Growing up in small-town Wisconsin, Bob Brenner fed his addictions to food and football, becoming the biggest guy in his family of six siblings and on the defensive lines of winning team after winning team. Bobs size was an asset that he wanted to continue growing. Football carried Bob to the status of hometown hero on a college football team that he eventually coached. However, his education was all about pursuing his lifelong dream of being a police officer. Going into the dark underground of drug trafficking, Bobs size was an asset once again. He used it to thwart gun and knife-wielding murders and fool some of the scariest criminals into thinking he was just another sloppy, drunken drug dealer while he took them down. But the life was taking Bob down, too. His addictions to alcohol and food were out of control, leaving Bob in a morbidly obese 448 lb. body that couldnt even fit into his bulletproof vest. His marriage was falling victim to the double life. His finances were a wreck as Bob kept up an image worthy of a narcotics heavy hitter. His faith was nonexistent and his body wouldnt be around long enough to clean up any of it. Life on the edge pushed Bobs weight and his well-being over it. The adrenaline-infused tales of Bobs youth and his portentous career as a narcotics officer ultimately gave way to the spiritual journey and commitment to changing his physical appearance and lifestyle that transformed Bob into a man on the edge of Commitment, Love, Integrity, and Faith...life at the edge of the C.L.I.F

LIVE AN
EXTREME
LIFE!
Losing the Weight and
Gaining My Purpose

With Bob, this transformation is for good. Now, not to say he wont ever struggle, because we are all human, and life is a series of struggles and opportunities for growth. But Bob knows the secret behind transformation now. He cant un-know it. He grasped onto the secrets of true transformationnot just the numbers game on the scale. Simply put, Bob gets it.

~HEIDI POWELL, Transformation Specialist, Extreme Weight Loss

Bobs story has stuck with me ever since watching it on Season 3 of Extreme Weight Loss. Yes, his physical transformation was simply beyond words, but knowing how he would inspire countless others who can relate to his past struggles is the best part. The way he has embraced this lifestyle change with his C.L.I.F. mentality will speak to so many others who will find the motivation and inspiration to follow in his footsteps.

~DREW MANNING, Fitness Celebrity/Health and Wellness Coach

Bob was going to be a force to be reckoned with. Bob ended up tearing his ACL during camp but continued to work harder than anyone on the show. This, of course, inspired all of us to push ourselves and work to our maximum potential. I told myself, If I have two good knees and he is down one, I have zero excuses. I still couldnt keep up with him. He is such an amazing athlete and person, and the perfect person to have by your side when youre going through the hardest year of your life. Bob is always positive and honest, and he is the brother I never had. Im so proud of what he was able to accomplish and even prouder of the person he has become. I look up to Bob and love him and his family dearly.

~MEHRBOD MOHAMMADI, Season 3, Extreme Weight Loss

Bob is a person with a true positive character. We bonded on the show due to us having knee issues, going to physical therapy, and working out together. During that time, I learned how truly amazing Bob is. He is not only an athlete, but he is a man with an extraordinary heart. His character speaks for itself. He is genuine, honest, loyal, dedicated, hardworking, and straightforward. Bob is a tell-it-as-it-is person.

~CASSANDRA DUMAS, Season 3, Extreme Weight Loss

I was so encouraged by the message Bob Brenner recently delivered at my church, Legacy Christian in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. The week he delivered his message, I was right in the middle of leading a womens Bible Study, Made to Crave, about craving God more than food. His message paralleled so much of what we were learning, and I know my fellow Jesus Girls felt the same encouragement and empowerment as I did in hearing Bobs message. The transformation Bob shared with us was so much more than just a weight loss journey. It is a complete transformation of becoming the man God created him to be.

~FELICIA FROSCHMAYER, Christian Womens Leader

Bobs true integrity shone, as I had expected from my previous encounter, when he presented his life journey, specifically, the poor choices he had made because of his overcommitment to meaningless activity. He discussed thresholds he had passed, where he believed the point of no return had been crossed, as well as monumental challenges he overcame by finally making the correct commitments in life. He shared his true loves in life and how he held these people close to him during his trials while on a weight loss challenge. Faith and integrity were crucial in his quest as he faced his abyss. In all, our students learned to climb their own C.L.I.F. (Commitment, Love, Integrity, and Faith).

Foreword by Transformation Specialist, Chris Powell

Unstoppable Transformation:
Dropping the Fail from Your C.L.I.F
.

For me, and foremost, I want to dedicate this project to a God who transformed my life and who loved me at all stages of my life. This book is a testament to Him. It is also dedicated to my parents who raised me in a tough but loving environment. They shaped me into the man I am today, and Im so thankful for that. Ultimately, though, I am blessed to have the most incredible wife in the world, who stood with me through times when I was selfish, demanding, and unloving. Kelly has stayed with me through the good and the bad and has shown me love that I didnt deserve. This book is for those whom I love most.

~BOB BRENNER

I have been blessed beyond words to be the collaborator for Bobs story and to help tell Gods story as it plays out through Bob. Ive prayed over each written word in the hopes that it moves people to hope of their own. There is nothing like faith to be an agent of deeprooted, genuine, whole-soul change, and because it is my desire that this book will encourage just that, I dedicate it to God.

I will never forget meeting Bob for the first time. As I addressed the group of 35 possible candidates for the journey of transformation, talking about the true secretsthe foundationof transformation, he sat just to my left at the front of the group. He looked so uncomfortable sitting there, like an overinflated balloon, too large for the chair and shifting every couple of seconds to try to ease the pain of his weight. However, as I began to share the intricate details of the journey, he stopped moving altogether and began to absorb every word I was saying. Even though I was talking to each and every person in the room, I couldnt help but catch him nodding out of the corner of my eye with each and every word I said.
