TV: Michael Ventrella is ‘The Biggest Loser’ Champ!
Michael Ventrella, the 30 year old DJ from Chicago is The Biggest Loser! Michael began as the show’s heaviest competitor ever at 526 pounds, won the $250,000 prize after dropping 264 pounds—half his body weight!
“I knew going onto the ranch that I needed to save my life,” said Michael when he was introduced during the live finale. “The only way to do that was to bare all. I left everything I loved, everything I hated — I had to get over it. I dedicated myself so much. I had to reach into a place inside of me I didn’t think existed. Even to this day, I don’t feel like I’m done yet. I’m going to keep going.”
Congrats Michael! What an inspiration!
