Olivia's biggest motivation for going on NBC’s The Biggest Loser was being 261 pounds, 35 years old and diagnosed with
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and being told she would likely never have children if she didn't lose weight. As an
opera singer, she was also tired of losing coveted roles to people who looked healthier - it wasn't enough to just have a
great voice. She received a degree in vocal performance at the University of Alabama, and master's degrees in vocal
performance and opera performance from the New England Conservatory of Music. A poor diet and no exercise led to
her obesity, and the weight gain continued as she was diagnosed with PCOS when says she "completely gave up."
After spending 22 weeks on the Biggest Loser Ranch, Olivia lost 129 pounds and gained a new happier and healthier life.
Olivia continues to maintain that weight loss with 90 minute cardio work out 6 days a week and travels the country to
speak about fitness, fashion and all things fun!

Hannah has earned a bachelor's degree in communications and public relations at the University of Alabama. In her high
school days, she was the homecoming queen and star athlete, but avoided her 10-year high school reunion because, she
says, "I was too ashamed to let everyone see what I've become." Weight didn't become an issue for Hannah until she
was 20 years old. She had an accident, which resulted in emergency back surgery and ended her collegiate sports career.
Feeling defeated, she began to gain weight.
When 32 year old Hannah stepped onto the scale for the first time at The Biggest Loser she weighed 248 pounds and 22
weeks later she wowed 8.5 million viewers, having lost 120 pounds. Today, Hannah tours the country speaking about
the importance of nutrition and wellness and maintains her weight loss through cardio workouts and early morning boot
camp regiments.
