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 they want to lose without getting on the biggest loser.

I for one don’t believe 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 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 really 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 your 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 you 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 the 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 then people will not want to tune into the show, so you will not be chosen.

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

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

Will you get on the Biggest Loser?

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.

  1. Hi! I have been over and obese since birth. I am the person who says” I haven’t been a size 16 since I was born.” I have tried many diets (diet work shop, watchers, physicians loss…). My grandmother even sent me to a doctor for diet pills at the age of 13. Nothing has worked. My parents and one of my brothers have past away after brief illnesses, my sons are 24 & 25 years old and can take care of their father and themselves. Now I would like to concentrate on myself. Since I never succeeded in losing the by myself I really would like to be casted for the BIGGEST LOSER. Please tell me how to audition for this.

  2. Hi, my name is Bayleigh Witt and i’m 14 years old. I have been over as long as i can remember.i am 5’4 and i weigh 236lbs. I try so HARD to lose but i just cant for some reason. i have been diagnosed by a professional doctor, that my body produces to much insulin, and that makes it harder to lose .i have also been diagnosed to be borderline diabetic.when my mother was pregnant with me she did not take her insulin shots as directed because the doctors made a false staement, saying that if she forgot to take it one day that she might lose her baby (me). so my mother, for the past 14 years, has felt guilty for me becoming over.My mother is also over and i would like it if she could be on biggest loser with me. My mother has stuggled with problems just as i have, ever since she was a young child.i have delt with many people picking on me, expecialy in elementary school.. i was called a fat pig,discusting,and many more crushal words. the thing that kills me the most is going shopping for new clothes. when something doesn’t fit i find myself crying to my mother in the dressing room for a long time.i just wish that some day me and my mother could be at a healthy .everytime i watch THE BIGGEST LOSER, i think to myself that if i could just get on that show, i would be able to finally lose . i thin its so aamazing that u guys have helped so many people,but not only helped,SAVED. and i to would love to be one of those lucky people.PLEASE CHOOSE ME!

  4. I would love to be on The Biggest Loser. I am 33 and weigh 230. About 5 years ago I was 218, I started a loss group. We weighed in weekly and took measurements monthly. I lost 30 LBS. my hubby left for a hunting trip and was gone for a month. I got depressed and it was all down hill from there. I have had a problem all my life. As a teenager, I was not obesse but over . I am what they call morbidly obesse now. I hate it. I choose food as a companion..it is a stress reliever, depression fixer and so on.
    I want to lose the weigh now! THanks for your advice above.

    Im not sure who said it above, but I agree about teenagers, ppl under 18. They should be allowed on the show. But with the supervision of a doctor and parental support. Obesity is a problem with teenagers today. I think the show has helped lots of over adults, it could help lots of overwieght teenagers as well.

  5. I’m not sure who posted the article for how to get on the show…. I’d love to be on, I’m filling out my application now for season 10. I’ve got my fingers and toes crossed. Time to make a change. If you are sooo fat you can’t move then start slow and try to walk… just walk. Move your body more than its used to.

  7. hi, my name is lacy and i’m 14 yrs old and i way about 300 lbs. give or take. i have always had trouble with my . but what made it worse was my mom and dad putting me between them and there fights. so i have a bad habbit of eating when i get upset. and i feel terrible cause it is hard to fit in to the desk at school.

  8. I am 51,5’6,317. I will soon be grandma. My daughter n law was a butterfly swimming competitor. My son, an all around athlete and both successful engineers. I would like to be able to be able to be active in their lives. I have had a very drama filled life that everyone says I should write a series of books. So many highs and lows that I don’t know if I am actually bipolar or just on a wild rollercoaster ride. I was married to a star athlete in 1985 weighing 145 and modeling for the company I worked for. Penthouse execs even tried to get me in a movie they were doing about the owner being in fed med prison in the Bible belt. I refused and was married a few years later. I gained 10 to 20 pounds a year for the 11 we were married. I was then single for 7 years and had a parallel surgery to Carney Phillips in 1999 of the same week, same stats minus the support follow and through help. It was the roux-n-y gastric bypass but was not successful. I lost 25lbs and that was in the 1st month of no eating. I am now married to a man who was a champion bodybuilder. I was 285 when we married in ’03. he was anxcious to help me take it off but was not accustom to real life demands getting in the way. I dont think he actually wanted me to gain more attention from men. He has double standards. He looks like a leading man but still has major jealousy of everyone that I am nice to.. I think he has fears of abandonment and rightly so since I recently became his soon to be 4th ex. (unbearably jealous to the point of messing up his sales income leaving me to cover the defficet). Anyway, I think a show on failed loss surgeries would really be a huge human interest angle. please bring help to someone who is getting sick of facing so much of lifes challenges alone.

  9. My name is Billy I’m a 6″1 450 pound + guy who is 20 years old and has tried to lose 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 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.

  10. 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 , 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….. =/

  13. 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.
