‘Biggest Loser’ shares weight loss secrets
SLIM DOWN—Hannah Curlee from the TV show “The Biggest Loser,” with “before” and “after” photos as she lost 128 pounds on the wall behind her, speaks Oct. 25 at The Oaks mall in Thousand Oaks.
WENDY PIERRO/ACORN NEWSPAPERS Tipping the scales at nearly 300 pounds, Hannah Curlee felt like the biggest loser around.
As it turned out, she was a big loser, but in a positive way.
Curlee and her sister, Olivia Ward, appeared on season 11 of “The Biggest Loser,” a reality TV show on NBC where contestants compete to lose the most weight.
The duo finished first and second on the show, with Ward losing 129 pounds and Curlee 120. Curlee credited her weight loss to healthier choices and staying active during her nine months on the show.
“All those changes start with one step toward your better life,” Curlee told an audience last week during an appearance at Los Robles Hospital and Medical Center in Thousand Oaks. “I wanted my life back. I had to believe in myself and finish what I started.”
Curlee takes responsibility for her weight gain.
“I was unhappy but no one forced me to eat or stay in bed too long,” she said. “I was in a vicious cycle and so was my sister. We enabled each other by eating.”
Curlee is now a director for the Health to You program, which promotes health and wellness education. H2U is a subsidiary of Hospital Corporation of America, the parent company of Los Robles.
