In that moment she realized this was not about a dress size, this was about life and death. So, she set out to get in shape. She started by attending a free wellness class to learn about nutrition and health -- teaming everything from what a serving size is to how to snack appropriately. In time, she joined a health club and began to set goals for herself beyond losing weight. One of those goals was to do the Ironman Triathlon.Rosie O'Donnell heard about Molnar's commitment to a healthy lifestlye and was impressed by her Ironman goal that she had Molnar on the show after Molnar had lost 130 pounds and had participated in the Ironman.

Judy's book will reflect her story, philosophy and method and will include many of the moving Chub Club success stories.Judy Molnar is real. She is a big wo
