  Meredith began her career in photo shoots with Lucky and Cosmopolitan magazines but took a year off from modeling when she was unable to get jobs due to her size five figure. She watched what she ate and exercised until she succeeded in hitting a size two. Following her weight loss she modeled for GAP Body, Target and Sephora and joined the catwalk in the 2008 Fashion Week in New York City. She has been a runway model for Dolce & Gabbana, Baby Phat and Vera Wang.

• Ariel Meredith Quote

  "You know, Louisiana girls are curvy. I had a chest. I didn't care that I had some meat on my bones. I basically did portion control and exercise. I like to eat. I'm not going to starve myself to walk down someone's runway... and I'm not going in for a nip and tuck either. That's not me. I'm going to work with what God gave me."Model Girls: Meredith (February 1, 2009)
