Maggie King of Denville, New Jersey is an outgoing 23 year old emotional eater. She admits that she would eat when she's feeling any emotion. Moreover, she works at Chili's, where she gets her food for free. "Thank God for Camp Shane, where I have been both a camper and a staff member for 11 years. I'd probably weigh 700 pounds by now if not for my summers there!" Maggie admitted. A people person, she enjoys being around her friends and just hanging out. Sadly overweight all her life, she uses humor as a distraction from her obesity. She said she was always the funny girl and the best friend, but never the girlfriend. She plans to change all this with her New Year's resolution of having the courage to ask a boy out.
Best friends and co-camp counselors at Camp Shane, Maggie and
Jenn teamed up on a mission to lose weight on NBC's The Biggest Loser, where they were Team Purple. Maggie initially weighed in at 239 lbs.
