Mark Cornelison signed up to be on Biggest Loser 13<\/a><\/strong> with his son Isaac so they could make a \u201clife change.\u201d At 291 pounds, suffering from high blood pressure, high cholesterol and acid reflux, this 43-year-old youth pastor from Magnolia, Texas knows it\u2019s time to take charge of his future and that begins on the Biggest Loser ranch.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Like many people who struggle with their weight, Mark has been yo-yo dieting<\/a><\/strong> since high school, trying to lose weight for a specific occasion or event, only to gain it all back. In the past, Mark has seen \u201cglimpses\u201d of success so he knows he can do it. He just needs a team to show him how to put all the healthy lifestyle pieces in to place and how to adapt healthy living to his daily routine. \u201cThis is for life. I need to make the change because I\u2019m getting older, feeling weaker and I want to be healthier.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to being married with three teenage children, Mark has a busy but rewarding job as a youth pastor for a local church. He frequently does volunteer work and goes on missionary trips but admits his weight gain is making it increasingly uncomfortable to help in the way he used to.<\/p>\n

Mark\u2019s faith is ingrained in his life and he takes his position as pastor very seriously. He\u2019s worked with teenagers in the church for 15 years and it\u2019s important for him to be a role model to the kids he mentors, as well as, his own impressionable teenagers at home.<\/p>\n

Mark wants to get fit for his family and his personal health but he also wants to be stronger for God. He knows God put him in his current position to use him and he wants to \u201cbe the best that I can be for the service he has called me to.\u201d This season Mark and his son Isaac \u201cChism\u201d Cornelison<\/a><\/strong> compete as the grey team on Biggest Loser 13.<\/p>\n
