Kai Hibbard    

Body Acceptance Activist & Contestant on "The Biggest Loser"

Kai Hibbard is a body acceptance activist, motivational speaker, writer, rebel, nerd at heart and hot chocolate connoisseur, with a knack for talking loud.

Kai was first cast into the spotlight through her participation in, and subsequent denunciation of the weight loss game show The Biggest Loser. Going through the program, she realized the negative impact the show had, not only on her own life, but on society in general. Vowing to be part of the solution rather than part of the problem. Kai has fought, often as the lone voice, against unrealistic and damaging message in the media regarding our bodies in general. Over time that struggle has been featured in countless magazines and newscasts, both domestically and internationally, ranging from The Huffington Post, Time Magazine, Good Morning America, ABC News, CBS News, E!, Star Magazine, US Weekly, People, TMZ, The NY Times, The NY Post, Inside Edition, Redbook, Access Hollywood, FoxNews,The Globe, Jezebel, Huffington Post Live and Upworthy, where Kai's honest, straight forward approach to her own story never fails to shine through.

Drawing on experiences from her own journey as well as her education in psychology and social work; Kai explores living healthy and happy with her body in a society that inundates people with the message that she shouldn’t. Through well researched and empirically backed discourse, she encourages people to think independently and critically about the messages they are being sent in the media. She urges people to be comfortable in their own skin, embrace who they are, and own the space they take up in the world with both the good and the bad that follows, knowing this to be the best first step towards a happier, healthier existence.

Most of Kai's time is spent juggling family and professional life. When not writing for publications like xoJane, working on her book, speaking, being interviewed for various outlets or keeping people encouraged on social media, she is reading studies, preparing new presentations and plotting ways to keep her six year old in bed at bedtime.
