help them transform their bodies, health -- and ultimately --
their lives.
The show provides
strong-willed and hopeful contestants with challenges, temptations,
weigh-ins and eliminations until the final contestant remains
to claim the title of "the biggest loser." Each team
works out under the supervision of professional trainers.
The series has become a
worldwide hit airing in over 75 territories with 25 local productions.
