I watched it some last season, but only caught the finale of this season that aired last night. Unbelievable! At least a couple people on the show lost over 50% of their original weight.
The winner, Erik, went from over 400 pounds to under 195. Look at these before and after photos:

Hard to even believe this is the same guy!
Great show and very inspiring. I even got in a little trouble with my wife while we were watching it. Somehow we got to talking about eating healthy and I had to point out that while our dinners are complete nutritionally. They are far from the "healthy" meals the contestants have to eat. Cheese and Thousand Island dressing on salads are no-nos, canned fruit in syrup, etc. Don't fall into the same trap I did.
