My reason(s) for applying for Biggest Loser are:
To take advantage of a fresh start at life. I desperately want to gain knowledge to maintain the lifestyle changes that I know I will make inside the house. I want the trainers to break me, and bring me back to a starting point physically and mentally.

I first realized I was overweight and needed help when:
I am generally a huge sports fan; I have always excelled at sports of all kinds. Unfortunately when you are overweight your body can’t keep up with your brain- it really hurts me not to be as active as my brain wants me to be.

I hope to lose weight but gain:
The knowledge to make my life all it should be. This experience will be instrumental in changing my life forever, if nothing else I want to gain the chance to start again. I am 24 years old and I am really excited at the chance of another shot at life

The previous contestant I have found inspiring was (and why?)
Adro; ‘Blood, sweet and tears’ is something that has been in my head since my first application. It is an attitude I have committed myself 100% since entering the house. To me Adro has shown how his motto really works – and keeps working.

The best part of being on Biggest Loser is:
The realistic chance to work like never before and earn a new start at life.

I am preparing myself for this journey by:
Trying to steel myself away from negativity; developing the ability to go further and harder than ever before and channelling the love and support of those dear to me into positive energy and determination.

I think the most difficult part of being on Biggest Loser will be:
Time away from my partner and family.

My biggest weakness is:
The tendency to slip back into old bad habits.

Some bad habits I would like to get rid of are:
Laziness; slipping back into old habits; weakness; letting excuses get the better of me and eating bad foods at the wrong times.

The one thing I want Australia to know about me is that:
IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m here to work hard and go further then I ever have before. This experience will make my life.

I think I will win the Biggest Loser because:
I am willing to go to hell and back. I want to go to hell and back. I need to go to hell and back. I will go to hell and I will smash my way back.

One thing I have never done because I was overweight and will do once I lose the weight will be to:
I want to walk the Kokoda trail. Also, ride my first motorcycle track day. And walk into a funky menÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s clothing store and say ‘one of everything please.’

I know where you are coming from.

Believe me, he was pathetic before he piled on all the weight.

Glad he didnt win. Knew he would take the money. He was always money driven

Biggest Loser level of obesity often means more than just a love of unhealthy food or excessive quantities of it. I, for example, virtually got up to 100kg not long ago. After years of therapy (due to mental disorders) I have learned that my weight is mostly a defence mechanism as a result of my childhood sexual abuse. Now that I understand this and that it doesn't have to mean anything for me now that I'm not a young boy, I've lost 12kgs and well on the way to being a healthy weight.

My point is, though, it was entirely the result of an unrelated factor. People should not be too hard on people like Bryce who also endured childhood traumas. These things take time to get over, and he is doing something about it at a relatively young age. This should be applauded, not criticised.

Noone is discounting the work of the people who stay in shape without help, such as models - who clearly have to work very hard to stay at the top of such a competitive profession. But perhaps their criticism would be better directed elsewhere, maybe toward the obese people who have no intention of doing anything about their situation, rather than the people that actively strive to solve their problems.

As an overweight fourteen year old, you have been a real inspiration to me and you have shown hope and never forgotten what a kind word can do to help. Now I excercise everyday, thinking of the way you stood up in front of everyone and showed them how much you should never back down. My wildest dream would be to meet you and see all of the wonderful things you portray. Keep on, keepin on Bryce!

julie

bryce - you are an inspiration. throughout the whole series you have never strayed from your loyalty and integrity towards yourself and other people. you are a true champ, and i hope everything goes well for you in your future.

bwahahaha model. Well arent you a little fairy fag then arent you. On noes he's got a 6 pack that somehow makes him tough.

Go prance around in your girly clothes you love-o.

mythor i agree 100% its how he handles the situation thats makes him such a joke

i am actually am so strong sam hiding behind my cpu, i get out there and do it everyday.., im a model, im healthy,im fitive got a 6pack, have allways exercised, and looked after myself...

i suppose you will go off on a tangent now..saying that nothing bad has happened to me to grieve me into comfort eating well your wrong again.. ive had a hard trot, maybe thats what angers me so much about bryce and michelle, they're is allways an excuse ..

and with obese people theyre whole life is an excuse

and sam nice buddy..

He's not very doughy anymore!
I don't know that I'd be so harsh. I think he does have balls, it's more just a question of whether he's using them in the right fashion, in a manner of speaking. He's trying to impose his will on situations where he thinks it'll calm things down but doesn't seem to understand that it's only the good graces of others that are allowing things to settle.
I hope he and Michelle both turn their attitudes around before the end, if they get a chance to, as past annoying contestants have done. But we'll see I suppose. :)

And Sam isn't impinging on your "freedom". Which isn't so free actually, but that's another point entirely. :)
All Sam is saying is that few people care what you think. But then, that's true of most people's opinions, so it's not really a scathing criticism. ;)
