Theresa
A young special education teacher who remembers just a few years ago when she had a regular exercise routine and was active in cheerleading and dance. In the past few years, though, her weight has crept up on her and exercise has fallen to the wayside. Going out with friends is going to be a temptation to indulge in junk food and pizza, but don’t let that fool you. She warns,

Cathy

Maureen
A 25-year employee of a suburban defense contractor, mother, and loving wife, feels this program was essential because “I have a hard time staying consistent with exercise, so this program will keep me focused on my goal.” She admits that her temptations will be sweets and desserts but she notes that summer is a perfect time for this and thinks that the good weather and long days will be keys to her success.

Cindy
As an owner of her own consulting firm she loves what she does but spends way too much time doing it. Despite her self-driven discipline towards her career, her exercise regimen has been an on-again, off-again affair for years. However, she states, “From the first time I heard about this program I have been more excited and motivated than I have been about anything in a long time!”

Kristen
A 27-year old Human Resource Manager who loves fattening foods and hates exercise. On the flip side, her desire to get healthy far “outweighs” her distaste for exercise. She is extremely motivated to hit her goal weight before her cruise this fall and would eventually like to run a 5K race.

Dianne
Another teacher and the proud owner of a lab mix named Casper (who will stand as a constant reminder not to forget her cardio). One of her goals during the program will be to improve her overall health while finding alternatives to emotional eating. She enjoys working hard and sweating in the gym, which will make her a force to be reckoned with for the Largest Loser title. 

Paul

A chiropractor and self-proclaimed “wonderful husband” to his charming wife Tweedie, he was never athletic as a kid and didn’t work out until he was 32 years young. His motivation for participating is that he feels that he’s too heavy for a 61-year old and needs someone to push him to the next level of fitness and health. He says controlling his eating will be the biggest obstacle to overcome, but he’s driven to set the bar high in this competition. 

Judy
She has worked in hospitals, a psych ward, and food service and most recently in the teleconferencing industry.  Her goal is to lose weight so she can be more active and improve her overall health.  A big challenge will be time, as well as developing confidence in her capacity for exercise.  She’ll do well because she can stick to anything she puts her mind to as long as she has a good support staff.

Jason
He’s a Medical Doctor specializing in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation but in his real job he’s dad to Alyson and Katie and husband to Kristin.  He loves any sport known to man but is not a big fan of structured exercise.  He has a big goal in mind and knows exactly what needs to be done…...
“I just need to get them done.”
