Dramatic. Determined. Passionate. Those are but a few of the words that fans of NBC’s hit reality weight loss show use to describe one of its most memorable characters, Lisa Andreone, a 27 year old Florida native. However, NBC’s producers and Larry King call her “Great T.V.” As part of The Biggest Loser’s inaugural season, Lisa transformed into one of the show’s fiercest competitors and cheerleaders. Over the course of 8 weeks on the show (Lisa was one of the last remaining participants) and 12 weeks at home leading up to the finale, Lisa lost an amazing 57 pounds! She used to be passionate about macaroni and cheese, but now she is committed to getting America fit.
At 5’7”, Lisa was tired of being called “a big girl.” As a pre-teen, Lisa’s weight began to rise as her self image began to spiral. You would never know it though. Lisa hid her insecurities and was always the life of the party. Still the ever fun girl at heart, she is dead serious about her new healthy lifestyle. “It’s not a diet, but a life of good nutrition and exercise that I enjoy now.”
The skinny is that this self proclaimed “drama queen” continues to capture America’s attention appearing multiple times in publications like T.V. Guide, People Magazine, In Touch Magazine, Star Magazine and various Morning T.V. programs and radio appearances.
