Jessica Whitehead, 41
Director of sales for a technology company, Cheshire, CT
Before: 345 lbs
After: 145 lbs
Jessica Whitehead was never one to pass up a good time?especially if food was involved. For years she met friends every night for dinner, ordering the largest sizes and every add-on: extra cheese on her pizza, extra mayo on her overstuffed sandwiches, and a side of chips or fries with her meal.
"Eating big and trying everything was symbolic of success and living my life fully?I literally 'lived large,' " she says. But if someone asked her to play volleyball or go skiing, Jessica, 5'5", always opted out because she feared her weight?which peaked at 345 pounds at age 36?would prevent her from participating. "I was embarrassed. I felt as if I couldn't do those things."
