Where are They Now?

After the competition we often find ourselves suffering from depression, sadness and a sense of being alone. Dr's have said it is very similar to post partum depression after woman deliver babies. It is a natural feeling after you have spent 3 months getting to know those in the competition, and then to drop off and not have any contact with them






Lets take this time to look back a little on the competition as well as see where a few of the competitor are now and what they have been doing after the competition.
One little unknown fact about the behind the scenes of the competition. Ciara sent a large pizza to Gentry two days prior to the final weigh in. He was unable to resist and ate the entire pizza without dabbing the grease off with a paper towel. Some feel that is what tipped the scales to allow Ciara to take 1st place!
As of this posting the BLBV2 website has had 983 visitors. 918 of those were within the USA, 32 from mother Russia, 8 from Germany, 7 from the United Kingdom and some from Bulgaria, Estonia, Croatia and Malaysia. That is pretty wild. Lets hope the final viewing of the competition bumps us up to 1,000 page views.

This was the only weight loss competition to actually have a competitor attempt to loose weight by riding a bike and throwing themselves at the pavement in order to shed a few pounds of skin and muscle tissue. This person did take 2nd place so it may have been well worth it.


We had 7 competitors break a century mark during the competition. Changing the first digit of your weight is a huge step in ones weight loss journey and we had 7 people take that step.


The group lost 308 pounds together that is an average of about 11.5 pounds for each competitor.

Lets look at some of the competitors and what they are doing now

Karen is getting ready for the Spud-man Triathlon along with Joe, Kim, Kelly, Nikki, Travis, Cami, Chaz, Chance, and Hailee. Pictured Karen just finished a 5 mile run in Vegas in preparation for the 10 K portion of the race!















Joe on the other hand prepares for the Spud-man by eating Fried Chicken and biscuits from Church's Chicken in North Las Vegas. I got to tell you this was the sketchiest place I think I've ever been in my life.











Frank continues delighting children as the black spider man. To hire him for your party call 801-955-9621


















Joani pictured receiving her Week 9 biggest loser award. As you can see she continues her weight loss journey at the gym every day. She has committed to participating in an Iron Man Triathlon with hopes of one day competing in Kona!

















Scott was noticed while working out at the gym by a talent scout. This helped him begin men's swimwear modeling.

















Misty and Jennifer have started competing in synchronized swimming. They currently are rated 22 in the nation for woman's couples in the category dramatic twist. Nicely done!


Jennifer was unable to make the final weigh in because she was out of town, but she ran 10 miles that morning!

The Final results!




The competition has finally drawn to a close. The competition was hot and heavy as competitors battled for the title of BIGGEST LOSER! When the dust finally settled CIARA did work and was crowned the winner and all the prize money with it $340 US, but that was not without a fight. Kim finished just .66% behind to be named the 1st runner up and received $100US. Gentry had an amazing weight loss journey receiving the tiara and the title of 2nd runner up, and 25$ US and $25 gift card to bout time. Kelly put the vacation behind her and showed that despite what is going on in your life weight loss (magic) can happen, she finished as the third runner up, along with $18 cash money! Congratulations to all the winners!

Congratulations to all who participated in the competition, you are part of only 20% of all Americans still sticking to their new years resolution and for that you are all winners. It doesn't take a slip of paper, or cash money to say your a winner. It is said every time you jump on the scale without cringing, it said each time you can say no to dessert, it is said each time you increase your mileage on your Saturday run, or add another 20 Lbs to your bench max. It is said each time you look into the mirror and say daaamn Girl! It is said each time you shake off the dust of night and head to the gym at 6:00 AM, or when you choose the gym over prime time television programing. It is whispered in you ear when you say salad with dressing on the side when those fries sound so good. YOU ARE A WINNER!
