Having inspired a nation of millions in its first two seasons, the new season of NBC's Biggest Loser now plans to reach the entire country -- literally. With new rules and new trainers Bob Harper and Kim Lyons, this season's TV reality-fitness phenom features 50 contestants from 50 states -- including a Rhode Island housewife, a firefighter from Tennessee, and a loving father of six from Arizona, among 47 others.

When the contestants arrived, they weighed over 14,000 pounds and during their last week to binge on anything they wanted, they consumed more than 1,000,000 calories. To follow the contestants on their own journey and challenges, catch the new season which begins Wednesday, September 20, 8/7 Central with a two-hour season premiere.
