Biggest Losers who Gained It All Back

There was this study, and a bunch of news stories, about how people who lose weight on The Biggest Loser tend to gain some back, sometimes more than they lost. I thought we could have a thread for these people. 

Also curious about Jen from Season 2. I saw a photo where she'd regained a ton of weight after the show. Has anyone seen that? She's in the last 2 pics.

No idea about Jen, she doesn't appear to have much of an active online presence. Was definitely one of my favorites from Season 2. It's interesting that she's pretty much dedicated to back of the house lab research when she could have seriously rocked the plus-sized modeling industry.

Also be sure to check out Big Fat Truth episode 1, it's all former Biggest Loser contestants who regained weight. They of course lost it again after this show, but still, it gives you a sense of how much regain there really was for a lot of people.

Jessica Delfs from one of the later seasons also regained back to almost her original weight (pre-show), but has since been losing at a much more controlled rate.

There are several more pictures floating around, though honestly, it's time consuming to get details.

1. Most former contestants are very wary of posting update photos that aren't flattering.

2. Many are simply not on social media sites at all or have dropped of the internet.

3. What you get won't always confirm anything, it's rare for someone to reveal weight regain.

4. Soo many headshots. Looks for candid event photos.

TBL is still happening in other countries. For instance: https://www.tv4.se/biggest-loser-sverige

I know a girl personally that appeared on this show and she definitely gained it all back and maybe some more. I knew her for years before she was on the show. She was pretty disciplined after and kept it off for a bit but the amount of work was just brutal to be essentially a normal size girl. It’s no wonder most of them return to their previous size.

Shit, man, Delfs is super hot at the peak of her second gain. Too bad she's losing again.

And yeah, I know this is difficult, which is why I made this thread. Hoping the collective wisdom of the internet will save us.

@thadrou90 Sorry to dash your hopes, but it doesn't appear that Jen is still 360 pounds. That was way back in 2011 anyways (good luck finding those photos, I doubt they ever touched the internet). Here's a relatively recent makeup tutorial video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VapNwasNppw

What a find! Yeah, she may well have lost, though that video is pretty tightly focused on her face. Thanks for that, though!

Either way, I did actually see a photo of her at or near her hugest at some point, so I know it did exist. The question is whether someone still has it.

I think I remember the photo you're thinking of, but it's been so long since I've seen it. Heh, I probably have it locked away in an archive somewhere, but it would take days or weeks to find it even if I remembered to save it at the time.

Still, you can also extrapolate from the information in that video to find other accounts. There's not much in the way of body photos, but enough there to suggest that's she's about normal weight and build nowadays.

Thank you!!

I still wish we could find that pic of her during her post-TBL (and probably lifetime) peak. She looked fucking enormous...

Which pic is that?

Something someone posted on a chan once. Just showed her looking absolutely huge, much bigger than when she started TBL.

Omg that pic must be found at all costs
