KELLY'S PARTING THOUGHTS

What were the advantages and disadvantages of being with your partner?
The advantage of having Paul around was he was a fierce competitor. We won challenges together. We had a great dynamic and that is what got us on the show in the first place. When Paul was eliminated, I had to change gears and only to focus on myself. I took that opportunity and ran with it.

How did the show bring you closer?
I do think we will be even better friends after this life-changing experience.

What are some of the tips the trainers gave you?
There are so many things that they taught us. But, understanding why we eat was a big one. I don't think we just eat bad, there is an emotional element involved. Finding out how to find that emotional element was tough. Exercise and eat right. I took that with me, too. It's the key to losing weight.

What will you miss most about the ranch?
The ranch to me is a safe place. As much as I want to go home and be with my family, the ranch had no distractions. I had a gym and a trainer and a fridge full of the right food. It was hard to cheat on my diet.
