Poppi, NJ's Biography Biography
Poppi is a diamond in the rough. A hilarious, witty, engaging but struggling standup comic, she says her weight is "the fear of success wrapped around me." Every day for the last six years, Poppi has worn only black clothes to try to hide her size. Her main reason for wanting to lose the weight is, in her own words, "she couldn't breathe". In the last few years Poppi's father was diagnosed with leukemia. He is currently in remission, and Poppi performs at the leukemia benefit each year. Her goal is to get healthy enough to run a fundraising marathon in his honor.

Goal weight: 130

Why the weight gain: Combination of dad's leukemia, 9/11, and I gave up on my career

Biggest hope: I will stop making excuses for myself and realize my fulfill potential; I will live my life for the first time without regret and, of course...COMMERCIAL WORK! :)

Motivation/reason for wanting to lose the weight: To breathe easily!

Hardest thing about being overweight: I couldn't breathe.

Dream physical activity: hip hop dancing/rock climbing

Best physical feature: oh so many! ;) eyes, calves, butt, chest.

Mantra: Underdogs unite!

Hardest part about losing the weight at home: going back to the places where I gained the weight and living my life completely differently. My friends totally accepted me. It took me a while to accept myself.

Most valuable thing you learned at the ranch: I don't need to be there to lose weight.
