Biggest Loser Club
Train with Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels
BACKGROUND
Nearly five years ago NBC introduced some of the biggest losers television has ever seen- and audiences couldn't have been more enthusiastic about embracing them and cheering them on. "The Biggest Loser" will begin its eighth season in the fall of 2009 and has grown to become one of the most popular programs on TV. Not only has Biggest Loser touched millions of Americans- but now reaches more than 50 countries, with places like Australia and Guam hosting their own series.
Each season the show introduces teams of people battling serious weight problems. During the fifth season, the show had ten teams of two couples competing to win; in season 5 they introduced a teams-of-two couples format; in season 6 they hosted a families format, season 7 returned to couples and season 8 will go back singles.
In the beginning, the teams are competing to win a cash prize of $250,000 and the title of Biggest Loser; but after a few weeks, they start to discover themselves and become more interested in getting healthy. The player who loses the highest percentage of body fat during the program wins. But ultimately, they all go home big losers who've won even more.
As the popularity of the show increases, so does the audiences' interest in trying it for themselves. The Biggest Loser Club now makes all of the expertise and tools used by the contestants available to you at home. Trainer Bob Harper, a renowned personal trainer, says that those following the home-version likely will not realize the same results as those on the show, simply due to circumstance. The contestants are in a highly focused environment for 12 weeks, without influence of typical daily stressors like children, work and chores.
Trainers Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper have each published books with additional fitness and diet insight. During season five, Biggest Loser partnered with Bistro M.D. to provide the Biggest Loser Meal Plan, a home delivery meal service with healthy, chef and doctored designed menus.
In addition, The Biggest Loser Resort at Fitness Ridge located in Utah offers a structured, affordable and weight-loss program for those who want to lose weight The Biggest Loser way but without all of the cameras and popularity. The resort accommodates adults and teenagers and emulates the same successful features of the NBC hit reality show with its calorie-controlled and chef-prepared meals, energetic workouts, motivating personal trainers and helpful dietitians.

I will be 60 yr. old this year, & I am disabled, but in the last 3 years, I have lost 170 lbs. I have SLE/RA & a few other Diseases...I gained a lot of that excess weight, while being on high doses of Predisone..I can not exercise very much (especially, not like they do on the show...) But, when I started loosing, weight, due to a side affect of a SLE/RA Medicine, I decided to stop eating, Fried Foods, Sugar, Breads, Potato's...Junk Food, & the pounds dropped even more.....I don't have pictures, but a lot of people that will back this up...I went from a size W/28 skirt/ 3 or 4 X blouses, sweaters, coats, pants TO A Misses/Regular size 14/16 or Large...(Went down 14 dress sizes) but, I find my self still going to the Plus sizes 1st then remembering they DON'T FIT anymore...It is nice to PICK OUT WHAT I WANT TO WEAR, not What I can get into.... PEOPLE, with Diseases, Disabled, can do it too.... If I DID. anyone can........

I'm 11 years old and I always look forward to tuesday to watch bigest loser I love it its so cool. I hope roger wins.
I watch your show and cry. My son who is only 22 years old is over 390 lbs. and 6 feet tall. His weight has him depressed and stopping him from living. I believe if he was on your show it would give him the incentive he needs to live and at least try to loose weight. Would you at least consider him for your next show.. Maybe of young men needing to loose weight for the theme. His stomach hangs over his pants like a T-shirt and I know even though me makes jokes about it.. he is embarrassed ... he stays in the house most of the time, and eats through out the nite. Please help him....

How do I get on the show.
I am 9 years old and I think biggest loser is funny and one of the best T.V. shows on EARTH!
I appreciate the show, for its a motivational tool to help those people who are a little lukewarm in doing the things they need to do concerning their physical health.
This has been the BEST season of the Biggest Loser! This season, there has been so much harmony toward the end of the show amongst the contestants! There is still a great deal of competition, but there is alot of concern for the other contestants, and that is so much fun to watch!! The younger girls on the show showed a great deal of immaturity, and now that they are gone the harmony is Great! I love this show!!!!
I am a 35 year old mother of three feeling like my health is changing. I need help, how can I become a contestant. I hope Ali wins
