In The Beginning, There Was Fat.

The Contender: Jahaira Camer, age 30. Newly relocated to New York City from Boston in search of a more meaningful existence. Currently living with her sister's family in a low-income apartment complex, known to anyone within a ten-mile radius as "the projects". Surviving on a fixed income which pretty much affords her the ability to report to you live from the poverty line.
Hasn't weighed herself in ten years, but is more than sure she's seen 300 pounds come and go. Confident about her looks (which is her story and she's sticking to it), but would like to live the kind of life that doesn't involve praying for death every time the need to climb a staircase crosses her path.

The Mission: One hundred pounds. Three hundred sixty-five days.

No surgery, no shakes, no "trainer to the stars", no home delivery, no miracle pills. Real food, real exercise, real results.

Can it be done?

Mark your calendars, people. It's about to be one hell of a ride.
