Q104 Winner Brenda Brown's Video Blog

Brenda Brown is a wife, mother and manager at Community Action Head Start in Topeka, Kan. At 320 lbs., she has battled obesity her entire life — literally. Her weight gain began as a toddler. She was enrolled in Weight Watchers by the first grade. She has gone through dozens of diets and weight-loss therapies, some successful and some not. Regardless, her hunger has always been one step ahead of her, keeping permanent weight loss always a step out of her reach.
