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.
I’m a 23 year old guy that has been over for all of my life I’m 5’9 250 pounds, I have zero self esteem,
I can’t stand going into social places cause I know I’m going to get laughed. A little over a year and half ago,
I had put my mind to lose the in almost 3 weeks i had lost 16 pounds, I was happy doing everything possible to push myself to the limits until one day my mother got hit with breast cancer that’s when everything
fell on top of me, I was at the hospital for over 8-10 hours a day and the same time I had to work 2 months into the
cancer my dad became close to paralyze waist down cause of his sciatic problem that is when I hit rock bottom. I had to see my mom suffer like no tomorrow cause they had to remove the breast the cancer was at stage 4/4,
I had to bring my dad to the hospital, I had to sleep at the hospital to make it all short I had been doing this for 8 months straight without anybody helping me out, I got my aunts and uncles living 15mins away from us
and no one even bothered lifting a finger . So now I would like to go back to that mood where I wanna lose the but I just can’t do it alone after all of that stress and anger hitting me at once I started getting a lot of chest pain, I even have a hard time putting a smile on when I use to smile 24/7, hopefully these words would
say something to someone
thank you.
Hi there. I have watched the Biggest Loser and it is amazing what they do. I am 19 years old, I’m 5’3 1/2 and a little over 200 pounds. I have self esteem issues because of it and I’ve been over since I was 10 years old. I have esteem issues because kids would tease me about my size when I was younger. I just want to have a normal life being a beautiful me. I’ve tried gyms and stuff like that, but I never have the time with school to make it a full commitment. Diets won’t do a thing for me unless I’m being active (I have hypothyroidism and take levothyroxine for it daily). I don’t feel beautiful around my friends or in front of my mirror. I know that I need to change this to improve my health, both physical and emotional. Please help me get a start on being a healthy, beautiful young woman.
i know how you feel im 20 5 3 and 320 lbs i also have hypothyroidism and take levothroxin daily and have yet been successful to loose the . i just think that people should know that your not the only one … in this battle so feel better knowing that there’s other wanting the same goals as you.
Well Iam 20 yrs of age very smart intellegent I love to sing and act…I just recently graduated from Dental School…I am really intresed in being in the real world.
im 13 yrs old and im over 200 pounds i wont to be on the biggest loser plzz help !!
you have to be at least 18 but good luck when you turn 18
Hello, my name is jessica. My mother patty and i would love to join the biggest loser.

We’ve always been over . We’ve tried so many diets even joined the ymca but with both of our work schedules its hard to get in. She’s a truck driver(delivers gas and i work at a fast food resturant. we both turn to food when depressed or bored and just want our lives normal.
jasica this ahasan from bangladesh i am already replay to u my previous comments i will wait for your serious replay by post latter……thanks ahasan.
Hello! I am a 22 year old happily gay (lesbian) but no so happy 5’9, 227 lb. female from central N.Y. I live pretty much a laid back life, and I am a free-spirited individual in many ways, but when it comes to my , it stands in the way of comfort in absolutely every single way. I have gained about 65 lbs. in the matter of a year and a half after i met my ex-girlfriend. I guess “opposites attract” is an understatement which had a little something to do with my gain. I have always had insecurities about my since i was at least 5, and back then i was perfect for my height, but my brother, sister and mother were all very thin, and I took after my dad. Back then i’d used to literally pray that id god loved me i would wake up in the morning skinny. Health wise, My father has diabetes, and he had actually stepped on a nail at work, it went right through his boot and through his foot, but he didnt even feel it or notice it until he went to take his boot off and it wouldnt come off. That scares me… because I am a lot like him in my genes. Last year, when i started gaining a few lbs of the massive on me now, I went skydiving for my 21st birthday, and there was a limit because you have someone on your back jumping with you, at the time I was fine and it was the most amazing thing i could have ever done! I really want to go again but now I am not fit enough too (i dont believe), and even if i were I wouldnt because its so embarrassing to be the center of the spotlight when Im so uncomfortable with myself. I used to be a photo freak, always taking pictures of and with absolutely everything because i appreciate everyone and every beautiful thing and being around me , I used to think i was self conscious seeing bad pictures of myself, but now I completely refuse to get pictures taken, and if i do, its right to photoshop i go. I grew up with not much money, and I never thought I’d ever get the opportunity to go on a big road trip, but I was given the chance to in March of this year, to go to Mardi Gras in New Orleans, to a beautiful resort in AZ, and then to Vegas! That is a dream for anyone… especially someone like me! but i had to go out and buy a pair of pants that i thought were decent to wear in Vegas (because i had outgrown everything I have and have no pants), and I got in a picture with a burlesque girl and it was instant printout, and as soon as i looked at it, i had absolutely no control over my tears as the proof of the disgusting sight of me was right there in my hands. There I was in Vegas where people go to have the time of their lives, crying my eyes out because of my size. When I got home and looked at all of the photos, me riding a mechanical bull (which by the way… i had a blast!) in New Orleans at Mardi Gras, i was so disgusted yet thankful that I had a mask on my face so that no one would see the real face that was on my body. I am in constant awareness of my body in everything that i do, every time i sit down i sit so i attempt to hide my fat the best way that i can, or stand in the right angle so that i dont look as fat as i really am. I Dont like that at all, its pretty annoying and depressing especially when just 2 years ago I was much much thinner and I would go naked slip and sliding and make naked snow angels just to say i did it and not care who was watching (in respescts of the public haha), and I would give absolutely anything for that again! This is doing nothing but holding me back from being the me that i really am and that I want to be. Im told all the time that I am such a beautiful person, but I always think “there is no difference between lies and compliments” when it comes to me, image wise. No one wants to be beautiful solely from inner beauty, though everyone knows that is what matters when it comes down to it, but still everyone wants to feel beautiful on the outside. For me, I want to be able to look back on picutes and fall inlove with every experience all over again and not focus on my size and see discomfort in my face over fun! Right now, I have been going through a rough time in other personal aspects of my life, and I had to sell my jeep because it broke down and I lost my job the same day. Its getting colder outside, snow actually began to fall already, and I have absolutely no pants, just shorts, and no money to buy any. I do have tons of pants in storage but they are about 3 or 4 sizes too small… it would be amazing to be able to wear all of the clothes that i do already have again, and feel beautiful!
Anyway, that is some of my story… I would give anything to be on the biggest loser! I have the will inside me, i just need the opportunity to prove my drive!

Hi, I am Charles Nelson. About a year ago Biggest Loser was having an open casting call in Dallas, Texas. I went to it. That was not the way to try to get on the show. There was thousands of people there. I was asked 1 Question And that was my interview for the show. So now About me. I am at lest 450 Pounds most likely closer to 500 pounds. I am a Vet. of the Army. I have not had a job since 2006. People do not want to hire someone that can hardly move. I am homeless and family is getting tired of me buming around them. I do not have a way to make a video to send to Biggest Loser. The doctors say if I do not lose the I will die. Please help me get on the show. This micht be my last chance for a good life. THANK YOU!
Charles, I can help if you truly are ready to make a lifestyle change. http://www.susanmilligan.com

hi Susan! you keep saying that you can truly help those people to make a lifestyle change, do you work for biggest loser or sometyhing? because i would like to know how you may help us make a life style change. please reply!
To meee … yes, I can. Everyone is individual, so that is why each person must call me to see if this program is a match for what they are looking for and to learn about the process. ~Susan
p.s…. to meee … I do not work for BL. BL is an ‘entertainment show’. It is not reality and long term most people on the show gain their back. Also, people who are significantly over should not be exercising like show on TV because it stresses the body and can create physical feet, back, joint, knee problems. I know … I tried to duplicate what they did on BL and ended up with plantar fasciitis and bulged a disc in my back. Again, BL is for entertainment … it is not reality.
My name is Tanesha and I’m 23 years old. With my passing birthday i relized that i need to do more to lose and be healthy too. I know i’m over 300 pounds but i don’t know the exact number, i’m 5″5 and i’ve been over most of my life. I’ve done diets and excersies and various other things to lose but they didn’t work for me. My family has a history of diabetes and hyper tension pluss asthma too. I don’t have those yet except asthma. Sometimes i have experienced pains in my chest over the years and each time i thought i was going to die of a heart attack or stroke. I’m tired of not being able to do the things that others my age are doing. I want to be able to go out and not worry if people are staring at me or laughing or anything else. I want to feel comfortable when i go places like the movies or a resturaunt. There was another person in my family with my name. She was over just like i am now. She went into a nursing home because of her for a few years before dieing. I heard a rumor in my family that they couldn’t have an open casket funeral for her because of her size. I cried and felt so depressed, thinking that that’s going to be me one day and i didn’t want that to be me. So i’ve started watching what i eat and how much of it i eat, although sometimes i can fall back into old habits but i try to get back on track with things. But i need help because i’m afraid that if i don’t do something now, it will be too late. So please help me to live better and enjoy life like it should be.

Hi my name is Kayla and I am 15 years old. I am 5 6 and around 220 pounds. What makes me angry is that the shows only target adults and I need to lose NOW. I just want to be able to get the same results as them and change my lifestyle for the better.
There’s a new NBC show -loss show for teens. I saw it when I was looking up the Biggest Loser application. Check the Biggest Loser casting blog or their website.

My name is Britiny, i am 19 years old and i weigh over 250 lbs, i have tried everything that i can think of to lose . I am unhealthy, and it is starting to cause me to become depressed. I need something that is going to help me, my dr wants me to join a program but its going to cost me over 3 thousand dollars. i dont have that kind of money. I dont really want to undergo any type of surgery, i need options. please help me.
Hi Britiny. Surgery and drugs to “get healthy” is not the answer to letting go of unwanted/unhealthy body . It’s an oxymoron. Rearranging your body surgically to reduce unhealthy fat is not the way to learn healthy habits that will last a lifetime. I can help. I am a certified health coach and myself lost 100 pounds nearly 4 years ago using a system that has taught me to live a healthier lifestyle.

wheir do i send the pics to
I have a friend who really needs help.She is really over. she can’t even take a walk down the street. I don’t know how to help her. She has diabetes. She is in bad shape. I encourage her to walk but she is embarrassed that people stare. I’m not at all embarrassed to be around her. She has a wonderful personality but the is messing up her life. She has one child a five yr old boy. She had a terrible childhood and emotionally has not dealt with this eventhough she goes to counceling. Im afraid she is going to die at a young age. She is 40rys old and spends most of her time on her couch or bed. She has to have a machine that gives her fresh air or something at night beacuse she has sleep apnea. I feel so bad there is nothing I can do but encourage her but that isn’t woriing at all. I just have no answers.
Here are some idea’s. If she doesn’t want to go out, thats fine. She can do exercises at home. Start by walking in place for say, five minutes three or four times a day. In stead of just sitting there, get some small s and do arm exercises while she watches t.v. Have her son join in too. Start small, let her rest as oftern as she needs to but push her at the same time. Sometimes if you have someone there to help you, its easier. Help her with a food plan. I bet her son could use some exercise too. Get a Biggest Loser calorie book and ccok book, go from there. She needs to get up and move more than from her bed to the couch ect, ect. Good luck and I hope this works.
