Where Are 'The Biggest Loser' Winners Now?

Ryan was the first-ever winner of the show, and he managed to lose 122 pounds. He later told TooFab that it was hard to leave his family for three months during filming.

In 2007, Ryan told Time that as soon as The Biggest Loser was over, he gained "32 pounds in five days simply by drinking water." In 2017, he revealed to TooFab that he was two pounds heavier than he was at his heaviest weight on The Biggest Loser in 2004. Since then, he's gotten back into his fitness journey and is "doing my best to live a healthy life," according to the bio on his Instagram—where he also shares adorable family updates.

Matt went from weighing 339 pounds to 182 pounds, which led to him winning the second season in 2005.

Matt ended up falling in love with The Biggest Loser runner-up Suzy Preston Hoover and the two got married. They now have two children together. In 2007, he told Time that he gained more than 15 pounds within a day of winning the show. As of 2009, he was training 25 hours a week to compete in the Ford Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, telling People, "Every day I wake up, I'm not just thinking like someone who has lost weight or is trying to lose weight. I am thinking, 'I want to be an Ironman.'" According to his Instagram in 2022, he enjoys skiing.

Erik had what may have been one of the most dramatic weight losses on the show. He went from 407 pounds to 193 pounds to win in season 3.

In 2010, Erik starred in the documentary Confessions of a Reality Show Loser, where he opened up about his post-show weight-loss journey. After losing some of the weight he had regained since the show, he told the New York Post, "I know by now how to lose the weight better than anybody."

Bill competed alongside his twin brother, Jim, on the show. He was crowned the season 4 winner in 2007. Bill started at 334 pounds and ended at 170 pounds.

After the show, Bill started teaching spin classes in his free time, according to E!. He now works as a motivational speaker and says The Biggest Loser experience changed his life. He even planned to tune in to the reboot in 2020. Bill continues to set weight-loss goals for himself and shares updates on Twitter about his progress.

Ali made history by becoming the first woman to win The Biggest Loser in 2008 during season 5, after she lost 112 pounds. "Nearly half of me had vanished," she wrote in an essay for The Weigh We Were.

After the show, Ali wrote a book called Believe It, Be It and started her own show called Live Big With Ali Vincent. Years later, Ali revealed she regained the weight she lost. "I swore I would never be there again, be here again," she posted on Facebook in 2016. "I couldn't imagine a day again that I would weigh over 200 lbs. I feel ashamed. I feel embarrassed. I feel overwhelmed. I feel like failure." Later that year, Ali sat down with Oprah to open up about her post-show weight gain and the personal trauma she believes triggered it. Four years later, she spoke to Yahoo about life with her wife and children, saying, "I am so extremely blessed to have found love and created love through our children."

Michelle weighed 242 pounds at the beginning of the show and ended up at 132 pounds. That was enough to help her clinch the season 6 The Biggest Loser title.

In 2019, Michelle shared a collage on Instagram looking back at her weight-loss success. "Dec 16, 2008 was the finale for one chapter and the start of another!!! #11YearsLater life is good!"

Helen nabbed The Biggest Loser title in season 7 after she went from 257 pounds to 117. "I feel like I can do anything," Helen told People after her win.

After winning, Helen told the Los Angeles Times that she stayed focused on maintaining her weight loss after returning home. According to the Times, she would wake up at 4:30 in the morning, hit the gym for two hours and visit two more times before the day was done. In 2017, she appeared in a promotional video for the portable elliptical Street Strider.

Danny lost 239 pounds during seven months on the show, making him the winner of season 8. "I've got my life back," he said on the show. "I mean, I feel like a million bucks."

In 2016, Danny told ABC News, "I did feel like a million bucks for a couple years I kept the weight off completely...I was working out two hours a day and riding my bike all over town to go where I was going. Once that stopped, the weight started creeping back on." Danny is active on Instagram, but doesn't regularly post updates about his weight.

When Michael started on the show, he weighed 526 pounds. He ended up finishing at 262 pounds to win season 9.
