18-year-old Mike Morelli was the youngest ‘The Biggest Loser’ finalist to ever have been a part of the show. Ranking in third place, Morelli lost a total of 207 pounds, more than his current weight of 181 pounds. The winner of the night, however, was 48-year-old Helen, who lost a total of 140 pounds for a final weigh-in at 117.
Despite losing to Helen, Mike Morelli says that he grew up on ‘The Biggest Loser’ and can now accomplish anything. Morelli originally joined the show with his father, Ron. Mike Morelli hopes to take what he learned on ‘The Biggest Loser’ and help his brother accomplish the same weight loss feat.
