WHO: Wendy Moore

AGE: 60

CITY: Deseronto, Ont.

By The Numbers: 290 pounds at my heaviest, and currently 139.5, total weight loss 150.5 pounds

The Weight Gain: Growing up as a kid, I was always overweight but not as bad in my teenage years. The weight gain started as I became a young adult and I stayed around 250 pounds for many years. In 2011, it went up to 290.
