Congratulations Patrick!!

The Biggest Loser Resort down in Malibu just had to have search and rescue get one of their guests off of Backbone Trail in the after she fell off the trail and broke her ankle. She rushed her by ambulance to a nearby hospital and treated.

This woman wasn’t a contestant on the show. Just paying huge money to get fit at the resort. That didn’t turn out to well. I wonder if she’ll go back and finish after her ankle heals or if she’ll just sue Biggest Loser and stay fat?

The Biggest Loser’s second-place winner Ashley Johnston (lost 161 lbs.) and the at home winner, Koli Palu are in love! In fact, they are getting married!

Their romance didn’t begin till after the show was over,
“I was dating a few guys from home, but I was never as happy with any of them the way I was with Koli,” Ashley tells Star.
“That’s when I realized I loved him. I was actually on a date and ran outside to call Koli Bear.”
Ashley is still in Tennessee and Koli is in Northern California so they are making a long distance relationship work right now while planning towards their wedding. How sweet is that?! I love the relationships that come out of Biggest Loser.

Who woulda thunk it? The Biggest Loser’s Jillian Michaels wasn’t always the super fitness queen that she is today. No. Jillian had a very troubled childhood that got her very angry and overweight. She opened up to Redbook about her past and how Karate was the turning point (for the good) in her life.
Biggest Loser – Jillian Michaels Lands Her OWN Show ‘Losing It’
“I was a really disturbed kid. You know how kids have night terrors? Mine were really bad. I thought sharks were coming out of the drain in the bathtub. I couldn’t sleep at night, every night, waiting for aliens to come. I’m not kidding you: I. Was. Traumatized. And mom got me into therapy. They were kind of midlife-crisis-ing, and I was sort of the afterthought. I became pretty angry — no one wanted to deal with me — so when I was 17, my mom was like, ‘You’re not living here.’ We were fighting. Karate saved my life. It all stopped the day I broke two boards with a kick.”

I am so glad that Jillian is opening up so everyone can see that she didn’t come from a perfect place and that she also struggled with weight. She’s just as human as the rest of us and her heart is huge.

The Biggest Loser’s Jillian Michaels is one feisty trainer who knows how to shed the pounds off of contestants every season. Ladies Home Journal sat down and chatted with the spitfire where Jillian ended up revealing that she is bisexual.

“Let’s just say I believe in healthy love. If I fall in love with a woman, that’s awesome. If I fall in love with a man, that’s awesome. As long as you fall in love…it’s like organic food. I only eat healthy food, and I only want healthy love!”

Last night was the much anticipated premiere of season 9 of The Biggest Loser. This one is entitled The Biggest Loser: Couples, only the contestants aren’t all ‘couples’ like relationship wise. They are family pairs. This season boasts the biggest/heaviest to date and is leaving Bob and Jillian a little overwhelmed.
Right off the bat the new contestants were given their first challenge: doing their first weigh-in in front of their friends and family, in their home towns. Very humiliating to say the least, but I can’t think of a better way to be held accountable. Very clever NBC.
Once they arrived at The Ranch, the competition began with a 26.2 mile stationary bike ride, spilt between the pairs. The first 9 couples to complete the task could stay, the last two couples were sent packing, well they never even got unpacked!
The first couple that completed won immunity and that was Miggy and Migdalia. Let me tell you, these ladies are full of heart and they are going to rock this competition. I was very impressed. They kicked butt in that race! Cherita and Victoria lagged way behind and then Victoria spazzed out and couldn’t complete the race. O’Neal and Sunshine also failed to finish in time. So those were the two couples sent home. On their way out though, Bob and Jillian stopped their limos and revealed that they will go home for 30 days, then return to the ranch to face off against each other, whoever has lost the most weight at home will get to stay on The Ranch and the other couple will be sent home for good. Fair enough!
The Last Chance Workout was comical. Everyone was freaking out, puking, falling over. It was a fat mess. But that is how this show is done.
The weigh-in was impressive. But the couple that fell below the yellow line was John and James, the twin brothers. They each lost 23 pounds but it wasn’t enough. They ended up voting off James because he has a bad knee and wouldn’t make it long either way and everyone wanted to give John a chance to go far.
That about sums it up. I am excited to see the crazy results this season will produce.

The Biggest Loser didn’t crown Amanda Arlauskas as the winner of the show, but she is a winner in her real life. The show gave her a new life! She lost 80 lbs on the show!
In Touch got to sit down with Amanda and find out how she plans to keep all that weight off and how the show has changed her entire life!
Do you find you act differently in social situations now?
In the past, I was kind of the girl who stayed to the side, never wanting to be the center of attention. Now I walk into a room and I’m glowing and happy, and I want to be the center of attention. I’m confident, and I don’t feel like I have to hide anymore. I’m not shy for people to see my new body and how hard I’ve worked.
Do you notice people treating you differently?
I get a lot of male attention now, and it’s a lot for me to take because I never really had that before! I was always told, “You have such a pretty face,” but I knew my body was always keeping me back from anything really happening. Now I have a lot of guys trying to talk to me and get in touch with me, and it’s flattering — but I’m definitely not used to it!
Do you have any tips on staying motivated?
My biggest motivation is looking at before pictures and thinking about how sad I was. I worked so hard, and I can’t imagine going back. I just felt like a horrible person when I was overweight because that wasn’t who I was inside. I was tied to this ball and chain because I was overweight. Right now, I feel the best I’ve ever felt.
What was the hardest part of being on the show?
Exposing your life to millions of people and allowing cameras to film you 24 hours a day, getting on a scale in almost no clothes and letting people see that dreaded number on the scale. But then the next day, they can catch you at your best moment. That was the ultimate reward!
