You can't exactly call Helen Phillips a "loser" after what just happened. The 48-year-old retired manager from Sterling Heights, MI, became the surprise winner of The Biggest Loser: Couples, which concluded earlier Tuesday night.
She currently weighs 117 pounds, shedding more than half of her original weight of 257 pounds as she entered the ranch. She lost around 54% of her weight, edging out her fellow contestants. Tara Costa, who otherwise dominated the competition with regards to the challenges, lost around 52% of her weight, currently weighing 139 pounds from her original 294 pounds. Mike Morelli, who was voted into the final weigh-in, lost around 53% of his weight, charting at a final 181 pounds from his original weight of 388 pounds. Helen won $250,000 for winning the show, along with the oft-sold new chance at life.
