NBC's The Biggest Loser has pushed the limits of training obese contestants over the 8 previous seasons. Bigger and bigger contestants are drafted to compete in a weight loss contest that would challenge most overweight and even many normal weight people.
Now magnify this by what Biggest Loser trainer Bob Harper called a "daunting" effort for the largest Biggest Loser contestants ever. A daily regimen of extreme workouts and strict dieting is hard under any circumstances. Magnify that by carrying the burden of super morbid obesity.

Anyone with a BMI of 40-50 is morbidly obese. If you have a BMI above 50 you're considered super morbidly obese. Biggest Loser contestant Michael, at 6 foot 3 and 526 pounds, has a shocking BMI of 65.7. Twins James and John, at 6 foot 5 each and weights of 484 and 485, have an equally unhealthy BMI of 57.5.
Becoming the Biggest Loser while you're obese or morbidly obese takes super human effort. While that doesn't make this goal impossible, now we are watching the biggest contestants ever push themselves to unbelievable efforts. Click here to read more and watch video.
