5. Erik Chopin
We are continuing our list of answers to the question – Biggest Loser contestants: where are they now, with Chopin that has to be one of the most prolific Biggest Loser contestants. His journey has been one the most interesting among the show’s contestants. Entering the show at 407 pounds, he lost 214 pounds as a contestant on the show, breaking all previous records. Appearing in the third season, he held the record until season 8 when Danny Cahill (more on him later in the list) lost 239 pounds. Like many other contestants, his weight loss did not last for long and soon after leaving the show he weighed 368 pounds. He, along with his family, then appeared in a Discovery Health Channel documentary to discuss his weight gain. Interestingly, the documentary inspired him to start dieting again and he now stands at around 245 pounds today. Chopin has appeared on many TV shows including The Oprah Winfrey Show and Larry King Live and also cameos as a life coach and a motivational speaker.
