Marissa's Bio:

Well I am an East-coast girl who was raised in Boston my whole life.  I grew up right on the beach, which of course we only got to go to for 3 months out of the year...but I do consider myself a seasoned beach bum!  When I graduated from high school I decided to go out "west" and wound up in Chicago (yes that was the furthest west I had ever been!).  I was in Chicago for 3 years and absolutely loved it!  There I met my closest friend, Beth, and it was at her wedding that I met my future husband.  She was marrying Don who is my husband Jack's brother...so now my friend and I are sisters-in-law!  I totally recommend doing that!!!  After marrying Jack we lived in Boston for a year, had a baby and then moved down to Alabama.  My husband grew up overseas but Alabama is where all of his family eventually settled after coming to the states.  We had another baby there and then my husband decided to join the Army.  Our first duty station was all of 2 hours away in L.A. (or lower Alabama as we call it).  It was a great time and we met so many wonderful friends who we stay in touch with now.  With now 3 babies in tow, we moved out here to Colorado Springs 4 years ago.  We love Colorado and are outside just as much as possible.  We like to have a baby wherever we go...so we are now the proud parents of 4.  My husband is a helicopter pilot and has been to Iraq twice.  We love the Army and would never change one thing about being an Army family.  Deployments and all.  In all this baby making and moving I steadily gained weight over the past 10 years.  I had tried many tricks to lose weight and nothing seemed to work for me.  When I heard an advertisement on the radio for My Biggest Loser with My 99.9- and Spectrum Wellness--I applied online right away.  I was so excited when I got the call that I had been chosen to participate.  I have learned so much from the amazing people at Spectrum Wellness and the best part is that it all makes so much sense!!!  Eat the right things at the right times and get moving!!!  It worked!  I lost nearly 21 lbs in eight weeks and I have just 15 more pounds to go to reach my ultimate goal.  I have been so blessed to be a part of this and am so looking forward to a future filled with good health not just for me but for my whole family.
