Season 3 Biggest Loser Erik Chopin Gains Back 122 Pounds
America rejoiced when deli owner Erik Chopin lost more than half of his weight on season 3 of “Biggest Loser.” He dropped from 407 to 193. Chopin lost so much weight that he had to have surgery to remove sagging skin.
But, Chopin now tells Access Hollywood and Oprah that he has gained back 122 of the pounds he lost, putting him right at 300 pounds now. Chopin blames the weight gain on depression that set in once people stopped caring about his weight loss. “The weight started to keep back on…I felt like I let everyone down, first and foremost my family.” Chopin told Oprah that he wants to get healthy and get his life turned back around before the weight gets “out of control.”

I’ve really enjoyed reading your site, and right I’m trying to lose some weight too. I’m 50 years old and trying to lose 50 pounds by playing Just Dance for Wii. Its only the second day, but progress has definitely been made!
