Best friends Daniel and David are one of eleven pairs competing in the second batch of The Biggest Loser: Couples.
Daniel Wright, 19, is a student currently based in Willow Spring, NC. Intelligent and caring, he is known among friends as one who will put others’ interests ahead of him, which hasn’t exactly helped when it comes to his weight. He thinks that his condition is the only thing that gets in the way between him and living life.
David Lee, 23, is also a student, this time from Fuquay-Varina, NC. Despite his weight, he hasn’t let it get in his way; his social life has been very healthy from the get-go. However, his fear of change has held him back when it comes to losing weight. His fear of making dramatic changes in his lifestyle has made it a struggle for him to keep up.
Daniel and David form the Orange Team, training under Jillian Michaels. Both have a lot at stake: the two, who were former linemen at their high school team, are the only remaining members of their respective families to be overweight. That, with their ultra-competitive nature and their lifelong struggles with weight, they hope, will get them above the yellow line on The Biggest Loser: Couples.
