Devastated and numb, she shut down. For nearly three years she walked through life like a spectre, present in body only. As she descended, her weight balooned.
Fortunately, Abby was not alone. She had loving parents, supportive friends, and a faith that continued to sustain her. Little by little she found the courage to return to life. JoiningThe Biggest Loserproved a catalyst for the physical and emotional changes she needed to make. Against all odds Abby gained strength, courage, wisdom, and continued her steadfast relationship with God. Instead of anger, she found herself slowly but steadily healing. She lost 100 pounds but gained hope.
Rike tells her story--from her joyous life before the accident to the unbearable pain that followed it and her eventual emergence as a woman reinvigorated by her faith in God. Today Rike's resilience and positivity are a testament to the power and importance of faith in the darkest hours.
媒体推荐"Abby Rike's story is not easy to wrap your mind around. She suffered a loss that seemed impossible to move forward from, but she has not only moved forward, she has thrived. She came to the ranch wanting to find her purpose, she now lives that truth and proves that you can too. After reading, WORKING IT OUT, I felt like I knew Abby's family and had walked those agonizing steps with her. I look at that smile that radiates from within her today and know that the transformation I was lucky enough to be a part of goes much deeper than her appearance." (Jillian Michaels, trainer forThe Biggest Loserand author ofMaster Your Metabolism)
"WORKING IT OUT is a powerful message of hope over despair - with a lot about weight loss to boot. Abby, a resilient woman who beautifully chronicles her climb up from the depths of despair, has a personal message for all who've let themselves go: 'the scary thing (was for me) to continue living out my days in the mindless, emotionless, purposeless state in which I'd been living. Some things are worse than death.'" (Dr. Rob Huizenga, Associate Professor of Medicine UCLA)
