Allie Lansman, 20, is from Fort Dodge. She says she lost 50-pounds by exercising and eating right.

Lansman is now majoring in dietetics.

She’ll be on the Biggest Loser as one of four youth ambassadors called, “change agents” with the national 4-H healthy living management team.

She’ll be joined by fellow Iowa State student, Laura Meany who majors in agricultural studies.
