Christina "Gigi" Filippi is a call center sales manager in Hendersonville, Tenn. After establishing an employee-run wellness program in her office, she has lost more than 97 pounds.

"I work 60 hours a week. My biggest weight loss challenge has been being able to find the time to concentrate on myself. I am a single mom, and I always felt like it was selfish to concentrate on me," Filippi said in an HBO documentary film called "The Weight of the Nation," which premiered Monday night.
