Ann-Marie
Age: 30
Weight: 215.5 pounds
End weight: 184.5 pounds
Total weight loss: 31 pounds
Height: 5’7”
The lowdown: Since having her baby, Ann-Marie has put on so much weight she feels self-conscious with her husband, and it’s affecting her marriage. She wants 4 kids, but worries that her weight will climb with each one if she doesn’t get fitter now.
Her downfall: Lack of interest in the kitchen, reliance on convenience foods and love of calorific comfort foods.
Fitness Goal: To compete in a triathlon
Since filming finished, Ann-Marie has had another baby, Charlie, who is now eighteen-months-old. She finished her diploma in business administration. Ann-Marie continued to do triathlons after X-Weighted finished filming – she did five that year, completing her last when she was twelve weeks pregnant – and recently tackled another, her first since having Charlie.
"I finished in 1hr33mins, which is my personal best, and I might add not bad for being newly pregnant with nausea!" says Ann-Marie, who is now expecting a 3rd child, due on May 1st 2010. Although some of her weight did come back on with having another baby, she was able to lose most of it before getting pregnant again.
These days, Ann-Marie cooks dinner for her husband five-nights a week (this was an issue in their marriage on the show). “My cooking is phenomenal,” she says. She does meal plans at the start of every week before hitting the grocery store to get everything she needs, because she is by nature a planner and says that as long as she knows what she is going to prepare, cooking dinner is no problem. “I love to cook and am the wife of the year these days,” she says.
