About Brittany
Brittany grew up on a dairy farm in southern California. She sites her parents divorce as the catalyst to her weight gain as a child. She stood out on “The Biggest Loser” with her strong will, leadership skills, and determination. Brittany lost a total of 60 pounds with the support of her team mate, Bernie Salazar. Brittany was featured in Prevention Magazine where she shared her story and secrets to her success. “I faced my fears and learned to let my guard down. It made me feel good about what I can accomplish. When I look in the mirror, I can’t believe that’s me. I see a confident person, someone who for the first time believes she is beautiful.”
About Bernie
Bernie grew up in a single-parent household but says his childhood was in no way tragic. “My mother instilled in us a tremendous sense of self-worth, stressed the importance of education, insisted that we always be kind to people, and would always remind us that only through hard work can you achieve your goals and dreams,” says Bernie. He joined “The Biggest Loser” with the intent to make a dramatic life change. With Brittany’s encouragement, Bernie was able to lose 130 pounds, and came back at the finale as the Biggest Loser of those who were eliminated, taking home a consolation prize of $100,000.
