Rebecca grew up the "baby" of four, a role that has made her the sassy yet sweet girl she is today. Rebecca had struggled every day for the last 14 years with her weight, being the heaviest in her family. At the age of 17 she starved herself and lost close to 80 pounds, but four years later and out of high school, she gained all the weight back, plus an extra 50 pounds. Rebecca was active in sports and R.O.T.C. in school and had planned on a career in the military, but could never reach the weight limit. Rebecca wants to lead a healthy life more than anything and for the first time she believes that she deserves, wants and needs this opportunity. She plans on being a good sport all while winning one challenge after the other!
