Biggest Losers receive medical status check

NBC's Biggest Loser contestant Julie learned last night that she's lost 12 inches off her waist. Neil has lost the equivalent of 3.5 water jugs full of fat. Isabeau, pre-diabetic when she first arrived at the Biggest Loser campus 12 weeks ago, now has the best insulin of all remaining contestants. Bill, whose hypertension was once uncontrolled, now has good blood pressure. Bryan's cholesterol now reads 176 -- it was 279 three months ago. Nicole has lost 74 pounds of hydrated fat. And Hollie has lost more area in her hips than any of her Loser counterparts.

WOW. This crew has made amazing strides. It hasn't been easy. They've worked and worked and then worked some more. But the means to their ends are no mystery. They've done it through diet and exercise alone. Plain and simple.
