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.
OK!! I think it’s great you all want to be on the biggest loser but please don’t bank on this happening!! Chances are very very slim. I tried to get my niece who ended up having 2 call backs and she with her very much sob story never got on. They pick who they pick. It’s the luck of the draw. Now give up the dream of losing your on a ranch full of cooks and trainers. It’s just not realistic to sit around and wait. Get up and start exercising. Control your portions, Control your cravings. Just start now. Believe in yourself and start today. I have lost 72 pounds with 46 to go and if I can do it so can you. Here are many of my inspirations. Real life people who took the off without the biggest loser now living a healthy happy life. They did not wait for that ranch. It took years to pull this list together but I hope it will help you like it has been a blessing to me.

You have to have examples who have done it on their own and all of these wonderful ladies have.
Hello Jessica and Owner of this website. Thank you for posting my website link. Yes, I have lost 100 pounds and I am now a certified health coach. I have respect for the concept of what the Biggest Loser is doing but it is mainly entertainment and want to caution others who watch the show to consult their physician before starting any loss program. I didn’t and followed what I saw on TV and ended up with severe foot/back pain due to exercising too much, not stretching afterward and not the proper footwear while all along carrying an extra 100 pounds. Ouch. Be smart and safe. The good news is I found something that did work due to watching BL and my painful journey, have kept my off for 4 years and now I train other people to do what I did after struggling with my for 30 years. I learned a lot from my mistakes and moving forward. Find what’s right for you and do your best with safety in mind to change your lifestyle. You never know who’s life you’ll change in the process by setting a healthy example. Best wishes to all on your healthy goals and thanks again. ~Susan Milligan

I’m just Ginger to be honest. I’m almost 21 5’7′ and 265 lbs. Yes I’m over. I’ve tried losing it and so has my bf. He’s 5’9 and over 300. I on the other hand have tried on my own and end up giving u because I feel its not doing anything for me so I get depressed and I feel its useless for me. I just wish something amazing like the biggest loser Wld come along and change my opinion. Because as of right now. I probably wont change anytime soon and stay obese. I want to lose the not only for this amazing man that I’ve found that treat me better then anyone else can but for myself so I’m healthy enough to have kids and be healthy enough to live a long prosperous life with him; family and friends.
my parents are both over i know in my heart they are not happy with this, they say its the way we are, my mom has tried to lose weigh several times with a little success but gains it all back and gives up, my dad is just a picky eater and refuses to eat healthy food. im really worried about the both of them i want them on the show but they wont have anyway of paying for bills or anything its just them and soon to be just my brother. what do i do?
i love the show, but you know what i am pretty apauled that in the rquiremnets it says no canadians allowed or others..like how absolutly rude and disrespectful is that..i am canadian btw and there should be a biggest looser canada …how come there isn’t?????so frustrating to read what i read
You can be on the show if you are canadian, but you have to be a US resident, so if you live in Canada.NO If you are Canadian and live in the US an are a resident YES. 🙂
OOPS! I should have read it all.. the reason or well one reason is that there are a lot of restrictions in other countries… so unfortuntaley what tv shows etc aire in the US dont always show in ie; Canada..but it works the same if theres a show that only aires in Canada it wont show here 🙁 Its just restrictions.. I know it doesnt make any sense at ALL!
Amber, It is sad that they don’t offer it to Canadians as we are getting up ithere with the Americans for being over . I can suggest to you or any other canadians Maximized Living however. I am over and I started the Maximized Living prog through my Chiropractor. It is great! They had alot of great ideas to help me get going. I didn’t want to go to the gym because I was too embarrassed and I felt like everyone was staring and laughing at me. I do a power surge workout twice a day which takes one minute each time. Plus walking twenty minutes. I don’t think you or anyone NEEDS biggest loser. Sure they might have great ideas on how to loose the etc. but in Canada they have Fitness Boot camp which might not get you on tv but at least it is the same idea! I know in MB they have boot camp for loosing ! Anyways take it easy hopes this helps you/canadians anyways.
Hello My Name is Amy, I just turned 26 on Jan 5, I am a mother to 3 kids. a 6 year old a 4 year old and a 2 year old. I have tried everything to loose wieght i work out from home becuase i cant afford to go to the gym. And i have cutt my meals in half. And Stop Drinking sodas. I still can not loose wieght, I want to loose wieght for my self for one becuase i want to feel better for my self. and for my kids 2nd becuase i want to be able to play with them for a long period of times, instead of short periods becuase when i am playing my back begins to hurt or i only last for an hour or so . i want to be able to play for hours. I use to be really active and Depression sunk in and i lost control. my fiance is very supportive. and loves me for me. But i had an ex that only told me i was fat and worthless. I would really love to loose wieght to show everyone i can do it including my self
Amy if your back is hurting when you are playing with your kids i would suggest going to see a Chiro your spine could be out of line which could be causing you to not be able to loose the as well the nerves being pinched etc. causes pain. I didn’t believe it when I first heard about how a Chiropractor is a miracle doctor etc however like I said above it has helped me out sooooooooooooo much. I lost 25ibs since i started a month and a halfish ago. My spine is out of shape and I know Chiro can be expensive but believe me IT IS SO WORTH IT! I am starting to feel better about myself and have alot of confidence in everything I do! Try the GM diet for seven days also to help you get started it is a cheap way to loose the . Don’t eat after 6pm etc. Drink alot of water it will help flush out your system. Drink two med to lg glasses of water a half hour before you eat every meal.
Start slow with walking around the block three times a day. What I normally do is twenty seconds run in a spot, twenty second break, twenty second run in a spot then stop. I do that three to five times a day. After you are done you feel like you have been working out for an hour and a half! Also as silly as this sounds…. talk to yourself in the mirror. Tell yourself your pretty, tell yourself your skinny, tell yourself you WILL do what you want to do! This will help with your confidence.
I hope this helps you out as it has for me!
I had an ex that was rude like that too, cut me down kept telling me he was as good as it was going to get because he “gave fat ppl a chance and plus they wouldn’t cheat because well they are fat” told me i was ugly, useless, and by the time i am 35 would be a big ball of fat laying in a bed because i couldn’t hold my up! Like you I know have a boyfriend that supports me no matter what and whispers positive things to me daily! I have so much support from him and to be honest I am loosing this so I can have a baby, start a family with him. Which I can’t without loosing the weihgt because i have PCOS.
Well good luck I hope you reach your target! Keep positive and remember don’t say you WILL do it, say YOU CAN/ARE DOING IT!!!
Good Luck, if you do get on the Biggest Loser leave a comment and let us know.
What happened to that? Everyone on here is just commenting with their story or stories about people they know. Can you people not read? This isn’t a comment section for people to just spout off stories. You’re supposed to leave a comment if you applied for the show and made it. Congratulations on multiple useless postings everyone!
Not to mention almost everyone who has posted a story on here can’t spell worth a lick. How can people not re-read what they wrote before they go ahead and post it? Unless they do re-read it and think it sounds fine. Go back to school and learn how to spell and use punctuation everyone!!!! You’re sure not going to get picked for Biggest Loser with a story that not even the casting crew can understand!!!!!
Hi everyone out there i am 18 years old i am 325 lb about 6 ft . I have been over all my life being picked on in pre k and up.Also because of my last name i was the target all through out school. I wish i could get on the biggest losser because I no i could go to that mark where i want to be I tired of being big, I wanna change but I don’t how to do that.
hey joshua gleason dont try to suicide yourself just hope that your gona make it pray to god im sure that hes gonna help u get out of this nightmare just drink alot o fwater and eat healthy.
I think that the most helpful thing is changing your mindset, from “I can’t do it,” to “I’m capable of doing it.” What helped me lose a little is that I viewed every pound as a victory to be proud of.. I lost 20 pounds that way. Unfortunately I gained back 7 pounds, but now I lost a half pound again and will keep working at it now. Little victories count. I read that just losing 10% of your body can make a big difference in your health.
Hello. I’m willy I would really like to be on your show. I weigh over 400 pounds and I’m only 17 my friends are worried about me. I have diabetes and the doct. Said if I don’t loose a 100 pounds in 2 years i won’t be around in 10 years. It would be an honor to be on your show. My number is 2483904815. And again it would be a big honor.
