Lisa Mosley was forced to endure the rigors of being on The Biggest Loser, which led to an emotional breakthrough that enabled her to lose nearly 100 pounds. It wasn’t easy. portion controlShe lost weight because of this when she returned to her home after the set.
“I live on the motto “Moderation not deprivation,” she says. “After I returned from the ranch, I began to use a smaller plate for dinner instead of large ones. It’s been extremely successful.”
Mosley didn’t start gaining weight until she was about 20, when she began taking medication for a chronic anxiety disorder. The medication made her feel like a new person, but within six months she began to gain weight. Over the next 10 years she gained about 120 pounds.
By 2010, Lisa had suffered several personal setbacks. She had been laid off from her job, had lost her home and had no prospects to find work. The defining moment in her struggle to lose weight came when she discovered that her daughter had stopped eating and drinking because she didn’t want to be heavy like her mom.
That spurred Lisa to take action, including her willingness to bare her soul on The Biggest Loser.
When Lisa left the show, she had dropped 60 pounds. But she continued to lose weight, dropping another 37 pounds at home after she learned to control the size of her portions.
She recently became the national spokeswoman for Yum Yum Dishes, sets of hand-painted 4-ounce ceramic bowls. Tracy Adler, mother of two and former restaurant owner, created the bowls to help parents and kids control the size of their snacks.

That was not what I achieved.” she adds. “These dishes will remind you that you don’t have to stop living and that you won’t be going hungry.”
Today Mosley works as a fitness boot camp instructor and personal trainer. She weighs about 190 pounds, wears a size 12 and is happy with herself.
“I’m a completely different person.” she says, “Not only how I feel physically, but also how I feel mentally.
