Julie Hadden

Julie Hadden, struggled with her weight and low self-worth all her life. At a point of utter desperation, she cried out to God for help. His answer came in the most unusual way: through reality TV.As one of the most successful and memorable contestants ever on NBC's The Biggest Loser, Julie's journey chronicled her emotional battle with obesity on national television for the entire world to see. It was previously a private struggle that became very public, as millions of viewers tuned in each week to watch. The experience helped birth a new physique, but the transformation went far deeper than that. It was a total transformation: body, mind and spirit, and was much more about what she gained than what she lost. God revealed to her the enormous worth He places on all His children. It was a lesson she took to heart; and one she is passionate about sharing with others.She has appeared on Access Hollywood, Extra, Inside Edition, Entertainment Tonight, E!
