“To my fellow Extreme Weight Loss @extweightloss sis, @brandimallory, you will be missed. I’ll never forget watching your season during season 5 boot camp and it inspired us to keep going.
“Your episode was my favorite because we had so much in common, from pageants to makeup artists and just a love of life. When my episode aired a year later, you reached out and even though we never met in person (at that time), you and I became sisters, because only a small group of us know what life was like on the show and life after the show.’

Maxile continued, “We finally met in person a few years later when you came to spend time with me in Cali and it was like we had known each other all our lives! Girl, I enjoyed our weekend and we stayed up for three days talking about everything. We laughed and cried, we created a project together and I knew we would be sisters for life.
‘You have truly made an impact on this world with your enthusiasm and your passion for body positivity. I am blessed to have experienced you in this world. I love you so much sister.”
