined a Boston-area YMCA that offers programs for the disabled and is undergoing outpatient therapy at Spaulding to learn how to navigate life from a wheelchair.

Shes living with her grandmother, who has a condo in a building equipped with an elevator, in Quincy, Mass. Her parents spend a lot of time driving back and forth to Boston, taking her to therapy sessions and bringing her home on weekends.

As news of the familys ordeal spread, offers to help poured in. Along with providing meals, people have volunteered to care for Sierras younger sister, Sofia, and watch the familys Siberian husky, Quincy.

Parish Players, a community theater group in Thetford that Robert has been involved with, donated the proceeds from its Fathers Day matinee. Fred Allard, a nurse who works with Susan at DHMC, organized a Sprint for Sierra fundraising event on Saturday at Rivendell.

A family friend started A GoFundMe crowdfunding campaign on Facebook to help with Sierras expenses, such as Journey Forward, that insurance doesnt cover.

Were lucky, compared to some people, her dad said. We live in a community that cares about us.

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh fielded questions during some down time at the Michigan elite camp on June 23, 2017, in Ann Arbor. Video by Mark Snyder/DFP

In April, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh spoke toDetroit coachesaboutfullback Khalid Hill and offensive guard Michael Onwenu needingto lose weight.

Two months later, both players moving in the right direction.

Theyre making strides, Harbaugh said Friday after the U-M elite high school camp.

Theyre coming along. Not yet (where Harbaugh wants). Getting there though. But thats the process. As a coach, youd like to have them a little bit faster. They understand now that things have amped up and theres heat out here and these workouts are more strenuous, just how important it is for them to be in great shape.

If youre not in great shape, no matter how courageous youare as an athlete. It makes cowards of us all when youre fatigued and out of shape. ... That realitys getting in there.

The April comments cut right to the two players and what they need to accomplish.

Theres no question (Hills) talent right now, his ability to catch the ball out of the backfield, block, he is a complete package as a fullback, Harbaugh said at the time. I dont know where hes eating though. Hes finding somewhere else to eat other than our cafeteria because he keeps gaining weight.

Michigan fullback Khalid Hill, right, laughs during a visit of Villa Borghese in Rome on Sunday, April 23, 2017.(Photo: Romain Blanquart, Detroit Free Press)

Though Harbaughdidnt list a figure for Hill, who was listed at 263 pounds on last season's roster, offensive coordinator Tim Drevno said in April that Onwenu was 372 pounds. Onwenu, expected to challenge for a starting guard position,was listed at 350 pounds on last year's roster.

Harbaugh did not offer updated figures Friday.

21 day rule: Harbaugh has a pretty good idea what his incoming freshmen football players will be experiencing the next few weeks.

Adjusting to college academics and football workouts are the obvious challenges. Getting comfortable with living on their own is another entirely.

The process really begins being together on a daily, weekly, monthly, yearly basis, Harbaugh said Friday. And also to start the process of this being their home. Ive always felt that it takes 21 days to be acclimated to a new home. So in many cases, it started today. Take 21 days, circle that on the calendar three weeks out and thats when they should feel this is their new home.

Its a theory honed over his football life, as a son of a coach, a college and NFL player and coach himself, there havent been strong roots. His six years at Michigan as a teenager, then his five more as a student, are the longest he has lived anywhere. Given all the times he has moved four stops before college in Ann Arbor and then 11 since in his playing and coaching career Harbaugh has adjustment down to a science.

He knows what to tell players when they begin to have adjustment issues. Michigan had 11 freshmen arrive in January and, at some point during those 21 days, the staff talked to them about getting comfortable.

Whether they came at the midyear or whether they came yesterday or today, this is the very first time theyve come with mom and dad and then the car went home and they werent in it, Harbaugh said. And thats an attack on the nervous system that has never taken place before. Theyre in unchartered waters. So there is that process and giving them the tools, the tips, the advice what they should do next is what we did then and well be doing now.

Although a talented cricketer, he had been drawn to medicine, cardiology in particular, due in part to the death of his older brother at 13 from heart failure, caused by a virus.

Amit, who was two years older than me, had Downs syndrome and he taught me about compassion. His death was just bad luck, but it had a real impact on me.

Both of their parents were GPs; in fact his father later taught Dr Malhotra to cook, meaning he enjoyed a reputation at Edinburgh University where he began medical studies, as the guy who cooks the best chicken curry. He adds: But I didnt appreciate how impactful and important food was to health. And we didnt learn anything about it at medical school. I always ate dessert and chocolate.
