Two Brownsville residents won a combined $7,500 last week for working out and having the best body transformations out of more than 20,000 people from all over the country.
Ernie Vega says his fitness journey started when the pandemic hit and news began to spread on how dangerous COVID-19 was for people who were overweight.
"I stand at 5'5 and I was at 203 pounds, and it wasn't looking like I was going to slow down," Vega said. "Definitely working from home and just eating-- you have access to your refrigerator 24/7 not leaving the house."
