Bobbi Sheahan

Bobbi Sheahan had always considered her weight a cosmetic issue - not a health one. That is until she became pregnant and, both times, put herself and her children's lives at risk with high-risk pregnancies due to her weight. As a new mother, she realized she had to lose weight for herself and her family.

Rick Minchew

Rick Minchew says he was the "classic yo-yo dieter." He could lose the excess weight, but always gained it and several more pounds right back. When he realized he weighed more than 500 pounds, he knew he had to take action.
