UI Grad Wants To Be ‘Biggest Loser’

Three out of 10 college students are overweight or obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control. This was the case for University of Idaho graduate Courtney Rainville , before she was a contestant on season 12 of “The Biggest Loser,” which premieres at 8 p.m. Tuesday on NBC. Rainville graduated in 2009 with a degree in communications and now works as an Internet marketing specialist in Scottsdale, Ariz. She was born in Lewiston and has struggled with weight since she was a young girl. “I’ve always been aware that I was overweight,” Rainville said. At 270 pounds, she said there were many moments throughout her day when she couldn’t fit comfortably in clothes and couldn’t cross her legs. She said she is 24 years old and had never had a boyfriend or gone on a date/ Lindsey Treffry , UIdaho Argonaut. More here. (Photo of Courtney Rainville courtesy of NBC)
