“The reason I started my journey to go on “The Biggest Loser” was to help my dad change his life,” says 20-year-old Kaylee Kinikini.  Her father, Moses, is obese, and she wanted to do whatever she could to help him get healthy.  And seeing the health struggles that her dad faced made her realize what her future might be like, too, if she didn’t make a big life change.  Kaylee, now 233 lbs., has been overweight her whole life, which she says is due to a poor diet, no exercise and because she was shy and lacked self-confidence.  She was born in Provo, Utah, and raised in Nampa, Idaho as the oldest of two children and currently attends college at Brigham Young University, Idaho.  She had the opportunity to go skydiving, but couldn’t because of a 200 lb. weight limit, so she hopes to be able to skydive and just live her life to the fullest after she gets her weight off. tvgrapevine.com
