It was semi-finals week on Dance Your Ass Off and the remaining four dance contestants received a va-va-va-voom makeover for a photo shoot with the magazine Life & Style.
As they were primped and prodded, each of the contestants saw firsthand how their sweaty moves have drastically altered not just their looks but their measurements as well as their confidence.
Their before and after images shocked even themselves. Shayla’s new-found pride in herself inspired her to vow that she would never again allow her weight to reach as high as it was when she first started the show.
Things were not the typical sunshine and roses for Ruby this week. What started out as a celebration spiraled into a lot of self-doubt, depression and fighting to find the motivation to go on.
She weighed herself for the first time in two weeks, to see that she’d dropped to 323.6 pounds. Jeff pointed out she was losing at a rate of about five pounds per week – which is definitely a healthy rate of weight loss. However, a few days later she went to visit her nutritionist Helen who also weighed her in and found that Ruby had actually gained about 20 pounds, as she weighed in at 355 pounds. She was shocked and just kept saying “no way.”
Her nutritionist, trainers and even roommate Jeff prodded to find out where she fell off. She admitted to not using the OurLife meals, not using her food journal, and not exercising each day. She expressed her anger at the scale, but recognized that the fault was her own.
We’re just weeks away from the September 15 premiere of Biggest Loser season 8, as the show introduces the newest group of contenders to battle the bulge on a national stage. This season, it’s all about second chances, and we’ll see 16 people who are ready to take everything this chance has to offer.
Trainers Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper will join host Alison Sweeney once again at the Biggest Loser ranch, and work with these 16 contestants to overcome emotional, physical and mental barriers that helped put on this weight and kept them from taking it off.
Without further ado, meet your Biggest Loser 8 contestants!
Daniel Wright – 20, Willow Spring, NC. Sound familiar? He should. He was a participant in Biggest Loser 7, and still has plenty of weight to lose!
