Stacey Halprin

Actress, author and motivational speaker, Stacey Halprin is an inspiration to women and dieters around the nation. On Sept. 11, 2001, Stacey weighed 550 pounds, had Type 2 Diabetes and high blood pressure, and lived less than one mile from ground zero. As a result of her condition, she was unable to leave the area on foot when the planes struck the World Trade Center. During this time of national crisis, Stacey experienced a personal terror that changed her life and helped give her the courage to pursue bariatric surgery and regain control. To date, she has lost more than 300 pounds, resolved her Type 2 Diabetes and successfully made the journey from a morbidly obese woman to a healthy one.
