Rebecca your starting weight is.... When I arrived on The Biggest Loser Ranch, I weighed 279 pounds.
I now weigh 206 pounds. I've lost 73 pounds, and I am starting to become the person that I always
knew I could be. I get to start my life now. I get to be in the driver's seat of my life now.
I feel really fortunate to have been here as long as I have been here.
This has been like the best experience of my life.
America the next time you see me, I'm gonna look amazing because my journey doesn't end
here. It's going to continue at home because I am now the person that I wanted to be my whole life.
I am so nervous walking into my house. I mean it's
just my family but it's just I haven't seen them in so long.
Oh my god, I love you so much! I just couldn't wait to get my hands on her,
and of course there wasn't very much to hold.
Seeing all these people around me, it takes all the fear and just throws it away. I'm so motivated
to start my new life and be this person that I always knew that I could be. No more this,
it's too big. Gone. Huge, way huge. Things I used to cover myself with,
that I don't have to worry about anymore. Show something skin! I got a makeover of my body and
now we get to go shopping and have a makeover of clothes. I love you, it's good to be home.
The first day starting The Biggest Loser we had to run a mile,
and it took me 16 minutes to finish that mile, and I was
exhausted afterwards. Today I'm about to run a half marathon...13.1 miles and I'm ready for it!
For me this half marathon it's about being 107 pounds down in less than five months.
It's believing in myself, it's being comfortable in my own skin, and knowing that I have control of
my life now. I think the people that are sitting at home they should know that they can run a half
marathon, if they put their mind to it . Five months ago, I was that girl sitting on the couch
saying, " I can barely even run a mile, let alone a half marathon," and now look at me.
Before coming on The Ranch I've been told my whole life that I had a pretty face.
Now people call me a pretty girl. It's not just the face, it's Rebecca.
I realized that I am approaching mile 10 and I've never ran more than 10 miles at one time ever in
my life. I'm about to finish a half marathon. I just became the girl that I wanted to be. What I
came here to do. It's literally saying goodbye to allowing that girl to run my life anymore.
I would like to say, thank you from the bottom of my heart to The Biggest Loser.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. This has truly changed my life forever.
