Mandy's Inspiration
Photobucket Julie from last season. She reminded me a lot of myself being a stay at home mom.

Natalie's Inspiration

Isabeau from the Biggest Loser...she started at the same weight as me. I rooted for her all season!

Natalie's Weight and Goal

Height: 5'9''
BMI: 43.6

Natalie's Story
I grew up as an average sized kid. I took dance for 10 years even! My weight gain started when we moved from Texas to a small town in Oklahoma when I was in 6th grade. I quit being serious about dancing. I just ate bad food like pasta, chips, cookies, macaroni and cheese. When I was in 9th grade I went on the Phen/Phen diet pill craze. I only weighed 190, but I dropped 30 pounds in a month and was looking good! Then I gained it all back of course. Then I continued to struggle through high school and college. When I was a senior in college I lost 65 pounds on Weight Watchers. Then I gained it back...and a little more. Now I am sick of being the fat, funny, boyfriend-less friend. I'm sick of the "You have such a pretty face" comments. I know this is not me and I am ready to make a change. No excuses this time. Who cares if it's a holiday or a party at work? I can stay on track! The Biggest Loser is such a huge inspiration to me. I feel like I know all the contestants. I'm so glad to have met Mandy in the Biggest Loser online club. We live relatively close so I'm excited that we will be able to meet in Wichita for the Million Pound Tour. We can motivate each other because we are the same size, and have shared the same struggles with our weight. I have faith in her and I know she supports me as well. We can do this! "Believe in yourself and all that your are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle."--Christopher Larson

Mandy's Weight and Goal

Height: 5'10''
BMI: 44.5

Mandy's Story
I've always been a big girl. In high school I played sports so that helped me stay at a reasonable weight but I was still chubby. I remember in junior high getting called "thunder thighs" and I cried for days. It's funny how the things people say stick with you! I got married when I was 23 and I was so happy I just let myself go. Here I am almost 5 years later still very happily married, with an almost 1 year old son, but with an extra 100 pounds to show for it! I don't want my son to grow up and get teased because I am fat!!! I want more than anything to be that skinny hot girl I know I can be before I'm 30. I am so excited about the Million Pound Matchup contest. I watch the show every week and it always inspires me to do more. I think Natalie and I should win because we are two 27 year old women who can't wait to kick butt at our weight loss. Natalie and I met on The Biggest Loser Club several months ago and we both love the show...if only Bob lived in Kansas or Oklahoma and he could train us. My plan is to stay on an 1800 calorie diet (as per my doctor) and to exercise at least 6 times a week. Natalie and I have so much in common I don't think we will have any trouble keeping each other motivated. When one sees the other one struggling we will help pull her up. Look out America, this time next year we will be smokin hot mamas!!!!

Million Pound Matchup!
