Born and raised in a Christian home, Michelle was 18 when she received a phone call from her mother saying she was divorcing her father. Michelle chose to love her mother from a distance, resulting in no communication for six years. Michelle internalized her pain using food as a coping device, smiling on the outside as though everything was fine (it wasn’t). Michelle and her father auditioned for Season 5 of The Biggest Loser and almost made it. When the show called her back to audition for Season 6, Michelle's father suggested she invite her mother to join her. They were chosen as contestants and ultimately Michelle won! Through this adventure God revealed His mercy to Michelle, showing that forgiveness is possible—and her healing began. Michelle and her husband live in Texas.
