Biography
Angie is a full-time student, mother, wife and real estate agent, whose off-beat sense of humor takes it all in stride. In high school and college her weight fluctuated between a size 0 and 1. After two back- to- back pregnancies, however, her weight skyrocketed. She was never able to find the willpower and know how to take it off. Angie always has a smile and laughter to share to make others feel good, but she is tired of the underlying self-loathing and lack of confidence that obesity has imposed on her life and her relationships. She is ready to reclaim her young, slim and confident self so she can keep up with her sexy super-fit husband, and inspire her children to stay active.

Goal weight: 120

Why the weight gain: The weight was a result of having two back to back pregnancies and the lack of motivation and willpower to lose the weight.

Biggest hope: My biggest hope is that this will influence and encourage my children to be healthy and watch their weight (they are not overweight now)

Motivation/reason for wanting to lose the weight: Myself and my family. Foremost I want to tlose the weight so that I can feel good about myself again. I want to have self confidence again and I want to be able to shop for clothes out of desire, not out of necessity.

Hardest thing about being overweight: The hardest thing about being overweight is the self loathing and how it carries over to your daily relationships. There is a lack of self worth and confidence. It hinders personal growth.

Dream physical activity: My dream physical activity is to go the gym and feel confident about the workouts without feeling limited because of my size or that everyone might be watching me. I want to be able to do yoga/pilates without feeling embarrassed.

Mantra: If I don't scale the mountain, then I can't see the view.

Hardest part about losing the weight at home: The temptations and the whirlwind of daily life preventing me from getting my daily exercise.

Most valuable thing you learned at the ranch: Not being chosen to be on the ranch as a main cast member didn't hinder my ability to lose the weight. I can still be motivated and focused and continue my efforts with the support of friends and family.
