My name is Nicole Peel, I am writing on behalf myself and my cusin Sara Heater. For as long as I can remember we've been the big girls. I am 5"1 and wheigh 227 lbs. Sara is App. 5"6 and weighs in at 350. This to us, is more than jusy losing weight and exersising,this is a matter of life and death! Growing up our family never had a lot of money, our mothers and grandmother made large starchy meals that would stretch and feed our very large family. See meals in our family were not your typical mom dad an kids. Our entire fily showed up for almost every meal, lots of food and family. Several years of this type of eating eventually took its toll on our granny. Our grandmother died several years back due to complications from diabetes. Sara's mother, my aunt passed away a few years ago after a long battle with cancer. And as if thats not enough, my dad is currently batteling diabetes. We have seen first hand, these diseases and the long term affects of poor life choices. We do not want to be another statistic on our family. We choose life! I have an 8 year old daughter, she is starting to gain weight at an unhealthy pace, i feel like such a hypocrite when i talk to her about healthy choices. Who am i to say "eat some carrots instead of those chips". I want to be a good example for her, someone she can look up to, be proud of. So as you have read, this is more than losing weight, its about living, for us and for,our fily! Please consider our plea for LIFE!
I think i deserve to be on the Biggest Loser because i want a chance to be happy!!! I am 24 years old and have always been overweight.I struggled with my weight as a little girl all the way til now as an adult.I always felt self conscious about my weight, feeling like the ugly duckling because of it. I grew up to love my personality but you can't truly love yourself until you love everything, and that includes my body. I have had hypothyroidism since i was about 12, and then recently had a thyroidectomy. I just want a fighting chance at living my life to the fullest.I want to be able to have babies, and being so overweight, I can't do that yet and that breaks my heart. It scares me knowing that i have a threat of pre diabetes added onto my thyroid problems. I dont want to wake up one day and have missed out on things in life due to my weight. My husband is in the military, and we have been through deployments together and about to be seperated for a whole year again. Everytime he is gone i end up eating my feelings and this time, I wanna sweat and lose pounds instead!! I want to be healthy and in tip top shape so eveytime he has to leave he is not always worried about my health. All my life i tried different "diets" trying to lose the weight and it never stuck. I want to learn how to change my lifestyle. I am always described as a beautiful face who is fun loving and outgoing and i want the body to go with that!!! I AM the next Biggest Loser!!!! : )
Hello My name is Kimberly Cassidy, & I am posting this comment on behalf of my boyfriends mother, Kelli Brennan. She is one of the sweetest person I know & is constantly going out of her way for others. She weighs about 370 pounds & 5 ft. She has two kids, Brandi who is 22, & Dallas who is 18 years old. We have had discussions about what we can do to get her back on a healthy path but it never goes acoording to plan. At this rate she will prob not live to meet her future grand-children, let alone go through a normal day without struggles, & her own father will most likely live longer than her.. which is sad seeing as it could be different! PLEASE help US, & HER to become the BIGGEST LOSER. THANK you so much.
I'm making this comment on behalf of my sister. She is the most amazing girl I've ever known in my life. She's so selfless and cares about children and forgot to care for herself. She's also continuously supported chanllenged chldren and was the one that taught me how to enjoy and play with them myself. She was the one that taught me to enjoy life and play with them instead of feeling like I'm "taking care" of them. She doesn't judge or ever complain about her life or about others.
She's about 5'1 and probably about 210lbs. She has been in denial her whole life with her weight, but looks and numbers don't lie. I've been married for 2 years looking forward to having a baby and it hurts my heart to see my little baby sister act like it's okay that she doesn't have to date or fina a life partner. I wish I can support her weight loss, but it's hard to be by her to guide her in the proper diet as I live in California far from Chicago. She's been so stubborn or she makes it a joke mentioning that she doesn't want any shallow man to choose her for her looks anyways, but I know that it's this big wall that's put up to protect her ego. I want to cast her and give her the opportunity of her life to make a change. I love and care for her so much and being Asian (not that it's any excuse), I haven't been able to express my feelings in action or words that I just really want her to be happy and healthy. She's been the glue to keeping our family together and I want to ask you to cast her to change her life. Please change my little sister's life and give her a new start. She will be the biggest loser with the biggest heart.
I am 19 years old. For as long as I can remember I have always been bigger than girls my size. When I was in 5th grade I was already a size 4 in womens (in jeans) by the time I reached 6th grade I had jumped two sizes to a size 6. As I got older I kept jumping sizes. I feel my weight holds me back in many ways. I feel that I can not be myself around people because I am so big. I went to Kings Dominion this past weekend and a guy called me fat. It hurts to hear strangers randomly call you fat. I haven't heard someone do that in so long that I was just ready to leave and cry. I feel that my being over weight puts a strain on my relationships with friends and family. It's hard being over weight I would want nothing more than to just get rid of it!

Hi! My name is Michelle I live in Vallejo, Ca and i weight 250. I have been over weight ever since i have been young. I am tired of being overweight but i feel stuck and helpless. I lost control of my life I am now type 2 diabetes and have hypertension and I am sure with my rate i will continue to develop other disease. I have a 1 yr old daughter after 3 failed pregnancy because of weight problem. The last thing I want to not to see my daughter grow up and see her through important events in her life. I hope you consider me as a contestant. I have a lot of outgoing persinality to offer. I now i will be a good contestant.
I am 26 years old woman that currently weight 375. My whole life has been a struggle with my weight. I was brought to this country by parents when I was a child, we struggled living without a legal status. I was unable to participate in many things that regular children were as a cause, as I began getting older and understanding what it meant not to have your "papers" I began to find comfort on food. I always felt like I did not belong with my weight as well as with my nationality, I have always felt american but never accepted by the country i love until recently. I was unable to go to college and my dreams were shut down…I did not see a reason to fight a fight that felt never ending. I continuted to eat more and more everyday. After 15 years I was finally able to leave the country and decided to take a trip with my friends to the Bahamas. My weight was a struggle, I was unable to hardly walk without running out of breath. I was unable to enjoy of the beach because every movement was a struggle I was feeling tired and unable to keep up. I began a diet and have started excercising and here I am struggling I used to weight 382 and it has taking me over a month to accomplish the little weight loss I have had. I am dissapointed in myself, dissapointed I ever let myself get to a level like this. I want to eventually be a mother, find love and happiness but at this weight I won't be able to. Life has been challenging but I am attempting to make the right choices and move on to a healthier state of mind. I want to change my life, and I would love to finally one day see myself at a good healthy weight.
My sister and I need help. I weigh 260pds and stand 5feet 4inches and my sister weighs more than me and is a little shorter. I am 21 and she will be 31. My dad is a personel trainer but he has done all he can to help us, but we can't seem to get it done with him. I'm very concerned about our health because we can't continue to carry this amount of weight. I am a pop singing artist with a CD ready to be released but I can't shoot any video's until I get my size down. My sister has a 1 1/2 year old son but she has no energy to play with him. I think my Sister and I can bring to the show the passion,drive,charisma and charm needed to become the next biggest losers.
Its not actually myself who wants to apply for the show- however it is for both my brother and sister- my sister is 35 years old- and my brother is 32- they have both been struggling with their weight for years now. My sister is a mother to 4 beautiful kids- and recently took on taking care of my other niece that is not hers- she is a strong woman to be able to do all that- which gives her very little time to focus on herself. I just wish for her that everything she has wanted would come true- and i think that her weight is alot of what is holding her back. Her husband has been in Afghanistan for the past 10 months so she is raising her children by herself right now- and i would love for her to be able to do something for HER after her husband returns in January. She is about 260 lbs- and very top heavy. I would just like to see her be able to get back to the person she was about 12 years ago. She is beautiful, smart, giving and selfless- she truly deserves a chance at a new life. My brother on the other hand has always been heavy his whole life- people picking on him daily or ignoring him because of his weight and he has always been one to cover up his weight by humor and making others laugh- but i know deep down inside he is not the person that he would like to be. He is married with 2 beautiful kids- Will and Grace (honest) and I would lover for him to be able to do things with his kids that normal parents do, run- play- swing- all of that. But at the weight he is at- i don't see it happening unless he can make a change in a positive direction for his famliy. His name is Scott- and i think the highest he has ever weighed is 298 and he is 5'7". I know my brother says that he is happy but on the inside i don't think he feels it. We all as a family have had enough tragedy the past year or so- just a few months back we lost our great grandfather- it was to be expected- but what came next was never forseen- on the way home from my great grandfathers funeral- my aunt and her 2 girls were driving home- and not too far after leaving there vehicle was struck by a falling tree- no storm or wind- just a random act of God. The tree came crashing down on their vehicle as they were driving- killing my aunt and my 11 year old cousin instantly- leaving my 13 year old cousin to where she was hospitalized for a week after. I think the toll of that amongst other things have held my sister and brother back from getting out and trying to better both of their lives. I believe given the opportunity, my brother and sister would work as hard as ever to gain back what they have lost the past few years….their lives back. So please consider them as a contestant for your show- not because of any prize money- because in the end the prize will be the smiles that I will get to see on their faces when they meet goals that they have tried to achieve but have failed in the past. Thank you very much…
Im a 22 year old college students who has a love affair with food. I just need an extra push in losing some weight. Im very short at 5'1 so every pound I gain shows up tremendously. My favorite quoite is "Who says big girls cant have fun?" I must admitt I do have lots of fun but this weight makes it kind of hard to feel comfortable in my own skin. I think I should be a contestant because I will do whatever it takes!!
My name is keyiana,I am overweight I am 31 years old and 5'1 at 210 I have been trying to loose weight since 1998, when I had my daughter, I have tried diets, excercise, trying to cook the food right but its seems as though nothing helps, I did loose about 15 pounds last year that was only because I went through a state of depression about my weight, how I look, I don't feel pretty,I look at all of the skinny women that are my age even the ones that are older and I think to myself what a shame why can't you look like that or be that size. I try to work out all of the time. I even still have the taebo billy blank tapes but those to me just makes me hungry I get depressed because the women on the tapes are already skinny .I have used those in the past and it seems that they dont work. I come from a family where my grandmother had 13 children there are at least 8 diabetic that are living including my mother. There are about 98% of us that are obese including the grandchildren and my daughter.High blood pressure runs in the family as well. I just want to get help I want to get the surgeries but I cant afford them. This show makes me day-dream and wish how I could be a contestent on the show to break the family chain of having all of the issues especially for the younger generation in my family. Let them know especially my daughter who is now going through the bullying and teasing at school because of her weight stage that it can be done and just because we are this way now does not mean that we can't find another way.I know that I can be the biggest looser this will change history for me and my family!
I should be pick because MY FAMILY IS FAT!!!! My daughter is fat (very pretty but looks pregnant and a diabetic), my son is fat (does the works out but has the yo yo weight lost), my brother is fat (he is a minister not a good example), my sister is fat(she has HIV need I say more) , I have fat nephews and nieces (cant blame them), me I'm lazy, depressed, lonely, have High Blood Pressure, borderline diabetic,& etc…. The ages of us all range from 50 down to 10. I know you can't do all of us but if you at least help with two, we could encourage and get the others on board. I am the oldest with the typical overweight diseases. If I lost weight and lost it the right way I'm sure I could encourage the rest of my family because they all know how I hate most exercise. I never got that oh so wonderful feeling or boost of energy that everyone claims to get. But I'm willing to do any and everything to change my life and help this family from The fat family to THE FIT FAMILY!!!!!! Thanks
Hiii!!! I feel that I should be picked bc I want to inspire people how the show has inspired me. I am 29 275 at 5'7. I have always battled with my weight but after I lost my thyroid due to cancer the weight just kept coming on. In all the years that the biggest loser has been on, I have never heard of anyone having issues with under-active thyroid. I feel that if I was on the show we could help thousands of people who have thyroid issues. I hope I could have a chance to be on the show. I'm tired of hearing " you have such a pretty face." I'm insanely competitive as well. Hope to hear from someone soon!!!!

My name's Allyscia and I'm 18yrs old. I'm 255lbs and have been over weight as long as I could remember. I'm the biggest, heaviest person in my family, out of all my friends, & I'm tired of being "the fat daughter" and "the fat friend!" I've been trying for so long to lose this weight, but the most I've ever lost on a diet is about 30lbs, which is good, but not good enough. I overall goal weight is 145lbs. I'm 5'8" so I figure that would be a good, healthy weight for me. But in order to ever get there, I need & very much want the biggest loser to give me that push that I need! I want to be able to do the things I should be doing at my age. Just walking in the mall, I get exsausted! I hate having to shop at "the fat people stores" to get my cloths. I hate going to amusement parks, andhaving to worry if I'm going to fit on a ride or not. The only pesn I can blame is me. I've been living in denile for so long. But I'm the one that made me this way. I wuld always find a excuse not to exsersise, not to eat healthy… etc … but Enough is enough! Its time for a new begining. A new life. A new ME! It would be a Gods blessing to make it onto the biggest loser.
hello my name is tynisha im 25 and a mother of a 4yr old. all my life i have been overweight. i have always had a problem with it but i also had confidence in myself as well. but lately i have found myself getting bigger and bigger, i have lost a lot of self eteem and self respect for myself and i am looking to get it back. i have been in a relationship where i let him beat me down emotionally and mentally and in result of that i am now almost 400lbs, i can't physically play with my daughter for longer than 30 minutes, im depressed all the time, im always tired, and im sleeping very DEEPLY. i feel like i am killing myself day by day with my health. i am a great candidate for the biggest loser because i am determined to show my daughter what not to become. i want to show her that you should never let anyone have the power to let you kill yourself slowly and take your self esteem away, because that is what i have done. i want to show her that mommy can be healthy and happy again and its not too late for me. i want my life back and to be here for my daughter. i hope you agree with me and cast me on the biggest loser…
If I don't make some changes I will be dead before I turn 40. I am 5'4 and weigh 285 pounds. I found myself gaining weight during a 7 year severely abusive relationship. I never realized how much I had actually gained until I was diagnoses with diabetes and sleep apnea. My sleep apnea is so severe my doctor is not sure how I survived prior to being diagnosed. I have an excellent career and am very happy with my job. However, my personal life is a lot different. I help people for a living but I can't seem to help myself. I want to be able to live to have the family I have always wanted. I don't want to die young and I am afraid that's what's going to happen if something doesn't change. I am ready to make those changes. I just need some guidance and motivation to help me get there! I want to be able to run and play sports again. I am only 28 years old. I shouldn't have the body of a 60+ year old dealing with back pain and other health problems. Please help me lose the weight I need to and help me gain back my self esteem and confidence!

I am a 22 year old woman that recently graduated from college. During college,I've gained 60 lbs of weight. There is a history of dietbeties related to obesity in my family. I want to live healthy but do not know how to go about doing it. I have college loans to payoff so I can't afford weight watchers or other programs to teach me how to live a normal healthy lifestyle. Should I be selected to participate as a cast member, I will teach my other family members the techniques learned from this experience so they will stop having Lap-Band and Gastric-band surgeries to lose the weight. I'm interested because this opportunity can change my life and put me on the right path to a long healthy lifestyle. It will also help me find work in my career field, journalism.
People treat you differently when you're overweight. Your opinion doesn't matter as much, you're not the person they call to go catch a flick, they look past your intelligence and capabilities and end up hiring the better looking of the two… this has been my life. But "weigh" me down? it will not! I am 250 pounds and I am 24 years old. I just recently got engaged to the man of my dreams and besides doing this for myself, I want to do this for him. Doctors say because of my weight it'll b difficult to have children, and that will just crush me if we can't. Today I tried on a wedding dress for the first time and said to myself…no more of this. I know i don't have to thin to make it in this world, but i sure enough have to be healthy. I'm in law school currently, and upon passing the bar, I want to step into that courtroom with confidence and just looking fly. Its time for a new beginning. Everyone who posted above and below me really meant to say that Evie will be the Biggest loser! Let's go!
Hey Im 30 years old, have been an overweight person most of my life,I am 5'4 and 260 pounds.

Hey! me too…was just reading your blog, not sure if we're supposed to reply to anyone else's post, but just wanted to offer some encouragement. We'll get past this!
Hey I'm Jasmine LeDuff from Baton Rouge,Louisiana & I believe I should be on the biggest loser basically because I need to loose weight I am 5'8 285 pound yes well over weight. I won't give you a long drawn out story because there is none. I've done this to myself. All my life I've been "the fat kid" never have I been average. Ive allways made excuses to eat. & know look at me. Im determined but i need an extra push. Yes it hurts but I've learned to accept it but now I'm getting tired of it. I've tried dieting,cleanses & all nothings work. I have a wonderful personality very funny. Voted class clown my senior year I high school….hope I'm picked. Be blessed.
Woot Woot! Woot woot! I should be picked because I am overweight at 5'10" 280 lbs and I need to loose the dead weight!!! I am inspired by this show and I know I would kick butt! Ive always been active and I want that ME back. I dont want to divulge my "story" it could be a spoiler alert should I get picked to be on. Plus I want to put it and my weight behind me and live! Woot woot! Plus it would be awsome to be able to run a marathon. It has always been my goal and I want to do it before 30! Ohhh ok….40 but I will always be ambiguous @ the age even if you put me in a short shirt and spandex on tv.
Being on the Biggest Loser would be my chance at life. I have had nothing but pain over the last 14 years which is the God honest truth. I have had to have 14 surgeries to try and save my life. I now battle to save my leg I want to live but it is a hard battle every day. The weight comes on because of my limitations but I know I also limit myself. I need the help I want to change myself. I want to do it for my daughter who deserves to have a Mom to play with each day. I deserve to have a normal live back.

I am a 32 year old single mother . I have 4 children ages 12, 6, and two 5 yr olds. I have an overweight the majority of my life and need to loose at least one hundred pounds. I currently weigh 270 lbs, the doctor say if I don't lose weight I will have to be put on high blood pressure medication. I hate my lack of motivation , I hate that I can't play with my kids the I would like to because I'm so tired all the time, recently my counselor said that I am depressed in a need to go in a antidepression medications due to the way I am feeling. I want to get healthy not only for myself but for my children which I love deeply. I have tried several diets over the years and they just don't work. I don't know what else to do or know where else to go so I am having a desperate plea to the biggest losers team PLEASE help me!
My name is rose, I have been to two open casting this year, one in BJ, the other in landover MD, I have submitted my video and think I would be your next biggest loser. Everyone I know, knows I am trying to get on the show, and they all tell me if I would get picked the biggest loser rating would sky rocket,mist people who know me would tell you I'm the funniest girl they have ever met, I live making people smile and laugh, and for years I used humour as a way to have people never see the real me. The shy very self conscience girl I am, I have had a lot of tragedy in my life over the years and I guess that has made it hard to forget about. Since I lost two of my four children, I had a great idea to become a nurse which I did. I always help others, but never have done much for myself, so after much consideration and long talks with my husband and two sons, we all agreed I try out for the show. Because of quick wit and overall funniness, I think I would be a great contestant, I'm very competitive, have always been very athletic, and am sick of hearing you have such a pretty face if u would just lose weight, I want the body to match the face. I wanna be able to teach my sons good eating habits, and reinforce the importance of exercise. I want better for them and myself, before its to late and I die from the complications of being morbidly obese. In conclusion, I'm not going to give up on becoming a contestant, I want this, NO I NEED THIS. Thank you for ur time.
I feel I would be a good cannidate for this program. I am a 55 year old woman suffering with osteoarthritis. My being over weight has caused alot of problems for me. Last year my husband underwent a heart transplant and is doing much better now. I had a total hip replacement in March and have since had 3 dislocations. I feel it has alot to do with my weight. I will be in a hip brace for a couple of months to hopefully help with this. I am also raising a 6 year old child that I have had since she was 1 year old. I would love to do more with her activity wise but has really been a challenge with all the health issues in our family. If you would please give me this oppertunity I would be forever greateful.
My Boyfriend and I are a casting directors dream for this show. We are a dynamic couple who live in NYC. I am a Fashion Stylist who weighs 260lbs and he is a Financial Analyst who weighs over 400lbs. We have been together for 4 years and are about to get engaged (hopefully =) We thrive in many area's of our lives and pride oursleves in having a huge social circle. This year alone we have attended 13 weddings!! We are that couple with "gorgeous faces" and incredible personalities, whom everyone wants to be around. Our ONLY downfall our weight. We live daily dealing with the heartache that we can't seem to beat this demon which holds us back from being the people we were meant to be and live the life we were meant to live. My Boyfriend was an NCAA Laxrosse champion and is extremely competative. I KNOW that we will be unstoppable if given this opportunity of a lifetime!!!
I would love to be on the biggest loser to begin living. I'm a 28 yr old female that is 360 lbs and 5'7 I have little friends and have suffered from depression since I was younger. I have two kids but I don't have the energy to do day to day things.
I have struggled my entire life with my weight, even at my most active periods I never lost much weight. i have tried this and that, diets and exercize and nothing has worked for me. I am 20 years old and am 230lbs as of yesterday and my hope of being back under the 200 mark gets farther behind everyday. My brother died 5 years ago at the age of 25 from being over weight and everyday I fear that my fate will end up the same. I NEED this because I don't think I can do it on my own.
I should be picked because I have struggled my whole life with being "big" not having a fair chance at anything. Being over weight made me insecure so much over the years starting from not wanting my pictures taken before during or after prom to currently where I have reached 230 lbs. I was at my all time high after my 1st pregnancy of 255lbs. I've tried everything to loose the weight. Strict dieting, exercising excessively and nothing seems to work. Right now im trying the strict no carb diet n I have lost only 6 lbs in 2 months of starving myself.I am only 22 yrs old and myself and my kids deserve better. I want to be able to play with them without running out of breathe so quickly. There's over 8 people in my family with diabetes only 1 is juvenile. I am at high risk. Please help me!
i would like to be on the biggest loser because im 15 yrs old and i would love to be physically and mentally fit. i would like to turn my health lifestyle around.
I should be picked because i am 28yrs old and ihave 4 children) that i need to be healthy for they need me and i need to be here to teach them. All my life i do little projects like sing gospel all occasion when requested i went to school for modeling and acting and now doors about to open and more opportunities would come my way if i wasnt over weight. I stay depressed because and wanting to eat i tried on my own i would lose a few lbs here an there because of baby weight i need to lose 100lbs but i just dont have that nudge if i can get the training
on how to eat and be healthy and once i get that down i will never be big again. Also i dont want to go through life with people are saying she has a good voice, and a good looking face but the weight. i dont have insurance like other people the insurance i do have it dont pay for all of the tools if a man build a house he need tools in order i need tools to succeed to concquor this devistateing disease called weight to get back in shape. Also after you teach me the tools i need i can teach someone else.
This is the reason i want to be on the Biggest losers
I am 23 years old and have gained alot of weight since the birth of my son 5 years ago. I’ve tried diets and even weight loss surgery that didn’t work out for me. I believe my problem is a lack of motivation and when i watch this show and see how these trainers turn those who thought they were hopeless around i knew that this would be something that i would like to do.
I know there is alot of people on here and I am sure that they deserve this just as much as I do. I am 22 Years old and i am Almost 6 feet tall… I weigh 370Lbs… I have been big for the most part of my life…I have been on many diets. In one diet i lost just about 70Lbs (at that time i weighed 410) I had always wanted a family. Well, in Jan. 2010 I met the man of my Dreams and i became pregnant. We had our Daughter in Feb. of this year. She is my life and my dream come true. Considering I was told i might not ever have a child. I want to be able to be here for her, and to be the woman that is trapped inside of all this. I want to show my husband that he has changed my life, for the first time someone loved me for who i am and didn;t hate me for what I looked like. I want to be able to fit on a roller coaster with my daughter when she gets bigger… I want to take the worry off my parents minds cause they worry about me. I want this chance to change my life once and for all. I have been through so much in my past, I want to show the world who i really am underneath all this. I have never been able to wear cute clothes or anything, most of the time i cant even find Affordable jeans to wear. It is so embarrassing to me. I would like to see myself at 200lbs Losing the 170lbs would be a life changing thing for me. I would be able to run with my daughter (which will be happening soon) I just want to be somewhat Thinner. I am not asking to be a bean pole but i am asking for a life that I have never had. I have been overweight since i was 3-4 and it has not stopped from there. I have the biggest heart and an awesome personality,If given this chance I WILL BE THE BIGGEST CAUSE I KNOW A CHANCE WHEN I GET ONE AND I NEVER TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED!!!!!!
BECAUSE SOMEWHERE I HAVE LOST MYSELF….. I HAVE HYPOTHYROIDSIM….I H AVE TO CONNECT WITH MYSELF!!!!!
I WILLL GIVE GIVE AND GIVE !!!!! I AM A PEOPLE PLEASER AND I DON’T KNOW HOW TO CHANGE THAT!!!!!! I WILL CHANGE LIVES OF EVERYONE WATCHING!!!!!!! I PROMISE I WLLL MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!! PLEASE PICK ME!!!!!!! I WILL MAKE YOU A STAR!!!!!! ALLL I NEED IS HELP!!!!!!!! PLZ……..I’M READY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I should be picked because I have been overweight my whole life and I feel like I haven’t lived yet.. I am 35 years old and need to lose the weight. I would love to start living an active life, find love, keep up with my teens and start working on my bucket list. I would really work hard just need a little motivation.. Help me..
Hello, I am 27 years young male, i love life, sports, and being active ,my whole life. But I have also be over-weight while attempting to be a teen into adult hood, at one point in my life i peaked at 388lbs. which was at the age of 14yrs. old causing the onset of juvenile diabetes which has torn a huge hole in living a quote normal life. I lost the initial weight of about 83lbs then I hit the invisible ceiling at around 305lbs. I have since been hositalized because of these health complication caused from being over-weight and out of shape. I have adjusted my eating habits but I have not mastered the technique, or drive to lose the weight I need to. I absolutely need to lose the weight in order to be taken of of insulin injections which is one of the main reasons I need this push,inspirition, and education to prevent anymore complications. I also have a beautiful, and atheltic girlfriend whom i am also inspiried to lose the weight for because I want to marry here but I promised, my family, my girlfriend, and most importantly myself that I wouldnt ask her to marry me until I lost the weight and could participate in all the activities she loves so much. I want to be able to take off my shirt with pride, confidence, that I feel inside but not outside.This is an opportunity that I would work %120 too reach these goals and with the wonderful trainers, and staff I know I would lose the weight and enjoy the experience. For my health and a better life please give me this oppotrunity.
thank you,
My nAme is Brittany Feltner and I am 23 years old. I have recently gained over 80 lbs and have been watching my health deteriorate before my eyes. All through my childhood I was overweight. As many times as I have tried to lose the extra pounds nothing has kept them off. I now weigh 252 lbs at 5ft 3in. My family has a history of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and many more weight related illnesses. Ive recently been diagnosed with hypertension and accidentally saw on the doctors notes that I am morbidly obese. Those two words crushed my spirit more than any other verbal abuse I had ever recieved. At the age of 21 I became pregnant with my fiancées twins which later resulted in a miscarriage and a weight gain of 30 pounds. Later that year I had a knee injury which resulted in the other 50 pounds. I am over 120 lbs over weight. About to get married and graduate college and enter law school. My only concern is that I won’t live long enough to enjoy any of it. If I don’t get this opportunity I will continue to go up in weight and down in health. I need the biggest loser to save my life. My future mother in law is also obese. I am guessing she weighs upwards of 360lbs. Her doctor told her last month that if she does not lose the weight she will die. She one of the most compassionate people I have ever met and many daughter in laws cannot say that about their mother in laws. Unbeknownst to her I am going to apply for the biggest loser and hopefully get her to Audition. Otherwise we will die from a disease that did not have to control our lives. We need this

I believe I should be considered for biggest loser. Quite a statement when you consider the countless number of overweight Americans who are elligable, and interesting. I’ve been overweight since elementary school, and I’ve never been able to do a pull-up. That alone is sad enough. I’m a 24 year old who weighs 420 pounds. Most people I see my size can’t even get around, but I can. I’d love a chance to lose some weight, as everything I’ve tried to this point gives me the same non-result. PLEASE. I obviously need a drastic change, and if it’s not this, then I’m going to be looking into gastric bypass surgery. I have a great personality, and the drive to get this done. If I’m cast, I can not only win but lose more than anyone has on this show!
Well there is a whole lot to say. I am 34 years old and I have been over weight my entire life. I have tried to lose weight, at my heaviest, I weighed 295. Currently I weigh 255 and it yo-yo’s from 545 to 565. I do not know how to lose weight. I do not know what types of food I should eat, or how to find out. My daughter is 12 and she weighs 250 lbs. i am scared for her, she has been bullied at school for so long, and I want to be ale ot give her the tools she needs to lose her weight and feel better about herself. She has played softball, and is currently in swimming. But she is not able to keep up with anyone else on the teams and she feels so bad about herself. We have tried weight loss programs in the children’s hospital, but they speak at you and do not really try to help. Recently I found out that I am allergic to corn, wheat, soy beans, peanuts, walnuts, scallops, and sesame seeds. I am also type 2 diabetic and on blood pressure medicine. I feel like I have no where else to turn for help. I have NO IDEA what I can eat that is with in the restrictions of my allergies, and I want to be able to give my child the tools she needs to over come this morbid obesity. My heart is so heavy. I have a lot of physical problems that I know could be helped with diet and exercise, but no one can tell me what is right for me. i don;t want to leave my daughter without a mommy. She has been seen in the autism clinic for over 2 years now, and she has begun cutting herself. I AM SO SCARED!! I KNOW that the Biggest Loser Family has the knowledge and expertise to help the most difficult cases, and I truly believe I am one of the most difficult cases. This could be the only way i am ever going to get my family out of the rut we are in. I just need the knowledge and a shove in the right direction to help my daughter and everyone else in my family. I have a lot of over weight family and friends, and I would love to be the inspiration to help them change their lives! I am so tired of being asked when I am due! I just smile and tell them not for a while now. I cry every single day, and I pray that I can find a way out of this mess! I’m tired of not being comfortable in my own skin! It took a lot for me to sit down and write this, I truly hope you can help us, and I can in turn help the community! God bless!
I would love to be selected to be part of the biggest loser. one year ago I weighed myself at 360lbs and got down to 285lbs, and I am now back up to 305lbs, I have tried everything from dieting, to working out, to medicines. I need help to get my life back to to were I was when I was in the Army and felt like I really mattered to the people in my life. I want to be there to raise my two daughters and my new son that is on the way in Sept.
I can’t have children because of my weight please i need help
I know my wife and I would truly benefit from an opportunity to compete to be the BIGGEST LOOSER 2012.I’m a 42 year old husband,father,football coach and chef, 6’0 ft. 290lb Type 2 Diadetic with Hypertension, I have weighted as much as 330. My wife Debbie is 41 year old mother and office manager, 4’9 ft. 215lb and for the past 15 years has struggled with her weight. We have known each other for over 20 years, together for 5 years and married for 3 years, we have a blended biracial family of 7. Three years ago my life hunge in the balance when I had emergency Gallbadder surgery. Unfortunately my way of dealing with stress was to eat and for the past 2 years I’ve been unemplyed,I am will awear of my health risk. So the possibility of being on the BIGGEST LOOSER is a “Game Changing Moment” for us. We are looking forward to becoming the 2012 BIGGEST LOOSER. Far Rockaway Finest

Hello I am 21 and I weigh 266Lbs
I know you should pick me because I am sick and tired of being the way I have been all my life. But until now I just never had the fire in me to change. I really think if I get picked to do this it will CHANGE MY LIFE FOREVER. Ever since I could remember I have always been chubby or overweight. So naturally I got picked on and not excepted for my size. I have tried everything to lose weight, I even join a weight loss group when I was eleven years old, that didn’t work so well. So I pretty much gave up on trying to loose weight. Food became a comfort to me when I would be depressed on the inside because I never really knew how to handle my feelings growing up. Everyone knows me as the “Big Girl”, I just excepted it and my true friends Love me for who I am. It would be awesome to show them that I can do amazing drastic changes in my life. Since I do care about people so much they also have hurt me before in the past for teasing me about my size. Even though those people teased me, it made me who I am today. I want to do this for me not for them because I know that I am sick and tired crying over the bullies in my lifetime. I know I am not the biggest person in the choices you have but if you pick me you will not me disappointed with my performance because I want this more than anything. It would be a dream come true if you give me this chance. This would be so beneficial to me in the long run because I feel I have a lot to learn from the trainers. So I can live a better amazing healthier life. Motivation has not been my strong suit in the past so that is where you come in to kick my rear into shape. I will do whatever it takes if you pick me.
Ever heard of an overweight bootcamp instructor? That would be me! While I have come a long way in my fitness journey, I still have a “few” miles ahead of me…and I think participating in the next season of BL would be an out of this world opportunity to reach my fitness goals. It would also be an incredible inspiration for the strong, determined participants in my bootcamp class!
Hope to visit with you more!

Look no further, I am your next Biggest Loser!!! I am a very determined mother of 4. I am 360lbs of joy. There is never a dull moment around me. I dont let my weight hold me back. I am beautiful the way I am. However my size does limit me to an extent, I dont fit into places i would like to be. I love life and everyone I have in it. I have a heart of gold, and always put myself last this is how I got this way and I cant blame anyone but myself. My reason for wanting to be on your show is because I need to be healthy for my children and I feel that I will not be able to care for my mother when the time comes if I cant loose this weight, (she has huntingtons). I always have fun no matter what the situation, as far as my size I tell my friends I can fix it, I need duct tape to shape my body and fix a flat for my boobs…lol… But what I really need is the tools and support, with that I can do anything I put my mind to. I love all 360lbs of me, but it is holding me back from my full potential. So please Biggest Looser Help me to become healthy and give me the ability to prove to this world that I can survive the BIGGEST LOOSER. Thanks for your time and consideration!!! <3 Carrie
I am 20 years old and I have always been slightly over weight, but now there’s no questioning it. I always slowly gained weight but now its as if my cloths are shrinking over night. I don’t fit into anything, I can’t afford to buy more cloths, and I want to cry just looking at myself. It hurts to go up the stairs anywhere I feel like I’m going to have a heart attack. I find myself not enjoying doing anything if it requires me walking. I just want to be healthy. I want to be happy and I fear I never will be unless I lose this weight. I tried Atkins, no card, grapefruit, pills, ECT. Nothing worked id lose ten pound then nothing after that. I almost give up on myself. This would me my last hope. I’m 250 pounds and I’m begging to be on the biggest loser. Not for the money but for me.
I would love to be on the new season of biggest losers for many reasons, but the main 2 are for MYSELF and my 5kids! I’m only 27 and I’m 5’5″ and currently weigh 270lbs! I have had my children back 2 back and 5 c-sections! I have tried every diet…..every diet pill…the most I’ve lost was about 20lbs. I need your guys help. I’m very motivated to do this I just need help in the right direction. I use to be very small when I was younger and then I had a very traumatic/emotional experience that made me gorge on food! I eventually got over that started to work on myself then got involved in a very abusive relationship for an additional 7 yrs, psychical mental and emotional! It literally beat me down in every way I felt like I was nothing so I didn’t take good care of myself. In the process I had to give my parents guardianship of my 3oldest kids! I finally got out of that relationship but continued 2 gain weight! Being obese is really taking effect on my health and emotional well being and my kids well being! I just can’t get a hold of it myself I eat healthy and work out, but I’m doing something wrong!!! Please help me and allow me to have the chance @ being your next BIGGEST LOSER! I will be so greatful to you guys and to our god up above! Looking forward to hearing from you! Sincerely jennifer

I am writing because I feel like Biggest Loser my be my best chance at having a normal life. I am 31 years old, married with four children, Ages 3,5,8 & 10. My oldest son is diagnosed with PDD (nos)- Pervasive Developmental Disorder (not otherwise specified) which is an Autism Spectrum Disorder. I am a paraprofessional working with special needs preschool. I also work Michael’s craft as a second job. I have never really had an identity of my own, i was never accepted by my peers in any group or clique, because i was NEVER CONFIDENT enough as an overweight, child, teen or adult. I am only now at 30 (too many wasted years) starting to get to know the REAL me. Yet i am still inhibited by my wieght, i am over 200 lbs and have been since high school. I have never been thin or even a healthy wieght for my entire adolescent or adult life. I understand the NEED to be healthy. I feel like i do not have the tools to do it for myself or teach my children. My parents never taught me, and i refuse to continue the cycle. I have an 8 yr old daughter who is concerned with being overwieght, i try not to dwell on mine, and explain that skinny does not always mean heatlhy. Because i work two jobs and have four kids it is hard to get a good start on anything. I NEED BIGGEST LOSER to help me kick start my life, better late than never, but i don’t want it to be any later. I NEED some time to focus on me and with my plate sooo full, i can’t do it on my own. I applied for BL 3 yrs ago, and was not chosen, then found out i was pregnant with #4. I got with my hubby when we were in high school so i have never had the opportunity to focus on myself. I don’t even know what a thinner Bambi would look like. CHOOSE ME, and help me to help those who can’t, think they can’t and those who can’t afford to do health clubs or even BL/Jillian’s online progams. Like me, I cannot afford any of those forms of help. I NEED THIS, you cannot imagine how much.
I am 26 years old and battling to lose weight. I was only 152 pounds 7 yrs ago before I start having my children. I am now 225 pounds and struggling to lose it. My family has a history of high blood pressure and diabetes and I don’t want to start with these problems. I am a single mother of a 6,4,2 year old boys. And as active as they r I need to keep up. Being over weight can also be very stressful especially when your kids notice your weight problem. I AM THE BIGGEST LOSER!!!
As I sit writing this I do so with the heaviest of hearts. After being on a year waiting list for gastric bypass surgery, I meet with nurse today to be told that the surgeon will not perform it unless I consent to accept a blood transfusion if required. I am not willing to take that into consideration, and so I write to you hoping, praying for a chance to make my life right. I am 33 years old, and I feel that there is so much I have missed out on in life, and I want to make a change. I want to feel better, I want to walk ups stairs without being winded, I wanted to sit with my knees tucked into my chest. I want to be liked not because I am funny, but because I am pretty. I want my parents to not look at with concern, but with pride. I want to be happy inside and out. I want to live.
Who’s to say I am the best or the right candidate, all I know is that I want the training and necessary tools to lead a productive and healthy life for myself and my daughter. I can say it was easy as a child as we didn’t have much growing up, so gaining weight wasn’t an issue, but times changed, money changed, and well…the food started coming pre-packaged in “just my size.” Both my mother and I gained weight over the last five years and would desparately like to take it off. I am currently over 220 at 38, and my mother is over 350 at the age of 64. She has so much more to live for as her personality should be her wieght, not her body. I hope you consider my mother and I as a team, it would be a blessing.
Calling out to the creators of THE BIGGEST LOSER, PLEASE give me a SECOND CHANCE; I am a 260lb 19 year old female. I have been battling obesity the majority of my life, and I am dedicated to work hard, and change my life entirely for the better. I believe I am a good candidate to be on the “The Biggest Loser” because I am a unique individual. My friends would describe me as a blast to be around. I love to smile and I love to infect people with my charismatic charm. I have always considered my best times to be when I was laughing and making others laugh, I’m an all around happy person most of the time, but not when I see myself in the mirror. I have very low self esteem, and I always have. I am very hard on myself, and don’t take compliments well at all. My entire childhood I was picked on for being the “fat kid,” and that was and still is emotionally damaging for me. Being overweight is like having 10 tons of steel armor on every single day. I feel like people will not even give me a second glance for looking the way I do. Until I watched Season 10 of The Biggest Loser I felt there was no hope for me, and I was going to be stuck being a pretty girl stuck in a fat girl’s body. Olivia and Hannah from Season 10 made me feel worthy of my spot on this Earth. I saw those girls blossom each and every week on that Ranch, and I WANT that chance. I know that with the help of The Biggest Loser Trainers I can feel Pretty and Worthy. I know some people don’t think that they need the help of Trainers, but I Do. I want someone to yell in my face and tell me to keep going, I want someone to encourage me to dream bigger than I could ever imagine. Please Let Me Have This Chance.
Hello my name is Kimberly Vanderpool and I should be picked to appear on the Biggest Loser 2012. I am 29 years young am 5ft 5in and weigh 250 lbs. I work full-time for a local Oil & Gas Company. I have struggled for the last 10 years with my weight. I have reached a point in my life were dating can’t get any harder, I have tried many dating sites for example match.com, e-harmony. I feel that describing yourself is the hardest thing to do when it comes to dating profiles. I am tired of going into a clothing store and going straight to “Women’s World” and thinking to myself why the hell would they put this huge sign above my section. I have been single now for over 3 years and would really want to feel good about myself when I do begin to date. I am a very motivated individual and will do anything to drop the weight, even if that means listening to Jillian bitch me out (PUSH HARDER) on television while my family, friends and co-workers watch. I’M GAME!!!
PLEASE SAVE MY LIFE ! I am 355 lbs 24 year old single mother of a beautiful 9 month old little girl. I have had a severe battle with my weight my whole life. the last time I remember being under 200lbs was in 5th grade I was 186 lbs and said I’ll never get to 200lbs and here I am at 355lbs. In December 2010 My 3 month old daughter at the time was diagnosed with ALL Leukemia. They said 75% of her white blood cells were duds and that she was probably born with it.Her disease is so rare infantile leukemia only effects 20 in every 1 million infants.We dont look at cure rates. The sadness and emotions have taken over so much that im averaging 7lbs weight gain a week. I want to be a healthy mom for her. I see her fight for her precious life everyday when in all honesty i’ve given up on mine. This isn’t fair to her or me. I want to be that healthy parent just so I can teach my daughter a healthy style of living but most of all so I can just PLAY with her, enjoy lifes ins and outs, and both us be around a VERY LONG TIME. If it takes me going away for a few to Improve our family as well as friends. I’d be absolutely willing. I CAN BE THE NEXT BIGGEST LOSER !
I am a 18 year old girl with 300lbs and a 47 year old mom who is 260 lbs., together we have struggle with weight loss all our lives, my mother and I tried weight watchers, herbal life and just about every fad diets out there and have not been successful, After seeing my mother in emergency room with high blood pressure, I stopped and realize, that if we want to enjoy life longer together we have to do what it takes to lose weight and be healthy. We have always discussed on doing an audition for the show, mother and daughter we are determined and will not let you down. We want to be the next biggest loser if given the chance.
All my life i’ve been a winner, except with one thing, my weight. I am a 37 year old single father. I have a ten year old son, and 9 year daughter. I was athletic growing up, played baseball for 10 years. Started in the food industry at age 14, and have been making pizza’s ever since. I’m not totally blaming it on working in a resturaunt for 25 years, but I just make really good food. I think if you picked me to be on the show, it would be a great challenge. I have a great personality, and have had excellent interaction over the years with co-workers, bosses, employees. Gaining weight one pound a month, you don’t really notice, until twenty years roll by. I currently weigh 376 lbs. This is the biggest i’ve ever been. I really want to be the next biggest loser, if given the chance I will not disapoint.
p.s. Anna kournikova is really hot, and i would love for her to kick my a–!
I would really love to be considered to be on the biggest loser. I am 24 years old and have a 5 yr. old daughter and a husband, i have always been on the bigger side but i currently weight 290 lbs. I have congestive heart failure and a kidney disease. my heart dr. said that i should do the lap band but I have had a surgery every year since 2008 and i am so not willing to continue down the path of surgery after surgery. i have tried going to the gym but I cant stay motivated to go or even afford to go. I just want to be able to live a healthy life and from what my dr has already told me if i dont lose the weight there is nothing else that they can do for my heart and then i started thinking i need to do something and do it now. I really need this. Thank you so much just for giving me the opportunity to read my story.
My name is Kay Tolsie. I live in NYC. I am sending this in on behalf of my sister Avalyn Tolsie-Sharpe. She lives in Miami, Florida. My sister is the sweetest, most loving, caring and giving person I know. She is also my best friend. I love her so much and I just want her to be able to live a long, healthy and happy life. She has a heart of gold and would give you the shirt of her back. She was a chubby baby and I guess her weight has followed her throughout her adult life. My sister is now 37 yrs old. She has tried every and all diet pills imaginable. At one point she lost over 75lbs, but gained it all back. I believe that she is an emotional eater who binges when she is depressed. She always says to me, “Kay, you are the beautiful one and I am the fat one” and I always say to her, no Avalyn, you are the beautiful one. You just have to know it and feel it and you will achieve the confidence you need to get the outward beauty you seek to accompany your inner beauty. I would be so grateful to you guys if you were to choose her for the next season of biggest loser. Her greatest wish in life is to have a baby and I would love that wish to come through for her. Please, please, please choose my sister. She is over 300lbs at present. She doesn’t smoke or drink. All she needs is the guidance and motivation you guys instill in the people you work with in order to make her the sexy slim chick she has always envisioned herself to be.Thank you so much! xoxoxo
I am 25 years old and i weigh 285lbs ive ben heavy since i was a child ive tried every single diet out there from diet pills to the drinks to starving myself. I was a little smaller in high school i was about 240 then i had my daughter in 2006 and the weight just never left i work out but i gave up after a month because it was depressing going to the gym and everybody was already thin and i just felt like they were staring at me. I was teased i highschool so bad my selfestem is very low. I thought i had found the right man in my life but he left when my daughter was 2 months and now she is 5. When i take my daughter to and from school i hear the kids in her class saying shes fat and pointing to me. So now i know i need to change,and show a good example to my daughter. I know i will be the biggest looser just give me a chance you wont regret it,im so motivated to do this.thanks
I believe that I will be an excellent candidate for the Biggest Loser because I realize now more that ever that it is a health risk for me to stay “fat” and unhealthy. I am survivor of cancer and my weight concerns me each and everyday. I have a sense of humor that allows me not to take life so serious. I have a very high level of tolerance that enables me to handle the stress and challenges that comes with the weeks of training. I have 15 sister and brother and married a man who had 14 sister and brother. While growing up in a large family had it’s disadvantages; one advantage that I was allot was to deal with 15 different personalities which has help me a great deal with life in general. I enjoy meeting people from all walks of life and no one is a stranger to me when I meet them because I will start a conversation. After I’ve concluded the conversation I have either; gained a friend, obtained information that is extremely useful to me or simple had a interesting conversation either way I have benefited. I weigh 269 lbs 5 Ft 1 and I am 50 years. I have been on every diet out there and I would lose weight but gain it back quickly with extra pounds.
I am a single mother of 6 children ages range from 18-15 months. Over the years I have packed on the weight like nobody’s business! I”m tried of carrying around the alter-ego “pregnancy” with me! I developed diabetes as a result of the weight and pregnancies! Before children I was very active in sports, played basket ball, soccer, volleyball.. etc.. and to date to no avail, I have not been able to get back into a routine that allows me to lose the weight and keep it off!! I have tried every diet known to man & alien. I am 240lbs, distressed, tired and just plain fed up with being a BBW!! Let me be a bean pole!! LOL!! I want this and need this! I WILL BE THE BIGGEST LOSER!! 🙂
I should be picked because i am 22 years old very active and I love life. I have two children (2 and 3) and i want to set a good example growing up for them to be healthy and to take care of themselves. Its hard to do if youre over weight. I met my husband 5 years ago when i was enlisting in the military so i weighed 130lbs! I looked good haha. Im now into our 4th year of marriage and had our two beautiful children and i weigh 234.6. and no matter what i do to try to loose the weight it does not happen. I want to get back in shape and be there for my children more than any one could ever imagine! If i get this opportunity i will be there to keep everyones spirits up and to keep them laughng and i WILL BE THE BIGGEST LOSER!!!!!
