Okay guys, very funny, but no one is going to read an article about me.
What’s that? It’s about the show The Biggest Loser ? Oh goodness me, how incredibly embarrassing.
Today, we talk “The Biggest Loser”.
You remember that show where all the… uh… really hefty people all get together and lose weight? The one who loses the most weight is dubbed “the biggest loser” and they win a bunch of money?
Yeah, we’re going to be doing a kind of “where are they now” segment. So ready yourself, dear viewer.
Ryan Benson: Before
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, people of all ages, step right up to see the world’s first “biggest loser”.
The first ever to win the competition in 2004, only one question remains… did he keep off the weight?

Look at that smiling face! Well, unfortunately for him, he’s been fluctuating weight ever since the show ended.

Luckily, this is one of the instances from The Biggest Loser where we get a happy ending.
Helen Phillips: Before
Finally, we’re going to explore the whereabouts of the Seventh season winner, Helen Phillips.

Michelle’s “Now” story is pretty great. She was the oldest person to win the competition, and as of now, she’s only gained back 18 pounds!
