Pittsburgh's Jessica Limpert on The Biggest Loser

Almost one billion people in this world don’t have enough food to live a healthy life, but in more important news, The Biggest Loser is back! A mind-numbing reality game show about 15 overweight people trying to burn the most fat to win cash. In this competition, the biggest loser is also the biggest winner and walks away with $250,000.

One of those contestants is Jessica Limpert (@JessicaLimpert), a travel nurse from Pittsburgh, PA weighing in at 254 pounds.

We really wanted to blame Pittsburgh’s traditionally unhealthy food options for Jessica’s weight accumulation, but it turns out that campus food was the culprit as usual. Like many students, Jessica actually entered Westminster College at 150 lbs where she gained an additional 80 pounds in her freshman year.

Pittsburgh Chef Elise Wims recently made it to the final three on Hell’s Kitchen season 9, so we’re counting on Jessica Limpert to hold it down for the Burgh on The Biggest Loser. Boring Pittsburgh wishes Jessica the best and hope she walks away from the show looking and feeling great… with cash in hand.

Watch Jessica on The Biggest Loser, Thursdays at 8pm on NBC
