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!

No it isn't. People who are obesse have end-of-life expenses that are very close to people who smoked. They also tend to have a wider variety of illnesses that smokers don't have.
Hmm? I would have to disagree with you on that generalization. I stand by my statement that is is more likely for an obese person to lead a healthy life than for a smoker or heavy drinker. Being 40 pounds overweight will generally not wreak as much havoc with your body as inhaling carcinogens or consuming copious amounts of alcohol.
