About me: Julie Hadden is a 35 year old stay-at-home mom from Jacksonville, FL. She struggled with weight issues and low self esteem for most of her life. Her bubbly personality and humor served as the perfect camouflage for the pain she kept inside. Only those very closest to her knew of the internal struggles she endured for years.
Then in April of 2007 she was cast – along with 17 other incredible individuals – to be part of Season Four of the NBC Hit Reality Show “The Biggest Loser.” Through equal parts hard work and strategy, Julie persevered and made it to the end at a member of the “Final Four.”
Her journey on “The Biggest Loser” chronicled her emotional battle with obesity on national television for all of America to see. It was a private struggle that became very public - but in the process it has transformed Julie’s life and to her own amazement has provided inspiration for others as well.
On December 18, 2007, Julie became the “Biggest Female Loser of Season Four” and finished in second place for the overall title to Bill Germanakos; Losing a staggering 44.5% of her body weight. Even after the wrapping of Season 5 of the Biggest Loser, Julie remains among the top four women with the highest percentage of weight loss in the history of the Show.
Her participation in the Biggest Loser opened many doors for her. She has appeared on Access Hollywood, Entertainment Tonight, The Larry King Live Show and in numerous other magazines and print publications throughout the U.S. She promoted the Million Pound Match Up in Wichita KS and often addresses groups within her own community providing inspiration on healthy living, fitness and how extraordinary things really do happen to ordinary people.
One of the big motivators for Julie losing weight and taking control of her health and her life was her desire to have another baby. That prayer was recently answered – though not quite as she expected. She and her husband adopted a beautiful baby boy a little over a month after the Season 4 Finale. Now her workout routine includes late night feedings and diaper changes. But she wouldn’t have it any other way.
