The American reality show The Biggest Loser has been an audience favourite over its 18 seasons. The show features overweight contestants as they try to lose weight, and the one with the highest percentage of weight loss relative to their original weight wins a cash prize. The show’s premise is so relatable, which is one of the biggest reasons behind its popularity – after all, who hasn’t struggled to lose some extra pounds.

But the show is also talked about for several negative reasons. The first one is the kind of weight loss we see on the show is unsustainable; many of these contestants lose an astonishing amount of weight only to gain it back once the show’s over. Another commonly discussed problem is the methods contestants adopt to lose weight quickly – methods that are neither sustainable nor healthy for your body. To top it off, contestants and viewers alike often criticize the show for fat-shaming. In today’s day and age of body positivity, this is a serious accusation.
Whether you hate or love The Biggest Loser, you can’t deny that contestants achieve incredible milestones in terms of weight loss every season. Let’s go over how much weight the winners of The Biggest Loser have lost each season and how much they were able to keep off once the cameras stopped rolling.
