After the 2006 accident that claimed her husband and children, Abby Rike fell into a deep depression, resulting in a major weight gain. After a stint on The Biggest Loser, where she lost 100 pounds and gained a new perspective on life, Abby quit teaching and now travels around the country speaking to a variety of different groups about her physical and emotional journey.
"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 for
The Biggest Loser and author of Master Your Metabolism
"Deeply moving...yes. Inspirational...absolutely. Life
changing...without a doubt. Abby Rike's story is birthed from the
depths of human tragedy. But her hope and joy radiates in the midst
of her tears and fears. After reading this beautifully visceral and
compelling story, you will not be the same."---Jill Kelly, author
of New York Times bestseller Without a Word
"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
"WORKING IT OUTis no starry eyed Pollyanna faith story. This is
real, raw and refreshingly hopeful all at once. I truly couldn't
stop reading once I started. Abby Rike grabs you, invites you into
her story and gives you hope that your story can end well too.
Because Abby is uncompromisingly real with you, she gives you
permission and even inspiration to get real with yourself, your
issues, your disappointments and your potential. If you need
someone to show you the powerful person who lives within you, then
you need this book. You will not be disappointed!"---Jennifer
