The moment we have all been waiting for is finally here! A lot of changes this season, the first being a trainer. No Jillian this season but we said hello to Kim Lyons a fitness trainer who has been physically active her whole life. Her style is to make fitness fun and achievable to everyone. This season they took someone from every state and brought them out to the ranch only to find out that only 14 of them were staying at the ranch and Bob and Kim were picking their own teams. The other 36 contestants were going home to represent their state by working out with what they learned and the top girl and guy are coming back to the ranch with the chance to be the biggest loser.
The teams staying were as follows:
Blue- Amy, MAÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Red- Heather, UT
        Bobby, TN                                       Jennifer, MI
        Brian, CA                                         Kai, AK
       Erik, NY                                           Ken, WA
        Marty, MO                                        Nelson, MA
       Melinda, Al                                       Pam, IN
       Tiffany, TX                                      Wylie, FL
Bob and Kim started the two teams off by having them sleep in the gym as if to say you will be living in the house but the gym will be your home. Then as soon as they woke up it was workout time. They worked them out hard, several members of Bob’s team were puking. The first challenge was very close but the red team won, their prize was to switch a member of their team with a member of the blue team for the final weigh in. THe blue team was upset they lost the challenge and were cooking dinner when Bob stopped them and said they need to go work out first. His point was most overweight people are emotional eaters so because they were upset he wanted them to comfort themselves in a positive way by working out instead of eating.
THe final weigh in the red team chose Amy to switch with Jennifer. Amy lost 16lbs for the weigh in after it was all done the red team had lost a total of 98 lbs and 4.75% weight loss. Jennifer lost 8 lbs and it was looking like the red team was going to win with only two people left to weigh in they needed to lose 37lbs between the two of them which they did losing a team total of 108lbs and 5.05%.
Back at the ranch it was pretty clear who the red team were chosing for elimination. Jennifer had just not cut it during the first week at the ranch. She would take breaks and wouldn’t push herself like the others were doing and in the end she was the first to be eliminated.
