The announcement of who has lost the highest percentage of their bodyweight during the citywide “Biggest Loser” event will be made on Dec. 4 at 6:30 p.m. at Anytime Fitness in Northbridge Mall. There will also be prizes awarded to the winning individual and team.

On Dec. 1, the 80 contestants will have their final weigh-in.

Contestants began their quest Sept. 2 with a beginning weigh-in. The contestants have weighed in every two weeks, dieted, gone through physical challenges and worked out to see who would win the prize package and the honor of being Albert Lea’s “Biggest Loser.”

Contestants were put in teams of five.

Prizes have been put up by various businesses through out the city. They have even included temptation weigh-ins.

Area businesses have supplied unlimited food to any who would like to eat before they weighed in.
