'The Biggest Loser' Tracey the stay-at-home mom who battles with depression

On this season of “The Biggest Loser” Tracey is the homemaker whose husband is away for long periods of time while serving our country. Tracey is 37, and lives in Allen, Texas.

A classic Southern belle, Tracey grew up by the coast of North Carolina. Always full of energy, she is the life of the room from the moment she walks in. You can usually find Tracey shuttling kids back and forth to school and sporting events like softball, basketball, baseball and gymnastics.

Tracey did not start gaining weight until pregnancy, going from 113 pounds to over 250 by the time she had her fourth child. A combination of unfiltered eating during each pregnancy, and her husband being deployed for long periods of time with the Marines led to a constant struggle with depression, which led to more eating. Food was a crutch for Tracey and she turned to it constantly. She would not eat in front of others and when she did, it was a meager salad.

Weight loss to Tracey is something she has on her brain when she goes to bed at night and when she wakes up in the morning. She wants to be able to run with her husband, who was a Marine, and not be completely out of breath. Tracey would like to take on the burden of providing for their family, and the prize money would be a great help to her husband's business.

    No one is going to be seeing Tracey favorably after last night's episode. Apparently, she hasn't watched prior seasons where being the villain (or a loose cannon) gets you nowhere in the game...and may get you some death threats from the general public.

    A real B...! I am glad that I do not know her personally! It may be a game, but she can have some heart! Must like not being liked!

    Gotta love her where she's at. She's obviously struggling... but aren't we all. Remember that the show is edited to make it more suspenseful. I wish Tracey and all the contestants wellness on the inside and the outside. :o)

    I love Tracey. She isn't a bit mean and she hasn't done anything wrong. Not doing what everybody else wants you to do does not make you a bad person. I think she has more guts and more determination than anybody else out there. Go Tracey!

    I can't stand Tracey! She may be competitive, but, she has no heart or integrity...definitely not someone I would want to befriend!

    I just realized that I worked with this person at Newark Electronics in SLC...she was a horrible co-worker who spent most of her time shopping for sugar daddy's online instead of working. She was also the consumate back stabber.
