Before & After

Jim Beech
Hometown: Sun Prairie 
Age: 61
Occupation: President/Owner of Marketing/Advertising Agency
I have a very positive personality. I like people and find everyone’s story interesting. I’m from the Midwest, but I have lived all over the country. I have been involved with sales and marketing in my career and now own my own marketing based advertising agency in Sun Prairie. I am divorced with three biological children and two step-children. I enjoy cooking and getting together with friends and finding the many joys in my life. You’ll find a smile on my face the majority of the time. I have spent most of my life fighting weight issues and wants to kick my weight loss into gear, while learning about proper nutrition and setting achievable and reachable goals. I saw the ads on TV and made the decision to apply for this opportunity. First, I do want to lose weight, feel better, sleep better and improve my daily life. Second, I want to compete because it keeps me pumped and drives me to achieve my goals. Thirdly, I want to inspire others and pass along what I learn to family, friends and anyone else that sees me and meets me. I also have heart disease and another major goal of mine is to keep this #1 killer of males under control.

I’m passionate about helping clients with their insurance and financial services and needs. I signed up to change my life. It’s my second year of major changes to do so. I quit drinking on October 16, 2010. Now I’m taking the next step. I also will be a grandfather for the first time soon. My daughter is pregnant with triplets, and I want to feel better, have more energy, look better and be happier with myself. My personal goal is to win it! My weight goal is 199 pounds. I’m looking to lose as much as I can during the contest and use the new life lessons and changes to lose the rest after the contest.

Scott Davis
Hometown: Sun Prairie 
Age: 37
Occupation: Outside Sales Representative for Callaway Golf Company
I have been married for 13 years. I have four great kids, ages eleven, nine, six and three. I love family time, sports and playing golf and basketball. I grew up in southern California. I graduated from Utah State University. I relocated to Sun Prairie six years ago. During my married life, I have lived in Utah, California, Iowa and now Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. I have been over weight my entire life. Like so many overweight people, I have always had a desire to be thin, but I struggle to make healthy food choices. It is so important for me to set/be a good example of health and fitness to my family. My number one goal is to lose weight, 125 pounds to be exact. Nine months ago, I committed to my wife I would run the Chicago Marathon. It will be her fourth marathon, and she wants to run this together. We thought it would be a fun way for me to get in shape. Well, on October 9th, she will be running the Chicago Marathon without me. So, another goal is to run a marathon with my wife.

Alisha Ayres
Hometown: Sun Prairie 
Age: 40
Occupation: Accountant
I live in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. I grew up in Pardeeville, Wisconsin. I’m married to my wonderful husband, Bill of 14 years. We have two beautiful children, Kayla age 7 and Caleb age 5. I’ve worked at Stevens Construction Corp. for the past eleven years. I have a wonderful family that I love dearly and many supportive friends. My boss, who participated in Madison’s Biggest Loser last year, approached me and told me about the contest. He told me if I was interested I should sign up. The deadline was in a few days. I thought about it and thought about how many times in my adult life I’ve tried to lose the extra weight. I decided that being part of a competitive team would be a great way to finally stay motivated and remove the extra weight once and for all. My personal goal is to lose 70 pounds. I also want to create new habits in exercise and healthy eating. I want to be able to run around with my children without getting tired. I want to inspire my husband and tell him he can do this too. I want to be a good role model to my children and teach them healthy eating and exercise habits.

Jeff McCabe
Hometown: Evansville 
Age: 33
Occupation: Development Analyst at DEMCO
I am a husband and father of three young children, Ella, Evelyn and Ewan. I’m a programmer at DEMCO. My family and faith are my life, but I also enjoy cheering the Packers, Badgers and Brewers. For the past few years, I have been steadily gaining weight so much that I’m unable to participate in many activities with my children. I can feel how unhealthy my current lifestyle is and wish to change it. I think that Madison’s Biggest Loser will be a great incentive for me to change my lifestyle, become more active and healthy and ultimately be able to enjoy my family for many years. I aim to create a mindset of healthy living, nutritionally and actively. I would love as a result of this program and mindset, lose as much as weight as I possibly can. A goal that I hope this program can help me achieve one day is to successfully complete an Ironman Triathlon.
