Tara Taylor
When we met Tara Taylor on the show, her weight clocked in at just above 600 pounds. At the time, she did not have a social life and suffered severe joint pain and breathing problems. We later found out that she has since reached 278 pounds. Apart from that, she also said that she finally felt ready to put herself out there. She fell for Eugene Perkins, who she married. Unfortunately, she also said that he cheated on her. We are just glad that she is now a confident woman who can ditch anyone who does not value her. She took to social media to say, “I hope you find what ur looking for, Mr. Perkins!!!”

James Jones
During the second season of the show, the heaviest contestant was James Jones. At the time, he weighed 750 pounds. He decided to change his lifestyle after his sister and father died from obesity. After dropping 53 pounds in only two weeks, he got gastric bypass surgery. He kept working hard at the gym and got skin removal surgery. At the moment, he weighs 239 pounds. This means that he has lost a total weight of 511 pounds. Even though he claims to be “not into all the attention,” he did say that he “went on the show to inspire people.” We are sure that he is proud that he got to do such a thing.
