Unlike other "make-over" type shows, "The Biggest Loser" will focus on exercising the right way, losing weight naturally, and promote positive and healthy living. After years of failed diets and unsuccessful exercising, twelve overweight people will begin a journey together in hopes of reaching their goal of weight loss, getting in shape, and being healthy. Throughout eight episodes, this cast of diverse and dynamic individuals will get the chance to compete for prizes, once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and most importantly, the opportunity to be self-confident about their accomplishments and physical appearance.
