Biggest Loser Season 8 Is Underway – Second Chances

The new Biggest Loser Series has started, with Alison Sweeney hosting and fitness trainers Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels getting the 16 contestants working out and getting fit.

The Contestants for the Biggest Loser

There are many great characters this season looking to change their lives, to give themselves that “second chance” to live a better, healthier life.

  • Allen Smith: a firefighter who is so overweight that both his career and health is at grace risk.
  • Tracey Yukich: military wife and mother of four, who for years has been worrying about her family, and not looking after herself.
  • Abby Rike: who lost her family, two wonderful children and her husband, in a car crash, and is now looking to rebuild her life again.
  • Daniel Wright: who was season 7’s heaviest contestant returns to try to lose more weight and finish what he set out to achieve. He lost 142 lbs last season, but still weighs in at 312lbs, so has a lot more to go.
  • Shay Sorrells: a social worker with a stressful job, makes her debut as the new heaviest contestant, weighing in at 476 pounds.

The Biggest Loser has been running since 2004, and is now a worldwide health and fitness brand, which now produces DVD’s, meal plans, books, appliances, fitness equipment, supplements and other health and wellness products.
