Some outstanding moments from The Biggest Loser include:
- Just as the first team to weigh in looked as though the 8th season group would suffer the second week curse (almost no weight loss, or even weight gain), the team ended up losing a total of 155 pounds. They had actually been challenged to lose 150 to avoid sending anyone home.
- In Season 9, during the finale, Michael, who started the season at 526 pounds, needed to lose 257 pounds in order to become the Biggest Loser, beating the current leader Ashley. He lost 264 pounds, making him the newest Biggest Loser, with a current weight of 262 pounds, and shattering the previous record of 234 pounds lost set by Danny Cahill the previous season.
- In Season 5 of the Australian show, one contest near the end of the series has the contestants on a Jacob's Ladder. Think a treadmill, but instead it's a ladder at a 45-degree angle. The final two contestants climbed for over THREE HOURS, even breaking the WORLD RECORD for climbing a Jacob's Ladder. Keep in mind these people were morbidly obese and horrifically unfit just two months before.
