One question that I get emailed about more than almost anything else lately is “How can I get on the Biggest Loser?”

I know that many people are interested in the show, after 7 or 8 seasons now people have seen so many success stories on the Biggest Loser that they can’t help but think that there is no way that they can lose the weight they want to lose without getting on the biggest loser.

I for one don’t beleive that at all, no matter if you want to lose 20 in one month or lose 100 pounds in a year there are always ways to lose the weight without going on a TV show. Really! Believe it.

How to get on the Biggest Loser

Ok, now after that if you really want to know how to get on the Biggest Loser I have a plan that won’t guarantee anything but I think will improve your chances to get on the Biggest Loser.

Just to let you know, you need to be a resident of the US to get in. no Canadians or others allowed

Before you get started go to the Biggest Loser Casting page.  Click here for entry rules and procedure.

First of all you have to fill out an application form at the NBC site and send in a video. As you can imagine there are quite a few people trying to get on the Biggest Loser and the only way that the people in the casting department can narrow down this huge list is by kicking people off the list or finding exceptional people. The only way that you can be chosen for the Biggest Loser is to have an impressive application and video, there is no other way to make an impression.

Biggest Loser Application Tips

The application is long, 9 pages in fact so print out a couple of copies. Make one rough copy with lots of notes and give yourself at least a couple of days to rteally lay out what is important and what will be qualities that set you apart from everyone else trying to get on the Biggest Loser.

After you have filled out all the notes then get another copy of the application and print all the answers very clearly in the space provided. Keep yoour answers very clear and direct, do not use any unnecessary words, this is one of only two ways to impress those judges.

Biggest Loser Video Tips

The video that oyu make is going to be the real way of setting yourself apart from all of the other people trying to get on the Biggest Loser TV Show. Try to have the best production quality that you can.

As far as the length of video make sure that it is not any longer than 10 minutes. As you can imagine there are a lot of videos to get through and the people casting the Biggest Loser are going to only want to spend a few minutes and if they have not been caught by you by then they will move on to the next tape.

Make sure that your video is fairly closeup, you do not want to be too far away from the camera and no one should have to strain to hear what you have to say.

Try to be very upbeat, not like you are crazy but on the other hand remember that they casters for hte Biggest Loser are going to be looking for people that are fun and interesting to watch. If you are just heavy but will not draw in viewers than people will not want to tune into the show, so you will not be chosen.

Make sure you do wardrobe changes. Show the csting people on the Biggest Loser what you look like in a bathing suit, workout clothes, regular clothes and this way thaty will also get a feeling for whate you are like.

Finally, let the viewers of your video know what you are like and why you should be on the show. Make sure that the video is vbery clear as to why you need to be on the show, your past successes and failures, your weight loss history and how you want ot make the change for you and the people around you.

As you probably know that chances of getting on the Biggest Loser are slim but unlike a lottery they are going to pick 16 people every season so there is a chance if you present yourself well to actually get on the show.

Good Luck, if you do get on the Biggest Loser leave a comment and let us know.

      me and my wife cherill would like to be on the show biggest loser we tryed to loose weight befor but never could l’m 361 pounds and i wood like to be 175lbs one day going on the show wood help both of us a lot becouse we wood like to start a family some day but i’m not in the best shap me and my wife need your help.

    2. Just be very cautious about the amount of pounds you lose per week as anything above 1and a half pounds is considered dangerous because you also loose a considerable amount of muscle with fat and water .I lost 90 pounds within a year when i was eighteen i can fill you in with any details if you need.

    3. Charlene Hapeman-Stage says:

      I have been with the love of my life for eight years. He is 75 and I am 55. He has had five stents placed in his heart, three since we have been together. He had a massive heart attack on May 31, 2008. He has been told he needs to have open heart surgery to correct an artery in his heart. He promoised me twenty years after we got together in 2000. I want the twenty years and I know if he does not lose the weiight he needs to we will not have that. I have tried for eight years to help him lose weight but it has not helped. I do not want to lose him. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. So do you help couples where one needs to lose weight and the other doesn’t? And if you do, is there a way where they can be together and the one who doesn’t have to lose weight can tone up? Thank you for anything you can do. Charlene Hapeman-Stage

      Do you have a betetr chance of being noticed if you use a bright colored envelope when you send it?

    5. I would love to be on the biggest loser because I am 26 and is 250 pound and sometimes I don’t think I will live to see 30 I done almost everything but always go back to the same thing I have two son I need to live for,I would I for my little sister to come because she 22 is over 350 poundsshe can’t even walk a block without getting tired she can’t havr baby bacause of her weight. So if anyone know how to get on the show pleasse email me thank you

    6. mattew says:

      i do not think that is far that you have to be living in the U.S. to go on the bigesloser what is up with that rule i live an canada and i am fat and i am 18 i need to loseweight and my mom she is 40 and she needs to loss weight to.So can u let my mom and i be the frist ones in canada to be on your show we will love it alot. can you e-mail me back me and my mom would appreciate it thank-you :)

    7. sheri says:

      I agree with mattew… you think people in Canada don’t need help. Well we do. I’m 27, 5′2 and weigh 215lbs. I’m tired of my weight going up & down like a yo-yo. If you won’t let us Canadians be apart of the biggest loser than how about starting a canadian version, like every other reality show.

    8. Kelsey says:

      I think you shouldnt have to be 18 to be on this show. I think there are more obese teens out there and they are the future of America and they should be helped too. Im 16 and im 5′6 and i weigh 249 lbs and i have tried many times before to lose weight. There are many other teens i know that this show would be the push they need to lose the weight and be healthy again. Its not only health issues with teens its self-esteem. Many over-weight teens have bad self esteem issues and leads to depressive eating and then even worse health problems. I believe that teens should have the same rights as adults to lead happy, healthy lives.

    9. megan says:

      I agree with you guys. I live in Canada, and I know a lot of people including myself who would like to be on the show. I have tried many diets and guess what they all fail. I need the support and “the push” by highly trained trainers and other contestants. Having a show in Canada could save a lot of lives. I am only 21 and would like to live for a long time. At the weight i am now I dont think i will see past 30. PLease Do a canadian version of the biggest loser! it will do wonders…

    10. mary says:

      all i want to know is what is the last day of the 09 biggest loser show?
      thanks

    18. Jean-Michel Ray-Mahle says:

      I’m 15 and i am 380 lbs. My Mother is 54 and 200 something lbs. I can barely fit in the desks at school. I’m 6′1″ so i’m a very big person for my age. I would think that being on Biggest Loser would help us a lot because we’ve tried gym memberships, diets, and everything else in between.

      Hello, my name is clarence. i am currently 4′9 and 325 pounds. I am very unhappy with my life. I am VERY FAT and love nothing more than to drown my sorrow in food. Recently my wife left me. not sure if its because im fat or i cant get my dick up. of corse i wouldnt know though because i cant see it most of the time anyway. its rather sad going day to day wondering when im going to see him again. Sometimes i think that hes not even there. and that im really just a woman. When it rains my feet always stay dry. My nickname in high school was titties. not sure if it was because im obese or because ive never seen a pair in my life. Sometimes i wonder, is god toying with me? was i just made for his own personal amusment? who knows. but what i do know is i feel like a waste of space. When i come by food its like its yelling out my name. “eat me clarence, eat me” it says with a sad-faded like tone. Of course i eat it. i cant stop i feel like im eating myself into an endless hole of no return. While i sit in the hole, traped i shout “save me, save me someone”. But nobody appears. Sometimes i think that ill be stranded in this hole forever, No where to run and no where to escape. Will i always be in this hole? is there no exit? I need help or in better terms i need a ladder to escape this hole. Its as if diet is satan and im a very religous man. I will not follow satan. Yet, if exercise is good for you should i not follow satan? maybe im just viewing this all wrong. Maybe i need to look at exercise as god and follow him. Sometimes i think nothing can help me and that ill always be a whale. I need help in and out of bed and using the toilet. My plumbing is always bad and needs constantly tuning up. Sometimes i think to myself that im going to just die on the toilet. But enough of my sad tale. Reality is that there are many people out there like me, yet, i feel as if im number 1 and need the most help. so help me. I beg of thee.

    30. i’m a mother of six & a wife .i have 5 boys & 1girl .i have a set of twins and after i had them i gand alot of fat .i have done diets in the past but nothing works. i now at 29 years old weight 188 pounds and i wont to lose 53 pounds. my doctor teels me i’m over weight and i need to losse some weight or when i get older i will have alot of heath prombles.i love my kids & husben and i wont to live for a very long time and be able to play with them

      Im not sure what age you have to be to get on the Biggest Loser, but I am here to say I need it. I am 15 years old and I weigh 340 pounds, it is very sad I know. I feel like I have beeen trying forever now, but it is so hard. I started getting heavy when I was about 6 years old then slowly and slowly 340 pounds is now what reads on the scale.

    32. Brandy says:

      Nothing is worse then losing the man of your dreams in a car accident and cause of your own size his friends making you feel like you were only a mistake and a hidden secret to him cause you are a shameful site. There is nothing more then wanting so badly.. to bath in boiling water in hopes it’ll burn off extra fat or skin, or to try and make yourself puke after everything you eat cause you know to look in the mirror is only going to lead to endless tears and sleepless night. OBSESITY is a HUGE problem.. BUT not just in america… ITS everywhere!!! CANADA NEEEEDS not jus wants.. BUT NEEEEDS AMERICA TO realize that we are people to. We have feelings we have issues, we all need help. No maybe its not that the biggest loser is our only hope, BUT when your story is broadcasted and your actually then taken serio9usly for the person you are inside being smothered by your weight, AND that its not cause your lazy or won’t exercise or diet, But that its you like everyone… does alot better then we have true support and are accepted for Jus who we are!!!! BIGGEST LOSER if its SOOOO Important of a theme that you BELIEVE everyone deserves a second chance at a healthy LIFESTYLE PROVE IT… COME to CANADA HELP the world INSTEAD OF jus one nation… CAUSE that WOULD be a real difference. ITS sooo sad to see that it feels like its a war or competition between the states and canada.. or WHEREVER else…. HOW is it THE show is not being JUDged on the fact THEY are JUDGING WHO IS GOOD ENOUGH TO BE ON IT… ITS heart breaking.. and sad and RIDUCULAS that HUnger is united for all over the world, and SAFE shelter for the abused is SEEN all over the world!!!!!! BUT yet.. the BIGGEST most SCARIEST PROBLEM/ISSUE in the world is only good enough to help in the STATES!!!… With tears in my eyes and on my keyboard PLEASE forward/pass/re-read/ Second think about the rules of the biggest loser and what it shows and says about being accepted and the morals that are set forth.
      I live my life every day wanting to die, Cause not knowing if the one man i adored… really cared back.. or kept me int he dark cause of this death trap I”D give my life to lose……. Everyone Deserves a 2nd Chance…..is Biggest losers moto……. WHY not prove that to the WORLD and not jus America AS IF you take a second to realize it… 50-60% of the television rating for THE SHOW… DO come from CANADA……. so without us.. being a apart of it, The shoe wouldn’t be as popular and as famous globially as it is……. But then again i’m jus some fat girl begging for help to a cement wall so it seems….. =/

    33. Billy says:

      My name is Billy I’m a 6″1 450 pound + guy who is 20 years old and has tried to lose weight for so long I can not remember. But has not been able to lose it by myself and is scared if I don’t lose it I could die before my 25 birthday. This weight has held me back for so long I have never been able to live a normal life because of it. But, like all people I know I deserve a second chance so I’m begging of u to give it to me please I really appreicate u listening to me. Well bye.
