Inspired by the reality show "The Biggest Loser"

Michelle Aguilar, Hellen Phillips, Danny Cahill, and Michael Ventrella, they were just individuals that changed lives after joining the reality show, the biggest loser.

Michelle, together with her mother Renee joined the Biggest loser Families as Pink team under Jillian's Team. As a first timer entering the contest, her starting weight was 242 lbs. competing and undergoing lots of training in 12 weeks, Michelle emerged as the Biggest Loser for the 6th season with current weight of 132 lbs for a total weight loss of 110 lbs.. with Ed Brantley and Vicky Villain as the runners-up.

after Michelle's victory winning season 6, another season was aired entitled the biggest Loser Couples 2, wherein Hellen together with her team mate Shannon were two of the contestants joined the show, unfortunately, Shannon was eliminated in the earlier episodes of the shows. Hellen's starting weight was 257 lbs and ended up at the finale and emerged as the winner of the season's biggest loser with the current weight of 117 for a total weight loss of 140 lbs. Her runners-up were Mike Morelli and Tara Costa.

Another product of the Biggest loser was Danny Cahill, but at this time, it's his second time joining the biggest loser. The season right after Phillips won, was The Biggest Loser Second Chances. Danny's starting weight was 430 lbs and ended up at the finale as the Biggest Loser with the current weight of 191 lbs for a total weight loss of 239 lbs. His runners-up were Rudy Pauls and Amanda Arlauskas.


(Michael Ventrella before and after the biggest loser)

Michael Ventrella made a history as he joined the biggest loser season 9, for having the heaviest weight for both male and female contenders. He joined biggest loser as the meber of the white team together with his wife Maria Ventrella who has been eliminated at the earlier weeks of the competition.. Michael's starting weight was 526 lbs, and emerged as the biggest loser with the current weight of 262 lbs for a total weight loss of 264 lbs. His runners-up were Ashley Johnston and Daris George.

I was inspired by this people that changed lives after joining the biggest loser, because they had a tough journey and lots of challenges helped them losing weight. It's just kinda frustrating that I can't join the biggest loser that has been franchised here in the Philippines by ABS-CBN because even though I am obese weighing 200 lbs right now, I cannot qualify because the weight requires more than 250 lbs for male. Another factor that i can't join the biggest loser, because December 2010 Nursing Licensure Examinations is fast approaching and I don't wanna miss that examination.

That is why right now, I know there is still hope for me to lose weight not just for a good body image but also for health purposes. All I can do at this moment is to utilize my stationary bike and have a regular diet to help me lose weight.



This is me and my nephew John Val during my Birthday celebration. I am weighing 200 lbs and wish to lose weight at least almost half of my current weight.. And I hope that I can also post here my biggest tranformation. God Bless you all!
