Biggest Loser Finalist Ada Wong Coming to Maui Marathon
If you have watched the Biggest Loser like I have, then you know Ada Wong. She won the hearts of a nation with her struggles growing up which led to her weight gain. Now close to 100 pounds lighter, and with the nickname “Ada The Terminator”, for her determination and no quit attitude, she comes to Maui to run the Maui Marathon and Warrior Challenge.
Ada had struggled with her weight her entire life and as a result, grew up shy, timid, and not wanting to draw much attention to herself in fear of being judged. She grew up in Gilroy, California with her brother and parents who emigrated from China. Ridiculed for her weight with no encouraging and supportive people around her, she turned to food for comfort. She had excelled in all areas of her life but couldn’t get a handle on her weight. When she was selected as a contestant for the biggest loser, she weighed in at her heaviest- 258 pounds. With much drive and determination, Ada was able to get through every week without falling below the yellow line. She finished 2nd runner up at the finale and lost a total of 99 pounds. Dubbed as the fan favorite, she has inspired millions through her hard work and touching story.
