NBC Bio
Rebecca grew up the “baby” of four, a role that has made her the sassy yet sweet girl she is today. Rebecca had struggled every day for the last 14 years with her weight, being the heaviest in her family. At the age of 17 she starved herself and lost close to 80 pounds, but four years later and out of high school, she gained all the weight back, plus an extra 50 pounds. Rebecca was active in sports and R.O.T.C. in school and had planned on a career in the military, but could never reach the weight limit. Rebecca wants to lead a healthy life more than anything and for the first time she believes that she deserves, wants and needs this opportunity. She plans on being a good sport all while winning one challenge after the other!

What can I say. I was shocked to learn that you are also from Iowa. I have watched this whole season and never realized you lived here. I really admire you and Amanda. I am dealing with the same demon. I have been overweight pretty much my whole life. I don’t really have a support system. I am 130 lbs overweight. I hate myself and don’t have the strength to even try to fight to lose the weight. My family doesn’t care about me. My parents are both gone and all of my sibl;ings don’t talk to me. I have no friends to even give me a chance to find the courage to capture and get rid of this demon of mine. I wish that I had a friend like you to count on and to kick my butt into gear to lose weight.
Rebecca,
You did awesome! You are such an inspiration to all of us, you should be very proud of your achievements. Thanks for getting me motivated to take care of myself. Great job!
