Twin Challenge
They walk alike and they dress alike, but these twin sisters are each taking a different route to a better body. "We're identical twins and together we are going to lose 25 pounds," Janie enthused.
Let's size up the competition: at 5-feet-9-inches, weighing in at 162 pounds, Jodi chooses to get lean with liposuction. "I know that this liposuction is going to be able to contour my legs and stomach and waist and that's what I'm looking for," she told us.
Also at 5-feet-9-inches, weighing in at 155 pounds, Janie's journey will take her to the gym. "I think I can get leaner and toner, and kind of sculpt my body a little bit more," she insisted. "Working with a personal trainer, I think it would just take me to that extra level."
Fitness model T.J. Hoban and Beverly Hills liposuction specialist Dr. Garo Kassabian are stepping in as our "Extra" experts. Trainer T.J. tackles Janie's target areas, including her arms, tummy and thighs with his personalized low-carb program.
"It's a three-part program that consists of obviously the exercise regimen and also the diet guide and nutritional supplements," T.J. told us.
Dr. Kassabian starts his sculpting with lipo on Jodi's love handles and inner and outer thighs. He'll finish up by removing fat from her stomach and around her knees.
After two hours in surgery and an hour in recovery, Jodi was glad the pounds were behind her. And Dr. K was more than satisfied with the suctioning. "She's going to have a superb result," he told us.
Meanwhile, Janie told us, "I didn't realize it would be so difficult working out six days a week. Planning meals is a fulltime job."
But four weeks later, it was time to weigh in the results. Janie, the work-out twin, shed almost three inches from her bust, two inches from her waist, one inch from her hips and a whopping 12 pounds.
Jodi, who chose liposuction, lost three inches in her bust, cinched two inches off her waist, reduced her hips by two and a half inches and shed an impressive 14 pounds.
It looks like they both came out winners.
