"In my final year (1990), we brought the title back to HOT LANTA...haha!"  That was then, and he wants to do more now. His 20 year reunion for the 1990 National Championship is this summe, and Georgia Tech will have several programs in their honor.  Jerimiah feels he can inspire others by showing up and looking "College Skinny." He wants to show his former teammates that they have allowed themselves too many beers, too many wings, and too many missed workouts!  He's hopeful that at 275 lbs, he could be an inspiration of nostalgia.           EASTON RANDALL AGE: 24 HEIGHT: 5'11'' WEIGHT: 318.5 lbs Read his blog   Easton has never been thin.  He was an extremely active child.  Because of his athletic abilities, people never seemed to care that he was overweight. He could hit a mean fastball and sack a quarterback, but he still was teased. The worst moment of his life was being told by the girl of his dreams she would never be caught dead dating a guy as fat as him.  She told him if he wanted any kind of chance with her, he needed to lose weight.  She told him he was an amazing person and wished she could date him, but not while he was that fat. This all happened in front of a large group of people.  It stuck with him, and Easton hasn't tried to date since then.  He talks for a living and dresses as well as an overweight person can. He sweats constantly, keeps extra shirts in his car, and changes at least twice a day during the summer.  At formal events, he looks like he worked out in the middle of the event.  Easton wants to finally enjoy his 20's and be a healthy human being with a romantic social life.  The 20th anniversary of his fraternity is in October.  Easton wants to walk into the room and shock his friends as half the man he used to be!  He also has three weddings at the end of the year, and he doesn't want to ruin it by sweating in all the pictures.    Easton promises the Bert Show listeners and, more importantly -- children, that he'll get this done and create a new man!              MATT MITCHELL AGE: 31 HEIGHT: 5'9'' WEIGHT: 298 lbs Read his blog   Matt is a fat man who just got engaged to the love of his life in October.  After dating for 9 years, Matt asked her to marry him in Paris. Matt has 8 months to lose 80lbs in time for the wedding.  Matt has an identical twin brother who has become extremely physically active in the the past 9 years.  They no longer look identical.  When he goes out with his wife people still hit on her and question why she's with Matt.  Some even ignore him or assume he's her dad.  She has been with him as he packed on the pounds and knows that his wife deserves a sexy husband that doesn't shop at plus size men's stores and Wal-mart.  Matt wants to be an attractive, stylish groom for his bride to be. With or without Healthe Trim, he has to make this happen!             RUSSELL GREENE AGE: 35 HEIGHT: 5'8'' WEIGHT: 228.5 lbs Read his blog   Russell is a single male who was laid off without severance three days before Christmas.  It was the second time he had lost his job.  Both times, he wasn't laid off due to his performance. Russell used to be active and skinny growing up.  But once he started working, he didn't have time to exercise.  Russell grew up in a family that always ate out and never knew how to adjust. He hates going to the grocery store like people hate going to the dentist.  Russell always buys bread, ham, cheese, chips, salsa, microwave popcorn, spaghetti, sauce, diet drinks, and beer.  He wants to learn how to eat and be healthy because both of his grandfathers, father, and uncle all have had heart problems, heart conditions, or strokes.  Russell can't get his love life together because his ego has gone down due to his lack of employment and his self body image.             REBECCA SULLINS AGE: 35 HEIGHT: 5'8'' WEIGHT: 180.5 lbs Read her blog   Rebecca's son, Brayden, is one of the 2010 BBA kids.  She wants to find a way to contribute to BBA since she is not able to contribute financially.  2009 was stressful for Rebecca -- there were over 70 doctor visits!  Rebecca had surgery to remove a kidney stone which put her into even more debt. Her mom started having cardiac problems, her debit card was stolen, and there were car problems, medical bills, and Brayden needed glasses. She is STRESSED OUT!  Rebecca wants to get healthy for herself because she has high cholesterol and pain her in lower back all the time. Heart disease runs in her family.  She had a partial hysterectomy and bladder surgery two years ago, and two months later had to have gallbladder removed.  Rebecca carries all of her weight in her stomach and thinks she looks like a turkey with toothpick legs.             KRISTEN IVESTER AGE:  27 HEIGHT: 5'3'' WEIGHT: 319.5 Read her blog   Kristen desperately needs the motivation of BBA to finally loose weight.  She was finally able to quit smoking and wants to continue becoming healthy.  On her father's surgery bed, he said he wished that he would live to see her get skinny.  He died two weeks later of lung disease.  Kristen made a promise to him on his death bed that she would do it.  Kristen is planning an event in April to "fight for air".  She has to climb 50 flights of stairs to benefit the American Lung Association!  Kristen needs to be in shape especially because it's close to her heart.  In the meantime, Kristen met the man of her dreams!  He is in the Air Force and will be back in July/August.  She wants to shock him!  Kristen has volunteered at Children's Healthcare and has met BBA kids. She has the motivation!             APRIL HARRIS AGE: 30 HEIGHT: 5'5 WEIGHT: 296.5 Read her blog   April has tried everything to loose weight and always ends up quitting. She has gained 115lbs since high school and just turned 30. April was diagnosed with PCOS and told that if she didn't lose the weight, she would never be able to have children.  April's fiance didn't have confidence in her losing the weight, so he left her. She was devastated and put on more weight.  April wants desperately to get rid of the PCOS so that she can some day become a mother.  She was trying to figure out how she could pay for the Healthe Trim when a friend told her about the challenge.  She thought she missed the deadline, but luckily made it!  It was the one day she was late for work, so she didn't hear the segment on the Bert Show!  April wants the motivation to help her life.             HOLLY CHUTE AGE: 54 HEIGHT: 5'2'' WEIGHT: 251 Read her blog   Holly has been fat all of her life and wants desperately to be skinny. Her husband loves her the way she is, but he knows that she wants to be skinny, too. In the 70's, when she was in college, there were no plus size clothes.  She had to buy male clothes and make them look feminine.  Holly wants to finally be able to shop in a department store but needs a jump start!             CHENITA WILLIS AGE: 29 HEIGHT: 5'2'' WEIGHT: 292 Read her blog   Chenita is a 29 year old single mother of extremely active boy.   Chenita heard about the Healthe Trim Challenge on the Bert Show and thought... this could be it! She had a difficult time finding a picture of herself to submit because she refuses to take pictures of herself with a full body.  She's so sick of people telling her she has a pretty face, she wants to scream! No one made her become this size, but SHE can help herself get down to 270 from 330.  Chenita is the girl who would rather pass out on the elliptical than get off before the skinny girl next to her!  She needs a little extra motivation, and this could be it!   Chenita turns 30 in September and wants to stand tall and be in a picture looking HOT!             ALICIA SKEENE AGE: 43 HEIGHT: 5'7'' WEIGHT: 408.5 Read her blog   Alicia is a 43 year old mother of 8 year old and 16 month old girls.  Alicia fears she won't be around to see her daughters grow up.  She doesn't want to be a bad role model to them.  Alicia almost had bariatric surgery and but had to stop the process because insurance wouldn't cover the whole thing.  She is praying that this will be the answer to her problem.  She is tired of not being able to go on a walk with her family without being tired and in pain because of the pressure on her knees.  Alicia is a wife who wants to grow old with her husband and a mother who wants to see her daughters grow.
