“I expect it to be tough physically and a major challenge.”

Temptation-wise, Sean’s job as a delivery driver for a bakery scores pretty high. Working long hours and being surrounded by pies is not a great recipe for weight management and he says that being a driver, he also eats a lot of service station food along the way for good measure.

Like his Biggest Loser partner and team mate, Ben, Sean is crazy about baseball and has played the game since he was nine-years-old. The catcher says he’s “very competitive” - a streak that might help Ben and him during the Biggest Loser contest!

Sean used to be slim and dates his weight gain to the nine weeks he had off from baseball due to injury when he was 21. This fiancé also says he put more weight on since being with Meagan and eating “comfort food”.

For this contestant, being on the Biggest Loser will be the “kick up the arse” he needs to lose weight. There’s a history of diabetes in his family and Sean wants to avoid this and the other problems his father developed from being overweight. The baseball fan is also sick of the nightmare of clothes shopping, “I can never find anything my size.”

Sean also resents the assumptions that are made about him because of his weight, “I hate people looking at me and thinking that I’m lazy just because I’m big.”

“I want better fitness, better eating habits and general well being,” says Sean of his hopes for the Biggest Loser experience. “I want to be around for my kids!”
