Weigh-in 8
Two is better than one
The Second Chance team have had the help of The Biggest Loser Club Meal Replacement Program throughout their weight-loss journey, but they've also had the support of their buddies. As the end of the Second Chance Challenge looms, the couples rely on each other to see them through to ensure they reach The Biggest Loser Finale and win the $10,000 prize money.
Biggest Loser Couple of the week
Stepdad and daughter: Alex and Jesikah
Losing weight together has worked wonders for the relationship between stepdad Alex and daughter Jesikah and they’re still going strong. "We’ve been going to the gym and doing boot camp at 5am every morning and sticking to the Meal Replacement Program rigidly. We’re both more motivated than ever," reveals Alex.
Their hard work is obviously paying off as this weigh-in they became The Biggest Loser Couple for the first time in this competition. Congratulations Alex and Jesikah!
Doing it together
Despite living in different states, Ben and Kate got in a few training sessions to push each other on. Kate says, "Ben was over this weekend so we loaded up back packs with the weight that each of us have lost and hiked up a hill. This was probably the most defining moment for both of us!"
Meanwhile brothers Chris and Michael and fiancés Jodie and Craig have been teaming up to push themselves to new heights.
Jodie explains, "Craig and I did ‘The 1000 Steps’, which is a 5km walk with a steep incline, with Chris and Michael. The boys all did really well and I even ran all the way back down! I think the brothers and a few of the other Second Chance contestants are coming back to attempt it again and I can't wait!"
Best friends Kate and Karina have found other advantages to doing this weight-loss Challenge together. Kate says, “I’m pleased with my eating plan. The Meal Replacement Shakes are lovely, especially the Wild Berry. Luckily Karina doesn’t like this flavour so we can swap! The Meal Replacement Bars are also very satisfying.”
As an emotional eater, Karina too has felt the benefits of the Meal Replacement Program. “My eating has always been a struggle but I have learnt new habits and now know the triggers that affect me so the Meal Replacement Shakes are a real blessing for me"
