Height: 5'5"
Hometown: Commerce, CA
Occupation: Custodian
Dina grew up in a typical Mexican family. Her home life consisted of many extended relatives in one household. Her grandmother and mother were the cooks in the family. They prepared food with lard, rice and beans for every meal. Needless to say, Dina's bad food habits started at a young age. When she was in middle school, her weight began to escalate with the death of her grandmother, with whom she was very close.
After the birth of her son, Dina's weight problems continued, manifesting in a 30-pound weight gain. She was devastated when told by doctors that her weight was keeping her from bearing more children.
Dina has never had a steady regimen of exercise nor a structured diet plan. Her excuse has been that she is too busy because of her involvement with her son's sports programs and her volunteer work. Dina now realizes that she has made a lot of bad choices and that this type of lifestyle cannot continue any longer.
