Biggest Loser Contestant  

I'm not a fan of the show but I have watched several episodes from older seasons in passing. By the end of the season, that guy would look thinner in the face, but his body would look like fat was sucked out of it, the excess skin would hang limply on his side, his chests, arms and legs. It's the price they pay for the weight they gained: they stretched their skin so much, it would be impossible to shrink it back through normal means. If they wanted to look better after the season, it would be a personal choice to undergo surgery to get rid of the excess skin.

It's nice of you to look at him past his physicality. I think that's a true virtue that I find hard instilling in myself. It's just that I believe that the body usually reflects a person's long term choice. Sure some people are perpetually skinny even though they finish a tub of ice cream every other night, and sure some people have physical abnormalities that make them bloat in a week. But those skinny people who rely on their metabolism are often weak, and those with hypo metabolism are often fatter than they should be -- all because they didn't make a choice to live a healthier lifestyle.

Oh I want to watch too. I want to see the guy you are talking about and support him and make me see his development as day goes on the contest. And I want to know what he will look like we he is finally lost his wait. I will research for this show on the net and see the guy. And I will watch it too,

I have to share a story about myself, because I have a weight story. I used to be thin, but then I gained weight. And now I'm losing weight again. Trying to get into a good size. I used to look good. I still look good, but I'm not pleased because I want to look better. I probably won't watch the show.

i just read the story myself - he weighs 526 lbs... how much is that in kilograms??
i guess when you put them all (the big-size contestants)together - we dont really how 'big' they really are..
but i will agree with you.. the guy is handsome - and i am quite curious, if he would still look handsome, when he's gone slimmer... u know he'd probably look handsome with 'round' face..
still.. i watch the show sometimes.. but i think we are still airing the 'older' seasons (not the latest) - in fact, this show has such a big following in Asia, that AXN has even started a brand new 'Biggest Loser - ASIA' recently...

Hi, Lily!

I do watch 'The Biggest Loser', but sometimes I only have the time to watch the repeats. However, there was a few months ago where I did follow one season that during the end of the season, I was so amazed and quite inspired to see that almost all of them have transformed. They looked so good and healthy. You couldn't even imagine that at one time they were a bunch of overweight individuals. Right now, I am watching 'The Biggest Loser Asia' and I can't wait to see how they perform and yeah, how they look like 'after'. I think it's great that they choose to change and stay healthy for a better living.

You should totally watch! It's a great show and very motivating. I haven't heard about this biggest contestant ever, but you have to consider he may look thinner based on his height. The biggest I think was around 450 pounds? I don't remember exactly.

Anyway, often times they look AMAZING by the end of it! There are a few who end up looking just alright, but there are many times the person turns out to be very attractive and all these years they never knew it because of the weight covered it up.

Check out my slideshow to see the before/after from last season. I don't usually link up my articles but thought you might want to see this :)

I think that he is going to look phenomenal when the journey at the Biggest Loser ranch is over. I know that after losing the kind of weight that he is most likely going to lose over the course of six months he will most likely have to have cosmetic surgery to get rid of much of the excess skin that he is going to have, however, the greatest gift that he will likely get out of his journey will be the longer lifespan that he will have after it is all said and done.

Well, I do agree that he is not that bad looking of a guy. Just glad to see that at 500+ pds he still had the stamina and the energy to want to do something about changing his life as well. And the great amazing thing after seeing the first week with him on there, he lost quite a bit the first week, and now is in the 400s. For me, this is one of the Best shows on TV and I personally look forward to seeing what they all can do.
