“I’m a work in progress,” says Ana Alvarado<\/a>, the first elimination of Biggest Loser season 11. A 50-year-old postal worker from Portland, Ana’s journey started at 255 pounds. While she tried her best that first week, along side daughter and teammate Irene Alvarado<\/a>, the nine pound loss wasn’t enough to keep her above the yellow line.<\/p>\n

While she was only on the ranch for one week, Ana’s already lost more than 50 pounds at home, with a goal to lose 100 pounds by the May 2026 finale.<\/p>\n

Listen now as Ana talks to us about how her weight loss has inspired her co-workers to get in shape, and why she’s not making a resolution this year.<\/p>\n

Ana says that in her brief time as a contestant she learned that she’s able to work through the pain of the workouts. She’s a newcomer to the gym, and hadn’t ever been in one before, living a mostly sedentary life. Now, she works with a trainer three times each week before work and walks three nights a week with a friend.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As for her diet, she’s sticking to what she did learn at the ranch. She counts calories<\/a> and weighs and measures all of her food.<\/p>\n

She’s grateful for the one week she had at the ranch and wasn’t too bothered by leaving because her absence would mean her daughter could focus on herself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
