Andie Mitchell stepped on a scale on her 20th birthday and saw 268 pounds on the dial.
So she took action, and ended up losing about half her body weight over time.
She still loves food, cooks plenty of it, and writes about it at her blog"Can You Stay For Dinner?"
Her journey to the present day is detailed in her book It Was Me All Along.
Andie joins us to talk about who inspired her, and who she hopes to inspire in turn.
