Biggest Loser 2010 Results

Biggest Loser Finale


They came, they joined, they kicked some fat. Nearly 470 pounds to be exact. Not only is that the weight of about three people, but in volume that’s over 63 gallons of fat!

After 12 weeks of the physically intense program and nearly 2 weeks on their own, the results are in.

The 1st place winners both earned an annual family membership at the YMCA, valued at over $800. “Bear” Sherry Loomans lost 41 pounds which was 20% of her initial body weight. “Elmo” Brian Wendt was 1st place male winner and he lost 56 pounds, almost 18% of his initial body weight.

“Gizmo” Tim Gerdmann lost over 63 pounds (17% of initial weight) to claim 2nd place for an annual adult membership, nearly $600. And “Squeaker” Melissa lost her goal weight of 30 pounds (16% of initial weight) to win the third place prize of 10 one-hour personal training sessions worth $350.

Of course, the best things about the program are not about the weight loss at all. Ask any of the participants what they liked best about the program and they likely say the relationships they built with the other participants. Spending over four hours a week with each other while working out they learn to depend on each other and rely on the encouragement and camaraderie.

The trainers want to congratulate all involved. This is not an easy program. It is physically and emotionally demanding and we are proud of every single person who joined up! This is a huge personal accomplishment to survive this program and we wish the best of luck to all they continue their healthy lifestyle journey.
