‘The Biggest Loser’ alum Roger Shultz is using his success on the hit reality show for good by promoting Scale Back Alabama. The state-wide program seeks to shrink Southern waistlines to the tune of 10 pounds in 10 weeks.
Scale Back Alabama is an annual program that begins on January 1 of each year. Roger Shultz, a finalist on ‘The Biggest Loser,’ is hoping that his televised weight-loss journey will help inspire others to step forward and lose weight in 2009.
Although Shultz was chosen as the runner-up, he broke the record for the most weight lost on ‘The Biggest Loser’ campus with a staggering 151-pound drop. Since the show, Shultz has become a motivational speaker who advocates healthy eating and exercise throughout Alabama. He’s a perfect person to be the face of Scale Back Alabama.
