Ryan benson lost a total of 130 pounds, "First season winner Ryan Benson lost a total of 130 pounds, which is roughly the equivalent of two Goonies (excluding Sloth and Chunk). Who wouldn’t be motivated by that? We’ll tell you who wouldn’t be motivated — anyone who has met Ryan Benson in real life.
Benson’s current weight is around 300 pounds, which is just 30 pounds less than what he weighed at the start of The Biggest Loser. Benson isn’t an anomaly — almost every Biggest Loser winner has gained back a chunk of the weight he or she lost on the show. The worst example is Season 3 winner Eric Chopin.
Chopin began the show clocking in at 400 pounds, and won after successfully dropping 200. Once the show was over, however, Chopin bounced (ahem) right back up to 370 pounds like he got stung by Earth’s mightiest bee.” #CrackedClassic
