Mallory appeared back in 2014 on the aforementioned program. <\/p>\n
In a 2018 YouTube interview with local Atlanta journalist Kirby Carroll, the makeup artist shared how she ended up on the series.<\/p>\n
In an unfortunate and ironic twist, Mallory said at the time that it was the death of one of her sorority sisters at the age of 29 that prompted her decision to slim down in significant fashion.<\/p>\nBrandi Mallory competed on Extreme Weight Loss back in 2014. (Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cI was literally waking up every day like\u2026 this may be my last day waking up, like, I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen for me,\u201d Mallory five years ago. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhen it\u2019s playing on your mind that I might need to do something about my weight, because I\u2019m afraid I might die too, then you might need to pay attention to something like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
No cause of death has been announced.<\/p>\n
According to an obituary posted on Legacy.com, a memorial service will be held for the late star on November 19.<\/p>\nBrandi Mallory has passed away at the very, very young age of 40. (Facebook)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nMallory also said in this interview that she tried out for The Biggest Loser and then shifted to Extreme Weight Loss after not making the cut for the former competition.<\/p>\n
\u201cLiterally every footstep since then has been God. I prayed over that application before I sent it off; I prayed every step of the way,\u201d Mallory said at the time.<\/p>\n
On the ABC show, Mallory revealed that she weighed around 329 pounds at her highest mark. <\/p>\n
During her run on Extreme Weight Loss, she competed in the Half Ironman, swimming, biking and running for a combined 70.3 miles in less than eight hours to finish this incredible challenge.<\/p>\n (Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe 40-year-old \u2014 who became known on social media for dancing and sharing makeup tips \u2014 shared her final Instagram post on November 3.<\/p>\n
