The Biggest Loser: Find Out How Patti Anderson Is Losing the Weight at Home

Plus, how will daughter Stephanie do now that she's alone at the ranch?

The Biggest Loser sent home one half of Team Purple last night, but mama Patti Anderson is still kicking it into high gear at home, and she says the weight-loss series experience has changed her life.

According to Patti: "Every part of my life has improved in one way or or another. It's just a true gift that I finally had this breakthrough. The show propelled me, but I'm willing to do the hard work. Everyday life has just gotten sweeter and more beautiful."

So how is Patti eating right and exercising at home, and how will daughter Stephanie do now that she's alone at the ranch? Here's what we learned:

Patti said of daughter Stephanie, who tearfully confessed in the season premiere that she's never been in love and who now has to face The Biggest Loser ranch alone, "I have no doubt she will rock...I know she'll miss me, I miss her, but that won't stop her. She'll go all the way."

As for Patti's diet and exercise plan, she said: "Right now I'm still only eating chicken, turkey and fish. I haven't reintroduced beef or pork or lamb into my diet, and I don't know if I will or not. I'm also eating lots of veggies and salads, and I never feel deprived. I never feel hungry. The one thing I have to keep out of my kitchen is peanut butter, that is my sinful pleasure, and I can't even have it in the house."

Patti's workouts stay varied with both indoor and outdoor exercise: "In the gym, I love the StairMaster. Outside of the gym, I run the reservoir every morning—well, maybe not every morning—just when there's no weather!" And that's not all, she told us: "On Thanksgiving, my family and I ran a 5K. That was amazing for all of us. It's a new tradition."
