Get to Know Your Competition (cont)

Ashley Smith

Hi My name is Ashley Smith.  I am 26 years old. I am single and have my bachelors of science from Utah State University  in Archaeology.  My weight has severely limited my job options in my chosen field and that has been a very frustrating journey. So much so that I've altered my focus.  I want to go into Museum Education, which I love!  Eventually I want to go back for my Masters. I currently work at Antelope Island State Park. 
Other things. . . hmmm I love food and cooking. My secret fatal food that I can't get enough of is of course chocolate.  I live in Ogden. One of my favorite shows is Destination Truth, I love Cryptos! I am also so excited for this year because of the Olympics! I love watching all the proceedings and cheering the athletes on!   I am so excited for this Biggest Loser Competition. I really needed something like this to get me going. I have been overweight most of my life. It has affected my self-esteem  and my personality. If I win any money, it will definitely go towards a fabulous new wardrobe! I am so looking forward to actually enjoying the shopping experience.
Gook Luck everyone!

Stephanie Thomson

Hey! My name is Stephanie Thomson. I was raised in Park City, Ut and now live in Pocatello. I am the oldest of 3 girls, I am currently single and working at convergys. I have struggled with loosing weight at several points in my life. Between 17 years old and 18 I lost 80 pounds in 3 months. then in college i gained most if not all back. then I lost 50 pounds the spring of 2010 by just walking more and drinking as much water as I thought I could possibly hold. Good Luck to all!

Annalee Hawkins

I just turned 31 and am a stay at home mom of two little munchkins, Avery (almost 4 going on 16) and Rylee (15 months). I guess I am a pretty typical mom who puts everyone before themselves. I have baby weight to lose, but kind of forgot to take care of myself along the way. My husband has been running and finished his first marathon in June. Someday I hope to be able to run along side of him. (I don't like to be the heavy wife!) I have been married to my sweetheart 8 years and it has been the best years of my life. I love to go camping, sit at the beach, craft/scrapbook and travel. I'm hoping to get down to my goal weight by the second week of December!

Here's to losing weight! Thanks for letting me join the journey!
