The Biggest Loser is back again and this season they have the largest contestants ever! If you thought Shay and Daniel where big, wait to you see these guys. This year the theme is couples. All the contestants are in groups of two and are related to their partners.

The season started with a twist: all the contestants had to weigh-in in front of their family and friends, right there in their home town. This was a shocking revelation to stand in front of everyone you know and show them how fat you really are.  I would have been in tears and I weigh less than all of the contestants.

At the ranch, they had a challenge.

They had to ride a stationary bike for 26.2 miles, an average of about 13 miles per person. The first team to finish won immunity; the green team, mom Miggy and daughter Migdalia won. The last two to finish were sent home. The yellow and blue teams finished last and were sent home.  They learned they would return in 30 days and face off for a chance at the ranch.

The remaining contestants had the normal brutal workouts and tips by trainers Bob and Jillian.  Quiet mom Cheryl broke out of her shell and released all her frustrations in the gym. I almost fell of the couch laughing at this woman screaming and punching the bag.

The weight-in brought some astounding results including two record breaking weight losses. Miggy and Migdalia took to the scale first. Miggy’s starting weight was 240; she lost 13 pounds. Migdalia started at 265 pounds and she lost 16 pounds. Sam and Koli make up the grey team. Sam started at 372 and lost 29 pounds. Koli weighed 403 and lost 18 pounds. Daris (346 pounds)  and Cheryl (227 pounds) weighed next. Daris lost 29 pounds and Cheryl lost 14 pounds. Darrell and Andrea weighed 413 pounds and 298 pounds when they started. Darrell lost 30 pounds and Andrea lost 14 pounds. Twin brothers John and James started the show with only a pound difference in weight. John weighed 484 and James weighed 485. They both lost 23 pounds. Melisa (233 pounds) and Lance (365 pounds) lost 19 pounds and 21 pounds. Patti and Stephanie started at 264 pounds and 243 pounds. At the weigh-in Patti broke the record for the most weight lost by a female in one week with 23 pounds. Stephanie lost 18 pounds. Ashley and Sheri took on the scales with starting weights of 374 pounds and 218 pounds. Ashley lost 21 pounds and Sheri lost 17 pounds.  Maria and Michael took the scales last. Michael is the heaviest contestant ever on The Biggest Loser with a starting weight of 526 pounds. Maria weighted 281 pounds. Michael broke the record for the most weight lost in a single week with 34 pounds. Maria lost 13 pounds.

Twins James and John were below the yellow line and James was sent home.
