Yana is from Seramban, Malaysia, has just graduated and is currently unemployed. She has been overweight most of her life, which has been hard for her socially and has made it difficult to control her asthma.
Her condition has become so severe that her doctor has told her that she must lose weight. But her current unemployment means she is stuck in the house everyday, which only adds to her weight gain and saps her motivation.
She has tried various ways to lose weight, including diet pills, supplements, exercise and dieting, but she’s yet to find a maintainable way to slim down.
Yana calls herself “a simple country girl” and feels that her weight has given her a problem with her self-esteem. She would like to meet a man and fall in love, however, she feels that first she must gain confidence and lose weight.
Yana can eat two packets of nasi lemak for breakfast and she loves junk food. She has one goal in Biggest Loser Asia: she wants to look hot, hot, hot.
