I just absolutely love this show because it gives so many wonderful tips, ideas, and inspirational pieces for successful weightloss.

But, for those of you who say "I need to lose XXX pounds for my wedding" the website provides great receipes and meal plans, customized fitness programs, a progress journal and creative ways to assist you. Check it out! There is even "The Biggest Loser" club which could be a fun little thing to join if you are interested.

The first reality series where everybody "loses," "The Biggest Loser" offers severely overweight participants the opportunity to undergo a radical physical makeover without any kind of surgery.

Alison Sweeney ("Days of Our Lives") joins the show to host the fourth season of the series, which challenges and encourages overweight contestants to shed pounds in a safe and recommended manner through comprehensive diet and exercise as they compete for a grand prize of $250,000. The unscripted and life-altering one-hour reality series gathers contestants from across the country to face real-life temptations, while being provided with approved weight-loss skills and resources in an effort to help them transform their bodies, health -- and ultimately -- their lives.

"The Biggest Loser" provides the 18 strong-willed, yet hopeful, contestants with challenges, temptations, weigh-ins and eliminations until the final contestant remains to claim the title of "the biggest loser." Each team works out under the supervision of professional trainers Kim Lyons and Bob Harper.

The series has become a worldwide hit airing in over 35 territories and 15 countries. It has also produced a New York Times best-selling book and a burgeoning online lifestyle club www.biggestloserclub.com
