Angela

Angela says that being on X-Weighted was a really great experience. “I worked my butt off so I was really happy with the outcome,” she says. Angela has kept in shape, “I’m still a lot leaner and I’m happy with how I look right now,” she says. Since the show, Angela has had a really exciting work life. She finished her degree in marketing and is now vice-president of public relations and marketing at a real estate investment firm. “My life is going really great,” she says.

In terms of keeping in shape, Angela does a similar routine at the gym to the one that she was doing on X-Weighted, but does it 3 days a week instead of 5. She also does lots of fitness activities such as roller-blading, skiing and has taken up golfing too. “I bought a treadmill for my house and watch all my junky reality TV shows while I’m on there,” she says.

Angela does get recognized by viewers. She says that one of the things people always want to know is whether she is still friends with Carolyn, who was pretty unsupportive and sometimes rude about Angela’s efforts to slim down. “I am absolutely, she is still a close friend of mine. She is over it and wants to be on X-Weighted now,” says Angela.

Although Angela still hangs out with the same core group of friends she had during filming, she has developed another group of friends that share her athletic interests. “Being fit just wasn’t their thing, but by also having friends that are more athletically minded, I stay more motivated,” she says.
