Paula Simon wanted to lose 20 pounds.

She had lost faith in the diet-of-the-month and she wanted something more extreme that would help motivate her to keep the weight off.

So, she joined up with a group that went on a 400-mile wilderness hike.

She explained to Growing Bolder how it was that out of her group, this 55-year-old housewife was the only one who finished!
