How it works
Contestants pay $25 to join the Biggest Loser Contest. To keep everyone on an even playing field, the winner will be determined by greatest percentage of weight lost. ((Initial weight – Final weight)/Initial weight) x 100
Contestants will begin the contest by weighing in and calculating their BMI. To participate, contestants must have a BMI of 26 or higher.
Contestants agree to meet with a Transformations Staff Member on a weekly basis to weigh-in. This weigh-in can occur at the convenience of the contestant but must occur within the designated week.
Weeks run Monday through Sunday starting February 17. The final weigh in must occur the week of March 30-April 5.
Within the seven weeks of the contest, there must be at least six weigh-ins recorded to be eligible for the grand prize of $500.
