Lisa Beal from Fort Bragg, North Carolina had a big surprise for her husband when he returned home from a 6-month tour of duty with the Army in 2017. And while the couple was no doubt eager to see each other, Beal wanted to give her husband a welcome home to remember, so she called The Rachel Ray Show.

Beal had lost a significant amount of weight over the 6 months her husband had been gone, but she still felt like she needed help with her new look.

Rachael Ray was joined by Miss USA Deshauna Barber who introduced the story (and also happens to be a U.S. Army Reserves captain herself!).

“Army wife Lisa Beal from Fort Bragg, North Carolina, has lost a whopping 50 pounds in the past six months, and her hubby, Sergeant Terrance Beal, has been deployed overseas that whole time, so he has no idea!”

Of course, being called to a television studio for your reunion is the first clue that something’s up.

It’s great to see Beal’s transformation, not simply because it’s so glam but because of her confidence level after.

It’s pretty clear from the “before” photos that she was feeling shy and unsure about the whole thing.

And some of the shyness is still there afterward – after all, how many of us feel comfortable with a live studio audience and cameras pointed at us?!

Her hair transformation is the best. A great cut and some color and highlights have taken her from blah blonde to ravishing redhead. While her new auburn hair is worthy of a double-take, her makeup remained subtle except for a great berry-pink lip color that brings out her eyes.

Berber continued:

“When you see her you’re just gonna fall in love. Her body looks amazing (in) this gorgeous royal blue dress… Her hair is cut, highlighted. Franco from the cutler did an amazing job contouring her face with her hair… She just looks stunning, she really does.”

And it’s true. The royal blue dress and leather jacket are a welcome change from the baggy pants and shirt she came in with.

But why does she look like she’s not quite sure how it all turned out?

“Are you comfortable? Because you look good!” Ray says.

Well, it turns out Ray forgot to tell the audience that the makeover team didn’t let Beal see herself before she stepped out onto the stage.

Cruel!

“I’m comfortable but I’m just anxious to see what I look like!” Beal responds.

It’s clearly time she gets to see what we’ve all seen.

As Beal turns to the mirror after her 50-pound weight loss and new makeover, she can barely believe what she’s seeing. So imagine what her husband is going to think.

The new look is so good it’s easy to forget why Beal is really there – for a heartwarming reunion!

In fact, Seargent Beal strolls out while she’s admiring her makeover.
